Abstract

Une partie détermination (103) détermine, à partir d'informations relatives à la position d'un corps mobile acquises par une partie acquisition (102), si un corps mobile est passé à proximité d'un élément de terrain compris dans les informations de carte. Lorsqu'on détermine que ce corps mobile est passé à proximité de cet élément de terrain, une partie mise à jour de degré de reconnaissance (105) met à jour le degré de reconnaissance, ce degré fonctionnant comme la norme permettant de déterminer si l'élément de terrain est reconnu par l'utilisateur. Une partie liaison (106) relie le degré de reconnaissance mis à jour et l'élément de terrain entre eux et enregistre ces informations reliées dans une partie enregistrement (101). Par ailleurs, à partir de cette information enregistrée, un élément de terrain, fonctionnant comme un repère est spécifié parmi les éléments de terrain présents dans la périphérie d'un point de guidage, et le guidage est effectué par référence à cet élément de terrain spécifié.
