Abstract

Conventional on-electronic-map registration data display systems are problematic in that the registration data cannot be dynamically displayed on the electronic maps. An on-electronic-map registration data display system comprises a display data creation unit for creating display data including electronic map data, registration data, and mobile data, a display unit, and an instruction input unit for receiving an instruction input from the user with respect to a location on the electronic map displayed on the display unit. The display data creation unit selects first registration data to be displayed on the electronic map and hides the first registration data on the electronic map or displays in a first format that suppresses the display of the first registration data. When a predetermined positional relationship is maintained between the position of the first registration data on the electronic map and the position of the mobile on the electronic map, the display data creation unit creates the first registration data in a second display format that clearly shows the first registration data on the electronic map.

This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-109343 (filed on April 18, 2008) and Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-109374 (filed on April 18, 2008). The entire disclosure of the application is incorporated herein by reference.

The present invention relates to a registration data display system on an electronic map, which displays on the electronic map at least one registration data associated with a position on the electronic map and a movable body movable on the electronic map.

The present invention further includes a display data creation method and display, including electronic map data, at least one registration data associated with a position on the electronic map, and data of a movable body movable on the electronic map. The present invention relates to a data creation device.

Due to the development of communication technologies such as the Internet, electronic maps that can be accessed from Web browsers have become widespread. In recent years, this electronic map is combined with registration data (for example, advertisement, tourism, landmark information, etc.) associated with a position (coordinates) on the electronic map, and when the user displays the electronic map, the display range is displayed. It is realized that the included registration data is displayed together on the electronic map.

In such a conventional registration data display system on an electronic map, a large amount of registration data is displayed on the electronic map at the same time, so that the user's attention is dispersed and the display effect of each registration data is reduced. there were.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a map that is easy to see and provides a sufficient amount of information, that is, a map that does not have too much registration data (icons) or has too few registration data. An information providing server for selecting information to be displayed among the searched information based on display conditions such as display density and display number of registration data set in advance is described.

In Patent Document 2, a mobile object (avatar) as a user's alternation performs a route search such as a road / railway line on a map, and registration data (region information, etc.) included in the vicinity of the search position is used as map information. A virtual tourism device that is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 300 is also described. According to this, the registration data included in the vicinity of the moving body is dynamically displayed on the screen with the movement of the moving body that is the user's alternation. Such dynamic display of registration data based on the movement of the mobile object can easily obtain the user's attention and can improve the display effect of individual registration data.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a registered data display system 1 on a typical electronic map according to the present invention. This system includes a server device 10 and a user terminal 20, and the user terminal 20 acquires display data from the server device (display data creation device) 10 via the Internet 30. The server device 10 includes an electronic map data holding unit 11, a registration data holding unit 12, a moving body data holding unit 13, and a display data creation unit 14. The user terminal 20 includes a display unit 21 and an instruction input unit 22.

The electronic map data holding unit 11 holds electronic map data that is the basis of electronic map display. The map data here refers to geographical information such as roads, buildings, and terrain shapes. This electronic map data can be in any format such as a raster format based on a map image or a vector format having vector values for points, lines, surfaces, and the like.

The registration data holding unit 12 holds at least one registration data to be displayed on the electronic map. The registration data here is data associated with a specific position on the electronic map, and includes, for example, information on advertisements, sightseeing, resorts, landmarks, and the like. This registration data includes, for example, the position (coordinates) associated with the electronic map, the name / name / registration ID of the registration data provider, contact information such as telephone / mail, and link information to the Web site. Furthermore, the registration data holding unit 12 can hold various attribute information related to registration data. The attribute information here includes the priority of registration data, the category classification of the registration information (high-end store / popular store, etc.), and the like. This registration data can be set by the provider of the registration data, or can be set by a system administrator or user.

The moving object data holding unit 13 holds data related to moving objects that can move on the electronic map. The moving body here includes a moving body expressed in an arbitrary shape such as an avatar, a character image, or a small icon image as a user's alternate. Furthermore, the mobile data holding unit can hold various attribute information about the user. The attribute information here includes a user's sex, age, hobbies, and preferences. This user attribute information can be set by the user himself / herself, or can be set by the system administrator with reference to the user's action history.

The display data creation unit 14 creates display data including electronic map data, registration data, and mobile data. This display data is constituted by a file such as (X) HTML / XML / JavaScript (registered trademark) / CSS. The display data creation unit 14 is configured as software executed on any suitable processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), or by a dedicated processor (for example, DSP (Digital Signal Processor)) specialized for each process. Can be configured. The display data creation unit 14 selects registration data (first registration data) to be displayed on the electronic map. The display data created by the display data creation unit 14 is normally displayed on the electronic map in a first display mode in which the registration data is hidden or the display of the registration data is suppressed. When the position on the electronic map and the position of the moving body on the electronic map are in a predetermined positional relationship, the registration data is displayed in the second display mode that clearly indicates the registration data on the electronic map. Display data to be displayed. That is, for example, in the normal state, the registration data is not displayed on the electronic map (or displayed inconspicuously), and the moving body moves, for example, when the moving body passes near the registration data (the moving body) And registration data are in a predetermined positional relationship), it is possible to create display data that the registration data is dynamically displayed.

Here, the predetermined positional relationship includes, for example, a positional relationship centered on a moving body and a positional relationship centered on each registered data. The positional relationship centered on the moving body refers to a case where registration data is included in a certain range centered on the moving body. The positional relationship centered on each registered data means that a predetermined range centered on each registered data is set for each registered data, and when the moving body passes through the range, the second display mode is set. It means making it switch. The shape in this range includes an arbitrary shape such as a circle and a rectangle.

Here, the first display mode refers to a mode in which registration data is not clearly displayed, and includes no display of registration data, or small dot display, light color display, small icon display, and the like.

Here, the second display mode refers to a mode in which the registration data is clearly displayed. An image such as an icon or a photo related to the registration data, a logo mark, the name of the provider of the registration data, and a link to the Web site Includes information display. Further, in the second display mode, a special audio signal can be generated or the second display mode can be displayed by using a special animation process or the like.

Further, the display data created by the display data creation unit 14 indicates that the registration data is displayed on the electronic map when the instruction input indicates the second display mode of the registered data on the electronic map. Display data displayed in the third display mode shown can be included. That is, when the user clicks the second display mode of the registration data with a mouse or the like, more detailed information regarding the registration data can be displayed as the third display mode.

Here, the third display mode refers to a mode in which the registration data is displayed in detail. An image such as an icon or a photo related to the registration data, a logo mark, the name of the provider of the registration data, and a link to the Web site In addition to information etc., it contains more detailed information about the registration data, such as advertising texts set by the registrant and a list of recommended products.

Further, the display data created by the display data creation unit 14 can include display data that changes the display mode of the moving object when the registration data is displayed in the second display mode. For example, when the mobile object is an anthropomorphic avatar, a display mode (for example, indicating that the mobile object has perceived the second display mode when the second display mode of registered data is displayed) The user's attention is displayed in the second display mode by using the avatar's face (line of sight) facing the direction of the second display mode, the avatar being surprised / happy with the display of the second display mode, etc. Can be directed to registered data.

The first to third display modes of the registration data and the display data related to the moving body can be realized by techniques well known to those skilled in the art. For example, if using JavaScript, the registration data is normally hidden (or displayed inconspicuously), and when the moving body moves, it is determined whether the registration data is included in the vicinity of the moving body, When registration data is included in the vicinity of the mobile object, a script can be created that dynamically displays the registration data in the second display mode (a display mode that is easily noticeable to the user). Similarly, a person skilled in the art creates a script that displays the third display mode according to the user's click or changes the display mode of the moving object according to the display of the second display mode. Can do.

Further, the display data creating unit 14 can select registration data to be displayed on the electronic map according to the user attribute information. Thereby, for example, registration data suitable for the user's hobbies and preferences is displayed, and the display effect of the registration data can be improved.

Also, the display data creation unit 14 can set a predetermined positional relationship according to the user attribute information. Thereby, for example, the user can freely determine the range in which the registered data is displayed in the second display mode.

Also, the display data creation unit 14 can select registration data to be displayed on the electronic map according to the registration data attribute information. As a result, for example, registration data is displayed according to the priority of registration data, etc., and registration data with higher priority is displayed higher than registration data with lower priority. Incentives can be set in the registration data according to name, name recognition, reputation, etc. Also, by registering the registration data included in the display data into multiple layers according to the category classification of the registration data, etc., the user can register the registration data of the layer that he / she wants to display, such as a luxury store / popular store. You can choose.

Furthermore, the display data creation unit 14 can set a predetermined positional relationship according to the registered data attribute information. For example, the predetermined positional relationship with respect to the second display mode can be changed in accordance with the priority of the registration data, and the registration data with a high priority can be registered even if the moving object is slightly separated. Incentives according to the registration fee, name recognition, reputation, etc. can be set in the registration data.

The electronic map data holding unit 11, the registration data holding unit 12, the mobile data holding unit 13, and the display data creation unit 14 included in the server device 10 can be implemented as individual server devices for each unit. In addition, when implementing as each server apparatus for every part, the display data creation apparatus which concerns on this invention is comprised as a collection of each server apparatus. When implemented as an individual server device, the display data creation unit 14 exchanges data with each unit through an electric communication line such as the Internet 30.

The display unit 21 displays the display data acquired from the server device 10 through the Internet 30. Here, the display unit 21 includes an Internet browser, display software developed specifically for the Internet, and the like. As the display data included in the display data, the display unit 21 normally displays the registration data in the first display mode in which the registration data is hidden or the display of the registration data is suppressed on the electronic map. .

The instruction input unit 22 receives an input from the user 50 and controls the position of the moving body on the electronic map displayed on the display unit 21. The instruction input unit 22 here includes all input interfaces such as a mouse and a keyboard. For example, when the user designates the moving destination position of the moving object with the mouse, the moving object starts moving to the designated location. The movement of the moving body can be a linear movement, a random walk, or a movement along vector information such as a road. Further, according to the priority of the registration data, for example, the moving path of the moving body may be set so that the moving body is attracted to the registration data having a higher priority. When the positions of the mobile object and the registration data are in a predetermined positional relationship, the registration data is displayed in the second display mode. When the position of the mobile object and the registered data deviates from the predetermined positional relationship, the second display mode can be hidden immediately, or the second display mode can be hidden after a certain period of time. . When the registration data is displayed in the second display mode, the first display mode can be hidden or displayed as it is.

Also, the instruction input unit 22 can display more detailed information regarding the registered data as the third display mode by instructing the second display mode of the registered data by, for example, clicking the mouse.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the display contents of the display unit 21 including the registration data d1 to d12, the first display modes 101 to 112, and the moving body 500, respectively. Here, the first display modes 101 to 112 of the registered data d1 to d12 are displayed as dotted circles. With the first display modes 101 to 112, the user can recognize that the registration data d1 to d12 exist on the electronic map, but cannot recognize the specific contents of the registration data d1 to d12. The first display modes 101 to 112 may not be displayed, and the registration data d1 to d12 may be hidden as described above.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating display contents of the display unit 21 including the registration data d6 and d7 displayed in the second display mode (206, 207) and the third display mode (306, 307). In this example, the user gives an instruction to move to the moving destination 400 to the moving body 500 by the instruction input unit 22 of the user terminal. The moving body 500 starts moving along the moving path 410 in response to this instruction. When the moving body reaches the midpoint 411 of the moving path 410, the registration data d7 is included in the vicinity of the moving body. Therefore, the second display mode 207 of the registration data d7 is dynamically displayed on the screen. This second display mode 207 is displayed as an icon image of the registrant's store. In this case, the first display mode 107 of the registration data d7 can be hidden or kept displayed. Here, when the second display mode 207 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 307 of the registration data d7 is displayed. This third display mode 307 includes the name of the registrant and link information to the registrant's Web site. For example, by clicking the link information to the registrant's website included in the third display mode 307 with the mouse, the registrant's own website can be displayed, and the user can be provided with more detailed information. . When the moving body 500 continues to move and the registration data d7 is out of the vicinity of the moving body, the second display mode 207 of the registration data d7 is not displayed.

The moving object 500 continues to move, and when it reaches the midpoint 412, registration data d6 is included in the vicinity of this moving object. Therefore, the second display mode 206 of the registration data d6 is displayed. This second display mode 206 is displayed as an icon image of the registrant's store. Here, when the second display mode 206 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 306 of the registration data d6 is displayed. The third display mode 306 includes registration information such as the name of the registrant's store and a recommended product list (and online purchase link information embedded in the product image). If the user moves the moving body 500 to the destination 400 without clicking the second display mode 206 of the registration data d6, the registration data d6 is out of the vicinity of the moving body, and the second display mode 206 of the registration data d6. Is hidden.

As described above, the registration data included in the vicinity of the movement route is dynamically displayed as the moving body 500 moves, so that each registration data can easily obtain the user's attention and enhance the display effect of the registration data. I can do it.

Also, when the

second display modes

207 and 206 are displayed, the display mode of the moving object can be changed. For example, by using a display mode in which the face (line of sight) of the avatar faces the direction of the

second display mode

207, 206, the avatar is surprised / happy with the display of the second display mode, etc. Can be directed to the registration data d7 and d6 displayed in the

second display mode

207 and 206.

In addition, there is no strict distinction between the display contents of the second display mode and the third display mode, and certain registered data is displayed in the second display mode (for example, store images, company logo marks, etc.). Other registered data can be displayed as the third display mode. On the contrary, what a certain registration data displays in the third display mode (for example, a link to a product list or a Web site) can be displayed as the second display mode in other registration data. Furthermore, for example, store images, company logo marks, and information such as product lists and links to websites can be collected and displayed as the second display mode (or third display mode).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a communication sequence between the user terminal and the server device. The exchange of display data is normally performed using HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), but any other protocol can also be used. First, an HTTP Get message is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the server device 10. In response to the HTTP Get message, the display data creation unit 14 of the server device 10 transmits display data including electronic map data, registration data, and mobile data. This data includes the second display mode and / or the third display mode (not shown except for 206, 207, 306, and 307) of the registration data d1 to d12 included in the display range shown in FIG. All data necessary for display is included. Therefore, although the amount of display data increases, there is no need to perform new communication with the server device 10 when displaying in the second display mode and / or the third display mode, and the user's sensation speed is improved. To do.

In such a display system, a predetermined positional relationship can be set around each registered data. FIG. 5 is a diagram in which a predetermined positional relationship between the moving body and the registration data is set around each registration data. The user gives an instruction to move the moving body 500 to the destination 400 by using the instruction input unit 22 of the user terminal. The moving body 500 starts moving along the moving path 410 in response to this instruction. When the moving body reaches the midpoint 411 of the moving path 410, the moving body 500 is included in a predetermined range centered on the registration data d7. Therefore, the second display mode 207 of the registration data d7 is dynamically displayed on the screen. Here, when the second display mode 207 of the registration data d7 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 307 of the registration data d7 is displayed. When the moving body 500 continues to move and deviates from the range centered on the registration data d7, the second display mode 207 of the registration data d7 is not displayed. The moving body 500 continues to move, and when reaching the midpoint 412, the moving body 500 is included in a predetermined range centered on the registration data d6. Therefore, the second display mode 206 of the registration data d6 is displayed. Here, when the second display mode 206 of the registration data d6 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 306 of the registration data d6 is displayed. The respective ranges centered on the registration data d7 and d6 can be set to different sizes and shapes. For example, this range can be set according to the priority of the registration data.

When the display data is further displayed on the electronic map in the second display mode and / or the third display mode on the electronic map, the display unit displays the second display mode and / or the third display mode. It is possible to include display data for newly acquiring additional data necessary for the display mode from the registered data holding unit. That is, in this case, the display data that the user terminal first receives from the server device includes a link code to the registration data necessary for the second display mode and / or the third display mode. The substantial registration data regarding the display mode and / or the third display mode is not included. Substantial registration data regarding the second display mode and / or the third display mode is newly acquired from the server device when the registration data is included in the vicinity of the moving path of the mobile object.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a communication sequence in this case. First, an HTTP Get message is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the server device 10. In response to the HTTP Get message, the display data creation unit 14 of the server device 10 transmits display data including electronic map data, registration data, and mobile data. The display data 14 includes substantial registration data necessary for the second display mode, but does not include substantial registration data necessary for the third display mode. Instead, for the third display mode, a link code to necessary registration data is included. As shown in FIG. 3, when the mobile unit 500 moves and the registration data d7 and d6 are displayed in the

third display modes

307 and 306, new HTTP communications are respectively generated and the registration data of the server device 10 is registered. The substantial registration data necessary for the third display mode is acquired from the holding unit 12. This makes it possible to dynamically acquire necessary data while suppressing the amount of display data to be initially given to the user terminal. The newly acquired data can be dynamically displayed on an existing display screen without causing redrawing of the entire display unit using Ajax technology using DHTML / Java Script. .

It should be noted that not only the third display mode but also substantial registration data related to the second display mode can be acquired by new HTTP communication.

The display system 1 further includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) device, and the display unit can change the display range of the electronic map displayed on the display unit according to the value acquired by the GPS device. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a registered data display system on an electronic map including the GPS device 23. The GPS device 23 acquires coordinate information of the current location using radio waves from the satellite, and gives the acquired value to the display unit 21. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the display range of the electronic map is changed according to the value acquired by the GPS device 23. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the electronic map is scrolled to the right from the state of FIG. At this time, the GPS device 23 acquires a value corresponding to the movement of the user terminal in the right direction, and the display unit changes the display range of the electronic map in the right direction according to this value. In FIG. 8, the registration data d <b> 10 is included in a predetermined range centered on the moving body 500 by the scrolling in the right direction. Therefore, the second display mode 210 of the registration data d10 is displayed. When the second display mode 210 is clicked through the instruction input 22, a third display mode 310 is displayed. In this way, by changing the display range of the electronic map in conjunction with the value acquired by the GPS device 23, for example, the surrounding registration data can be displayed dynamically while moving in a vehicle or the like. By acquiring the user's attention, the display effect of the registered data can be improved. Even when the GPS device 23 is used, the instruction input unit 22 is used to change the position of the moving body 500, and the registration data desired by the user is displayed in the second display mode (and the third display mode). Can be displayed.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a flowchart of a display data creation method according to the present invention. A display data creation method according to the present invention creates display data including electronic map data, at least one registration data associated with a position on the electronic map, and data of a moving body that can move on the electronic map. . In this method, first, registration data to be displayed on an electronic map is selected (s1). Here, the registration data to be included in the display data to be given to the user terminal is selected according to the range of the electronic map displayed on the user terminal. In addition, registration data and various attribute information of a user can be used for selection of this registration data. Next, this method creates display data that normally displays the registration data in the first display mode in which the registration data is hidden on the electronic map or the display of the registration data is suppressed (s2). Further, in this method, when the position of the registration data on the electronic map and the position of the mobile object on the electronic map have a predetermined positional relationship, the registration data is clearly indicated on the electronic map. Display data to be displayed in the second display mode is generated (s3). For s2 and s3, codes can be created in any order. Thereby, the user can control the position of the moving body on the electronic map on the user terminal side, and further, the registration data included in the vicinity of the moving path of the moving body is dynamically displayed. The registered data can easily obtain the user's attention, and the display effect of the registered data can be improved.

The display data creation method further displays the registration data on the electronic map in the third display mode showing the details of the registration data when the instruction input indicates the second display mode of the registration data. A step of creating display data (not shown). Thereby, more detailed information of registration data can be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the display data creation method, when the registration data is displayed in the second display mode on the electronic map, the display unit displays additional data necessary for the second display mode. And a step (s4) of creating display data newly acquired from the registered data holding unit. Thereby, the display data given from the server device to the user terminal can be prevented from including registration data more than necessary, and necessary data can be acquired from the server device as needed.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present embodiment, the user can control the position of the moving object on the electronic map, and registration data included in the vicinity of the moving path of the moving object can be moved. Therefore, each registered data can easily obtain the user's attention, and the display effect of the registered data can be improved.

Note that the above description shows only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and these configurations can be combined with each other or various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. .

For example, the registration data displayed on the electronic map is classified into first registration data and second registration data. The first registration data is normally not displayed as in the above embodiment, and the mobile object Can be displayed dynamically when passing through the vicinity, and the second registration data can always be displayed on the electronic map. By changing the display method of the registration data in this way, the registration data that the user wants to always display and the registration data that is displayed in a supplementary (dynamic) manner by switching between display and non-display are displayed on the same electronic map. It becomes possible to express with. For example, the first registration data and the second registration data can be selected according to user attribute information, registration data attribute information, a search query for registration data search, and the like. For example, when the first registration data and the second registration data are selected by a search query, the registration data that completely matches the search query is set as the first registration data, and the registration data that partially matches the search query is the first registration data. 2 registration data. It is also possible to select the first registration data by the search query and select the second registration data according to the attribute information of the user and the registration data.

In this case, the display data creation unit 14 selects first registration data and second registration data to be displayed on the electronic map. The display data created by the display data creation unit 14 displays the first registration data on the electronic map in a first display mode in which the first registration data is hidden or suppressed from being displayed. If the position of the registered data on the electronic map and the position of the mobile object on the electronic map are in a predetermined positional relationship, the first registered data is converted to the first registered data on the electronic map. Is displayed in a second display mode, and display data is displayed on the electronic map in a fourth display mode that specifies the second registration data. That is, in the normal state, the first registration data is not displayed on the electronic map (or displayed inconspicuously), and the moving body moves, for example, the moving body passes near the first registration data. In this case (when the moving body and the first registration data are in a predetermined positional relationship), the first registration data is dynamically displayed. The second registration data is always displayed on the electronic map.

In this case, the flowchart according to the present invention is similar to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the step of selecting the second registration data to be displayed on the electronic map, and the second registration data on the electronic map. Then, a step of generating display data, which is displayed in a fourth display mode that clearly shows the second registration data, is added.

Here, the fourth display mode refers to a mode in which the second registration data is clearly displayed. An image such as an icon or a photo related to the second registration data, a logo mark, and the name of the provider of the registration data. Including display of link information to the website.

Further, the display data creation unit 14 can select the first and second registration data to be displayed on the electronic map according to the search query. Thereby, for example, registration data that completely matches the search query can be selected as the second registration data, and registration data that partially matches the search query can be selected as the first registration data.

The first to third display modes of the first registration data, the fourth display mode of the second registration data, and the display data related to the moving body can be realized by techniques well known to those skilled in the art. For example, if JavaScript is used, the first registration data is normally hidden (or displayed inconspicuously) when the mobile object moves, and the first registration data is included in the vicinity of the mobile object. If the first registration data is included in the vicinity of the moving body, the first registration data is dynamically displayed in the second display mode (a display mode that is easily noticeable by the user). You can create a script. Similarly, a person skilled in the art displays the second registration data on the electronic map in the fourth display mode, or displays the third display mode of the first registration data in response to a user click. Or a script that changes the display mode of the moving object in conjunction with the display of the second display mode of the first registration data.

Further, the display data creation unit 14 can select the first and / or second registration data to be displayed on the electronic map according to the user attribute information. Thereby, for example, registration data that completely matches the user's hobbies and preferences can be used as the second registration data, and registration data that partially matches can be used as the first registration data. The information desired by the user is supplementarily displayed together with the search query and the like, and the display effect of the search result can be improved.

Also, the display data creation unit 14 can select the first and / or second registration data to be displayed on the electronic map according to the registration data attribute information. Thereby, for example, the registration data is displayed according to the priority of the registration data, the registration data with a high priority is set as the second registration data, and the registration data with a low priority is set as the first registration data. Incentives according to the registration fee, name recognition, reputation, etc. can be set in the registration data. Also, by registering the registration data included in the display data into multiple layers according to the category classification of the registration data, etc., the user can register the registration data of the layer that he / she wants to display, such as a luxury store / popular store. You can choose.

In this case, the instruction input unit 22 receives an input from the user 50 and controls the position of the moving body on the electronic map displayed on the display unit 21. The instruction input unit 22 here receives input from any input interface such as a mouse or a keyboard. For example, the user can input a search query using a keyboard. The instruction input unit 22 passes this search query to the display unit 21, and the display unit 21 transmits this search query to the server device 10 through the Internet 30 and receives a corresponding search result (display data). Further, for example, when the user designates the moving destination position of the moving object with the mouse, the moving object starts moving to the designated location. When the positions of the moving body and the registration data are in a predetermined positional relationship, the first registration data is displayed in the second display mode.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the content of display data corresponding to a certain search query displayed on the display unit 21. In FIG. 11, the first registration data d1 to d12, the first display modes 101 to 112, the second registration data a1 to a3, the fourth display modes 601 to 603, A body 500 is shown. Here, for the sake of explanation, the first display modes 101 to 112 of the first registration data d1 to d12 are displayed by dotted circles. However, the user has registered data d1 to d12 on the electronic map. It cannot be recognized that it exists (in other words, the first registration data is not displayed). The fourth display modes 601 to 603 of the second registration data a1 to a3 are assumed to be clearly recognized by the user as indicated by the solid rectangle.

Note that the display data shown in FIG. 11 is not necessarily acquired by a search query, and can be acquired according to information such as user attributes and registered data attributes. (In other words, the selection of the first and second registration data is not limited to the search query.)

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the display content of the display unit 21 including the registration data d6 and d7 displayed in the second display mode (206, 207) and the third display mode (306, 307). In this example, only the second registration data (a1 to a3) selected by the search query from the user is displayed on the electronic map, and the first registration data (d1 to d12) selected by the user's preference is displayed. ) Is hidden. Here, the user uses the instruction input unit 22 of the user terminal to instruct the moving body 500 to move to the destination 400 that is near the display mode 601 of the second registration data a1 displayed on the electronic map. give. The moving body 500 starts moving along the moving path 410 in response to this instruction. When the moving body reaches the midpoint 411 of the moving path 410, the first registration data d7 is included in the vicinity of the moving body. Therefore, the second display mode 207 of the first registration data d7 is dynamically displayed on the screen. This second display mode 207 is displayed as an icon image of the registrant's store. Here, when the second display mode 207 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 307 of the first registration data d7 is displayed. This third display mode 307 includes the name of the registrant and link information to the registrant's Web site. When the moving body 500 continues to move and the first registration data d7 deviates from the vicinity of the moving body, the second display mode 207 of the first registration data d7 is not displayed. When the moving body 500 continues to move and reaches the midpoint 412, the first registered data d6 is included in the vicinity of the moving body. Therefore, the second display mode 206 of the first registration data d6 is displayed. This second display mode 206 is displayed as an icon image of the registrant's store. Here, when the second display mode 206 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 306 of the first registration data d6 is displayed. The third display mode 306 includes registration information such as the name of the registrant's store and a recommended product list (and online purchase link information embedded in the product image). When the user moves the moving body 500 to the destination 400 without clicking the second display mode 206 of the first registration data d6, the first registration data d6 is moved away from the vicinity of the moving body, and the first registration data d6 is displayed. The second display mode 206 of the data d6 is not displayed. As described above, the second registration data is always clearly displayed on the electronic map, and the first registration data included in the vicinity of the moving route is dynamically displayed as the mobile object 500 moves. For example, by dynamically displaying auxiliary registration data that suits the user's preference on the screen, the individual first registration data can easily acquire the user's attention, and the search result display effect can be enhanced. I can do it.

In such a display system, a predetermined positional relationship can be set around each registered data. FIG. 13 is a diagram in which a predetermined positional relationship between the moving body and the registration data is set around each registration data. Only the second registration data (a1 to a3) selected by the search query from the user is displayed on the electronic map, and the first registration data (d1 to d12) selected by the attribute of the registration data is not displayed. It is displayed. The user gives an instruction to move to the moving destination 400 that is in the vicinity of the display mode 601 of the second registered data a1 displayed on the electronic map, by the instruction input unit 22 of the user terminal. The moving body 500 starts moving along the moving path 410 in response to this instruction. When the moving body reaches the midpoint 411 of the moving path 410, the moving body 500 is included in a predetermined range centered on the first registration data d7. Therefore, the second display mode 207 of the first registration data d7 is dynamically displayed on the screen. Here, when the second display mode 207 of the first registration data d7 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 307 of the first registration data d7 is displayed. When the moving body 500 continues to move and deviates from the range centered on the first registration data d7, the second display mode 207 of the first registration data d7 is not displayed. The moving body 500 continues to move, and when reaching the midpoint 412, the moving body 500 is included in a predetermined range centered on the first registration data d6. Therefore, the second display mode 206 of the first registration data d6 is displayed. Here, when the second display mode 206 of the first registration data d6 is clicked through the instruction input unit 22, the third display mode 306 of the first registration data d6 is displayed. The respective ranges centered on the first registration data d7 and d6 can be set to different sizes and shapes, and for example, this range can be set according to the priority of the registration data.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present embodiment, certain registration data (second registration data) is always displayed on the electronic map, while other registration data (first registration data) is displayed. Is normally hidden and can be dynamically displayed on the electronic map when the moving body passes the vicinity in accordance with the movement of the moving body. In other words, while ensuring the listability of registration data required by the user, the auxiliary registration data is dynamically displayed to improve the user's interest in search results, and display effect of registration data such as advertisements. Can be improved.
