　なお、サーバ装置１０は、一度訪問情報を送信した訪問移動体に対し、その現在の位置が継続してスポットエリアに在る場合には訪問情報の送信をせず、その現在の位置が該スポットエリア外に出て再度スポットエリア内に入ったときに再度訪問情報を送信する。つまり、スポットエリアへの１回の訪問に対して１回の訪問情報を送信する。 Note that the server device 10 does not transmit the visit information when the current position continues to be in the spot area for the visiting mobile body that has once transmitted the visit information, and the current position is When you go out of the area and enter the spot area again, the visit information is sent again. That is, one visit information is transmitted for one visit to the spot area.
　次に、上述した構成の情報処理システム１のナビゲーション装置５０の動作（訪問情報表示処理）の一例を、図４を参照して説明する。図４は、図１のナビゲーション装置の動作（訪問情報表示処理）の一例を示すフローチャートである。 Next, an example of the operation (visit information display processing) of the navigation device 50 of the information processing system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation (visit information display processing) of the navigation device of FIG.
　ナビゲーション装置５０は、サーバ装置１０から訪問情報を受信するまでは（Ｔ１３０でＮ）、ＧＰＳ受信部により定期的に現在の位置及び日時の情報を取得し、これら現在の位置及び日時を含む所在情報を生成して（Ｔ１１０）、生成した所在情報をサーバ装置１０に送信する（Ｔ１２０）。また、ナビゲーション装置５０は、サーバ装置１０から訪問情報を受信すると（Ｔ１３０でＹ）、この受信した訪問情報を表示部５７に表示する（Ｔ１４０）。ナビゲーション装置５０は上記動作（Ｔ１１０～Ｔ１４０）を繰り返し実行する。 Until receiving the visit information from the server device 10 (N in T130), the navigation device 50 periodically acquires the current position and date / time information by the GPS receiver, and the location information including the current location and date / time. Is generated (T110), and the generated location information is transmitted to the server device 10 (T120). When the navigation device 50 receives the visit information from the server device 10 (Y in T130), the navigation device 50 displays the received visit information on the display unit 57 (T140). The navigation device 50 repeatedly executes the above operations (T110 to T140).
　次に、上述した構成の情報処理システム１（サーバ装置１０、及び、複数の移動体２０、３０、４０のそれぞれに配置されたナビゲーション装置５０）の動作の一例を図５～図８を参照して説明する。 Next, an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 configured as described above (the server device 10 and the navigation device 50 arranged in each of the plurality of mobile bodies 20, 30, 40) will be described with reference to FIGS. I will explain.
　図５は、図１の情報処理システムの動作の一例を示すシーケンス図である。図６は、図１の情報処理システムで用いられるデータ及びその流れの一例を説明する図である。図７（ａ）～（ｃ）は、図１のナビゲーション装置の表示部に表示される訪問情報表示画面の一例である。図８は、移動体がスポットエリアを訪れたときを模式的に示す図である。なお、図５、図６において、移動体２０、３０、４０のそれぞれの名前をメンバーＡ、メンバーＢ、メンバーＣとしている。また、移動体２０、３０、４０は、同一のグループαに所属している。図５、図６は、移動体２０が、エリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアＳを訪れた移動体（訪問移動体）である場合の動作を示している。 FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the information processing system of FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of data and its flow used in the information processing system of FIG. FIGS. 7A to 7C are examples of a visit information display screen displayed on the display unit of the navigation device of FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating when the mobile object has visited the spot area. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the names of the mobile bodies 20, 30, and 40 are member A, member B, and member C, respectively. Moreover, the mobile bodies 20, 30, and 40 belong to the same group α. 5 and 6 show an operation in the case where the moving body 20 is a moving body (visiting moving body) that has visited the spot area S set in the area database 15.
　図５に示すように、複数の移動体２０、３０、４０は、自身の現在の位置及び日時を含む所在情報を生成して定期的にサーバ装置１０に送信する（Ｔ１）。サーバ装置１０は、受信した所在情報をそれを送信した移動体に関連づけて記憶部１６に累積的に記憶する（Ｔ２、図６のＤ１）。そして、サーバ装置１０は、定期的に受信した所在情報に含まれる移動体の現在の位置に基づいて、エリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアを訪れた移動体の有無を判定する（Ｔ３）。 As shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of mobile units 20, 30, 40 generate location information including their current position and date and periodically transmit them to the server device 10 (T 1). The server device 10 accumulates the received location information in the storage unit 16 in association with the mobile body that transmitted the location information (T2, D1 in FIG. 6). And the server apparatus 10 determines the presence or absence of the mobile body which visited the spot area set to the area database 15 based on the present position of the mobile body contained in the location information received regularly (T3).
　サーバ装置１０は、エリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアを訪れた移動体がない場合、何も行わない。 The server device 10 does nothing when there is no moving object that has visited the spot area set in the area database 15.
　そして、図８に示すように、移動体２０の所在情報に示される現在の位置がエリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアのうちの１つのスポットエリアＳの外側から内側に変化した、つまり、移動体２０がスポットエリアＳを訪れたとする。なお、スポットエリアＳの範囲は、中心座標Ｘ５、Ｙ５から予め定められた地点到達定義距離（例えば、３０ｍ）を半径とする円に示される範囲としている。勿論、スポットエリアの範囲は、このような形でなく、当該範囲に含まれる座標の集合などで表されていてもよい。 Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the current position indicated in the location information of the moving body 20 has changed from the outside to the inside of one spot area S of the spot areas set in the area database 15, that is, the movement Assume that the body 20 visits the spot area S. The range of the spot area S is a range indicated by a circle whose radius is a predetermined point arrival defined distance (for example, 30 m) from the center coordinates X5 and Y5. Of course, the range of the spot area may not be in this form, but may be represented by a set of coordinates included in the range.
　移動体２０がスポットエリアＳを訪れると、サーバ装置１０は、エリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアＳを訪れた移動体（移動体２０）があるものとして、訪問情報を生成する（Ｔ４）。 When the mobile body 20 visits the spot area S, the server device 10 generates visit information on the assumption that there is a mobile body (mobile body 20) that has visited the spot area S set in the area database 15 (T4).
　例えば、図６に示すように、サーバ装置１０は、移動体２０に関連づけて記憶部１６に累積的に記憶された所在情報（ログ）からスポットエリアＳを訪れた履歴Ｈ１を抽出して、この履歴Ｈ１に基づいて、移動体２０がスポットエリアＳを訪れた回数を算出し、この回数を示す情報を含む訪問情報（以下、「訪問情報［個別メンバー］」という。）を生成する。 For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the server device 10 extracts the history H1 that has visited the spot area S from the location information (log) that is cumulatively stored in the storage unit 16 in association with the moving body 20, and this Based on the history H1, the number of times the moving body 20 has visited the spot area S is calculated, and visit information including information indicating the number of times (hereinafter referred to as “visit information [individual member]”) is generated.
　また、サーバ装置１０は、移動体２０に関連づけて記憶部１６に累積的に記憶された所在情報（ログ）及び移動体２０と同一グループの他の移動体（移動体３０、４０）に関連づけて記憶部１６に累積的に記憶された所在情報（ログ）からスポットエリアＳを訪れた履歴Ｈ２を抽出して、この履歴Ｈ２に基づいて、移動体２０と同一グループの他の移動体３０、４０のうち最後にスポットエリアＳを訪れた日時を得て、この日時を示す情報を含む訪問情報（以下、「訪問情報［グループ］」という。）を生成する。 In addition, the server device 10 is associated with the location information (log) accumulated in the storage unit 16 in association with the mobile body 20 and other mobile bodies (mobile bodies 30 and 40) in the same group as the mobile body 20. The history H2 that has visited the spot area S is extracted from the location information (log) stored cumulatively in the storage unit 16, and based on this history H2, the other moving bodies 30, 40 in the same group as the moving body 20 are extracted. The date and time of the last visit to the spot area S is obtained, and visit information including information indicating the date and time (hereinafter referred to as “visit information [group]”) is generated.
　また、サーバ装置１０は、全ての移動体のそれぞれに関連づけて記憶部１６に累積的に記憶された所在情報（ログ）からスポットエリアＳを訪れた履歴Ｈ３を抽出して、この履歴Ｈ３に基づいて、全ての移動体がスポットエリアＳを訪れた累積回数を算出し、この累積回数が所定の特別回数と同一であれば、その特別回数を示す情報この回数を示す情報を含む訪問情報（以下、「訪問情報［全移動体］」という。）を生成する。 Further, the server device 10 extracts the history H3 that has visited the spot area S from the location information (log) that is cumulatively stored in the storage unit 16 in association with each of all the moving objects, and based on this history H3. Then, the cumulative number of times that all the mobile objects have visited the spot area S is calculated, and if this cumulative number is the same as the predetermined special number, the information indicating the special number Visit information including the information indicating this number , “Visit information [all moving objects]”).
　なお、サーバ装置１０は、上記履歴Ｈ１～Ｈ３が、所在情報がなにも抽出されない空の履歴であったときは、訪問情報を生成せず、その送信も行わない。 The server device 10 does not generate visit information and does not transmit it when the histories H1 to H3 are empty histories from which no location information is extracted.
　そして、サーバ装置１０は、当該スポットエリアを訪れた移動体２０に対して生成した訪問情報を送信する（Ｔ５）。 And the server apparatus 10 transmits the visit information produced | generated with respect to the mobile body 20 which visited the said spot area (T5).
　移動体２０に配置されたナビゲーション装置５０は、サーバ装置１０から訪問情報を受信すると、その訪問情報を表示部５７に表示する（Ｔ６）。 When the navigation device 50 arranged in the moving body 20 receives the visit information from the server device 10, the navigation device 50 displays the visit information on the display unit 57 (T6).
　例えば、ナビゲーション装置５０は、訪問情報［個別メンバー］を受信すると、図７（ａ）に一例を示す訪問情報表示画面Ａ１を表示し、訪問情報［グループ］を受信すると、図７（ｂ）に一例を示す訪問情報表示画面Ａ２を表示し、訪問情報［全移動体］を受信すると、図７（ｃ）に一例を示す訪問情報表示画面Ａ３を表示する。本実施例において、ナビゲーション装置５０は、訪問情報表示画面Ａ１～Ａ３のうちの全ての画面を順次表示するものであるが、例えば、ナビゲーション装置５０におけるユーザ設定情報などに基づいて、訪問情報表示画面Ａ１～Ａ３のうちの１つ又は複数を表示するようにしてもよい。 For example, when the navigation apparatus 50 receives the visit information [individual member], the navigation apparatus 50 displays the visit information display screen A1 shown in FIG. 7A, and receives the visit information [group]. When the visit information display screen A2 showing an example is displayed and the visit information [all moving objects] is received, the visit information display screen A3 shown in FIG. 7C is displayed. In this embodiment, the navigation device 50 sequentially displays all of the visit information display screens A1 to A3. For example, based on the user setting information in the navigation device 50, the visit information display screen One or more of A1 to A3 may be displayed.
　以上より、本実施例によれば、サーバ装置１０において、通信部１２が複数の移動体２０、３０、４０に配置されたナビゲーション装置５０のそれぞれの位置及び日時を含む所在情報を取得し、記憶部１６が通信部１２によって取得された所在情報を、それに対応するナビゲーション装置５０に関連づけて累積的に記憶し、制御部１１が、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のうちの一のナビゲーション装置５０（具体的にはそれが配置された移動体）がエリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアを訪れたとき、記憶部１６に記憶された所在情報に基づいて複数のナビゲーション装置５０の少なくとも一部に係る該スポットエリアへの訪問に関する訪問情報を生成するとともに通信部１２が該スポットエリアを訪れた一のナビゲーション装置５０に訪問情報を出力する。そのため、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のうちの一のナビゲーション装置５０がエリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアを訪問したときに、複数のナビゲーション装置５０の少なくとも一部に係る該スポットエリアへの訪問に関する訪問情報を一のナビゲーション装置５０に出力することができ、これにより、訪問したスポットエリアについて効果的に印象深いものとすることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the server device 10, the communication unit 12 acquires and stores location information including the position and date / time of each of the navigation devices 50 arranged in the plurality of mobile bodies 20, 30, 40. The unit 16 cumulatively stores the location information acquired by the communication unit 12 in association with the corresponding navigation device 50, and the control unit 11 selects one navigation device 50 (specifically, among the plurality of navigation devices 50). When the mobile object in which the mobile object is located visits the spot area set in the area database 15, the spot related to at least a part of the plurality of navigation devices 50 based on the location information stored in the storage unit 16 A navigation system that generates visit information related to a visit to the area and that the communication unit 12 has visited the spot area. And it outputs the visit information to down device 50. Therefore, when one navigation device 50 of the plurality of navigation devices 50 visits a spot area set in the area database 15, a visit related to a visit to the spot area related to at least a part of the plurality of navigation devices 50. Information can be output to one navigation device 50, which can effectively make the visited spot area impressive.
　また、制御部１１が、スポットエリアを訪れた一のナビゲーション装置５０における該スポットエリアを訪れた回数を示す情報を含む訪問情報を生成するので、自身における何回目の訪問であるかを認識することができ、そのため、訪問したスポットエリアについてより効果的に印象深いものとすることができる。 Moreover, since the control part 11 produces | generates the visit information containing the information which shows the frequency | count of having visited the spot area in the one navigation apparatus 50 which visited the spot area, it recognizes how many visits it is. Therefore, the visited spot area can be made more effective and impressive.
　また、サーバ装置１０が、複数のナビゲーション装置５０（具体的にはそれが配置された移動体）のそれぞれの所属するグループの情報が記憶されたグループデータベース１４をさらに備え、制御部１１が、記憶部１６に記憶された所在情報及びグループデータベース１４に記憶されたグループの情報に基づいて、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のうちのスポットエリアを訪問した一のナビゲーション装置５０と同一のグループに所属する他のナビゲーション装置５０に係る該スポットエリアへの訪問に関する情報を含む訪問情報を生成するので、例えば、友人関係などの同一グループに所属する他のナビゲーション装置５０について、該他のナビゲーション装置５０がスポットエリアを最後に訪問した日時を認識することができ、そのため、仮に、一のナビゲーション装置５０がスポットエリアを初めて訪れた場合などにおいても、他のナビゲーション装置５０が該スポットエリアをすでに訪れていれば訪問情報が生成及び出力され、そのため、訪問したスポットエリアについてより効果的に印象深いものとすることができる。 In addition, the server device 10 further includes a group database 14 in which information on groups to which each of the plurality of navigation devices 50 (specifically, mobile bodies in which the devices are arranged) belongs is stored, and the control unit 11 stores the information. Based on the location information stored in the unit 16 and the group information stored in the group database 14, other navigation devices 50 belonging to the same group as the one navigation device 50 visiting the spot area among the plurality of navigation devices 50 Since the visit information including the information related to the visit to the spot area related to the navigation device 50 is generated, for example, for the other navigation device 50 belonging to the same group such as a friendship, the other navigation device 50 sets the spot area. Recognize the date and time of the last visit. Even if one navigation device 50 visits the spot area for the first time, if other navigation device 50 has already visited the spot area, the visit information is generated and output. It can be more effective and impressive.
　また、制御部１１が、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のうちの一のナビゲーション装置５０がスポットエリアを訪れたときでかつ複数のナビゲーション装置５０における該スポットエリアを訪れた累積回数が予め定められた特別回数だったとき、該特別回数を示す情報を含む訪問情報を生成するので、例えば、特別回数をきりの良い回数（１０００や２２２２、１２３４５など）として、自身のスポットエリアの訪問がきりの良い累積回数、即ち順番であったときにその順番を含む訪問情報が生成及び出力され、そのため、訪問したスポットエリアについてより効果的に印象深いものとすることができる。 In addition, when the navigation unit 50 of the plurality of navigation devices 50 visits the spot area and the cumulative number of times that the control unit 11 has visited the spot area in the plurality of navigation devices 50 is a predetermined special number. If so, the visit information including the information indicating the special number is generated. For example, the special number is set to a good number (1000, 2222, 12345, etc.), and the number of visits to the spot area is a good cumulative number. That is, when it is an order, visit information including the order is generated and output, so that the visited spot area can be more effectively and impressive.
　また、情報処理システム１が、上述したサーバ装置１０と複数のナビゲーション装置５０とを備え、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のそれぞれが、自身の現在の位置及び日時を含む所在情報をサーバ装置１０に出力する通信部５２と、サーバ装置１０から出力された訪問情報が入力される通信部５２と、通信部５２に入力された訪問情報を利用者に提供する表示部５７と、を少なくとも備えている。このようにすることにより、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のそれぞれが自身の現在の位置及び日時を含む所在情報をサーバ装置１０に出力する。サーバ装置１０が、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のそれぞれの所在情報を取得し、これら所在情報を、それに対応するナビゲーション装置５０に関連づけて累積的に記憶し、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のうちの一のナビゲーション装置５０がエリアデータベース１５に設定されたスポットエリアを訪れたとき、複数のナビゲーション装置５０に対応して記憶された所在情報に基づいて複数のナビゲーション装置５０の少なくとも一部に係る上記スポットエリアへの訪問に関する訪問情報を生成するとともに上記スポットエリアを訪問した一のナビゲーション装置５０に訪問情報を出力する。一のナビゲーション装置５０は、サーバ装置１０から出力された訪問情報が入力され、この訪問情報を利用者に提供する。そのため、複数のナビゲーション装置５０のうちの一のナビゲーション装置がスポットエリアを訪問したときに、複数のナビゲーション装置５０の少なくとも一部に係る該スポットエリアへの訪問に関する訪問情報を一のナビゲーション装置５０に出力して、一のナビゲーション装置５０で提供することができ、これにより、ナビゲーション装置５０の利用者がスポットエリアについての訪問情報を認識することができ、訪問したスポットエリアについて効果的に印象深いものとすることができる。 Further, the information processing system 1 includes the server device 10 and the plurality of navigation devices 50 described above, and each of the plurality of navigation devices 50 outputs location information including its current position and date / time to the server device 10. The communication unit 52 includes at least a communication unit 52 to which the visit information output from the server device 10 is input, and a display unit 57 that provides the visit information input to the communication unit 52 to the user. In this way, each of the plurality of navigation devices 50 outputs location information including its current position and date / time to the server device 10.

　以上、本発明について、好ましい実施例を挙げて説明したが、本発明は上記実施例の構成に限定されるものではない。 Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment.
　例えば、上述した本実施例では、スポットエリアを訪れた移動体が該スポットエリアを訪れた回数やスポットエリアを訪れた移動体と同一グループの他の移動体が該スポットエリアを訪れた回数などを含む訪問情報を生成するものであったが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、スポットエリアを訪れた移動体が同一グループの他の移動体と一緒に該スポットエリアを訪れた日時や、全ての移動体における何番目の訪問（つまり、複数の端末装置におけるスポットエリアを訪れた累積回数）であるかを示す情報などを含む訪問情報を生成してもよい。または、所在情報に含まれる移動体の位置及び日時の情報以外の情報（例えば、各種センサ入力に関する情報などの移動体の状態情報）を端末装置の識別情報に対応させて累積的に記憶部１６記憶しておき、例えば、前回訪問時における移動体の状態情報を訪問情報に含めてもよい。一例として、スポットエリアとして山頂や峠などが設定されている場合において、当該スポットエリアを再度訪れたときに前回訪問時の心拍数など示す情報を訪問情報に含める。このように複数の端末装置の少なくとも一部に係る前記エリアへの訪問に関するものであれば、本発明の目的に反しない限り、訪問情報に含まれる情報は任意である。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, the number of times a mobile body that has visited the spot area has visited the spot area, the number of times other mobile bodies in the same group as the mobile body that has visited the spot area, etc. Although it was what produced visit information including, it is not limited to this. For example, the date and time when a mobile object that visited a spot area visited the spot area together with other mobile objects in the same group, or the number of visits in all the mobile objects (that is, the spot areas in a plurality of terminal devices) Visit information including information indicating whether or not the number of times (the cumulative number of times) is present may be generated. Alternatively, information other than the position and date / time information of the mobile body included in the location information (for example, mobile body status information such as information on various sensor inputs) is accumulated in association with the identification information of the terminal device. For example, the state information of the moving body at the previous visit may be included in the visit information. As an example, in the case where a summit or a mountain pass is set as a spot area, information indicating the heart rate at the previous visit is included in the visit information when the spot area is visited again. Thus, as long as it relates to a visit to the area related to at least a part of a plurality of terminal devices, the information included in the visit information is arbitrary unless it is contrary to the object of the present invention.
　また、本実施例では、各移動体（具体的には、それに配置された端末装置）から受信した所在情報の全てをサーバ装置１０の記憶部１６に累積的に記憶するものであったが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、各移動体から受信した所在情報のうちその位置がエリアデータベース１５に設定されているスポットエリアに含まれるもののみを、記憶部１６に累積的に記憶するものであってもよい。このように、本発明の目的に反しない限り、所在情報のうち少なくともその位置が上記スポットエリアに含まれるものを、それに対応する端末装置に関連づけて累積的に記憶するものであればよい。 In the present embodiment, all the location information received from each mobile unit (specifically, the terminal device arranged on the mobile unit) is cumulatively stored in the storage unit 16 of the server device 10. It is not limited to this. For example, only the location information received from each mobile unit may be stored in the storage unit 16 in a cumulative manner only in the location information included in the spot area set in the area database 15. As described above, as long as the object of the present invention is not violated, it is sufficient if at least the position of the location information is included in the spot area and stored cumulatively in association with the corresponding terminal device.
　また、本実施例では、各移動体から定期的に受信した所在情報をサーバ装置１０の記憶部１６に累積的に記憶するものであったが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、外出などの移動時に、各端末装置において所在情報を順次蓄積しておき、帰宅した際に、インターネットなどの通信網を介して、蓄積した所在情報をサーバ装置１０にアップロードすることによりサーバ装置１０が所在情報を取得して、この所在情報をそれに対応する端末装置に関連づけて累積的記憶部１６に記憶するようにしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the location information periodically received from each mobile unit is stored cumulatively in the storage unit 16 of the server device 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the location information is sequentially accumulated in each terminal device during travel such as going out, and when the user returns home, the accumulated location information is uploaded to the server device 10 via a communication network such as the Internet. 10 may acquire the location information and store the location information in the cumulative storage unit 16 in association with the corresponding terminal device.
　また、本実施例では、サーバ装置１０が各移動体に配置された端末装置から送信される所在情報に基づいて、端末装置がスポットエリアを訪問したか否かを判断するものであったが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、端末装置に無線ＬＡＮなどの近距離無線通信機能を実装するとともに、スポットエリアに、近距離無線通信を用いて端末装置と通信可能でかつインターネットなどの通信網に接続された無線ルーターなどの通信装置を配置する。そして、端末装置がスポットエリアに入ったときにこの通信装置を介してサーバ装置１０と通信することにより、サーバ装置１０において該スポットエリアを訪れたことを判断するようにしてもよい。このように、本発明の目的に反しない限り、端末装置がスポットエリアを訪れたことを判断する方法は任意である。 In the present embodiment, the server device 10 determines whether or not the terminal device has visited the spot area based on the location information transmitted from the terminal device arranged in each mobile body. It is not limited to this. For example, a short-distance wireless communication function such as a wireless LAN is implemented in the terminal device, and a wireless router that can communicate with the terminal device using the short-distance wireless communication in the spot area and connected to a communication network such as the Internet. A communication device is arranged. Then, when the terminal device enters the spot area, it may be determined that the server device 10 has visited the spot area by communicating with the server device 10 via the communication device. As described above, as long as the object of the present invention is not violated, a method for determining that the terminal device has visited the spot area is arbitrary.
　また、本実施例では、一の移動体（具体的にはナビゲーション装置５０）がスポットエリアを訪れたときに、訪問情報を生成して移動体に送信（出力）するものであったが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、周期的（１日毎など）に各移動体のそれぞれがスポットエリアを訪れた回数を算出して、この回数を示す情報を含む訪問情報（「訪問情報［個別メンバー］）を予め生成しておき、この予め生成した訪問情報を一の移動体がスポットエリアを訪れたときに該一の移動体に送信するようにするなど、本発明の目的に反しない限り、訪問情報の生成タイミングは任意である。 Further, in this embodiment, when one mobile body (specifically, the navigation device 50) visits the spot area, the visit information is generated and transmitted (output) to the mobile body. It is not limited to. For example, the number of times each mobile unit visits the spot area periodically (such as every day) is calculated, and visit information (“visit information [individual member]) including information indicating the number of times is generated in advance. In addition, the visit information generation timing is arbitrary as long as it does not violate the purpose of the present invention, such as transmitting the visit information generated in advance to the one mobile body when the one mobile body visits the spot area. It is.
　また、本実施例では、ナビゲーション装置５０に表示する地図データは、ナビゲーション装置５０に格納されているが、ナビゲーション装置５０が、当該地図データをサーバ装置１０または他のサーバ装置等から受信するようにしてもよい。 In this embodiment, the map data to be displayed on the navigation device 50 is stored in the navigation device 50. However, the navigation device 50 receives the map data from the server device 10 or another server device. May be.
　また、本実施例では、訪問情報提供部として表示部５７を示したが、音声出力部５８から音声で訪問情報を含む各情報を提供するようにしてもよい。また、表示部５７と音声出力部５８を併用して画像（文字）と音声で各情報を提供するようにしてもよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the display unit 57 is shown as the visit information providing unit, but each information including the visit information may be provided by voice from the voice output unit 58. In addition, the display unit 57 and the audio output unit 58 may be used together to provide each information with images (characters) and audio.
