FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the control process according to the second embodiment. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing according to the fourth embodiment.
[0037]
In the control processing according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, first, when the normal telephone mode is set to the map display mode by the display mode switching setting means 10 (S1-1), the GPS receiving unit 2 performs the first time. Latitude / longitude information is received (S1-2), and the latitude / longitude information is temporarily stored in the RAM 8 (S1-3).
[0038]
Then, the received latitude / longitude information is transmitted to the map information server 27 by the browser function of the mobile phone, a map image of the current position is received as a response, and the map is displayed on the LCD (S1-4), and the GPS receiver 2 The next latitude / longitude information is received (S1-5).
[0039]
Subsequently, it is determined whether the latitude / longitude information received this time matches the previous latitude / longitude information temporarily stored (S1-6). If the latitude and longitude information does not match, the map display of the current position is updated by the procedure of step S1-3 (S1-7), and the previously stored latitude and longitude information and the current time are updated. Based on the received latitude / longitude information, the moving direction is calculated (S1-8), and the current latitude / longitude information is temporarily stored (overwritten on the previous information) (S1-9).
[0040]
Then, the movement direction display means 18 instructs the numeric key independent lighting control means 16 to turn on the LED of the corresponding numeric key (S1-10), and the numeric key independent lighting control means 16 incorporates the numeric key in the numeric key. The LED is turned on (S1-11), and the process returns to step 5 (S1-5) again.
[0041]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1-6 that the latitude and longitude information match, the moving direction display means 18 instructs the numeric key independent lighting control means 16 to turn off the LED (S1-12), and the numeric key. The LED is turned off by the independent lighting control means 16 (S1-13), and the process returns to step S1-5 again.
[0042]

That is, in the control process according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the processes of step S2-1 to step S2-9 are the same as the processes of step S1-1 to step S1-9 in the control process according to the first embodiment. Substantially the same processing is performed, except that the numerical key independent vibration control means 17 is used instead of the numerical key independent lighting control means 16 used in the control processing according to the first embodiment.
Therefore, in the second embodiment, only a part different from the control process according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0044]
Subsequent to step S2-9, the movement direction display means 18 commands the numeric key independent vibration control means 17 to vibrate the corresponding key (S2-10), and the numeric key independent vibration control means 17 uses the numeric key. Is vibrated (S2-10), and the process returns to step S2-5 again.
[0045]
If it is determined in step S2-6 that the latitude and longitude information match, the movement direction display means 18 instructs the numeric key independent vibration control means 17 to stop vibration (S2-12). Then, the vibration is stopped by the numeric key independent vibration control means 17 (S2-13), and the process returns to step S2-5 again.
[0046]
As described above, according to the second embodiment, when the map display mode is set, a map image of the current position can be received by the browser function and displayed on the LCD, and the moving direction can be determined by the latitude and longitude information. Since the direction of movement can be confirmed by calculating and vibrating the numeric keys corresponding to the direction of movement, the direction of the destination can be notified to the terminal user. Furthermore, it is possible to notify that the destination has been reached by changing the numeric key from the vibration state to the stop state.
[0047]
Next, Example 3 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the control processing according to the third embodiment, when the normal telephone mode is set to the map display mode by the display mode switching setting unit 10 (S3-1), the key input control unit 14 is set. Thus, input detection of the numeric keys “1” to “3”, “4”, “6”, “7” to “9” is performed (S3-2). Then, it is determined whether or not there is an input (S3-3). If there is no input, the process returns to step S3-2.
[0048]
On the other hand, if there is an input, the browser connection is made by the one-touch moving direction peripheral information acquisition means 22, and peripheral information such as facilities and stores existing in the direction corresponding to the input numeric keys is received from the peripheral information providing server 28. Then, the obtained peripheral information is displayed as a list on the LCD (S3-5). Subsequently, when the user performs a selection operation on the peripheral information list displayed on the LCD, the selection operation is detected (S3-6), navigation is started, and the LCD is operated until the selected destination is reached. A map is displayed (S3-7).
[0049]
As described above, according to the third embodiment, when the map display mode is set, peripheral information such as facilities and stores existing in the direction corresponding to the numeric keys is displayed on the LCD and selected. By simply navigating to reach the selected destination, it is possible to easily reach the destination.
[0050]
Next, Example 4 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10, in the control process according to the fourth embodiment, when the display mode switching setting unit 10 first sets the normal phone mode to the map display mode (S4-1), the mobile phone user's control process is performed. The navigation to the destination is started with the operation as a trigger (S4-2). Then, the latitude / longitude information is received from the GPS receiver 2 (S4-3), and the distance to the destination is calculated based on the latitude / longitude information of the current position and the latitude / longitude information of the destination (S4-4). .
[0051]
Subsequently, the destination approach display means 19 instructs the numeric key independent lighting control means 16 to switch the LED display color of the key corresponding to the moving direction step by step according to the distance to the destination ( S4-5) Return to step S4-3 again.
[0052]
As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, when the map display mode is set, a map image of the current position can be received and displayed on the LCD by the browser function, and the latitude and longitude information of the current position can be displayed. Based on the latitude and longitude information of the destination, it is possible to easily notify the sense of distance and direction to the destination by turning on the LED of the numeric key corresponding to the moving direction in a stepwise manner according to the distance to the destination.
