The tag ID input unit 1402 is configured such that a user reads and inputs a tag ID from an IC tag held in the form of a card with an IC tag or a mobile phone terminal with an IC tag.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a map distribution instruction receiving process flow of the shopping street terminal. The shopping street terminal 103 first outputs a map distribution instruction acceptance screen by the map distribution instruction input unit 1401 (S1501). The map distribution instruction reception screen is a screen that prompts the user to input a map distribution instruction. The user inputs a map distribution instruction by, for example, pressing a map distribution instruction button on the screen (S1502). In response to this instruction, the (distribution instruction) tag ID input unit 1402 outputs a tag ID reading operation guidance screen (S1503). This screen shows a tag ID reading operation such as holding a card with an IC tag or a mobile phone terminal with an IC tag over a tag reading unit provided in the shopping center floor terminal 103. When the user performs this operation, the (delivery instruction) tag ID input unit 1402 reads the tag ID (S1504). Then, the map distribution request transmission unit 1404 acquires the shopping center terminal ID from the shopping center terminal ID storage unit 1403 (S1505), and sends a map distribution request including the tag ID and the shopping center terminal ID to the map distribution server 101. Transmit (S1506). Steps after S1507 will be described later.

  Next, the operation of the map distribution server 101 that has received the map distribution request will be described. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a guidance map distribution processing flow. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the guidance map distribution unit. The guide map distribution unit 705 includes a current position specifying unit 1701, a parking position specifying unit 1702, a map area determining unit 1703, a shopping street map generating unit 1704, a map database 1705, a guide map generating unit 1706, and a guide map transmitting unit 1707. is doing. The map database 1705 is a database that provides a map of a shopping street, and outputs a shopping street map of the designated map area, or displays a shopping street map corresponding to the designated center and display reduction ratio (display magnification). It is configured to output.

  First, the map distribution request received by the map distribution request receiving unit 704 is acquired (S1601), and the current position specifying process by the current position specifying unit 1701 (S1602 in FIG. 16) is performed. In this process, the current position in the user's shopping street is specified.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a current position specifying process flow. The shopping mall terminal ID included in the map distribution request is read (S1801), and the shopping mall terminal installation position corresponding to this shopping mall terminal ID is acquired from the shopping mall terminal table 707 and is set as the current position (S1802). ).

  Next, a parking position specifying process (S1603 in FIG. 16) is performed by the parking position specifying unit 1702. In this process, the position where the user parked is specified.

FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a parking position specifying process flow. The tag ID included in the map distribution request is read (S1901), and the parking lot floor terminal ID corresponding to the tag ID is acquired from the parking position management table 703 (S1902). When a plurality of the same tag IDs are registered, the parking lot floor terminal ID is acquired from the new record of the registration date and time. And the parking lot floor terminal installation position corresponding to the parking lot floor terminal ID is acquired from the parking lot floor terminal table 706, and it is set as the parking position (S1903).
Next, a map area determination process (S1604 in FIG. 16) is performed by the map area determination unit 1703. In this process, the area of the guidance map displayed on the shopping mall floor terminal 103 is determined. Since the guide map is generated based on the shopping street map, this area can be said to be information for specifying a part of the shopping street map.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a map area determination processing flow. First, an intermediate position between the current position and the parking position is calculated (S2001). Specifically, the X coordinate of the current position and the X coordinate of the parking position are added, and the X coordinate of the intermediate position is obtained by dividing by 2, and the Y coordinate of the current position and the Y coordinate of the parking position are added. The Y coordinate of the intermediate position is obtained by dividing. Next, the following processing is repeated in descending order with respect to a predetermined displayable reduction ratio (for example, a reduction ratio of the actual size to the display size of the guidance map) (S2002). A region serving as a display frame is calculated with the reduction ratio centered on the intermediate position (S2003). Specifically, the length in the X coordinate direction and the length in the Y coordinate direction of the area that becomes the predetermined display frame at the reduction ratio are calculated, and the X coordinate of the intermediate position− (length in the X coordinate direction / 2) is calculated. Intermediate position X coordinate + (length in X coordinate direction / 2) and intermediate position Y coordinate-(length in Y coordinate direction / 2) to intermediate position Y coordinate + (length in Y coordinate direction / 2) ) Is obtained. Next, it is determined whether the current position and the parking position are included in the area (S2004). If both are included in the area, the area is set as a map area (S2005). The map area may be specified by the display reduction ratio and the intermediate position, using the reduction ratio as the display reduction ratio.

  Instead of the reduction ratio, a magnification may be used. For example, it is the rate at which the size in the original shopping street map as a reference is expanded to the size in the guide map.

  In this example, an operation was performed so as to select an area where the map contents can be displayed most magnified from a part of the shopping street map including the current position and the parking position. However, it is effective if a part of the shopping street map including at least the current position and the parking position can be selected. For example, a process of setting a plurality of candidate areas in advance and simply selecting a candidate area including the current position and the parking position from the candidate areas may be performed.

  Next, a shopping street map generation process (S1605 in FIG. 16) by the shopping street map generation unit 1704 is performed. In this process, a shopping street map specified by the map area is generated.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a shopping street map generation processing flow. A map area is designated and a shopping street map is acquired from the map database 1705 (S2101). The shopping mall map may be acquired from the map database by designating the intermediate position as the center and further designating the display reduction ratio.

  Next, a guidance map generation unit 1706 generates a guidance map. Specifically, the current location and the parking location are combined with the shopping street map to obtain a guidance map (S1606 in FIG. 16). The parking position is originally a position of another floor, but is combined as a position corresponding to the vertical direction.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of a guidance map. In the figure, a map area 2201, a current position mark 2202, and a mark 2203 at a position corresponding to a direction perpendicular to the parking position are indicated by reference numerals. The guide map is an image within the frame 2201. It should be noted that the display of the store name of the store in the base shopping street map is effective for grasping the positional relationship of the guide map and for an advertising function.

Then, the guide map transmission unit 1707 returns the guide map to the shopping center floor terminal (S1607 in FIG. 16).
In the shopping street terminal 103, as shown in FIG. 15, the guide map receiving unit 1405 receives the guide map from the map distribution server (S1507), and the guide map display unit 1406 displays the guide map (S1508).

  This embodiment is effective when the shopping mall floor and the parking lot floor are in the basement and communication with a mobile phone terminal is impossible. It is also effective in eliminating the need for a mobile phone terminal.
