  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of a navigation data distribution system to which the present invention is applied.

  The broadcast station 1 broadcasts a broadcast program such as a travel program via the antenna 2. At that time, the broadcasting station 1 holds an associated HP (Home Page) of a place introduced in the broadcast program in vertical blanking (vertical blanking period) of the broadcast signal for broadcasting the broadcast program. Broadcast with a URI (Universal Resource Identifier) indicating the server address.

  The HDD recorder 4 receives a program broadcast from the antenna 2 of the broadcasting station 1 through the antenna 3, converts it into a predetermined signal, displays it on the television receiver 6, and includes a built-in HDD (Hard Disc Drive). To record. The HDD recorder 4 records broadcast time information and channel information as marking information based on a signal generated by operating the remote controller 5 when the user wants to mark.

  The HDD recorder 4 displays a thumbnail image of the program recorded on the HDD based on the marking information, and when selected by the remote controller 5, plays the program at the corresponding broadcast time or the corresponding broadcast time. Reads the URI synthesized for vertical blanking, etc., downloads the HP information stored in the server (not shown) at the URI address and displays it on the television receiver 6 via the Internet 7. To do. When the displayed HP information is operated by the remote controller 5, the HDD recorder 4 downloads and displays the corresponding information from a server (not shown) via the Internet 7.

  As described above, for example, if the broadcast program is a travel program or the like, the broadcast program itself is recorded at the timing when the broadcast program is broadcast or when the recorded program is reproduced after recording the broadcast program. In a scene where the user is interested (in a scene where the user wants to go to a place where he / she wants to go), the user operates the remote controller 5 to compose the URI corresponding to the broadcast time of the broadcast program. Based on this, it is possible to access a server (not shown) and download and display the related HP. Furthermore, when the remote controller 5 is operated, it is possible to record the marking information as marking information when the remote controller 5 is to be incorporated into a point in the navigation data by a process described later.

  Further, the HDD recorder 4 causes the program linked Web server 8 to transmit the marking information generated as described above. Then, the HDD recorder 4 receives the generated navigation data by the program linked Web server 8 based on the transmitted marking information. Further, the HDD recorder 4 records the navigation data transmitted from the program linked Web server 8 in the removable medium 9 in this way.

In addition to the broadcast time and channel information on which marking has been performed, the marking information acquisition unit 242 includes user additional information added to the marking information, that is, information on the constraint conditions specified by the user in generating the navigation data. Is supplied to the personalized navigation information generation unit 241.

  The search engine 243 searches the program scene information DB 244 for information corresponding to the broadcast program scene from the supplied broadcast time and channel information, in association with the URI, reads out the information, and supplies the retrieved information to the browser unit 245. . In the program scene information DB 244, an image (including audio information) corresponding to each scene of a program broadcast in a broadcast program and a URI synthesized with vertical blanking at the time of broadcasting are associated and recorded as a database. Has been.

  That is, for example, when the broadcast program is a travel program or the like, the search engine 243 displays the scene at the timing marked by the user while viewing the broadcast program and the HP URI related to the place introduced in the broadcast program. It is read from the scene information DB 244 and supplied to the browser unit 245.

  The browser unit 245 reads the URI supplied from the search engine 243, accesses the read URI, downloads a predetermined HP from a server (not shown), and supplies the download result to the extraction unit 246.

  The extraction unit 246 extracts information constituting a predetermined HP supplied from the browser unit 245, that is, information indicating a position such as an address and a telephone number from text information, for example, and supplies the extracted information to the position information generation unit 247. . More specifically, the information indicating the position by the extraction unit 246 may be obtained by, for example, extracting and displaying text characters, allowing the user to select, or using a search function. For example, when extracting a character string of an address by the search function, the extraction unit 246 searches for a keyword indicating an address such as “prefecture”, “prefecture”, “city”, “town”, and the character string before and after this Is determined to be an address and extracted.

  Further, the extraction unit 246 searches for a keyword such as “telephone” or “TEL” using the character string of the telephone number, and determines that the subsequent character string is a telephone number and extracts it. Further, the extraction unit 246 searches for a numeric string having a specific pattern such as “03-” or “048-”, and determines that it is a telephone number and extracts it.

  The position information generation unit 247 uses the information indicating the position such as an address and a telephone number supplied from the extraction unit 246 to retrieve the corresponding latitude and longitude information from the position database 248 and read out the position information. It is generated and supplied to the personalized navigation information generation unit 241. That is, the location database 248 stores a database in which addresses and telephone numbers correspond to location information consisting of latitude and longitude. Therefore, the position information generation unit 247 searches for position information including the corresponding latitude and longitude based on the address and telephone number supplied from the extraction unit 246, and the searched position information is stored in the personalized navigation information generation unit 241. Supply.

  Based on the broadcast time marked from the navigation data DB 232, the personalized navigation information generation unit 241 determines the time (broadcast date) that the broadcast program was broadcast, and reads the corresponding basic navigation information 233 for the program. Furthermore, the filter processing unit 241a of the personalized navigation information generation unit 241 determines the points existing in each section included in the read program basic navigation information 233 according to the constraint condition based on the user addition condition added to the marking information. Perform filtering processing. In addition, the information adding unit 241b of the personalized navigation information generating unit 241 determines whether or not the point history information database 249 includes points in the vicinity of each point included in the plurality of sections set by the filtered information. If the point of the personalized navigation information that has been searched and is generated in the past is near the point of the navigation information that is currently generated, this is added as the point of the personalized navigation information.

  That is, in the point history information database 249, navigation information generated in the past for each user is stored as history points 261-1 to 261-m in association with position information (latitude and longitude). Therefore, the information adding unit 241b of the personalized navigation information generating unit 241 compares each position of the point of the personalized navigation information currently being generated with each position of the history points 261-1 to 261-m, and within a predetermined distance range. If a search is made for an item existing in the list, it is added as a new point to the personalized navigation information currently being generated.

  Further, the information adding unit 241b of the personalized navigation information generating unit 241 determines whether or not there is an affiliated store that provides a coupon in the vicinity of the point included in the personalized navigation information that is filtered and further added with the history points. When there is an affiliated store that searches for information recorded in the store information (coupon information) DB 250 and provides coupon information, the location of the store is added as a point of navigation information, and coupon information is also added.

  Further, the information adding unit 241b of the personalized navigation information generating unit 241 adds the position information extracted based on the marking information supplied from the position information generating unit 247 as a point to the navigation information.

  Finally, the personalized navigation information generation unit 241 executes route guidance that is recognizable by the car navigation device 11 and that matches the user's interests and preferences based on the navigation information generated by these processes. Data, i.e. personalized navigation data, is generated.

  That is, the personalized navigation information generation unit 241 performs filtering based on restriction conditions, addition of history points, addition of store and coupon information based on partner store information, and marking information based on basic navigation information for programs based on broadcast programs. The navigation data is generated by selectively extracting points that match the interests and preferences of the user who watched the broadcast program by adding the information of the searched points.

  Next, functions realized by the car navigation device 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 281 controls the entire operation of the car navigation device 11.

  The operation unit 282 corresponds to the input unit 116 of FIG. 4 and is operated when a user inputs a command for instructing a desired operation to the car navigation apparatus 11 and generates a signal corresponding to the operation content. This is supplied to the control unit 281.

  The drive 289 is controlled by the control unit 281, and when the removable medium 9 is loaded, the recorded information is read and supplied to the control unit 281. If navigation data is recorded on the removable medium 9 by the HDD recorder 4, the drive 289 reads out the navigation data and supplies it to the control unit 281. The control unit 281 supplies the supplied navigation data to the car navigation image generation unit 283.

  The car navigation image generation unit 283 generates a car navigation image based on the navigation data supplied from the control unit 281, the vehicle speed signal supplied from the vehicle speed detection unit 121, the position information supplied from the GPS 120, and the map data 284. Generate and display on the display unit 290.

  The communication unit 285 is controlled by the control unit 281 and accesses the program-linked web server 8 and the settlement server 12 via a network such as the Internet 7 to exchange various data.

  The authentication processing unit 286 and the user additional information generation unit 287 are the same as the authentication processing unit 203 and the user additional information generation unit 204 of FIG. That is, the car navigation device 11 can also access the program-linked web server 8 and request the generation of navigation data in the same manner as the HDD recorder 4. However, in this case, the navigation data is generated by adding the restriction condition based on the user additional information to the navigation data recorded on the removable medium 9. Accordingly, the settlement processing that occurs when generating the navigation data is performed by the IC card 10 mounted on the card reader 288.

  Next, the configuration of the settlement server 12 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 311 controls the overall operation of the settlement server 12. The communication unit 313 is controlled by the control unit 311 and accesses the HDD recorder 4, the program linked Web server 8, the store terminal 13, and the like via a network such as the Internet 7, and exchanges various data.

  The authentication processing unit 312 executes authentication processing with a device that requests payment (a user who operates the device) when executing payment processing for a fee that is a price for the service. If the authentication is approved, the control unit 311 updates the information of the user's credit card and bank account recorded in the payment information database 314, and executes the payment process.

  Next, functions realized by the store terminal 13 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 331 of the store terminal 13 controls the overall operation of the store terminal 13.

  The operation unit 332 corresponds to the input unit 76, and when the IC card 10 is used for the payment processing of the charge when the user receives purchase of goods or provision of services, the employee of the store, etc. To be operated.

  The control unit card reader 336 is controlled by the control unit 311, reads out the data recorded on the mounted IC card 10 and supplies it to the control unit 331, and supplies the data designated by the control unit 331 to the IC card 10. Record. The authentication processing unit 333 performs the authentication process with the payment server 12 via the communication unit 334, then executes the payment process, and records the processing result of the payment process in the IC card 10. Furthermore, the display unit 335 displays the processing result of the settlement process.

  Further, the drive 337 is controlled by the control unit 331, reads data recorded on the mounted removable medium 9, supplies the data to the control unit 331, and records data designated by the control unit 331 on the removable medium 9. To do.

  Next, program transmission / reception processing by the broadcast station 1 and the HDD recorder 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the following explanation, it is assumed that the broadcast program is a travel program, and a server (not shown) on which information such as HP related to so-called points such as locations introduced in the travel program is recorded is designated by URI. It is assumed that it exists at an address on the Internet 7 to be used.

  In step S1, the broadcast station 1 reads program information. That is, the broadcast station 1 reads program information composed of image data and audio data constituting a program.

  In step S2, the broadcast station 1 synthesizes URI information with vertical blanking when transmitting the read program information.

  In step S3, the broadcast station 1 broadcasts a broadcast program whose URI is included in the vertical blanking via the antenna 2.

  In step S11, the HDD recorder 4 receives a program. That is, the control unit 201 sets the tuner 210 so that it can receive radio waves having a frequency corresponding to the set channel by operating the remote controller 5, and program information broadcast from the broadcast station 1 by the tuner 210. Is received via the antenna 3, the received broadcast signal is converted into a predetermined image signal, displayed on the television receiver 6 via the output unit 211, and supplied to the image recording unit 212.

  In step S <b> 12, the image recording unit 212 records the broadcast program supplied from the tuner 210.

  In step S <b> 13, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the remote controller 5 is operated and a signal instructing marking is received by the light receiving unit 207. For example, while watching a place introduced by a travel program displayed on the television receiver 6, a scene that the user is interested in or a scene that the user wants to incorporate into the navigation data point is displayed. When the report controller 5 is operated at the specified timing to instruct marking, it is determined that marking has been instructed, and the processing proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, the control unit 201 controls the marking information recording unit 208 to update the marking information. More specifically, the marking information recording unit 208 records the time information output from the RTC 209 as the broadcast time at the time when the marking is instructed based on the instruction from the control unit 201, and further, together with the channel information. Marking information is generated and stored.

  In step S15, the control unit 201 controls the tuner 210 to determine whether or not the broadcast has ended. If it is determined that the broadcast has not ended, the process returns to step S11, and the subsequent steps The process is repeated.

  In step S4, the broadcast station 1 determines whether or not the broadcast is finished. If the broadcast is not finished, the process returns to step S1 and the subsequent processes are repeated. If it is determined in step S4 that the broadcast has ended, the broadcast program transmission process by the broadcast station 1 ends.

  Similarly, in step S15, since it is determined that the broadcast has ended, the broadcast program receiving process by the HDD recorder 4 is ended.

  If it is determined in step S13 that marking is not instructed, the process in step S14 is skipped. That is, the marking information is not updated.

  Through the above processing, the broadcast time and channel information at which a scene in which the user is interested while watching the program while the broadcast program is being broadcast is accumulated, and marking information is generated. In the above example, the case where the broadcast program is being broadcast has been described. However, in step S12, the recorded broadcast program is reproduced at a time different from the time when the broadcast program is broadcast, Marking information may be generated by repeating the processes of steps S13 and S14. Further, the marking information may be repeatedly updated while watching the recorded broadcast program again in the marking information generated during the broadcast of the broadcast program or while reproducing the recorded broadcast program. At this time, it goes without saying that the marking once set may be deleted.

  Next, the personalized navigation data generation service process (personalized navigation data generation service process) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S51, the control unit 201 controls the drive 205 to mount the removable medium 9 on which marking information is recorded, and further requests the light receiving unit 207 to generate personalized navigation data (personalized navigation data). It is determined whether or not a signal is received, and the removable media 9 is mounted on the drive 205, and processing is performed until it is requested to generate personalized navigation data (personalized navigation data (according to user interests and preferences)). repeat.

  For example, when the removable medium 9 on which the marking information is recorded is loaded in the drive 205 and the remote controller 5 is operated, the process proceeds to step S52.

  In step S <b> 52, the control unit 201 controls the drive 205 to read the marking information recorded on the mounted removable medium 9. Further, the control unit 201 controls the image recording unit 212 based on the marking information, generates a thumbnail image composed of images corresponding to the broadcasting time, outputs the thumbnail image from the output unit 211, and displays the thumbnail image on the television receiver 6. Let

  In step S53, the control unit 201 makes an inquiry to the light receiving unit 207, and determines whether or not the remote controller 5 has been operated to change the marking information. In step S53, for example, when it is determined that the marking information has been changed, that is, when the marking information displayed as a thumbnail image is deleted or added, in step S54, the control unit 201 displays the marking information. The recording unit 208 is controlled to update the marking information recorded on the removable medium 9, that is, the broadcast time and channel information of the broadcast program at the marked timing.

  On the other hand, if the marking is not changed in step S53, the process of step S54 is skipped.

  In step S55, the control unit 201 controls the light receiving unit 207 to determine whether or not the remote controller 5 is operated and the constraint condition based on the user additional information is input. For example, the control unit 201 determines whether or not a constraint condition including user additional information such as departure and destination information, schedule information such as departure date and arrival date and time (or morning, noon, night, and midnight) is input separately. Determine.

  If it is determined in step S55 that the constraint condition has been input, in step S56, the control unit 201 controls the user additional information generation unit 204 to input the constraint condition input by operating the remote controller 5. The user additional information is generated and added to the marking information recorded on the removable medium 9.

  On the other hand, when the constraint condition, that is, the user additional information is not input in step S55, the process of step S56 is skipped.

  In step S57, the control unit 201 controls the light receiving unit 207 to determine whether or not the remote controller 5 has been operated to instruct confirmation of the marking information. If confirmation has not been instructed, the process is as follows. Returning to step S53, the processes in steps S53 to S57 are repeated until confirmation is instructed.

  If it is determined in step S57 that the remote controller 5 has been operated and the marking information has been confirmed, in step S58, the control unit 201 controls the communication unit 202 to send the marking information to the program-linked web server 8. And requesting the generation of personalized navigation data.

  In step S71, the control unit 231 of the program-linked Web server 8 controls the communication unit 234 to determine whether or not the HDD recorder 4 has requested generation of personalized navigation data, and repeats the process until requested. . For example, when the generation of personalized navigation data is requested by the process of step S57, the process proceeds to step S72.

  In step S <b> 72, the control unit 231 controls the communication unit 234 to acquire marking information transmitted from the HDD recorder 4. In step S <b> 73, the control unit 231 controls the communication unit 234 to request the HDD recorder 4 to settle the usage fee together with information on the fee related to the personalized navigation data generation service.

  In step S <b> 59, the control unit 201 of the HDD recorder 4 executes a settlement process on the settlement server 12 based on a settlement process request via the communication unit 202.

  Here, the payment process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 81, the control unit 201 of the HDD recorder 4 controls the communication unit 202 to request the settlement server 12 to perform a usage fee settlement process for generating personalized navigation data. At this time, the control unit 201 controls the card reader 206 to transmit the IC card ID and user information together to the settlement server 12.

  In step S111, the control unit 311 of the payment server 12 controls the communication unit 313 to determine whether or not a payment process is requested, and repeats the process until the payment process is requested. For example, when the payment processing for the charge related to the personalized navigation data generation service is requested by the processing in step S81, the control unit 311 controls the authentication processing unit 312 and transmits it together with the payment processing request in step S112. A random number Ra is generated based on the ID and user information of the IC card.

  In step S113, the control unit 311 controls the authentication processing unit 312 to encrypt the random number Ra with the user's public key Pb (Pb (Ra)). In step S <b> 114, the control unit 311 controls the communication unit 313 to transmit the encrypted random number Pb (Ra) to the HDD recorder 4.

  In step S82, the control unit 201 of the HDD recorder 4 controls the communication unit 202 to determine whether or not the encrypted random number Pb (Ra) has been transmitted, and repeats the process until it is transmitted. . For example, when an encrypted random number Pb (Ra) is transmitted by the process of step S114, the transmitted encrypted random number Pb (Ra) is received in step S83.

  In step S84, the control unit 201 reads out the secret key Sb recorded on the IC card 10, supplies it to the authentication processing unit 203, and uses the transmitted encrypted random number Pb (Ra) as its own secret key. Decrypt Sb (Pb (Ra)) with Sb. That is, at this stage, if the public key of the HDD recorder 4 used for encryption of the random number Ra corresponds to the private key Sb used for decryption, the random number Sb (Pb (Ra)) decrypted with its own private key. ) Has returned to the original random number Ra.

  In step S85, the control unit 201 controls the authentication processing unit 203 to encrypt the random number Sb (Pb (Ra)) decrypted with its own private key with the public key Pa of the settlement server 12 (Sb (Pb ( Ra))).

  In step S <b> 86, the control unit 201 controls the communication unit 202 to transmit the random number Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) encrypted with the public key Pa of the payment server 12 to the payment server 12.

  In step S115, the control unit 231 controls the communication unit 234 to determine whether or not a random number Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) encrypted with the public key Pa of the settlement server 12 has been transmitted. The process is repeated until it is transmitted. For example, when the random number Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) encrypted with the public key Pa of the settlement server 12 is transmitted by the process of step S86, the process proceeds to step S116.

  In step S116, the control unit 311 controls the communication unit 313 to receive the transmitted random number Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) encrypted with the public key Pa of the settlement server 12. In step S117, the control unit 311 controls the authentication processing unit 312 to use the transmitted random number Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) encrypted with the public key Pa of the settlement server 12 as its private key. Decode Sa (Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra)))) with Sa.

  In step S118, the control unit 311 controls the authentication processing unit 312 to generate the random number Ra generated in step S112 and the random number Sa (Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) decrypted with its own secret key Sa. ) Match. That is, as described above, if the random number Sb (Pb (Ra)) decrypted with its own private key has returned to the original random number Ra at the stage of the process of step S84, it is encrypted with the public key of the settlement server 12. The randomized Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra))) converted into the random number should be Pa (Ra). Furthermore, if the public key Pa and the private key Sa of the settlement server 12 correspond, the random number decrypted by the decryption key Sa of the settlement server 12 has returned to the original random number Ra, and as a result authentication Is correct, that is, it is recognized that the user possesses the regular IC card 10.

  Therefore, in step S118, if the random number Ra generated in the process of step S112 matches the random number Sa (Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra)))) decrypted with its own private key, it is considered that authentication has been established. In step S119, the control unit 311 updates the information in the settlement information database 314, and the fee of the personalized navigation data generation service is used to generate personalized navigation data from the user's credit card account or bank account. Withdraw.

  In step S120, the control unit 311 controls the communication unit 313 to cause the HDD recorder 4 to transmit a payment OK notification indicating that the payment process has been completed, and the process returns to step S111.

  On the other hand, if the random number Ra generated in step S112 does not match the random number Sa (Pa (Sb (Pb (Ra)))) decrypted with its own secret key in step S118, the IC card 10 is authentic. In step S121, the control unit 311 cancels the payment process and controls the communication unit 313 to indicate that the payment NG indicating that the payment process has not been completed. The notification is notified to the HDD recorder 4, and the processing returns to step S111.

  In step S87, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the settlement result has been transmitted from the settlement server 12. For example, when the settlement result has been transmitted by the processing in steps S120 and S121, the processing is performed in step S88. Proceed to

  In step S88, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the transmitted settlement result is a settlement OK, that is, a notification indicating that the settlement process is completed. When it is notified that the process is completed, in step S89, the control unit 201 controls the communication unit 202 to acquire a payment OK notification indicating completion of the payment process.

  On the other hand, if a payment NG notification indicating that the payment processing has not been completed is transmitted by the processing in step S121, a payment NG notification is acquired in step 90.

  With the above processing, a user who has a legitimate IC card 10 is authenticated, and only when the user is a legitimate IC card, the usage fee settlement processing for the service is executed. Note that the payment OK notification here may be notified by, for example, inserting a digital watermark or the like indicating that the payment is normally issued by the payment server 12, for example.

  Now, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 60, the control unit 201 controls the communication unit 202 and transmits the processing result of the above-described payment processing to the program-linked web server 8.

  In step S74, the control unit 231 of the program linked web server 8 controls the communication unit 234 to determine whether or not the settlement processing result transmitted from the HDD recorder 4 is settlement OK. For example, if a payment OK notification is received by the process of step S89 in the flowchart of FIG. 13, in step S75, the control unit 231 supplies the acquired marking information to the personalization engine 8a and generates personalized navigation data. Execute the process.

  Here, the personalized navigation data generation process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S131, the marking information acquisition unit 242 acquires the marking information supplied from the HDD recorder 4, recognizes the acquired marking information, and supplies the search engine 243 with information on the broadcast time and channel on which the marking was performed. . In addition to the broadcast time and channel information on which marking has been performed, the marking information acquisition unit 242 includes user additional information added to the marking information, that is, information on the constraint conditions specified by the user in generating the navigation data. Is supplied to the personalized navigation information generation unit 241.

  In step S132, the personalized navigation information generation unit 241 selects the basic navigation information corresponding to the broadcast time and channel information for which marking has been performed among the basic navigation information for programs 233-1 to 233-o stored in the navigation data DB 232. Data 233 is acquired.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 14, the structure of the basic navigation information for programs 233 will be described.

  The basic navigation information for program 233 includes route information including start point information 401, branch information 402-1 to 402-n, end point information 403, and section information 404-1 to 404- (n + 1), and positions along the route. Is composed of route information 405 including point information 406-1 to 406-k.

  The route information is information from the starting point to the ending point through a plurality of branches, and is information for causing the car navigation device 11 to actually guide the route guided by each broadcast program. The starting point information 401 includes information on the latitude and longitude of the starting position, the target object of the starting position, and travel guidance information when traveling at the starting position.

  Since the branch information 402-1 to 402-n and the end point information 403 have the same configuration as the start point information, description thereof is omitted. Further, section information 404-1 to 404- (n + 1) are recorded between the start point and branch, the branch and branch, and the branch and end point. In the section information 404, route information, section start point, section end point, previous section, and next section information are recorded.

  Each point 406 of the route information 405 records latitude and longitude, information indicating the position of the point, name of the point, section information for identifying the section 404 where the point exists, and additional information. The additional information here is a classification item of constraint information, for example, information such as date and purpose.

  The basic navigation information 233 for programs is basically provided with starting point information 401, branch information 402-1 to 402-n, and end point information 403 so as to be in the order guided by the broadcast program. Therefore, if no restriction condition is specified by the user, the basic navigation information for program 233 is generated as it is as personalized navigation data.

  Further, the points 406-1 to 406-k of the route information 405 are information on positions existing on the route, and when the car navigation device 11 reads the generated navigation data and performs route guidance, the points 406-1 to 406-k are points. It is information that is guided when approaching the vicinity of.

  Now, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S133, the filter processing unit 241a determines whether user additional information, that is, a constraint condition is added to the marking information. For example, if it is determined that user additional information, that is, a constraint condition is added, in step S134, the filter processing unit 241a executes a filtering process.

  Here, the filtering process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S161, the filter processing unit 241a selects unprocessed section information from the basic navigation information for programs.

  In step S162, the filter processing unit 241a determines whether or not the selected section satisfies a constraint condition. That is, since the starting point and the ending point may be set in the constraint condition, it is determined whether or not the selected section information satisfies the constraint condition. That is, in the basic navigation information for programs, the starting point is the starting point information 401 and the ending point is the position set by the ending point information 403. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the branch 402-2 is set as the starting point. When the constraint condition is set so that the branch 402- (n−1) is set as the end point, the section information 404-1, 404-n, 404- (n + 1) does not satisfy the constraint condition. . Therefore, in such a case, the process is not performed, and the process proceeds to step S169.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S162 that the selected section information satisfies the constraint condition, in step S163, the filter processing unit 241a selects an unprocessed point in the selected section. That is, the filter processing unit 241a selects one point 406 out of the points 406 corresponding to the currently selected section based on the section information of each point in the route information 405.

  In step S164, the filter processing unit 241a reads the additional information of the selected point 406 and determines whether or not the constraint condition is satisfied. That is, as a constraint condition, for example, when “couple” is specified as the purpose, it is determined whether or not the target item of the additional information included in the point 406 is “couple” and satisfies them. The process proceeds to step S165.

  In step S165, the filter processing unit 241a registers the selected point 406 as a point of personalized navigation information.

  In step S164, if the additional information of the selected point does not satisfy the constraint condition, it is considered that the information is not desired by the user, and the selected point 406 is deleted from the personalized navigation information.

  In step S166, the filter processing unit 241a determines whether or not there is an unprocessed point in the selected section. If it is determined that there is an unprocessed point, the process returns to step S164. . That is, as long as there are unprocessed points, the processes in steps S164 to S166 are repeated. If it is determined in step S166 that there are no unprocessed points in the selected section, the process proceeds to step S167.

  In step S167, the filter processing unit 241a determines whether or not there is a point selected as the personalized navigation information even at one place in the selected section. For example, at least one or more places in the selected section. If there is a point selected as the personalized navigation information, in step S168, the filter processing unit 241a registers the selected section information in the personalized navigation information. That is, when there is at least one registered point, there is a point that satisfies the constraint condition that the user is interested in. Therefore, the section information should be included in the route to the destination. Is set.

  On the other hand, if there is no point registered in step S167, there is no point that the user is interested in in the selected section, so the process of step S168 is skipped, and the personalized navigation information To delete the selected section information.

  In step S169, the filter processing unit 241a determines whether there is unprocessed section information among the section information included in the program basic navigation information 233, and if it is determined that there is unprocessed section information, The process returns to step S161. That is, the processes in steps S161 to S169 are repeated until there is no unprocessed section information. And when it determines with there being no unprocessed area information, the process is complete | finished.

  That is, only information that is considered to be of interest to the user is selected and left from the basic navigation information for programs 233 by the filtering process.

  Now, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S133, for example, when it is determined that the user additional information, that is, the constraint condition is not added, the process of step S134 is skipped.

  In step S135, the information adding unit 241b accesses the point history information database 249, and the user who has generated the marking information is requested to generate personalized navigation data in the past, and whether or not the point history information at that time remains. Determine whether.

  When it is determined in step S135 that the point history information remains, in step S136, the information addition unit 241b executes history information addition processing.

  Here, the history information addition processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S181, the information adding unit 241b selects any one of the unprocessed points 406 from the points registered in the personalized navigation information by the processing so far.

  In step S182, the latitude / longitude position information of the selected point 406 is compared with the position information of the history point 261 generated in the past, and it is determined whether or not the history point is included in the vicinity of the selected point 406. judge. For example, if the selected point is within a predetermined distance from any history point generated in the past, it is determined that the selected point exists in the vicinity and is included, and the process proceeds to step S183. .

  In step S183, the information adding unit 241b regards the historical points existing in the vicinity as points that have been interested in the past, and adds them as points 406 in the route information 405 of the personalized navigation information currently generated. To do.

  On the other hand, when the selected point is not within a predetermined distance from the history point generated in the past, the process of step S183 is skipped.

  In step S184, the information adding unit 241b determines whether there is unprocessed section information. If it is determined that there is unprocessed section information, the process returns to step S181. That is, the processes of steps S181 to S184 are repeated until there is no unprocessed section information. If it is determined in step S184 that there is no unprocessed section information, the process ends.

  By the history information addition process as described above, if the point selected with interest by the same user in the past is added in the vicinity of the point in the section included in the current route, , It is possible to set points that have been selected as personalized navigation information in the past, and by repeating this, it is possible to gradually select points that meet the user's preference, especially when the user does not specify restriction information etc. It becomes possible to set.

  Now, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S137, the information adding unit 241b accesses the affiliated store information DB 250 and determines whether or not there is an affiliated store that provides coupon information or the like in the vicinity of the point 406 that has been registered as personalized navigation information so far. It is determined whether or not the coupon can be used.

  For example, if it is determined in step S137 that coupon information is available, in step S138, the information addition unit 241b reads the affiliated store information from the affiliated store information DB 250 and adds it as a point 406. Coupon information corresponding to is added.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S137 that coupon information cannot be used, the process in step S138 is skipped.

  In step S139, the marking information acquisition unit 242 extracts the marked time information and channel information based on the marking information and supplies the extracted time information and channel information to the search engine 243.

  In step S140, the search engine 243 accesses the program scene information DB 244 based on the time information and channel information supplied from the marking information acquisition unit 242 and searches for scene information of the corresponding time and channel. The URI combined with the broadcast signal when the scene is broadcast is extracted and supplied to the browser unit 245.

  In step S <b> 141, the browser unit 245 accesses a server (not shown) specified by the supplied URI, downloads various data represented by HP and the like, and supplies the data to the extraction unit 246.

  In step S142, the extraction unit 246 extracts position information from text information such as an address and a telephone number displayed on the basis of data such as HP supplied from the browser unit 245, and generates position information. To the unit 247.

  More specifically, the extraction unit 246 extracts information that constitutes a predetermined HP supplied from the browser unit 245, that is, information indicating a position such as an address or a telephone number from text information, for example, and generates position information. To the unit 247. Further, the information indicating the position by the extraction unit 246 may be, for example, extracted and displayed text characters, and may be selected by the user, or a search function may be used. For example, when extracting a character string of an address by the search function, the extraction unit 246 searches for a keyword indicating an address such as “prefecture”, “prefecture”, “city”, “town”, and the character string before and after this Is determined to be an address and extracted.

  Further, the extraction unit 246 searches for a keyword such as “telephone” or “TEL” using the character string of the telephone number, and determines that the subsequent character string is a telephone number and extracts it. Furthermore, a numeric string having a specific pattern such as “03-” or “048-” is searched, and is extracted by determining that it is a telephone number.

  In step S <b> 143, the position information generation unit 247 uses the information indicating the position such as an address and a telephone number supplied from the extraction unit 246 to search and read the corresponding latitude and longitude information from the position database 248. The position information is generated and supplied to the personalized navigation information generation unit 241. At this time, the personalized navigation data generation unit 241 registers the position information supplied from the position information generation unit 247 as the point 406 of the personalized navigation information.

  By this processing, it is possible to include in the personalized navigation information points related to places where the user is interested while watching the broadcast program.

  In step S144, the personalized navigation data generation unit 241 searches for and sets a route from the starting point to the destination (end point) based on the section information included in the generated personalized navigation information.

  In step S145, the personalized navigation data generation unit 241 generates personalized navigation data that can be recognized by the car navigation device 11 based on the generated personalized navigation information and information on the route used for route guidance.

  In step S146, the personalized navigation data generation unit 241 records the information of the point 406 included in the generated personalized navigation information in the point history information database 249, and the process ends.

  That is, by the above processing, user additional information, that is, the restriction condition by the user, the past history, and the marking information set by watching the broadcast program are taken into consideration, so that Personalized navigation data including points closest to the user's preference is generated. In addition, since the history points are accumulated, there is a high possibility that points suited to the user's preference can be extracted. For example, even if the user forgets to set a restriction condition, it is included as a point on the route. The possibility of being able to do so can be increased.

  Now, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S76, the control unit 231 controls the communication unit 234 to transmit the personalized navigation data generated by the personalization engine 8a to the HDD recorder 4 as a processing result.
