Description

The present invention relates to a technique for guiding facility information.

Conventionally, there has been known a technique of displaying the current position of a moving body on which an information processing device is mounted on a map by using an information processing device such as a smartphone or a car navigation device. Further, in such a technology, when the moving body is traveling on a route of a type other than a preset interchange (hereinafter, also referred to as a "doorway") such as an expressway, the route cannot be changed in the direction of travel. It is known to list some facilities (eg, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-304085

Information on facilities such as entrances, junctions, service areas, and parking areas on expressways and the like is prepared in advance on an information processing device and a server with which the information processing device communicates. Further, for convenience, information on such facilities is provided in order from facilities located at the beginning of an expressway or the like to facilities located at the end of an expressway or the like.

Here, it is assumed that the moving body travels around a circular highway or the like (hereinafter, also referred to as a “ring road”). In this case, for example, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to acquire information on the facilities prepared in advance as described above and sequentially display a list of several facilities in the traveling direction. However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, after the display of the facility located at the end of the loop line is finished, the acquired facility information is not available, in other words, the acquired facility information is displayed until the end. There was a problem that the display was completed and the subsequent display could not be continued.

It should be noted that such a problem is not limited to expressways, but is a problem common to all types of routes where route changes are restricted except for preset facilities. Further, such a problem is not limited to the case where the moving body travels around the ring road, but the moving body enters the ring road from the vicinity of the facility located at the end of the ring road and is located at the end. It was also a common problem when passing through the road and continuing to drive on the ring road. Further, such a problem is not limited to the mode of guiding by displaying the facility information, but is also a common problem when the facility information is guided by voice.

Therefore, in the information processing device, even when the moving body equipped with the information processing device travels on the circular line, it is required to correctly guide the information of the facility in the traveling direction.

A. First Embodiment:
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing device 10 as an embodiment of the present invention. The information processing device 10 is a device that guides information on facilities in the direction of travel by displaying a list while a vehicle or the like (hereinafter, also referred to as a “moving body”) equipped with the information processing device 10 is traveling on a specific route. is there. Here, the "specific route" means a type of route in which route changes other than preset facilities are restricted, and for example, an expressway, a bypass road, or the like corresponds to a specific route. “Preset facilities” means entrances and exits and junctions (JCTs) to specific routes, service areas (SA) and parking areas (PAs) provided within specific routes. Hereinafter, an expressway will be described as an example of a specific route.

The information processing device 10 of the present embodiment is a smartphone, and includes a CPU 110, a storage unit 120, a communication unit 130, a ROM / RAM 140, an input / output unit 150, and a current position information acquisition unit 160. The parts are connected to each other by a bus (not shown).

The CPU 110 controls each part of the information processing apparatus 10 by expanding and executing a computer program stored in the ROM 140 in the RAM 140. The CPU 110 also functions as a guide unit 111, a facility information acquisition unit 112, and a link information acquisition unit 113. The guide unit 111 cooperates with the facility information acquisition unit 112 and the link information acquisition unit 113 to execute the display control process described later. The display control process is a process of guiding information on facilities in the direction of travel by displaying a list while traveling on a specific route. The link information acquisition unit 113 acquires the information of the link corresponding to the current position from the server (not shown). The facility information acquisition unit 112 acquires information on the facility corresponding to the link from the server.

The server is installed on the Internet. In the server, at least "link information" associated with the link ID, the location information of the link, and the route on which the link is located is prepared and stored in advance. Here, "route" means the name given to the road line connecting the start point (start point) and the end point (destination point), and in the case of an expressway, the city center loop line (up / down) and the bay line (up / down). Up / down), Shinjuku line (up / down), etc. correspond to each line. In addition, "facility information" associated with at least the facility name, the location information of the facility, and the route where the facility is located is stored in the server in advance. This facility information is maintained in order from the facility located at the beginning of the line to the facility located at the end of the line.

The storage unit 120 is composed of a hard disk, a flash memory, a memory card, and the like. The storage unit 120 is provided with a facility information storage unit 121. The facility information storage unit 121 is an area for storing facility information acquired from the server by the facility information acquisition unit 112 in the display control process.

The communication unit 130 controls communication with other devices via a communication interface (not shown). By connecting to the Internet via a communication carrier (not shown) by the communication unit 130, the information processing device 10 can communicate with a server provided on the Internet.

The input / output unit 150 is various interfaces used for inputting / outputting information to / from the user. As the input / output unit 150, for example, a touch panel as an input unit, an operation button, a microphone, a touch panel as an output unit, a liquid crystal panel, a speaker, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator and the like can be adopted. Hereinafter, the touch panel will be described as an example of the input / output unit 150.

The current position information acquisition unit 160 receives radio waves transmitted from artificial satellites constituting a GPS (Global Positioning System), and the current position information (latitude and longitude) representing the current position of the information processing device 10. To get. In the present embodiment, since the information processing device 10 is mounted on the moving body, the current position acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 160 can be equated with the current position of the moving body.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the display control processing. The display control process is a process of guiding information on facilities in the traveling direction by a list display while traveling on a specific route, and can be started at an arbitrary timing. For example, the display control process may be started at the same time as the application of the guide unit 111 is started. The display control process may be executed in parallel with the known process of displaying the symbol representing the current position of the moving body on the map.

In step S11, the guide unit 111 acquires the current position information of the moving body acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 160. In step S12, the link information acquisition unit 113 identifies the link ID in which the moving body is traveling. Specifically, the link information acquisition unit 113 refers to the link information stored in the server and identifies the link ID corresponding to the current position acquired in step S11. In step S13, the link information acquisition unit 113 identifies the route on which the moving body is traveling. Specifically, the link information acquisition unit 113 refers to the link information stored in the server, and refers to the route corresponding to the link ID specified in step S12 (for example, the city center loop line up direction, the Shinjuku line down direction). Etc.).

In step S14, the facility information acquisition unit 112 acquires facility information of all facilities on the route. Specifically, the facility information acquisition unit 112 refers to the facility information stored in the server and acquires all the facility names corresponding to the routes specified in step S13 and the location information of the facilities. In step S15, the facility information acquisition unit 112 stores the acquired facility information (facility name, facility location information) in the facility information storage unit 121.

3 and 4 are diagrams for explaining specific examples of link information and facility information. In FIG. 3, a case where the moving body is traveling on the link LK10 between the XX JCT and the XX entrance / exit on the D1 direction route of the circular line C will be described as an example. In step S12 of FIG. 2, the link information acquisition unit 113 specifies the link ID (LK10) corresponding to the current position of the moving body. In step S13, the link information acquisition unit 113 specifies the route corresponding to the link LK10 (the D1 direction of the loop line C). In steps S14 and S15, the facility information acquisition unit 112 has all the facility names corresponding to the D1 direction of the loop line C (○○ JCT, ○○ doorway, XX doorway, ..., △△ doorway, ○○ JCT). And the location information of each facility is acquired and stored in the facility information storage unit 121 (FIG. 4).

Here, since the lines illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 are circular lines, all the facility names acquired by the facility information acquisition unit 112 include the same facility name (○○ JCT) at the start and end. ing. The facility name at the end is dummy information. In the case of general routes that are not circular, different facility names are stored at the beginning and end.

The explanation will be continued by returning to FIG. In step S16, the guide unit 111 determines whether or not the start end and the end end of the facility information acquired in step S14 match. If they match (step S16: YES), the guide unit 111 determines that the route on which the moving body travels is a ring road, and executes a ring list display process described later (step S20). If they do not match (step S16: NO), the guide unit 111 determines that the route on which the moving body travels is not a ring road, and executes a normal list display process (step S30). The normal list display process is a known process for displaying a list of the names and the like of some facilities (doorways, JCT, SA, PA) in the traveling direction of the moving body after the symbol indicating the current position of the moving body. ..

After the circular list display process (step S20) or the normal list display process (step S30) is completed, the guide unit 111 determines in step S17 whether or not to end the display control process. Specifically, the guide unit 111 performs display control processing when it determines that the moving body is not on a specific route (expressway or the like) from the current position, or when it detects the end of the application of the guide unit 111. End (step S17: YES). When the process is not terminated (step S17: NO), the guide unit 111 shifts the process to step S11 and continuously executes the display control process.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the circular list display processing. The circular list display process is a process executed as a subroutine (step S20) of the display control process.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating sorting of facility information. In step S21 of FIG. 5, the guide unit 111 sorts the facility information stored in the facility information storage unit 121 in order of the distance from the current position in the traveling direction of the moving body to each facility. In the case of the example of FIG. 3, the moving body is located at the current position PL between the XX JCT and the XX entrance / exit in the D1 direction of the circular line C. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the facility information at the time t1 in the facility information storage unit 121 has the shortest distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1. XX entrances and exits continue, and finally, XX JCT, which is the longest distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1, is sorted so as to be located last.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display screen of facility information. In step S22 of FIG. 5, the guide unit 111 inputs facility information of a predetermined number of m (m is an arbitrary natural number, m = 3 in this embodiment) of the input / output unit 150 based on the sorted facility information storage unit 121. Display the list on the touch panel. As a result, the display screen 20 as shown in FIG. 7, for example, is displayed on the touch panel. On the display screen 20, a list display unit 210, a map switching button 220, an end button 230, a time display unit 240, and a menu button 250 are arranged.

The list display unit 210 is a display unit for guiding facility information. The list display unit 210 has a symbol 211 (display of the current position) representing the current position of the moving body, a bar display 212 extending upward from the symbol 211, and a bar display 212 from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1. It contains m facility information 213, 214, 215 arranged in order of distance. The facility information 213, 214, 215 is displayed according to the contents of the sorted facility information storage unit 121. In the facility information storage unit 121, the terminal facility name (○○ JCT), which is dummy information, is not displayed in order to avoid duplication with the facility name at the beginning. In this embodiment, since the case where the predetermined number m = 3 is illustrated, three facility informations are arranged in the list display unit 210. For example, when the predetermined number m = 1, only one facility information 213 closest to the current position PL is displayed on the list display unit 210.

In this way, the list display unit 210 displays information (facility information 213, 214, 215) of each facility on the circular line C in the order of distance from the symbol 211 representing the current position PL in the traveling direction D1 to each facility. Since the information is continuously displayed along the bar display 212, the facility information can be guided in a manner that is intuitively easy for the user of the information processing apparatus 10.

The map switching button 220 is a button for ending the list display by detecting the button press and shifting to the mode of displaying the symbol 211 indicating the current position on the map. The end button 230 is a button for terminating the application of the guide unit 111. The time display unit 240 is a display unit for guiding the current time. The menu button 250 is a button for making various settings related to the application of the guide unit 111.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating scrolling of the display screen. When the user scrolls the display screen 20 as shown in the figure, the information of each facility (FIG. 3: black circle) on the ring line C is displayed on the bar display 212 as the distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1. It is displayed in order. Then, after the facility information 21n of XX JCT, which has the longest distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1, the symbol 211 representing the current position is displayed again. That is, on the display screen 20 of the ring list display process, as long as the user continues scrolling, the information 213 to 21n of each facility on the ring line C and the symbol 211 representing the current position are repeatedly displayed.

In this way, the guide unit 111 can sequentially guide the information (facility information 213 to 21n) of all the facilities on the circular line C in the order of the distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1 to each facility. Even when the moving body travels on the loop line C, the information of the facility in the traveling direction D1 can be correctly guided.

The explanation will be continued by returning to FIG. In step S23, the guide unit 111 acquires the latest current position information of the moving body acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 160. In step S24, the guide unit 111 determines whether or not the moving body has passed the facility in front from the current position acquired in step S23 and the position information of each facility stored in the facility information storage unit 121. .. When the vehicle has not passed through the facility in front (step S24: NO), the guide unit 111 shifts the process to step S23 and continues to monitor the passage.

On the other hand, when passing through the facility in front (step S24: YES), in step S25, the guide unit 111 determines whether or not the moving body is still located on the ring line C from the current position acquired in step S23. To do. When the moving body is not located on the ring line (step S25: NO), the guide unit 111 ends the ring list display process.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating re-sorting of facility information. In FIG. 5, when the moving body is located on the ring line (step S25: YES), the guide unit 111 updates the order of the facility information stored in the facility information storage unit 121 in step S26. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, a case where the moving body passes through the XX doorway and travels between the XX doorway and the XX doorway will be illustrated. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the facility information at the time t2 in the facility information storage unit 121 is such that the XX entrance / exit, which is the shortest distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1, is located at the beginning, and finally the traveling direction D1. The longest distance from the current position PL in (that is, the moving object has passed earlier) is sorted so that the entrance / exit is located last.

In FIG. 5, the guide unit 111 updates the order of the facility information, and then shifts the process to step S22 again. As a result, the list display unit 210 based on the updated facility information storage unit 121 is displayed on the display screen 20 of the touch panel. Further, the guide unit 111 displays the list display unit 210 based on the sorted facility information storage unit 121 (step S22) and the latest current position unless the moving body exits the loop line (step S25: YES). The passage confirmation of the front facility by the PL (steps S23 and S24) and the re-sorting of the facility information storage unit 121 by the latest current position PL (step S26) are repeatedly performed.

Therefore, according to the ring list display process of the present embodiment, the guide unit 111 can repeatedly guide the facility information as long as the moving body travels on the ring line C. Therefore, the guide unit 111 can correctly guide the information of the facility in the traveling direction D1 even when the moving body travels around the annular line C, for example.

As described above, according to the information processing device 10 of the first embodiment, the guide unit 111 sets the current position PL when the route on which the moving body on which the information processing device 10 is mounted is the circular line C. As a reference, the information of each facility on the circular line C in the traveling direction D1 of the moving body can be guided in the order of the distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1 to each facility. Therefore, according to the information processing apparatus 10 of the first embodiment, there is a problem that the facility information is not displayed after passing through the facility located at the end when traveling around the ring road, which has been a problem in the past, and the ring road. Suppressing the problem that facility information is not displayed when entering the ring road from the vicinity of the facility located at the end of the line, passing through the facility located at the end of the line, and continuously traveling on the ring road, the ring road It is possible to correctly guide information on facilities while driving.

B. Second embodiment:
In the second embodiment, an example in which the mode of the display screen by the guide unit is different will be described. Hereinafter, only the parts different from the above-described first embodiment will be described.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a facility information display screen according to the second embodiment. On the display screen 20a of the second embodiment, a list display unit 210a is arranged in place of the list display unit 210. In the list display unit 210a, the bar display 212a extends upward and downward from the symbol 211, which is a display of the current position of the moving body. Starting from the symbol 211, the upper part corresponds to the "first direction Du" and the lower part corresponds to the "second direction Dd". The second direction Dd is the opposite side of the first direction Du.

On the bar display 212a, in the first direction Du starting from the symbol 211, a predetermined number of m (m = 3 in this embodiment) of facility information 213 are set in ascending order of distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1. , 214, 215 are displayed continuously. On the other hand, on the bar display 212a, in the second direction Dd starting from the symbol 211, a predetermined number n (n is an arbitrary natural number, n in the present embodiment) in descending order of the distance from the current position PL in the traveling direction D1. = 1) The facility information 21n is continuously displayed.

In the list display unit 210a of the present embodiment, the facility information of the facility displayed in the first direction Du, that is, the facility through which the moving body will pass in the future, and the facility displayed in the second direction Dd, that is, the moving body are already present. The display mode is different from the facility information of the passed facility. Specifically, the character color of the facility name displayed in the first direction Du is black, and the character color of the facility name displayed in the second direction Dd is gray. Further, the characters "(passing)" are added after the facility name displayed in the second direction Dd. The difference in the display mode described with reference to FIG. 10 is merely an example, and various changes can be made. For example, the display size, color, shape of the outer frame, etc. of the facility information in the first direction Du may be different from the display of the facility information in the second direction Dd.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 10a of the second embodiment, the guide units 111 have a predetermined number (m) of all the facilities on the loop line C in ascending order of distance in the traveling direction D1. In order to continuously display the information of each facility (facility information 213 to 215) in the first direction Du starting from the display 211 of the current position, the user can use the information of each facility to be passed in the first direction Du. Information can be easily grasped. Further, the guide unit 111 displays information (facility information 21n) of a predetermined number (n) of each facility in the order of increasing distance in the traveling direction D1 from the display 211 of the current position in the opposite direction to the first direction Du. Since the information is continuously displayed in the second direction Dd on the side, the user can easily grasp the information of each facility that has passed so far in the second direction Dd. As a result, the guide unit 11 can guide the facility information in a manner that is more intuitive and easy for the user of the information processing device 10a.

C. Modification example:
In the above embodiment, a part of the configuration realized by the hardware may be replaced with software, and conversely, a part of the configuration realized by the software may be replaced with the hardware. Good. In addition, the following modifications are possible.

-Modification example 1:
In the above embodiment, an example of the configuration of the information processing device is shown. However, any aspect of the configuration of the information processing device can be adopted. For example, the "link information" and the "facility information" that are maintained in the server may be stored in the information processing apparatus. For example, as the information processing device, in addition to the smartphone illustrated in FIG. 1, various devices such as a personal computer, a dedicated navigation device, a game machine, and a wearable device can be adopted.

-Modification example 2:
In the above embodiment, the display control process (FIG. 2) and the circular list display process (FIG. 5) have been described with reference to an example of the processing procedure. However, these processing procedures can be changed in various ways, and the processing contents in each step may be added, omitted, or changed, or the execution order of each step may be changed.

For example, in step S22 of the circular list display process (FIG. 5), the guidance unit may display the facility information instead of displaying the facility information, or may display the facility information and guide the facility information to the user by voice. .. Various modes can be adopted for voice guidance. For example, the guide unit may provide guidance by reading out the facility names on the ring line in the traveling direction of the moving body in the order of the distance from the current position to each facility. In this case, for example, the guidance unit may provide voice guidance independently, such as "Next is the XX doorway.", "Next is the XX doorway, then the XX doorway, and then XX." Continuous voice guidance may be provided, such as "PA." In addition, for example, the information department will provide voice guidance to facilities that have already passed, such as "Passed XX JCT. Next is XX entrance, then XX entrance, then XX PA." You can do it.

For example, in the ring list display process (FIG. 5), by comparing the current position acquired in step S11 of the display control process (FIG. 2) with the latest current position, the vehicle travels on the same ring line after the second lap. It may be determined whether or not it is. When the guide unit detects that the vehicle is traveling on the same loop line after the second lap, the display of facility information (step S22) may be omitted.

For example, in the display screens (FIGS. 7, 8, and 10) of the first and second embodiments, the case where the bar display extends in the vertical direction is illustrated, but the bar display may extend in the horizontal direction and is oblique. It may extend in the direction. Further, in the case of the display setting in which either the north, south, east, or west directions are fixed upward, the direction of the bar display may change as the traveling direction changes. For example, the map switching button, the end button, the time display unit, and the menu button included in the display screen may be omitted. In addition, the display screen may include objects (buttons, display units, operation units) for realizing other functions not described above.

For example, in the display screens of the first and second embodiments (FIGS. 7, 8, and 10), when the user scrolls the display screen, the facility having the longest distance from the current position in the traveling direction (FIG. 8 :). After XX JCT), nothing may be displayed. In other words, in the example of FIG. 8, the display of the symbol 211 shown in the upper row and the facility information 213, 214 shown in the upper row may be omitted.
