Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种电子地图的操作方法及装置,特别是涉及一种电子地图视野的操作方法、装置及所使用的计算机程序产品。The present invention relates to an electronic map operating method and device, in particular to an electronic map field of view operating method, device and computer program product used.
背景技术 Background technique
近年来,随着电子科技及通讯技术的不断演进及改良,诸如手机(Cellular Phone)、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)等不占空间且可随身携带的电子装置也推陈出新。市面上的便携式电子装置莫不整合多项功能以提升其竞争力,除了一般的照相、通话、上网功能之外,现在连全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)等定位系统、电子地图与导航系统也都整合在手持通讯装置上。使用者可以随时随地藉由GPS掌握自己的位置,同时也可藉由导航系统的规划及指引,找出最佳路线以快速、安全地前往目的地。In recent years, with the continuous evolution and improvement of electronic technology and communication technology, electronic devices such as cellular phones (Cellular Phone) and personal digital assistants (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA) that do not take up space and can be carried around are also introduced. Portable electronic devices on the market all integrate multiple functions to enhance their competitiveness. In addition to the general functions of taking pictures, calling, and surfing the Internet, they are now connected with positioning systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), electronic maps, and navigation systems. Also all integrated on the handheld communication device. Users can use GPS to know their location anytime and anywhere, and at the same time, they can also use the planning and guidance of the navigation system to find the best route to get to the destination quickly and safely.
GPS是结合卫星与无线通讯的一种定位技术,其能提供精确的定位、速度及时间信息,而电子地图则可与GPS等定位系统结合,让使用者了解其目前所在位置与目的地位置的相对关系。其中,使用者可先将电子地图载入电子装置,再藉由电子装置的触碰屏幕或键盘等输入装置,选择或输入所欲前往的目的地或是兴趣点(Point Of Interest,POI),电子装置即会在电子地图上显示这些兴趣点的位置。GPS is a positioning technology that combines satellite and wireless communication, which can provide accurate positioning, speed and time information, while electronic maps can be combined with GPS and other positioning systems to allow users to know the relationship between their current location and destination location relative relationship. Among them, the user can first load the electronic map into the electronic device, and then select or input the desired destination or point of interest (POI) through the touch screen or keyboard of the electronic device. The electronic device will then display the positions of these POIs on the electronic map.
然而,在使用电子地图的过程中,由于电子装置屏幕的尺寸有限,电子装置通常只能以适当的比例缩放电子地图,并在其屏幕上显示出电子地图的某个视野,例如使用者目前浏览的视野或是某个兴趣点周围的视野。在此情况下,若使用者欲检视分散于视野外的兴趣点,则必须经过多次的放大、缩小及改变或平移地图的动作,或是必须经过繁复的选单选择动作,才能在地图上找到兴趣点,费时且费力;此外,若使用者欲检视电子地图中各个兴趣点的相对位置,也需要反复地调整电子地图的比例及位置,才能找到适当比例以在同一视野中显示出所有兴趣点,繁琐的操作动作不仅耗费时间,也造成使用者操作上的不便。However, in the process of using the electronic map, due to the limited size of the screen of the electronic device, the electronic device can usually only scale the electronic map at an appropriate scale and display a certain field of view of the electronic map on its screen, for example, the user is currently browsing The field of view or the field of view around a point of interest. In this case, if the user wants to view points of interest scattered outside the field of view, he must go through multiple actions of zooming in, zooming out, changing or panning the map, or must go through complicated menu selection actions before he can find them on the map. Points of interest are time-consuming and labor-intensive; in addition, if the user wants to view the relative position of each point of interest in the electronic map, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the scale and position of the electronic map to find an appropriate scale to display all points of interest in the same field of view , The cumbersome operation is not only time-consuming, but also causes inconvenience to the user.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways
本发明是利用各个兴趣点在电子地图上的相对位置,判断出视野外兴趣点(Point Of Interest,POI)相对于目前视野的方向,并在视野内朝向此兴趣点方向的边缘显示对应的提示物件。使用者可藉由点选提示物件,快速地将视野移至兴趣点,而省去繁琐的操作流程。为了使本发明的内容更为明了,以下特举实施例作为本发明确实能够据以实施的范例。The present invention uses the relative position of each point of interest on the electronic map to determine the direction of the point of interest (Point Of Interest, POI) outside the field of view relative to the current field of view, and displays the corresponding prompt on the edge of the point of interest in the field of view. object. Users can quickly move their field of view to the point of interest by clicking on the prompt object, without cumbersome operation procedures. In order to make the content of the present invention clearer, the following specific examples are given as examples in which the present invention can actually be implemented.
图1是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的电子地图视野操作方法的流程图。请参照图1,本实施例适用于安装有电子地图的车用计算机、桌上型计算机、笔记型计算机、手机、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)或导航装置等电子装置,而提供使用者快速浏览视野外兴趣点的途径,其详细步骤如下:FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for operating an electronic map field of view according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Fig. 1, this embodiment is applicable to electronic devices such as car computers, desktop computers, notebook computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA) or navigation devices installed with electronic maps, and provides the use The way for the reader to quickly browse the points of interest outside the field of view, the detailed steps are as follows:
首先,在电子装置的屏幕上显示电子地图的一个视野(步骤S110)。其中,受限于屏幕的尺寸,电子装置在显示电子地图时通常只能显示出电子地图的某个部分(即视野)。First, a field of view of the electronic map is displayed on the screen of the electronic device (step S110). Wherein, limited by the size of the screen, the electronic device usually can only display a certain part of the electronic map (ie, field of view) when displaying the electronic map.
接着,电子装置进一步根据视野外的兴趣点相对于目前视野的方向,在视野内朝向此方向的边缘显示此兴趣点的提示物件(步骤S120)。详细地说,使用者可藉由输入座标或操作选单的方式,在电子地图上设定其所欲浏览的兴趣点,这个兴趣点可以是使用者所欲前往的目的地或景点,抑或是目前所在位置附近的餐厅或加油站,本实施例不限制其范围。Next, according to the direction of the POI out of the field of view relative to the direction of the current field of view, the electronic device displays a prompt object of the POI in the field of view towards the edge of the direction (step S120 ). In detail, the user can set the point of interest on the electronic map by inputting coordinates or operating the menu. This point of interest can be the destination or scenic spot that the user wants to go to, or it can be Restaurants or gas stations near the current location, the scope of which is not limited in this embodiment.
较佳地,藉由比较兴趣点与目前视野的中心点的相对位置,可推测出兴趣点是位于目前视野的哪一个方向,然后就可以在目前视野内朝向此方向的边缘上显示可代表此兴趣点的提示物件。此提示物件可以是一个指向兴趣点的箭头或是其他提示文字、提示符号及提示图案任意搭配的组合。举例来说,可以在所显示指向兴趣点的箭头内或周围显示此兴趣点的名称及距离。Preferably, by comparing the relative position of the point of interest with the center point of the current field of view, it can be inferred which direction the point of interest is located in the current field of view, and then it can be displayed on the edge of the current field of view facing this direction to represent this direction. Hint object for points of interest. The reminder object can be an arrow pointing to a point of interest or any combination of other reminder texts, reminder symbols and reminder patterns. For example, the name and distance of a point of interest can be displayed within or around a displayed arrow pointing to the point of interest.
值得一提的是,若视野外存在一个以上的兴趣点,则电子装置亦可以相同方式在目前视野内朝向这些兴趣点方向的边缘上,分别显示这些兴趣点的提示物件,其数量上并无限制。此外,若提示物件的显示范围刚好与目前视野中某个兴趣点重迭时,则本实施例还包括将此提示物件以半透明或动画的视觉效果呈现,让使用者能够在观察视野外兴趣点的情况下,不致因为提示物件的视觉干扰而影响其浏览视野内兴趣点的能力。It is worth mentioning that if there is more than one point of interest outside the field of view, the electronic device can also display prompt objects for these points of interest on the edges of the current field of view facing these points of interest in the same way. limit. In addition, if the display range of the prompt object just overlaps with a point of interest in the current field of view, this embodiment also includes presenting the prompt object with a translucent or animated visual effect, so that the user can observe the point of interest outside the field of view. In the case of a point, the ability to browse the point of interest in the field of view will not be affected by the visual interference of the prompt object.
然后,电子装置将检测使用者的操作动作(步骤S130),据以判断上述兴趣点的提示物件是否被点选(步骤S140)。其中,使用者可利用滑鼠控制屏幕中的游标以点选提示物件,或者是直接在触碰式屏幕上触碰点选提示物件,本实施例不限制其范围。Then, the electronic device detects the user's operation action (step S130 ), so as to determine whether the prompt object of the above-mentioned point of interest is clicked (step S140 ). Wherein, the user can use the mouse to control the cursor on the screen to click on the prompting object, or directly touch and click on the touch screen to select the prompting object, and the scope of this embodiment is not limited.
最后,当兴趣点的提示物件被点选时,电子装置即自动地将目前的视野改变为该兴趣点的视野(步骤S150)。其中,上述改变视野的方式可以采用切换方式,或是以滑动的方式将目前的视野移到兴趣点上,而移至兴趣点的视野例如是以此兴趣点为中心且以相同的缩放比例所显示的视野,其视觉上的效果就像是直接将电子地图平移至兴趣点上一般。而藉由视野的快速平移或切换,使用者即可省去放大、缩小及移动地图的繁琐步骤,而能够在极短的时间内浏览兴趣点的位置及信息。Finally, when the prompt object of the POI is clicked, the electronic device automatically changes the current field of view to the field of view of the POI (step S150 ). Wherein, the above-mentioned method of changing the field of view may adopt a switching method, or move the current field of view to the point of interest in a sliding manner, and the field of view moved to the point of interest is, for example, centered on the point of interest and with the same zoom ratio. The displayed field of view, its visual effect is like directly panning the electronic map to the point of interest. By quickly panning or switching the field of view, the user can save the cumbersome steps of zooming in, zooming out, and moving the map, and can browse the location and information of the point of interest in a very short time.
举例来说,图2(a)及图2(b)是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的电子地图视野操作方法的示意图。请先参照图2(a),电子地图的视野200例如是使用者目前浏览电子地图的视野,其可视范围例如约500公尺,且在可视范围中未包含兴趣点。兴趣点P1例如是落在视野200外5公里的位置,此时电子装置即会在视野200中朝向兴趣点P1方向的边缘显示提示图案210,以供使用者点选。接着请参照图2(b),当提示图案210被点选时,则电子装置即会将视野200改变至兴趣点P1,而较佳地以兴趣点P1为中心来显示。据此,使用者即可藉由点选提示图案210快速平移或切换视野以检视兴趣点P1的位置及相关信息。For example, FIG. 2( a ) and FIG. 2( b ) are schematic diagrams of a method for operating an electronic map field of view according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2(a) first. The field of view 200 of the electronic map is, for example, the field of view of the user currently browsing the electronic map. The visible range is, for example, about 500 meters, and the visible range does not include points of interest. For example, if the point of interest P1 falls 5 kilometers away from the field of view 200 , the electronic device will display a prompt pattern 210 on the edge of the field of view 200 toward the point of interest P1 for the user to click. Next, please refer to FIG. 2( b ), when the prompt pattern 210 is clicked, the electronic device will change the field of view 200 to the point of interest P1 , and preferably display the point of interest P1 as the center. Accordingly, the user can quickly pan or switch the field of view by clicking the prompt icon 210 to view the position of the point of interest P1 and related information.
值得一提的是,在本实施例中原先由电子装置显示的视野是使用者目前浏览电子地图的视野,其中未包含兴趣点。而在另一实施例中,原先由电子装置显示的电子地图的视野也可能包含有兴趣点,或是以某个兴趣点为中心显示的视野。在此情况下,当电子地图的视野平移或切换到视野外的兴趣点时,本发明还包括在改变后的视野中显示原视野中兴趣点的提示物件,而方便使用者切换回原先兴趣点的视野,以下则再举一实施例详细说明。It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the field of view originally displayed by the electronic device is the field of view of the user currently browsing the electronic map, which does not include the POI. In another embodiment, the field of view of the electronic map originally displayed by the electronic device may also include points of interest, or a field of view displayed centering on a point of interest. In this case, when the field of view of the electronic map is shifted or switched to a point of interest outside the field of view, the present invention also includes displaying a prompt object of the point of interest in the original field of view in the changed field of view, so as to facilitate the user to switch back to the original point of interest The field of view will be described in detail in another embodiment below.
图3是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的电子地图视野操作方法的流程图。请参照图3,本实施例适用于安装有电子地图的车用计算机、桌上型计算机、笔记型计算机、手机、个人数字助理或导航装置等电子装置,而提供使用者在视野内及视野外的兴趣点间快速切换,其详细步骤如下:FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a method for operating a field of view of an electronic map according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Fig. 3, this embodiment is applicable to electronic devices such as car computers, desktop computers, notebook computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants or navigation devices installed with electronic maps, and provides the user with a view within the field of view and outside the field of view.
