  The search unit 101 searches for a recommended route to the destination. The destination is, for example, a facility or a point on the road set by an input from the user. When searching for a recommended route by the search unit 101, the Dijkstra method or a method based thereon is used.

  The point setting unit 102 sets a point for performing a predetermined effect (hereinafter referred to as “effect point”) within a predetermined range of the recommended route searched by the search unit 101. The predetermined range of the recommended route includes a point on the recommended route and a point in the vicinity of the recommended route, and also includes a range to a point where the limit is set when the recommended route deviates. The predetermined effects are to provide game characteristics and to provide entertainment for the display screen.

  The production unit 103 performs a predetermined production when the moving body passes at least the production point set in the point setting unit 102. “At least” means not only when the moving body passes, but also before the moving body passes the effect point.

  In the present embodiment, the spot setting unit 102 may set a plurality of performance spots on the recommended route. In this case, the rendering unit 103 performs a predetermined rendering when at least the moving object passes through the rendering point. In this configuration, by setting a production point on the recommended route, it is possible to perform a plurality of productions until the destination is reached after traveling on the recommended route.

  As a specific example, the rendering unit 103 performs an effect of acquiring content when at least a moving object passes through the rendering point. Examples of the content include character images such as animals and illustration images such as vehicles. In this case, the content may be displayed before passing the effect point, that is, when the effect point is approached.

  As another specific example, the rendering unit 103 may perform an effect of reproducing a story or music when a moving body passes through the effect point. It is desirable to use continuous stories and music. The story can be of any genre, including old tales, fairy tales, comics, and ghost stories. When the moving body passes through the effect point, the effect unit 103 reads, for example, one measure at a time, and performs the effect that the reading of all the measures is completed before reaching the destination. The production is not limited to reading one measure at a time, but a short story that is completed by reading once may be read. As for the music, the genre is not limited. As for the production of music, it may be possible to reproduce one measure at a time and complete the reproduction of all measures until the destination, or to reproduce one song at a time.

  Furthermore, as another specific example, a configuration including a determination unit 106 can be given. Based on the travel history of the moving body between the performance points, the determination unit 106 determines at least the superiority with respect to the travel state between the performance points. The superiority with respect to the driving state includes the degree of compliance with the fuel consumption (fuel consumption), the required time, and the excessive speed. “At least” means not only between the production points but also the running state from the starting point to the first production point and the running state from the last production point to the destination. Note that the travel history information of the moving body is acquired by the acquisition unit 108.

  In this case, when the production unit 103 passes the production point, the production unit 103 performs a predetermined production using the determination result by the determination unit 106. In this case, for example, a notification such as “Driving from ○ point to × point is an advanced person”, “Let's reduce the speed a little more”, or scoring the driving state, etc. Can be mentioned. At the time of notification, it is also possible to produce effects such as making different character images appear according to the notification contents. It is also possible to produce effects such as different display colors for roads that have been driven excellently and roads that are not.

  Furthermore, as another specific example, the spot setting unit 102 sets the effect spot as an intersection on the recommended route. The intersection is, for example, an intersection that may require a waiting time, and specifically, an intersection with a traffic light. In this case, when the moving body passes through the effect point (intersection), the effect part 103 performs an effect of giving a point according to the waiting time at the effect point. Specifically, a higher point is given as the waiting time is smaller. Moreover, the production | presentation part 103 may total the provided points and may perform the production which displays a total point in the last production | presentation point and the destination.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the spot setting part 102 may set a production | presentation spot in the position which is the guidance point vicinity on a recommended route, and remove | deviated from the recommended route. In this case, the rendering unit 103 deletes the recommended route, displays a mark for inhibiting entry in advance (hereinafter referred to as “entry deterrence mark”) at the effect point, and the mobile body deviates from the recommended route and enters the entry inhibition mark. When passing a certain point, the vehicle position display indicating the current position of the moving body is extinguished for a predetermined time.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the spot setting unit 102 may set the effect spot at a position within a predetermined range from the recommended route. The predetermined range is a range in which the degree of deviation from the recommended route is allowed for reaching the destination, and is set according to the distance and time to the destination. In this case, the effect point is a position farther from the recommended route than the position where the entry suppression mark is set.

  And the production | generation part 103 performs the production | generation which erases a recommendation route | route, and performs the production | generation which displays a recommendation route | route when a mobile body passes the production | presentation point. That is, the rendering unit 103 performs an effect of displaying the recommended route when the deviation of the moving body from the recommended route exceeds the allowable range. In this configuration, when the moving body passes the effect point, the effect that the recommended route is displayed by the effect unit 103 may be performed, and the route to the destination may be re-searched by the search unit 101.

  Further, in such a configuration, the detection unit 105 and the comparison unit 107 may be provided. The detection unit 105 detects travel history information when traveling on a road different from the recommended route. Based on the travel history information detected by the detection unit 105 and the recommended route information, the comparison unit 107 compares the route when traveling on a road different from the recommended route with the recommended route. The contents to be compared are, for example, the degree of legal compliance due to fuel consumption (fuel consumption), required time, excess speed, and the like. Further, in the configuration including the detection unit 105 and the comparison unit 107, the rendering unit 103 performs a predetermined rendering using the comparison result obtained by the comparison unit 107. For example, the predetermined direction is displayed by superimposing the recommended route and the route actually traveled after reaching the destination, and if the user takes less time, "You win." ”Is given.

  In the present embodiment, mode setting unit 109 presets either one of a mode for performing a predetermined effect (hereinafter referred to as “effect mode”) and a normal mode for performing normal guidance. . The mode is set based on input from the user. The timing of setting the mode can be performed before or during guidance.

On the map screen 510, a starting point 511, a destination 512, and a recommended route 513 from the starting point 511 to the destination 512 are displayed. The selection screen 500 displays a notification indicating whether or not to perform guidance with a game characteristic (guidance in the rendering mode) and guidance for accepting the selection for the guidance of the recommended route 513. When “No” is selected on this display screen, guidance in the normal mode is performed, and when “Yes” is selected, the screen shifts to the display screen shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the display screen displayed on the display 312 shows the screen displayed in step S405 of FIG. 4, that is, the display of the game list. On this display screen, a map screen 510 and a game list display 600 are displayed. Although details of each game shown in the list display 600 will be described later, they will be briefly described. “Treasure GET” is a game that performs an effect of acquiring content when the vehicle passes the effect point, which will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  “Eco Rally” is a game in which an effect is performed using a result of determination of superiority with respect to a running state. The “eco rally” will be described later with reference to FIG. The “obstacle” erases the recommended route, displays an entry suppression mark in the vicinity of the recommended route, and performs an effect of temporarily erasing the vehicle position display when the vehicle passes a point with the entry suppression mark. It is a game. The “obstacle” will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  The “stealth mode” is a game in which the recommended route is erased and the recommended route or the re-searched route is displayed when the vehicle passes an effect point within a predetermined range from the route. The “stealth mode” will be described later with reference to FIGS. “Story” is a game for reproducing a story. The “story” will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the “return” button is selected on this display screen, the screen shifts to the display screen shown in FIG. When the “view details” button is selected, the screen shifts to the display screen shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the display screen displayed on the display 312 describes “Treasure GET”.

On the other hand, when “return” is selected in the selection screen 700, the display screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed.

  The display screen shown in FIG. 8 is a game-in-progress (in-guidance) screen. Specifically, the display screen is the display screen displayed in step S409, that is, the display screen when a mode change is accepted. ing. On this display screen, a current position 801, a recommended route 513, an effect point 803, and a change acceptance button 804 are displayed. When the change acceptance button 804 is selected on this display screen, the screen shifts to the display screen shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, or FIG.

  The display screen shown in FIG. 9 shows the display screen when shifting from step S409 (Yes) to step S414, that is, the display screen when the change from the production mode to the normal mode is accepted. On this display screen, a change confirmation screen 900 and a game result 910 indicating the game situation are displayed. When “Yes” on the change confirmation screen 900 is selected, the mode is changed to the normal mode. At this time, the acquired points, contents, and the like shown in the game result 910 are erased, but these can be recorded.

  The display screen shown in FIG. 10 shows the display screen in step S412, that is, a list of games that can be changed. In the game list display 1000 displayed on the display screen, for example, items such as “story” that cannot be enjoyed during the guidance are deleted.

  The display screen shown in FIG. 11 shows the display screen in step S417, that is, the display screen when the game cannot be changed. Specifically, this display screen displays that the game cannot be changed in the comment display 1100.

  According to the outline of the rendering process described above, since either one of the rendering mode and the normal mode is set in advance, the user selects the rendering mode when there is room or when the user is bored. In addition, the normal mode can be selected when it is desired to obtain detailed information such as when driving on a road that has not traveled much. In addition, when the production mode is selected, a screen with entertainment and interest can be displayed, and the driver and passengers can feel interesting and can drive comfortably.

(Example of effect processing of “treasure GET” performed by CPU in navigation device)
Next, an example of the “treasure GET” effect process performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the “treasure GET” effect process performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300. In addition, the flowchart shown in FIG. 12 demonstrates the process after setting a destination and searching a path | route.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 12, the CPU 301 of the navigation device 300 sets an arbitrary effect point excluding the departure point and the destination point on the searched route (step S1201). The number of production points to be set may be set according to the distance to the destination and the time, but is set to 7, for example. Then, the contents to appear and appear for each of the production points are selected (step S1202). The details of setting the production point and selecting the content will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Then, the current position on the route is detected (step S1203). After that, it waits until the current position is within a predetermined distance from the effect point (step S1204: No loop), and when the current position is within the predetermined distance from the effect point (step S1204: Yes), the content is infested (step). S1205). Details of the display screen in step S1205 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  And it waits until it passes an effect point (step S1206: No loop), and if it passes an effect point (step S1206: Yes), it will memorize | store a content temporarily in memory, such as RAM303 (step S1207), ie, utilization. Acquire content. Details of the display screen when passing the effect point in step S1206 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the effect point is the last effect point (step S1208). When it is determined that it is not the last production point (step S1208: No), the process proceeds to step S1204. When it is determined that it is the last production point (step S1208: Yes), it waits until it reaches the destination (step S1209: No loop), and when it reaches the destination (step S1209: Yes), it is stored in the memory. The content is displayed (step S1210), and the series of processing ends. In the above-described processing, when the vehicle deviates from the route, re-searching is performed and processing starting from step S1201 may be performed.

(Example of setting the production point and selecting content)
Next, an example of setting a production point and selecting content will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing production points set on the route. FIG. 14 is an effect point setting table. FIG. 15 is a content table.

  In FIG. 13, the map screen 1300 displays seven performance points 1304 set at arbitrary positions on the recommended route 1303 from the starting point 1301 to the destination 1302. The production point 1304 may be set at random, but may be arranged at a position other than the vicinity of the guidance point from the viewpoint of not hindering route guidance. Further, from the viewpoint of not getting the user bored, the production points may be arranged at a predetermined interval without being crowded. The production points 1304 are marked with symbols A to G.

  In FIG. 14, an effect point symbol 1401, latitude / longitude information 1402, and a content number 1403 are displayed in the effect point setting table 1400. The effect point symbol 1401 is a symbol displayed at the effect point 1304 shown in FIG. Latitude / longitude information 1402 is information for specifying the location of each production location 1304. The content number 1403 corresponds to the number displayed in the content table shown in FIG. This effect point setting table 1400 is recorded in the RAM 303.

  In FIG. 15, the content table 1500 shows a plurality of contents. The content table 1500 is recorded on the magnetic disk 305. The contents are illustration images such as animals, characters, vehicles, and treasures. This content is selected at random, and set in association with the effect point symbol 1401 in the effect point setting table 1400.

(Example of display screen when content appears and is acquired)
Next, an example of a display screen used when content appears and is acquired will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when content appears and disappears. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when content is acquired.

  The display screen shown in FIG. 16 is the display screen in step S1205 shown in FIG. 12, that is, the display screen when the content appears and disappears. On this display screen, the current position 1601 and the content 1602 arranged at the effect point are displayed on the recommended route 1303. This display screen shows the time when the content 1602 is displayed because the distance between the current position 1601 and the effect point is a predetermined distance.

  The display screen shown in FIG. 17 is the display screen in step S1206 shown in FIG. 12, that is, the display screen when the content 1602 is acquired. In this display screen, the current position 1601 matches the effect point, and the vehicle position mark indicating the current position and the content 1602 are overlapped. In addition, in FIG. 17, although the own vehicle position mark is not illustrated, it is illustrated in practice. When the content 1602 is acquired, it is stored in a memory such as the RAM 303. The content 1602 stored in the memory will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of content stored in the memory. When the vehicle reaches an effect point on the recommended route 1303, the content 1602 is stored in the RAM 303 or the like. When the vehicle reaches the destination, all the stored content 1602 is displayed as treasure acquired by the user.

  In the description of FIGS. 12 to 15 described above, content is set in advance in the effect point setting table 1400. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the content is selected according to the driving state during driving. It may be. Specifically, when traveling on a searched route as scheduled or traveling smoothly than planned, content such as jewelry is selected as content indicating that the route is smooth. If the vehicle runs slower than planned, for example, content such as a monster or a monster may be selected as the content indicating the delay.

  According to the production of “Treasure GET” described above, the content is displayed in the vicinity of the production point, and the production is performed so that the content is acquired when it passes the production point. A screen with sex and interest can be displayed. In addition, since an interesting screen can be displayed only by the route guidance screen, the driver and passengers can feel fun on the display screen. In particular, when a child is on the vehicle, the child can be more entertained.

(Example of “eco rally” effect processing performed by the CPU in the navigation device)
Next, an example of “eco-rally” effect processing performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the “eco rally” effect process performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300. In addition, the flowchart shown in FIG. 19 demonstrates the process after setting a destination and searching a path | route.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 19, the CPU 301 of the navigation device 300 sets the evaluation score that points to the superiority of the running state as L = 0 (step S1901). And the arbitrary some production | presentation points which separated the predetermined distance or more on the searched path | route are set (step S1902). For example, when the communication I / F 313 receives the probe information, the travel information on the route is acquired (step S1903). Then, the travel time k from the departure point to the nearest production point is calculated (step S1904).

  Further, when the vehicle starts traveling and reaches the nearest production point, the time K required for traveling from the departure point to the nearest production point is acquired based on the traveling history (step S1905). Similarly, when there is a stop-by place based on the travel history (step S1906: Yes), the actual travel time K ′ is calculated by subtracting the stop-off time M from the travel time K (step S1907). Then, it is determined whether or not the actual travel time K ′ is within a predetermined range (step S1908). Note that α that determines the predetermined range may be constant, or may be a variable that varies depending on, for example, the distance between performance points or the congestion of the road. In step S1906, when there is no stopover place (step S1906: No), the process proceeds to step S1908.

  When it is determined that the actual travel time K ′ is within the predetermined range (step S1908: Yes), 10 points are added to the evaluation score (step S1909). On the other hand, when the actual travel time K ′ is not within the predetermined range (step S1908: No), 10 points are subtracted from the evaluation score (step S1910). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the destination has been reached (step S1911). If the destination has not been reached (step S1911: NO), it is determined whether or not the next nearest production point is the destination (step S1912). On the other hand, in step S1911, when the destination is reached (step S1911: Yes), an effect of displaying the total evaluation score is performed (step S1917), and the series of processing ends.

  If it is determined that the next nearest production point is not the destination (step S1912: No), the travel time k from the previous nearest production point to the next nearest point is calculated (step S1913). When the next nearest production point is reached, the travel time K required from the previous nearest production point to the next nearest production point is acquired based on the running history (step S1914), and the process proceeds to step S1906. To do.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1912 that the next nearest production point is the destination (step S1912: Yes), the travel time k from the previous nearest production point to the destination is calculated (step S1915). When the destination is reached, the travel time K required from the previous nearest production point to the destination is acquired based on the travel history (step S1916), and the process proceeds to step S1906. In this case, as processing after step S1906, after step S1909 or step S1910, without making the determination of step S1911, an effect of displaying the total evaluation score in step S1917 is performed, and the series of processing ends.

  In the above-described processing, after reaching the destination, an effect of displaying the total evaluation score is performed, but after passing each effect point, the evaluation score for the travel between the effect points is displayed each time. You may make an effect.

  According to the production of “eco-rally” described above, the production is performed using the result of the required time as the judgment of excellence, so that the user can feel interesting by evaluating the running state. At the same time, you can try to drive safely.

(Example of “obstacle” rendering process performed by CPU in navigation device)
Next, an example of “obstacle” effect processing performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 20. FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an “obstacle” effect process performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300. In addition, the flowchart shown in FIG. 20 demonstrates the process after setting a destination and searching a path | route.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 20, the CPU 301 of the navigation device 300 extracts a guide point (branch point) on the searched route (step S2001). Then, for a road other than the traveling direction on the route at the guidance point, a bomb mark, an entry prohibition mark, and the like as an entry suppression mark are plotted (set) as an effect point (step S2002). Details of the display screen in step S2002 will be described later with reference to FIG. 21, but the searched recommended route is not displayed. Thereafter, the vehicle starts traveling and detects the current position on the route (step S2003).

  And it waits until it approaches within a predetermined distance from a guidance point (step S2004: No loop), and when it approaches within a predetermined distance from a guidance point (step S2004: Yes), it does not advance to the direction of an entry prohibition mark and a bomb mark. Arouses (step S2005). Details of the display screen in step S2005 will be described later with reference to FIG. If the bomb mark and the entry prohibition mark are not passed (step S2006: No), it is notified that the guide point has been passed correctly (step S2007).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not it is the last guide point (step S2008). If it is not the last guide point (step S2008: No), the process proceeds to step S2004. When it is the last guide point (step S2008: Yes), it waits until it reaches the destination (step S2009: No loop), and when it reaches the destination (step S2009: Yes), a series of processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the bomb mark, the entry prohibition mark, or the like is passed in step S2006 (step S2006: Yes), the fact that the guide point has not been correctly passed is notified and the vehicle position display is extinguished (step S2006). S2010). Details of the display screen in step S2010 will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the route is searched again (step S2011). Details of the display screen in step S2011 will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the vehicle position is displayed again (step S2012), and the process proceeds to step S2001.

(An example of the display screen when staging "obstacles")
Next, with reference to FIGS. 21 to 24, an example of a display screen at the time of production of “obstacle” will be described. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when plotting bomb marks, entry prohibition marks, and the like as performance points. The display screen shown in FIG. 21 is the display screen in step S2002 shown in FIG. On this display screen, a vehicle position display 2101 indicating the current position of the vehicle, a bomb mark 2102 and an entry prohibition mark 2103 are displayed, and a recommended route is not displayed. In such a display screen, when approaching the guide point, the display screen shown in FIG. 22 is displayed.

  FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when arousing not to proceed in the direction of the entry prohibition mark and the bomb mark. FIG. 22 shows the display screen in step S2005 shown in FIG. On this display screen, an enlarged display 2200 and a wide area display 2210 are displayed. In the enlarged display 2200, a bomb mark 2102 is displayed in the left-right turn direction of the guidance intersection 2201. Even if the recommended route is not displayed on this display screen, the driver knows that the right / left turn direction is not the recommended route direction. Also, from the alert that “the direction of the bomb mark is not the route”, it can be seen that the direction is not the direction of the recommended route. The wide area display 2210 is the same screen as the display screen shown in FIG. 21 although the display area is small. On this display screen, the vehicle proceeds in the direction of turning left and right, and when the vehicle is located at a point (effect point) with a bomb mark, the display screen shown in FIG. 23 is displayed.

  FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when an effect of eliminating the own vehicle position display is performed. FIG. 23 shows the display screen in step S2010 shown in FIG. This display screen shows a display in which the vehicle position is located at the production point and the bomb has exploded. Then, a display indicating that the direction is not the recommended route is displayed. Then, after performing the effect of erasing the vehicle position display 2101 for a predetermined time, when the route to the destination is searched again, the display screen shown in FIG. 24 is displayed.

  FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when a route is re-searched. FIG. 24 shows the display screen in step S2011 shown in FIG. In this display screen, the positions of the bomb mark 2102 and the entry prohibition mark 2103 are also changed by changing the recommended route. Thereafter, when approaching the guide point, the screen shown in FIG. 23 is displayed.

  According to the “obstacle” effect described above, the recommended route is erased, and at least when the vehicle deviates from the recommended route and passes a point with an entry suppression mark, the vehicle position display indicating the current location of the vehicle is displayed. Since the effect of annihilating for a predetermined time is performed, the guidance form itself can be made novel by not displaying the recommended route, so that an interesting guidance can be performed.

(An example of “stealth mode” effect processing performed by the CPU in the navigation device)
Next, an example of “stealth mode” effect processing performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 25. FIG. 25 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the “stealth mode” effect process performed by the CPU 301 in the navigation device 300. Note that the flowchart shown in FIG. 25 describes processing after setting a destination and searching for a route.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 25, the CPU 301 of the navigation device 300 records information related to the searched recommended route (step S2501). Then, the entire searched recommended route is displayed superimposed on the map (step S2502). Further, an effect point is set within a predetermined range off the route (step S2503). The predetermined range is a range in which the degree of deviation from the recommended route is allowed for reaching the destination, and is set according to the distance and time to the destination. Specifically, the effect point is set at a position away from the recommended route by a predetermined distance or a position on the road where a delay of a predetermined time or more is expected to reach the destination when traveling on a certain road.

  Thereafter, the process waits until a predetermined time elapses (step S2504: No loop). When the predetermined time elapses (step S2504: Yes), an effect of deleting the recommended route from the screen is performed (step S2505). The predetermined time is a time for presenting a recommended route to the user, and is a time set in advance as 10 seconds, for example. Note that this predetermined time can be changed by the user, for example, 0 seconds, that is, the recommended route may not be displayed on the screen.

  Thereafter, the vehicle starts traveling and detects the current position on the route (step S2506). And it is judged whether it passed the production | presentation point (step S2507). If it has not passed the performance point (step S2507: No), the link information, the node information, and the information indicating the traveling direction of the actually traveled road are stored in the magnetic disk 305 (step S2508). Then, it is determined whether or not the destination has been reached (step S2509). If it is determined that the destination has not been reached (step S2509: No), the process proceeds to step S2507, and the processes in steps S2507 and S2508 are repeated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2507 that the effect point has been passed (step S2507: Yes), the game is over (step S2510), and an effect of displaying the recommended route is performed (step S2511). Details of the display screens in steps S2510 and S2511 will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the route from the current point is searched again (step S2512), guidance to the destination is performed (step S2513), and the series of processes is terminated.

  If the destination is reached in step S2509 (step S2509: Yes), the arrival time of the destination is detected (step S2514). Differences in arrival time and travel distance between the actually traveled route and the recommended route are calculated (step S2515). Note that the calculation in step S2515 may include the fuel used and the degree of legal compliance. Then, a route actually traveled is created from the information accumulated in step S2508 (step S2516). Then, the comparison result between the recommended route and the actually traveled route is superimposed on the map and displayed (step S2517), and the series of processing ends. Details of the display screen in step S2517 will be described later with reference to FIG.

(An example of the display screen during the production of "Stealth Mode")
Next, with reference to FIG. 26 and FIG. 27, an example of a display screen at the time of producing the “stealth mode” will be described. FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when the game is over. The display screen shown in FIG. 26 shows the display screen in steps S2510 and S2511 shown in FIG. On this display screen, a comment display 2600 and a map screen 2610 are displayed.

  The comment display 2600 displays that the game is over. On the map screen 2610, a recommended route 2611, a balloon 2612 indicating that the route is recommended, a route 2613 actually traveled, and an effect point 2614 as the current position are displayed. Note that the comment display 2600 and the recommended route 2611 are not displayed until the vehicle is separated from the recommended route 2611 by a predetermined distance, that is, until the vehicle passes the effect point 2614, and only the actually traveled route 2613 is displayed on the map screen 2610. Has been. Thereafter, a route from the production point 2614 to the destination is searched, and guidance to the destination is performed.

  FIG. 27 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a display screen in which a comparison result between the recommended route and the actually traveled route is superimposed on a map. FIG. 27 shows the display screen in step S2517 shown in FIG. On this display screen, a comment display 2700 and a map screen 2710 are displayed. The comment display 2700 displays a notification that the user has lost and a comparison result between the actually traveled route and the recommended route.

  In addition, when the required route is shorter than the recommended route on the actually traveled route, a notification that the user has won is notified. Note that winning or losing may be determined using only the required time, or may be determined using the total points as points of time and travel distance. As described above, the fuel used, the degree of legal compliance, etc. are also converted into points, and all these points can be used.

  The map screen 2710 displays a recommended route 2711 and a route 2712 actually traveled. With such a display screen, the user can easily grasp the comparison between the actually traveled route and the recommended route.

  According to the effect of the above-mentioned “stealth mode”, when the vehicle passes an effect point set at a position within a predetermined range from the recommended route, an effect to display the recommended route is performed. In addition to being able to obtain interest by traveling in a state where the recommended route is not displayed, the recommended route can be displayed and guided to the destination when being away from the recommended route.

  In addition, based on the travel history information when traveling on a road different from the recommended route and the recommended route information, the performance was performed using the comparison result comparing the actually traveled route and the recommended route. Therefore, the recommended route searched by the navigation device 300 and the route traveled by the user can be given superiority or inferiority, and the user can drive while looking forward to the comparison result.

(Story overview)
Next, the outline of the “story” will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of “story”. The “story” rendering process (flowchart) is not illustrated and will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 shows a departure place 2801, a destination 2802, a route 2803 from the departure place to the destination, and a production point 2804.

  When the departure place 2801 and the destination 2802 are set, the route 2803 is searched. A story is selected according to the required time to the destination 2802 (for example, 15 minutes). Note that a table in which the required time to the destination 2802 and the story are associated with each other is recorded on the magnetic disk 305 in advance. Then, at a predetermined time interval (for example, 5 minutes), for example, in order to read out each measure of a story of a total of 4 bars, a point that reaches every 5 minutes is set on the route 2803 as an effect point 2804.

  When the user leaves the departure place 2801, the first measure is read out. And when it passes the production | presentation point 2804, the 2nd measure and the 3rd measure are read aloud, respectively. When the destination 2802 is reached, the fourth measure is read out. The production is not limited to reading a story, and music can be reproduced. When playing music, it may be played for each measure as in the story described above, or may be played for each song from a predetermined genre, for example.

  According to the “story” production described above, the production of playing a story or music is performed, so the user is expected to reach the production point even when traveling on a monotonous recommended route. Feel the feeling and enjoy driving.

  In the above description, “treasure GET”, “eco rally”, “obstacle”, “stealth mode”, and “story” have been described, but it is also possible to produce an effect of acquiring points. Specifically, an effect point is set at an arbitrary intersection on the route, and when the vehicle passes through the effect point (intersection), a higher point is given as the waiting time at the effect point is smaller. Then, when the destination is reached, the total number of points is presented. According to such an effect, the waiting time of the traffic light can be grasped as, for example, an indicator of luck or bad luck, and interesting guidance can be performed.
