  Conventionally, in a route guidance service, a transfer guidance service, etc., when a place to be guided is specified, data relating to the place is often presented in a list, and the content includes information on the place (point, route, facility, etc.) ) Only. In addition, there is a technique for transmitting information at a specific time, but there is no system for processing the information according to the conditions of the information itself by attaching conditions such as presentation of the information.

  Accordingly, the present inventors have disclosed Japanese Patent Application No. 11-113191 “Guidance information presentation device, guidance information presentation processing method, recording medium recording a guidance information presentation program, guidance script recording medium, guidance script generation device, Operation management device using guidance script, method and program recording medium thereof, time adjustment device and method during movement using guidance script, program recording medium thereof, guidance plan creation device, method and program recording medium thereof, guidance "Information providing apparatus, method and program recording medium thereof" can describe a series of instructions including time information or / and location information and guidance information to be output according to the time or / and location to be presented We proposed a script for guidance and a system to interpret and execute it.

  As a result, not only information on points, routes, facilities, etc., but also practical guidance or virtual guidance along the route to a certain place can be provided, and further guidance not only on the movement of the place but also with the passage of time. It has become possible to provide guidance in a format that can be used by various systems and devices. For example, by specifying only the destination, guidance such as “This facility is famous for XX” at the waypoints along the route, or “△△ in 3 minutes before arrival” It is possible to present guidance according to the time / place to be presented, create guidance data for it, and distribute it easily.

[Outline of guidance script]
In the present invention, a series of instructions of data (text data, image data, audio data, etc.) of time, place, and guidance information recorded in various formats is described using a markup language description format.

  Instructions include time (eg, departure time, transit time, arrival time, start time, end time, etc.), location (eg, departure point, transit point, arrival point, intersection, transfer point, facility location, etc.), various It is a unit of a script whose constituent elements are guide information including one shot of media data (map, text, voice, music, image, video, etc.) and partial data. For example, in a point A on a certain route, information indicating that “when the user is at the point A, voice data (aaa.wav) and image data (xxx.jpg) describing the point A is output” is indicated. .

  In the present invention, such a series of instructions described using a description format of a markup language such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is referred to as a guidance script (or navigation script).

  The guidance script described in the following example is defined as a subset of extensible markup language XML (eXtensible Markup Language) established in W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The outline of this guidance script language will be described below.

  The guidance script is configured using tags, attributes, and contents, and is described, for example, as shown in a specific example (example-04 — 06.nav) of the guidance script described later. Here, for example, <naviscript version = "0.3"> or </ naviscript> or <title> or </ title> enclosed in <and> is called a tag. Tags that do not start with </ are called start tags, and tags that start with </ are called end tags. Start and end tags are used in pairs, such as <naviscript version = "0.3"> and </ naviscript> or <title> and </ title>. This pair is called a tag set.

  Also, something like version in <naviscript version = "0.3"> is called the attribute of that tag, and something like 0.3 is called the value of that attribute.

  The guide script is described by a hierarchical structure of a tag set that is a pair. If there is no tag set in the part sandwiched between tag sets, the part is called the contents of the tag.

  For example, suppose that there is the following guidance script.

<inst>
<time> ○ </ time>
<info> □ </ info>
</ inst>
In this guidance script, the part between <inst> and </ inst> surrounded by <time> and </ time> (○), and the part surrounded by <info></info> (□) Means that “guidance information of □ is output at the time of ○”.

Also,
<inst>
<point> ○ </ point>
<info> □ </ info>
</ inst>
In the guidance script like this, the part between <inst> and </ inst> surrounded by <point> and </ point> (○) and the part surrounded by <info></info> ( □) means that “Guidance information of □ is output at the place of ○”.

  In the present invention, as will be described in detail later, in the description of <time> and <point> as described above, it is possible to describe constraint information by attributes such as importance = “high” or importance = “low”. , The location is adjusted automatically.

[Example of device configuration]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the present invention.

  The guidance script is stored in an external server device or the like, and is read into the terminal 10 via the network 31. Further, it may be stored in various media 32 such as a magnetic disk or a CD-ROM and read into the terminal 10. Moreover, the user of the terminal 10 may input directly.

  The operation input unit 11 of the terminal 10 selects a user's desired one from guidance scripts managed by an external server device via the network access unit 12 in response to the user's operation input, Alternatively, a user's desired one is selected from guidance scripts stored in various media 32 via the media access unit 13, and the selected guidance script is input and passed to the script conversion unit 14. Alternatively, it may be input directly from the user via the operation input unit 11 and passed to the script conversion unit 14.

  The script conversion unit 14 parses the guidance script and converts it into structured data for guidance. Since the structured data for guidance is substantially equivalent to the guidance script, conversion by the script conversion unit 14 is not essential.

  In the situation where the user is actually using the guidance script while moving (in the navigation mode), the instruction execution unit 15 receives the current situation (current time and current) from the situation acquisition unit 16. And the route information of the structured data for guidance is supplemented, and guidance information is output from the guidance output unit 19 based on the structured data for guidance according to the situation. For example, GPS (Global Positionig System) can be used to acquire the current location by the situation acquisition unit 16. When two points are given by the guidance script, the route between them is, for example, a known route search used in a car navigation system by using map information stored in the database unit 20. Can be determined using technology.

  When the user uses the guidance script in a virtual situation (in the simulation mode), the instruction execution unit 15 obtains a virtual current time or a virtual current point from the situation generation unit 17 for guidance. The route information of the structured data is complemented and guidance is output from the guidance output unit 19. The virtual current time can be generated, for example, by causing the user to specify a start time and a time step width, which is a unit for advancing the time, or based on a time step width or condition set in advance in the system. In addition, the virtual current location (location information about where you are currently) is automatically determined based on the progress of the virtual current time and the speed of the vehicle described in the guidance script, the moving speed specified by the user, etc. Can be generated.

  Which of the navigation mode and the simulation mode is selected is determined by an input from the operation input unit 11.

  The constraint adjustment unit 18 uses a current time / current location obtained from the situation acquisition unit 16 or the situation generation unit 17, time information / location information of structured data for guidance, and constraint information related to the predetermined time. Adjust the time / location by modifying the time / location information according to the adjustment conditions.

For example, there is a guidance script that provides route guidance such as a XX tour from Tokyo Station to the Rainbow Bridge via the Kyobashi Interchange (IC).
(1) Output of voice data “It is Tokyo Station” at Tokyo Station,
(2) Two minutes later, the audio data “Welcome to XX Tour” is output, and the tour summary image data is displayed.
(3) Output of voice data “It is Kyobashi IC” at Kyobashi IC,
(4) Output of voice data “I will soon be a rainbow bridge” 3km before the rainbow bridge,
(5) Output of voice data “Rainbow Bridge” with Rainbow Bridge,
......, it is assumed that an instruction for instructing is described.

  When the operation input unit 11 reads out the guidance script from the guidance script management center via the network 31 or the like according to a user's instruction and starts executing the script, the script conversion unit 14 converts the guidance script. Generate structured data for guidance. Based on the structured data for guidance, the instruction execution unit 15 first extracts a description about a point or route in the instruction, and displays a route outline with reference to the database unit 20 in which map information and the like are stored. Thereafter, the current location and current time of the user are acquired from the situation acquisition unit 16 by GPS (Global Positionig System) or the like, and instructions are processed accordingly. As a result, the location where the user is located is “Tokyo Station” at Tokyo Station, and when two minutes have passed, “Welcome to XX Tour”, the guidance output unit 19 will provide guidance by voice, and image data of the tour summary will be displayed. indicate. Furthermore, at Kyobashi IC, “It is Kyobashi IC”, “Soon it is a rainbow bridge” 3 km before the rainbow bridge, and when it arrives at the rainbow bridge, it will be guided by voice. Therefore, the user can receive an appropriate guidance at an appropriate place at an appropriate time when moving along the route of the XX tour.

  This guide script is easy to read and write, as with existing markup languages, and is easy to search and process. Therefore, it is clear to the creator that what the guidance script data means and the sequence of instructions described therein are described in the order to be guided.

  In addition, instructions can be rearranged, serialized, parallelized, optimized, etc., data structured (stratified, grouped), etc., and guidance on various times and places can be presented. Guide information can be easily created and modified.

  In addition, a single guide script can be used in various devices and systems to convert a guide script acquired from a center or the like that provides and provides a large number of guide scripts into structured data for the guide corresponding to the terminal itself. can do.

  On the other hand, for the user, it becomes clear that the guidance is presented along the sequence of instructions (time sequence or / and location sequence), and more suitable guidance can be obtained at an appropriate timing. Furthermore, not only can the guidance information be obtained along the actual position in the navigation mode, but also a route guidance can be virtually experienced in the simulation mode.

  This guidance script can be easily created and edited using an existing text editor. By registering the generated guidance script in the center or the like, the guidance script can be transmitted via a network or the like. , Anyone can use the guidance information anywhere.

[Overview of the processing of the constraint adjustment unit]
The processing and operation algorithm of the constraint adjusting unit 18 which is the most main part of the system configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. The important point of the processing by the constraint adjusting unit 18 is that there is a contradiction in the time or / and location described in the time information or / and location information of the guidance script when interpreting the guidance script (structured data for guidance). In this case, adjustment is made so that the contradiction is resolved according to the description of the constraint information called importance here. Also, when the guidance script is executed, if it is difficult or impossible to advance the guidance according to the schedule described in the guidance script according to the actual situation, for example, a certain point is started. It has a function that automatically adjusts the schedule, such as delaying the time or changing to a guide that omits a stop at a certain point.

(A) Constraint adjustment processing during interpretation FIG. 2 shows a processing flow of constraint adjustment processing during interpretation of the guidance script. The constraint adjusting unit 18 interprets the guidance script (structured data for guidance) if the arrival time, stay time, and departure time of each time are inconsistent (step S1), that is, the arrival time at a certain point. , Stay time and departure time are specified, and if departure time-arrival time ≠ stay time, either arrival time, stay time, or departure time is modified according to the importance setting of time (Step S2). Fig. 3 shows an example of modification based on the time importance setting.

(1) For example, if structured data for guidance is set
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
In this case, since departure time d−arrival time a = stay time p is not satisfied, a contradiction occurs. At this time, arrival time a (arrive-time), stay time p (period-of-stay), and departure time d (departure-time) are not set to time.importance = "high". The time a and the departure time d are not corrected, and p = da and the stay time p is
period-of-stay: = "3hous"
To correct.

(2) Also, for example, if structured data for guidance is set,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
departure-time.importance = "high"
In this case, since time.importance = “high” is set at the departure time d, the arrival time a and the departure time d are not corrected, and p = da and the stay time p is
period-of-stay: = "3hous"
To correct.

(3) For example, if structured data for guidance is set,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
period-of-stay.importance = "high"
In this case, since time.importance = “high” is set for the stay time p, the arrival time a and the stay time p are not corrected, and d = a + p and the departure time d is
departure-time: = "13:00"
To correct.

(4) For example, if structured data for guidance is set
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
arrive-time.importance = "high"
In this case, since time.importance = “high” is set at the arrival time a, the arrival time a and the departure time d are not corrected, and p = da, and the stay time p is
period-of-stay: = "3hous"
To correct.

(5) For example, if structured data for guidance is set,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
period-of-stay.importance = "high"
departure-time.importance = "high"
In this case, since time.importance = “high” is set for the stay time p and the departure time d, the arrival time is set as a = d−p without correcting the stay time p and the departure time d. About a
arrive-time: = "12:00"
To correct.

(6) For example, if structured data for guidance is set,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
arrive-time.importance = "high"
departure-time.importance = "high"
In this case, since time.importance = “high” is set for the arrival time a and the departure time d, the arrival time a and the departure time d are not corrected, and the stay time is set as p = da. For p,
period-of-stay: = "3hous"
To correct.

(7) For example, if structured data for guidance is set,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
arrive-time.importance = "high"
period-of-stay.importance = "high"
In this case, since time.importance = “high” is set in the arrival time a and the stay time p, the arrival time a and the stay time p are not corrected, and d = a + p and the departure time delay d about,
departure-time: = "13:00"
To correct.

(8) For example, if structured data for guidance is set,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "2hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
arrive-time.importance = "high"
period-of-stay.importance = "high"
departure-time.importance = "high"
When time.importance = “high” is set for any of arrival time a, stay time p, and departure time d, the arrival time a and departure time d are not corrected, and p = As da, about the stay time p,
period-of-stay: = "3hous"
To correct.

(B) Constraint adjustment processing at the time of execution FIGS. 4 and 5 show a processing flow of the constraint adjustment processing at the time of execution.

  At the time of execution, the constraint adjustment unit 18 compares the current time / current location obtained from the situation acquisition unit 16 or the situation generation unit 17 with the time information / location information of the structured data for guidance, and this point (point When there is room for the arrival time (), the following processing is performed.

(1) If the structured data for guidance is set to departure-time: importance = low and period-of-stay: importance = low / high (step S11), is the margin subtracted from the departure-time? , Or adding a margin to period-of-stay (step S12). For example,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "3hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
However, if you have 1 hour to arrive at 10:00,
departure-time: = 14:00-1hour = 13:00
To correct or
period-of-stay: = 3hour + 1hour = 4hour
Either correct it or do one of the following: Whether to correct the departure time or the stay time may be in accordance with a preset setting, or the user may be inquired each time.

(2) If the guidance structured data is set to department-time: importance = high and period-of-stay: importance = low / high (step S13), the period-of-stay has a margin. Are added (step S14). For example,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "3hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
However, if you have 1 hour to arrive at 10:00,
period-of-stay: = 3hour + 1hour = 4hour
To correct.

  At the time of execution, the current time / current point obtained from the situation acquisition unit 16 or the situation generation unit 17 is compared with the time information / location information of the structured data for guidance, and the arrival-time of this point is not in time In this case, the following processing is performed.

(1) If the setting of structured data for guidance is departure-time: importance = low and period-of-stay: importance = low (step S21), a delay is added to the departure-time, or period One of the processes of subtracting the delay amount from -of-stay as much as possible and adding only the amount that could not be departure-time subtracted is performed (step S22). For example,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "3hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
However, if there was a delay of 1 hour because it arrived at 12:00,
departure-time: = 14:00 + 1hour = 15:00
To correct or
period-of-stay: = 3hour-1hour = 2hour
Either correct it or do one of the following:

Also, if you arrive at 15:00 and have a delay of 4 hours,
departure-time: = 14:00 + 4hour = 18:00
To correct or
period-of-stay: = 3hour-3hour = 0hour
departure-time: = 14:00 + 1hour = 15:00
Either correct it or do one of the following:

(2) If the structured data for guidance is set to departure-time: importance = low and period-of-stay: importance = high (step S23), a delay is added to the departure-time (step S24). ). For example,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "3hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
However, if there was a delay of 1 hour because it arrived at 12:00,
departure-time: = 14:00 + 1hour = 15:00
To correct.

(3) Structured data for guidance is set to departure-time: importance = high
And if point: importance = low (step S25), the delay is subtracted from period-of-stay as much as possible and the part-time cannot be subtracted, or the route to that point is passed. Either of the processing is omitted (step S26). For example,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "3hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
However, if there was a delay of 1 hour because it arrived at 12:00,
period-of-stay: = 3hour-1hour = 2hour
Then, either correct or skip the route to that point.

Also, if you arrive at 15:00 and have a delay of 4 hours,
period-of-stay: = 3hour-3hour = 0hour
departure-time: = 14:00 + 1hour = 15:00
Then, either correct or skip the route to that point.

(4) If the structured data for guidance is set to departure-time: importance = high and point: importance = high (step S27), the delay is subtracted from the period-of-stay as much as possible, and The departure-time is added by the amount that could not be subtracted (step S28). For example,
arrive-time = "11:00"
period-of-stay = "3hour"
departure-time = "14:00"
However, if there was a delay of 1 hour because it arrived at 12:00,
period-of-stay: = 3hour-1hour = 2hour
To correct. Also, if you arrive at 15:00 and have a delay of 4 hours,
period-of-stay: = 3hour-3hour = 0hour
departure-time: = 14:00 + 1hour = 15:00
To correct.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the display screen of the terminal 10. In accordance with the schedule, the display screen displays the planned moving location, the estimated time of arrival at the location, moving means, a map, and the like, and also shows the location the user is currently moving. In the travel schedule of Rainbow Town Tour starting from Kaihin Makuhari as shown in FIG. 6, the current user is moving on foot from Tokyo Station to Yaesu, and the current time at that time is displayed. In this case, although it is scheduled to depart from Yaesu at 10:30, it is clear that it is not in time at the present time (10:45). Do you want to reschedule according to importance? " On the other hand, when the user answers “Yes”, the time adjustment as described above is performed based on the constraint information described in the guidance script in advance.

First, in the first half of the guide script from <navi> to </ navi>, the title, version, etc. of the guide script are defined, and the instructions defined in this guide script are defined.

  Next, the contents of each instruction are defined after </ navi> of the guidance script. For example, the first instruction “inst-info-Introduction” indicates that after 5 seconds from the departure time, a guidance message “Welcome to Rainbow Town Tour!” Is output.

  The next instruction "inst-point-Kaihin Makuhari Station" indicates that you are at Kaihin Makuhari Station at 9:00 and you are traveling on the Keiyo Line.

The next instruction "inst-point-Tokyo Station"
<time importane = "high"> 10:00 </ time>
<point importance = "high">
It is important to arrive at Tokyo Station at 10:00.

The tenth instruction "inst-objet-restaurant"
if = "(ref (inst-point-daiba IC # time) & ge 11:30) &&
(ref (inst-point-Daiba IC # time) & le 13:30) ">
<time importance = "low"> 1hour30min </ time>
The eleventh instruction "inst-objet-cafe" is
if = "(ref (inst-point-Daiba IC # time) & lt 11:30) ｜｜
(ref (inst-point-Daiba IC # time) & gt 13:30) ">
<time importance = "low"> 45min </ time>
Is specified. If the arrival time of the Daiba IC is between 11:30 and 13:30, the restaurant information is output. If the arrival time of the Daiba IC is before 11:30 or after 13:30, the cafe information is output. Means output.

  In these instructions, the attribute importance specifying the importance is specified for <time> which means the time to be guided.

  importance is an attribute that specifies the importance of the time, takes values of high and low, and the default value is high.

  The following designation means that both arriving at 11:00 and leaving at 13:30 are important.

<time importance = "high"> 11: 00-13: 30 </ time>
The following designation also means that it is important to arrive at 11:00, but it is not important to leave at 13:30.

<time importance = "high"> 11: 00- </ time>
<time importance = "low"> -13: 30 </ time>
In addition, the following designation means that a stay of 1 hour 30 minutes is not important.

<time importance = "low"> 1hour30min </ time>
When interpreting the above-mentioned guidance script, there is no contradiction in the designation of the script, so the tenth and eleventh instruction parts are converted into the following structured data for guidance.

naviscript.navi.inst [10] .id
= "inst-object-restaurant";
naviscript.navi.inst [10] .if
= "(ref (inst-point- Daiba IC # time) & ge 11:30) &&
(ref (inst-point- Daiba IC # time) & le 13:30) ";
naviscript.navi.inst [10] .time.period-of-stay
= "1hour30min";
naviscript.navi.inst [10] .time.period-of-stay.importance
= "low";
naviscript.navi.inst [10] .point.id
= "object-restaurant";
...

naviscript.navi.inst [11] .id
= "inst-object-cafe";
naviscript.navi.inst [11] .if
= "(ref (inst-point- Daiba IC # time) & lt 11:30) ｜｜
(ref (inst-point- Daiba IC # time) & gt 13:30) ";
naviscript.navi.inst [11] .object.id
= "object-cafe";
naviscript.navi.inst [11] .time.period-of-stay
= "45min";
naviscript.navi.inst [11] .time.period-of-stay.importance
= "low";
...
When executing the guidance script, the constraint adjusting unit 18 performs the following processing based on the modification example shown in FIG.

  (a) If the arrival time of the Daiba IC is 11:45, either subtract the margin (15 min) from the departure time 13:30 and set the departure time to 13:15, or leave the time to stay Add minutes and set the stay time to 1hour45min.

  (b) If the arrival time of the Daiba IC is 12:15, add the delay (15 min) to the departure time 13:30 and set the departure time to 13:45, or delay from the stay time Subtract minutes and set the stay time to 1hour15min.
