  As shown in FIG. 4, when the terminal device 100 transmits a route search condition to the server device 200 (step SB-1), similarly to the processing of steps SA-1 to SA-3 described above, the server device 200 The route search condition is received (step SB-2), and a route from the departure place to the destination that satisfies the route search condition is searched based on the network data stored in the network database 206a (step SB-3). . Then, similarly to the processing of steps SA-4 to SA-7 described above, the server device 200 generates route guidance information based on the searched route (step SB-4), and the generated route guidance information is transmitted to the terminal. When transmitted to the device 100 (step SB-5), the terminal device 100 stores the received route guidance information in the route guidance information file 106a (step SB-6), and executes route guidance based on the route guidance information. Is started (step SB-7).

  Then, the terminal status information transmission unit 102e of the terminal device 100 transmits the current location information acquired by the current location information acquisition unit 102a as terminal status information to the server device 200 (step SB-8). For example, the terminal status information transmission unit 102e transmits the current location information of the terminal device 100 acquired by the current location information acquisition unit 102a as terminal status information at every update or periodically.

  And the terminal status information receiving part 202e of the server apparatus 200 receives the present position information transmitted from the terminal device 100 (step SB-9).

  Then, the guidance end determination unit 202f of the server device 200 determines whether or not it has arrived around the destination based on the current position information received by the terminal status information reception unit 202e, whereby the route guidance by the terminal device 100 is performed. Is determined (step SB-10). For example, the guidance end determination unit 202f has reached the current position based on the current position information received by the terminal status information receiving unit 202e within a predetermined distance range of the destination of the route search condition (for example, within 50 m from the destination). In this case, it may be determined that the route guidance has been completed after arriving near the destination. Further, the guidance end determination unit 202f departs the route after the current position based on the current location information received by the terminal status information receiving unit 202e exceeds the final guidance point based on the route guidance information, and is within a predetermined distance range of the destination. In some cases, it may be determined that the route guidance has ended after arriving near the destination. For example, when the route guidance information includes guidance data output at the timing when the current position reaches the guidance point on the guidance route, the guidance end determination unit 202f determines the final guidance point (for example, TBT or the like) based on the route guidance information. If you have crossed the guidance route after crossing the last branch point of the turning point where you should turn left and right, and if you have reached the predetermined distance range of the destination, determine that you have arrived near the destination and that route guidance has ended May be.

  If the guidance end determination unit 202f determines that the destination has not arrived around the destination (No at Step SB-10), the terminal status information reception unit 202e of the server device 200 receives the updated current position information. (Step SB-9), the guidance end determination unit 202f makes a determination again based on the updated current position information (Step SB-10).

  If the guidance end determination unit 202f determines that the destination has arrived around the destination (step SB-10, Yes), the destination information storage unit 202g of the server device 200 has already been registered from the destination history database 206c. A history of destination information is read (step SB-11), and it is determined whether or not the current destination has been registered (step SB-12). For example, the destination information storage unit 202g may determine that the destination has been registered when the location information (latitude and longitude, etc.) of the destination matches.

  When it is determined that the current destination is registered (step SB-12, Yes), the destination information storage unit 202g of the server device 200 updates only the last use date and records it in the destination history database 206c. (Step SB-16). On the other hand, when it is determined that the current destination is unregistered (step SB-12, No), the destination information storage unit 202g of the server device 200 determines whether or not there is a free capacity in the destination history database 206c. Determine (step SB-13). For example, the destination information storage unit 202g determines whether or not the free space for registration in the destination history database 206c is larger than the capacity of the destination information scheduled to be registered.

  If it is determined that there is free space for the current destination information (step SB-13, Yes), the destination information storage unit 202g of the server device 200 includes the destination information including the current location information. Information is registered in an empty area of the destination history database 206c (step SB-14). On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no free space for the current destination information (step SB-13, No), the destination information storage unit 202g of the server device 200 displays the destination registered in the destination history database 206c. The oldest information in the information (destination information with the oldest update date) is deleted, and the current destination information is overwritten (step SB-15).

  As described above, the server device 200 arrives at the periphery of the destination based on the current position information of the terminal device 100 and ends the route guidance (step SB-17), and stores the destination information in the destination history database 206c. sign up.

  The above is an example of the process of the destination history registration system using the current position information as the terminal status information in the first embodiment. In the above example, the server device 200 determines whether or not the destination has arrived around the destination based on the current position information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the terminal device 100 uses the current position information to determine the destination. It may be determined whether or not the vehicle has arrived in the vicinity, and the determination result may be transmitted to the server device 200.

  This is the end of the description of the processing of the first embodiment.

Since it is the same as that of embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, each function of the storage unit 406 (the network database 406a, the map database 406b, the destination history database 406c, etc.) is different from that of the storage unit 406 except that it is provided in the destination history registration device 400 instead of the server device 200. However, since it is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In addition, with regard to each part of the control unit 402, each function is an aggregation of the functions of the control unit of the terminal device 100 and the server device 200 of the destination history registration system of the first embodiment, and the basic processing is the first. This is the same as the first embodiment.

  In FIG. 5, the control unit 402 has an internal memory for storing a control program such as an OS, a program that defines various processing procedures, and required data. And the control part 402 performs the information processing for performing various processes with these programs. The control unit 402 is functionally conceptually configured as a current position information acquisition unit 402a, a route search unit 402b, a route guidance information generation unit 402c, a route guidance unit 402d, a guidance end determination unit 402e, a destination information storage unit 402f, and a destination history. An acquisition unit 402g and a destination history output unit 402h are provided. Among these, the functions of the current position information acquisition unit 402a and the destination information storage unit 402f are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Among these, the route search unit 402b sets a route search condition including at least a departure place and a destination, and a route from the departure place to the destination that satisfies the set route search condition is stored in the network database 406a. Route search means for searching based on the network data and generating a route search result. As an example, the route search unit 402b may cause the user to input a route search condition including at least a departure place and a destination via the input unit 416. The route search conditions may further include designation information such as departure time and arrival time, waypoints, moving means, and routes used. In addition, the route search unit 402b may set the current position information of the destination history registration device 400 acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a as the starting point or destination of the route search condition. For example, the route search unit 402b uses the position information calculated from the position information signal received from the position transmission device 500 by the position acquisition unit 412 and / or the destination history registration device detected by the direction sensor of the position acquisition unit 412. Direction information such as the traveling direction of 400 users may be set as a departure place or a destination. Further, the route search unit 402b may set the position coordinates and the like input by the user via the input unit 416 as the departure point, the destination, and the waypoint. Specifically, the route search unit 402b allows the user to specify on the display screen of the map displayed on the display 414 via the input unit 416 (for example, a specification operation on the touch panel type output unit 414). You may set a coordinate and / or direction information as a departure point, a destination, and a waypoint. The route search result by the route search unit 402b is as follows: departure point information / destination information, required time, travel distance, departure time, arrival time, weather information, moving means information, waypoint, waypoint passage time, route used Such information may be included. Note that the route search unit 402b may cause the output unit 414 to display a route search result generated based on the route search condition. In addition, the route search unit 402b controls the user to select one point on the destination via the input unit 416 from the destination information history displayed by the destination history output unit 402h. May be set as the destination or waypoint of the route search condition.

  The route guidance information generation unit 402c is route guidance information generation means for generating route guidance information based on the route searched by the route search unit 402b. Here, the route guidance information generation unit 402c may generate route guidance information based on the route searched by the route search unit 402b and the map data including the route stored in the map database 406b. For example, the route guidance information generation unit 402c may generate route guidance information including map data of a map including the route stored in the map database 406b. In addition, the route guidance information generation unit 402c further converts the map data including the current position information into the map database according to the update of the current position information of the destination history registration device 400 acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a. Route guidance information including a display screen acquired from 406b and displayed with the current position superimposed on the map data may be generated. The route guidance information further includes guidance data (display guidance data and voice guidance data) that is output at the timing when the current position reaches the guidance point (guidance point) in response to the update of the current position information on the guidance route. Etc.). Specifically, the route guidance information includes voice guidance data output at a guidance point on the guidance route included in the guidance data and / or display guidance data such as turn-by-turn (TBT) included in the guidance data. It may be route guidance information including a displayed display screen. The displayed guidance data includes TBT, which is arrow navigation that displays guidance such as turning left and right on the screen, which is associated with the direction of travel at a branch point on the guidance route, and the fact that the current position has approached the target. For example, it is used when the route guidance unit 402d executes route guidance. In addition, for example, the voice guidance data is voice data such as “turn left at the next intersection” associated with the direction of travel at a branch point or the like on the guidance route. Used when executing guidance.

  The route guidance unit 402d is a route guidance unit that performs route guidance based on the route guidance information generated by the route guidance information generation unit 402c. For example, the route guide unit 402d outputs a guide route or the like according to the update of the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a based on the route guide information generated by the route guide information generation unit 402c. To display. Here, the route guide unit 402d superimposes and displays the guide route for route guidance and the current position of the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a on the display screen of the output unit 414. Guidance may be executed. In addition, the route guidance unit 402d may cause the output unit 414 to display a display screen in which the guide route of the route information and the current position based on the current position information are superimposed on the map data stored in the map database 406b. . In addition, the route guidance unit 402d outputs voice guidance data associated with a traveling direction or the like at a guidance point such as a branch point on the guidance route included in the route guidance information via the output unit 414. Route guidance may be executed.

  The guidance end determination unit 402e is a guidance end determination unit that determines the timing at which the route guidance based on the route guidance information ends based on the terminal status information indicating the terminal status of the destination history registration device 400. For example, the guidance end determination unit 402e determines that the current position obtained by updating the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a is within a predetermined distance range of the destination of the route search condition (for example, within 50 m from the destination). If it has arrived, it may be determined that the route guidance has ended. Here, the “predetermined distance” may be a linear distance from the destination to the current position, or may be the remaining route length to the destination. In addition, the guidance end determination unit 402e departs the route after the current position obtained by updating the current location information acquired by the current location information acquisition unit 402a exceeds the final guidance point based on the route guidance information, and the predetermined distance range of the destination If it is in the route, it may be determined that the route guidance has ended. Further, the guidance end determination unit 402e determines that the route guidance is finished when the route guidance by the route guidance unit 402d is stopped or when the route guidance unit 402d does not execute the route guidance for a certain period of time. Good.

  The destination history acquisition unit 402g is a destination history request receiving unit that acquires destination information history from the destination history database 406c. Here, when the destination history acquisition request is input from the user via the input unit 416 or when the route search condition such as the departure point is set by the route search unit 402b, the destination history acquisition unit 402g A history of destination information may be acquired from the destination history database 406c.

  The destination history output unit 402h is a destination history output unit that causes the output unit 414 to output the destination information history acquired by the destination history acquisition unit 402g. Here, the destination history output unit 402h may cause the output unit 414 to display and output the destination information history acquired by the destination history acquisition unit 402g.

  Above, description of an example of a structure of the destination log | history registration apparatus 400 in 2nd Embodiment is finished.

[Processing of Destination History Registration Device 400 (Stand-alone Type)]
Next, an example of processing of the destination history registration apparatus 400 in the second embodiment configured as described above will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the destination history registration apparatus 400 in the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, the route search unit 402b sets route search conditions including at least a departure place and a destination (step SC-1). Here, the route search unit 402b may cause the user to set a route search condition such as a destination via the input unit 416. In addition, the route search unit 402b may set the current location information of the destination history registration device 400 acquired by the current location information acquisition unit 402a as the departure point of the route search condition. Further, the route search unit 402b may set the position coordinates and the like input by the user via the input unit 416 as the departure point, the destination, and the waypoint. Specifically, the route search unit 402b allows the user to specify on the display screen of the map displayed on the output unit 414 via the input unit 416 (for example, a specifying operation on the touch panel type output unit 414). Coordinates and / or direction information may be set as a departure point, a destination, and a waypoint. In addition, the route search unit 402b may specify designation information such as departure time, arrival time, waypoint, moving means, route used, and the like in the route search condition.

  Then, the route search unit 402b searches for a route from the departure place to the destination that satisfies the set route search condition based on the network data stored in the network database 406a (step SC-2). If the route search condition further includes designation information such as departure time, arrival time, waypoint, transportation means, route used, etc. in addition to the departure place and destination, the route search unit 402b specifies these designations. A route that satisfies the condition may be searched.

  Then, the route guidance information generation unit 402c generates route guidance information for route guidance based on the route searched by the route search unit 402b (step SC-3). Here, the route guidance information generation unit 402c may generate route guidance information based on the route searched by the route search unit 402b and the map data including the route stored in the map database 406b. For example, the route guidance information generation unit 402c may generate route guidance information including a display screen that displays a route superimposed on map data including the route. Further, the route guidance information generated by the route guidance information generation unit 402c is the guidance data (display guidance data and data) output at the timing when the current position reaches the guidance point in response to the update of the current position information on the guidance route. Voice guidance data, etc.). Specifically, the route guidance information may be voice guidance data output at a guidance point on the guidance route and / or display guidance data such as TBT displayed at the guidance point on the guidance route. The displayed guidance data includes turn-by-turn (TBT) which is an arrow navigation for displaying guidance such as right and left turn on the screen, which is associated with the traveling direction at a guidance point such as a branch point on the guidance route, and the current position is Character data that informs that the target is approached. In addition, for example, the voice guidance data is voice data such as “turn left at the next intersection” associated with a traveling direction or the like at a guidance point such as a branch point on the guidance route.

  Then, the route guidance unit 402d starts executing route guidance based on the route guidance information created by the route guidance information generation unit 402c (step SC-4). For example, the route guidance unit 402d responds to the update of the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a, and at the timing when it arrives at the guide point on the guide route based on the route guide information, Data or the like may be output to the output unit 414. Specifically, the route guide unit 402d displays the current position based on the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 402a on the display screen of the output unit 414 in the guide route on the map data based on the route guide information. The route guidance may be executed by displaying. In addition, the route guidance unit 402d outputs voice guidance data associated with a traveling direction or the like at a guidance point such as a branch point on the guidance route included in the route guidance information via the output unit 414. Route guidance may be executed.

  Then, the guidance end determination unit 402e determines the timing at which the route guidance based on the route guidance information ends based on the terminal status information indicating the terminal status of the destination history registration device 400 (step SC-5). Here, the terminal status information may be current location information of the destination history registration device 400 acquired by the current location information acquisition unit 402a. For example, the guidance end determination unit 402e determines that the route guidance is completed when the current position based on the current position information updated by the current position information acquisition unit 402a reaches a predetermined distance range of the destination of the route search condition. You may judge. Further, the guidance end determination unit 402e deviates from the route after the current location information updated current location information exceeds the final guidance point based on the route guidance information and is within the predetermined distance range of the destination. It may be determined that the arrival and the route guidance have ended. For example, when the route guidance information includes guidance data output at the timing when the current position reaches the guidance point on the guidance route, the guidance end determination unit 402e determines the final guidance point (for example, TBT or the like) If you have crossed the guidance route after crossing the last branch point of the turning point where you should turn left and right, and if you have reached the predetermined distance range of the destination, determine that you have arrived near the destination and that route guidance has ended May be. Further, the terminal status information may be information indicating an execution state of route guidance by the route guidance unit 402d. For example, the guidance end determination unit 402e may determine that the route guidance has ended when there is an input through the input unit 416 to instruct the route guidance unit 402d to stop the route guidance. Further, the guidance end determination unit 402e terminates the route guidance, assuming that the route guidance by the route guidance unit 402d is stopped when the engine of the vehicle on which the destination history registration device 400 is mounted is turned off. May be determined.

  The route guidance unit 402d continues the route guidance based on the route guidance information (step SC-4) until the guidance end judgment unit 402e determines that the route guidance is finished (step SC-5, No).

  When the guidance end determination unit 402e determines that the route guidance has ended (step SC-5, Yes), the destination information storage unit 402f displays destination information such as the location information of the destination in the route search condition. And stored in the destination history database 406c (step SC-6). Here, the destination information storage unit 402f may store date / time information such as a registration date, an update date / time, and a last use date in the destination history database 406c in association with position information such as the latitude / longitude of the destination. . The destination information storage unit 402f is used by displaying a confirmation button for registering the destination information on the output unit 414 when the guidance end determination unit 402e determines that the route guidance has ended. A user may input approval information for registering the destination information via the input unit 414, and when the approval information is input, the destination information may be stored in the destination history database 406c.

  The above is an example of the process of the destination history registration apparatus 400 in the second embodiment. Note that the user can reuse the history of the destination registered in this way at an arbitrary time. For example, the destination history acquisition unit 402g of the destination history registration device 400 acquires destination information from the destination history database 406c in accordance with a destination history request from the user input via the input unit 416. Also good. The destination history output unit 402h may display the destination information acquired by the destination history acquisition unit 402g on the output unit 414. The destination history displayed on the output unit 414 of the destination history registration apparatus 400 in this way is selected by the user via the input unit 416, for example, so that a new route search by the route search unit 402b is performed. It can be set to the destination of the condition.

  The above is an example of the process of the destination history registration apparatus 400 in the second embodiment.
