 [0012] (Embodiment)

 (Functional configuration of information presentation device)

 First, the content of the information presentation apparatus which is useful for the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of an information presentation device that is useful for an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the information presentation device 100 includes a package detection unit 101, an input unit 102, a setting unit 103, a storage unit 104, a position acquisition unit 105, and a presentation unit 106. Further, the information presentation apparatus 100 may include an image information acquisition unit 107 and an identification information acquisition unit 108. The information presentation device 100 is mounted on a moving body such as a vehicle (including a four-wheeled vehicle and a two-wheeled vehicle).

 [0013] The load detection unit 101 detects that a load has been loaded in the moving body. For example, a section for placing luggage is provided in the moving body, and when the luggage is placed in the compartment, the luggage detection unit 101 detects that the luggage has been placed. Examples of compartments for storing luggage include a so-called drink holder, a cup holder, a pocket (storage part) provided inside the door, a glove box, a seat, and a trunk. A large area such as a seat or a trunk may be subdivided into a plurality of areas.

 The input unit 102 accepts input of additional information for a package detected to be loaded by the package detection unit 101. The additional information of the package is information that can identify the package, such as the name of the owner, the appearance and size of the package, and the contents of the package, and one or more of them can be specified. Information. The setting unit 103 sets the destination and waypoint based on information input by the user.

[0015] Storage unit 104 stores the additional information of the package received by input unit 102 in association with the destination or waypoint where the package should be unloaded, among the destinations and waypoints set by setting unit 103. To do. The storage unit 104 can be written and read at any time, and holds the stored additional information in a nonvolatile manner. Specifically, the storage unit 104 is, for example, an EE It is composed of a rewritable nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as PROM (Electronically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) and FRAM (ferroelectric memory), and a storage device such as HD (Hard Disk).

[0016] The position acquisition unit 105 acquires the current position information of the moving object. The current position information is information indicating the current position of the moving object based on information such as latitude / longitude and altitude obtained by GPS. When the presenting unit 106 arrives at or approaches the destination or waypoint set by the current position setting unit 103 acquired from the position obtaining unit 105, the presenting unit 106 reads the destination or waypoint from the storage unit 104. The additional information of the package associated with is read and presented.

 The image information acquisition unit 107 acquires image information of a load detected to be loaded by the package detection unit 101. The image information acquired by the image information acquisition unit 107 is received by the input unit 102 as additional information on the package. In the case of this configuration, the input unit 102 has a function of receiving the image information acquired by the image information acquisition unit 107 as additional information on the package. When image information is not used as the additional information of the package, the image information receiving function of the image information acquisition unit 107 and the input unit 102 is unnecessary.

 [0018] The identification information acquisition unit 108 acquires identification information for identifying individual packages. The identification information is, for example, information on a tag attached to the package or the weight of the package. In general, the tag information is different for each package, so it is preferable as identification information. In addition, except for the special case of carrying a plurality of packages with the same contents and exterior, the weight of the package usually varies from package to package. Therefore, the weight of the package can be used as identification information.

When the tag information is used as the package identification information, the identification information acquisition unit 108 is configured by a device that reads the tag information. When the package weight is used as package identification information, the identification information acquisition unit 108 is configured by a device capable of detecting the package weight, such as a weight sensor or a pressure sensor. The package identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 108 is stored in the storage unit 104 in association with the additional information of the package received by the input unit 102.

[0020] In the case of this configuration, the storage unit 104 has a function of storing the additional information of the package in association with the identification information of the package. The presentation unit 106 also provides additional information on the package. Only when a new identification information acquisition unit 108 acquires the identification information of the package, and the newly acquired identification information matches the identification information stored in the storage unit 104. Present additional information. In the case where the baggage confirmation operation using the package identification information is not performed, the identification information storage function of the identification information acquisition unit 108 and the storage unit 104 and the package confirmation function of the presentation unit 106 are unnecessary.

 (Information presentation processing procedure of information presentation device)

 Next, an information presentation processing procedure of the information presentation apparatus that is relevant to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the information presentation processing procedure of the information presentation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

 As shown in FIG. 2, first, based on input information of an operation unit force (not shown) input in accordance with an input operation by a user of the information presentation device 100, the setting unit 103 causes the destination “ A waypoint is set (step S201). Next, the package detection unit 101 detects the package placed in a predetermined section in the moving body (step S202).

 [0023] When it is detected that a package is placed, the information input by the user of the information presentation device 100 or the image information about the package placed in each section by the input unit 102 is displayed. The image information acquired by the acquisition unit 107 is received as additional information, and the additional information is stored in the storage unit 104 (step S203). At this time, the additional information of each package should be stored in association with the destination or waypoint where the package should be unloaded.

 [0024] When a destination or waypoint is already set before starting a series of information presentation processing according to this flowchart, or when additional information of each package is not associated with the destination or waypoint The step S201 is not necessary. Instead, when the information presentation apparatus 100 is turned on, the package detection unit 101 detects the package in step S202. In the case where the identification information acquisition unit 108 acquires the identification information of each package, the identification information and the additional information are stored in association with each package.

Next, the position acquisition unit 105 acquires the current position of the host vehicle, and determines whether or not the current position is in the vicinity of the destination / route via (step S204). If the current position is not near the destination's destination (Step S204: No), the process returns to Step S204 and the current position Check the position. If the current position is in the vicinity of the destination point (step S204: Yes), the presentation unit 106 reads the additional information from the storage unit 104 and presents the additional information (step S205). At this time, if the additional information of the package is stored in association with the destination or waypoint where the package should be unloaded, the presenting unit 106 makes the destination or waypoint near the current position or its vicinity from the storage unit 104. The additional information associated with is read and presented.

 [0026] If the information presentation device 100 is configured to use the package identification information, the identification information acquisition unit 108 acquires the package identification information again. Then, the newly obtained identification information is compared with the identification information stored in the storage unit 104 by the presenting unit 106, and only when the identification information matches, the additional information of the matched package is obtained. Present. If the new and old identification information do not match, the presentation unit 106 tries to present additional information and the package is said to have been placed, and the package actually placed in the compartment. Is not different, so no additional information is presented. When the additional information is presented by the presentation unit 106, the series of information presentation processing according to this flowchart ends.

 [0027] As described above, according to the information presentation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the position acquisition unit 105 recognizes that it has arrived at or near the destination or waypoint. Then, the presentation unit 106 reads the additional information from the storage unit 104 and presents the additional information to the user. Therefore, the user can know that there is a load loaded in the moving body when the moving strength is also lowered, so that the user can get off the moving strength without leaving the luggage in the moving body. In other words, things left behind can be prevented.

 [0028] In addition, the destination or waypoint is set by the setting unit 103, and the additional information of the package is stored in the storage unit 104 in association with the destination or waypoint, and arrives at or near the destination or waypoint When present, the presentation unit 106 presents additional information on the packages associated with the destination or waypoint, so it is possible to present only the calorie information with the luggage to be dropped at the destination or waypoint. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the baggage to be unloaded at another waypoint or destination from being unintentionally dropped.

[0029] Further, the identification information acquisition unit 108 acquires the package identification information, and the presentation unit 106 collates the new and old identification information when presenting the additional information. Since the additional information is presented only for the package that has been removed, it is possible to prevent the wrong package from being unintentionally dropped. In addition, when using the image information acquired by the image information acquisition unit 107 as additional information of the package, the user may unload the wrong package by looking at the image information presented as the additional information. Can be prevented more reliably.

 [0030] Further, when the information presentation apparatus 100 is turned on, or when the destination or waypoint is set by the setting unit 103, it is confirmed that the baggage is placed by the baggage detection unit 101. When detected, the input unit 102 automatically enters additional package information. Therefore, an operation for inputting additional information is simplified.

 [0031] Next, examples that are useful for the embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, the case where the information presentation device 100 according to this embodiment is applied to a navigation device mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile as a moving body will be described as an example.

This is realized by the CPU of the control unit 301 executing. In the following, the description will be made mainly with reference to FIG. 3. However, the same reference numerals are given to the portions overlapping with those already described, and the description will be omitted. First, the voice memo registration processing procedure will be described.

 [0067] (Voice memo registration processing procedure)

In FIG. 4, first, the navigation control unit 301 obtains information input from, for example, the user operation unit 302, and sets a destination / route point (step S401). Next, the navigation control unit 301 sets 1 to [n ^ l], that is, the value of n representing the storage tray number (step S402). And by the navigation control unit 301, It is determined whether the storage tray switch-n of the storage tray switch section 313 is on (step S403). Here, the storage tray switch—n is a switch of the nth storage tray.

 [0068] As a result, if the storage tray switch n is on (step S403: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 determines that the luggage is placed on the storage tray n, and the voice memo for this luggage is stored. The user is notified that input is possible (step S404). Here, the storage tray-n is the nth storage tray. If the storage tray switch—n is OFF (step S403: No), step S404 to step S410 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S411.

 [0069] As a means for reporting to the user that the voice memo can be input, the voice generation unit 311, the voice output unit 307 and the speaker 312 may be used to output a guidance prompting input using synthesized speech. You can also display a message prompting you for input on the display 303 screen. Or you may just sound a buzzer. In addition, a recorded voice may be used instead of the synthesized voice.

 FIG. 5 shows a display example when a message prompting input is displayed. In FIG. 5, 500 is a display screen, and 501 is a message prompting input, for example, “Register voice memo”. This is a message display area that displays messages such as “t”. In FIG. 5, 502 is a memo information display area, and 503 and 504 are selection button display areas.

 Returning to FIG. 4, following step S404, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the voice memo associated with the storage tray-n has been stored (step S405). As a result, if stored (step S405: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 displays, for example, that there is a stored voice memo in the message display area 501 (see FIG. 5) of the display screen 500. (Step S406). For example, the message “Voice memo is registered” is displayed. Then, the process proceeds to step S407.

At this time, stored memo information associated with the storage tray n may be displayed in the memo information display area 502 of the display screen 500. In this case, it is necessary to convert the stored voice memo into text information using a known voice recognition engine, etc. The control unit 301 has this function. When the voice memo associated with the storage tray n is not stored (step S405: No), step S406 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S407.

 [0073] Then, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the voice memo skip button has been pressed via the user operation unit 302 (step S407). When the voice memo skip button is pressed (step S407: Yes), step S408 to step S410 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S411. If the voice memo skip button is not pressed (step S 407: No), the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the voice memo start button has been pressed via the user operation unit 302. (Step S408).

 Here, the voice memo skip button is a button that is pressed when the voice memo is not stored. The voice memo start button is a button that is pressed when storing a voice memo. These buttons may be provided as push button switches on the casing of the navigation device 300 or the remote control. Alternatively, these buttons may be displayed on the screen of the display unit 303 as button images.

 In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a “start” button image corresponding to the voice memo start button is displayed in one selection button display area 503, and the other selection button display area 504 is displayed. A “skip” button image corresponding to the voice memo skip button may be displayed, and one of the button images may be selected by operating the remote controller to push the button in a pseudo manner. Further, the display screen 500 of the display unit 303 may be configured with a touch panel, and either button may be pressed by touching a “start” button image or a “skip” button image.

[0076] Returning to FIG. 4, when the voice memo start button is pressed (step S408: Yes), the luggage placed in the storage tray n by the navigation control unit 301, the voice input unit 314, and the microphone 315. The information about is input by voice and the voice memo associated with the storage tray n is recorded (step S409). Then, the process proceeds to step S411. The voice memo is information that can identify the package, such as information about the package, such as the name of the owner of the package, the appearance and size of the package, and the contents of the package. , Associated with the storage tray where the package was placed. [0077] On the other hand, if the voice memo start button is not pressed (step S408: No), whether or not a certain time has elapsed after the start of the voice memo input enabled display is displayed by the navigation control unit 301. Is determined (step S410). If the predetermined time has elapsed (step S410: Yes), the process proceeds to step S411. If the fixed time has not elapsed (step S410: No), the process returns to step S407, and the voice memo skip button or the voice memo start button is pressed until the predetermined time has elapsed after the voice memo input enabled display starts. Wait for.

 [0078] In the above-described process, when the storage tray switch-n is off (step S403:

 No), when the voice memo skip button is pressed (step S407: Yes), or when a certain time has elapsed after the start of the voice memo input enabled display without pressing the voice memo start button (step S410: Yes) The navigation control unit 301 increments [n ^ n + 1], that is, the value of n by 1 (step S411). Next, assuming that the maximum value of n is N max, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not [n> Nmax] (step S412).

 [0079] If [n≤Nmax] (step S412: No), the process returns to step S403 and repeats steps S403 to S412, so that the above-described series of processing is performed for all the storage trays. I do. If [n> Nmax] (step S412: Yes), the series of voice memo registration processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

 [0080] In the above example, the destination and waypoint are set in step S401. However, the destination and waypoint are already set before starting a series of voice memo registration processing according to this flowchart. In the case where the voice memo is not associated with the destination or waypoint, the processing after step S402 may be performed with the power-on of the navigation device 300 as a trigger. In this case, since the power supply of the navigation apparatus 300 is generally turned on when the moving body engine is started, the processing after step S402 is performed using the starting of the moving body engine as a trigger. Next, the voice memo playback processing procedure will be described.

 [0081] (Voice memo playback processing procedure)

In FIG. 6, first, the navigation control unit 301 and the position acquisition unit 304 acquire the current position of the moving body, and determine whether the current position is a force near the destination / route point. Judgment is made (step S601). If the current position is not in the vicinity of the destination point (step S601: No), the process returns to step S601 to check the current position.

 [0082] When the current position is in the vicinity of the destination / route point (step S601: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 sets [n ^ l], that is, n to 1 (step S60). 2). Here, the timing for performing step S602 is when the moving body is stopped or the moving engine is stopped near the destination or waypoint, or when the distance from the destination or waypoint is less than a certain distance. This is the case.

 Next, it is determined whether or not the storage tray switch n of the storage tray switch unit 313 is on (step S603). As a result, if the storage tray switch n is off (step S603: No), step S604 to step S609 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S610. If the storage tray switch-n is on (step S603: Yes), it is determined whether or not the voice memo associated with the storage tray n is already registered (step S604).

 As a result, if it is not registered! (Step S604: No), step S605 to step S609 are skipped, and the process proceeds to step S610. If the voice memo is registered (step S604: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 can notify the user that the voice memo is registered (step S605).

 As means for reporting to the user that the voice memo is registered, the voice generation unit 311, the voice output unit 307 and the speaker 312 may be used to report the synthesized voice, or the display unit 303. A message may be displayed on the screen. Or just sound the buzzer. FIG. 7 shows a display example when displaying a message reporting that a voice memo is registered. As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the navigation control unit 301 displays the display screen 500. In the message display area 501, a message saying “There is a voice memo” is displayed.

[0086] At this time, the navigation control unit 301 may display the storage tray number in the memo information display area 502 of the display screen 500, or the voice generation unit 311, the voice output unit 307, and the speaker 312. Thus, the number of the storage tray may be reported by synthetic voice. In the memo information display area 502, registered memo information associated with the storage tray n may be displayed. In this case, the registered voice memo is stored in the well-known voice recognition chain. It is necessary to convert it into character information using gin or the like, and the navigation control unit 301 has this function.

 Returning to FIG. 6, following step S605, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the voice memo skip button has been pressed via the user operation unit 302 (step S606). If the voice memo skip button has been pressed (step S606: Yes), step S607 to step S609 are skipped and step S610 is advanced. If the voice memo skip button has not been pressed (step S606: No), the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the voice memo playback button has been pressed via the user operation unit 302 (step S606). S607).

 Here, the voice memo skip button is a button that is pressed when the voice memo is not reproduced. The voice memo playback button is a button that is pressed when the voice memo is played back. These buttons may be provided as push button switches on the casing of the navigation device 300 or the remote control. Alternatively, these buttons may be displayed on the screen of the display unit 303 as button images.

 In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a “play” button image corresponding to the voice memo playback button is displayed in one selection button display area 503, and the other selection button display area 5004 is displayed. A “skip” button image corresponding to the voice memo skip button may be displayed, and one of the button images may be selected by operating the remote controller to push the button in a pseudo manner. Further, the display screen 500 of the display unit 303 may be configured by a touch panel, and either button may be pressed by touching the “play” button image or the “skip” button image.

 [0090] Returning to FIG. 6, when the voice memo playback button is pressed (step S607: Yes), the navigation tray 301, the voice generator 311, the voice output unit 307, and the speaker 312 allow the storage tray-n. The voice memo associated with is played (step S608). Then, proceed to Step S610.

[0091] On the other hand, if the voice memo playback button is not pressed (step S607: No), the navigation control unit 301 displays whether the voice memo has been registered or not after a certain period of time has passed. Is determined (step S609). When a certain period of time has passed (Step S609 : Yes), go to step S610. If the fixed time has not passed (step S609: No), the process returns to step S606, and the voice memo skip button or the voice memo playback button is not displayed until the fixed time has passed after displaying the voice memo registered. Wait for it to be pressed.

 [0092] In the above-described processing, when the storage tray switch-n is off (step S603:

 No), when the voice memo associated with the storage tray n is not registered (Step S60 4: No), when the voice memo skip button is pressed (Step S606: Yes), the voice memo playback button is If a certain period of time has elapsed since the voice memo registered display was displayed without being pressed (step S609: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 [n n + 1], that is, the value of n is set to 1. Increment (step S610). Next, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not [n> Nmax] (step S611).

 [0093] If [n≤Nmax] (step S611: No), the process returns to step S603 and repeats step S603 to step S611, whereby the above-described series of processing is performed for all the storage trays. I do. If [n> Nmax] (step S611: Yes), the series of voice memo playback processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

 [0094] As described above, according to the navigation device 300 according to the first embodiment, the navigation control unit 301 and the position acquisition unit 304 can reach the destination or the waypoint or have come close to it. When recognized, the voice memo is reproduced by the navigation control unit 301, the display unit 303, the voice output unit 307, the voice generation unit 311 and the speaker 312 to inform the user of the contents of the voice memo. Therefore, when the user gets off the moving body, the user can know that there is a load loaded in the moving body, so that the user can get off the moving power without leaving the luggage in the moving body. In other words, things left behind can be prevented.

[0095] In addition, the navigation control unit 301 and the user operation unit 302 set the destination and waypoint, and store the voice memo of the package in association with the destination and waypoint, and arrive at the destination and waypoint. Or when it comes close, the navigation control unit 301, the display unit 303, the audio output unit 307, the audio generation unit 311 and the speaker 312 reproduce the voice memo associated with the destination or waypoint. Only voice memos of packages to be dropped at the destination or waypoint can be played. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the baggage to be unloaded at another waypoint or destination from being unintentionally dropped. [0096] Further, when the navigation apparatus 300 is turned on, or when a destination or waypoint is set by the navigation control unit 301 and the user operation unit 302, the navigation control unit 301 and the storage device are stored. When the tray switch unit 313 detects that a baggage is placed, the navigation control unit 301, the voice input unit 314, and the microphone 315 automatically enter a voice memo. Therefore, the operation of inputting a voice memo becomes simple.

 [0097] In the above description, the route for reaching the destination via the waypoint is set, and the route guidance is particularly referred to. It may be set and guided. In that case, the route search unit 309 searches for a route to the destination via the waypoint, and the route guidance unit 310 guides the route. Then, during the route guidance, when the current position of the vehicle comes close to the destination or the waypoint, the voice memo reproduction process of steps S601 to S611 described above is performed.

 [Example 2]

 In the second embodiment, when registering a voice memo, identification information for identifying individual packages is stored together with the voice memo. Then, using this identification information, confirm that the package at the time of voice memo registration and the package actually placed in the storage tray from which the voice memo is to be played back are the same. Play a note. In the second embodiment, as an example, tag information attached to a package is used as identification information. Therefore, the identification information is hereinafter referred to as tag information. About the same structure as Example 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted. In the second embodiment, the additional information on the package is also called a voice memo.

 [0099] (Hardware configuration of navigation device)

 First, the hardware configuration of the navigation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an example of a hardware configuration of the navigation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, a navigation apparatus 800 according to the second embodiment includes an RF tag reader unit 816 in addition to the configuration of the navigation apparatus 300 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

 [0100] The RF tag reader unit 816 reads tag information included in the RF tag attached to the package.

The tag information includes a unique number for the package, the name of the package, the weight of the package, and the location where the package is unloaded Information such as location is included. Among these pieces of information, one or more pieces of information suitable for identifying the package, for example, a unique number of the package, is used as the package identification information. The tag information read by the RF tag reader unit 816 is associated with the voice memo by the navigation control unit 301 and stored in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory in the navigation control unit 301.

SC fed.

 [0101] The navigation control unit 301 receives tag information from the RF tag reader unit 816 and stores the tag information in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory. Further, the navigation control unit 301 reads tag information from the semiconductor memory, and determines whether the tag information read from the semiconductor memory and the tag information newly acquired by the RF tag reader unit 816 match. To do.

 [0102] Specifically, the identification information acquisition unit 108 in FIG. 1 which is a functional configuration of the information presentation device 100 that is relevant to the embodiment is performed by, for example, the navigation control unit 301 and the RF tag reader unit 816. Realize the function. In the second embodiment, the image information acquisition unit 107 in FIG. 1 is not provided. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

 [0103] (Information presentation processing procedure of the navigation device)

 Next, an information presentation process procedure of the navigation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information presentation process is divided into a voice memo registration process and a voice memo playback process. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a voice memo registration processing procedure. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a voice memo reproduction processing procedure.

 [0104] Specifically, the processing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 includes, for example, a program stored (recorded) in the RAM, ROM, or recording medium 305 of the navigation control unit 301 shown in FIG. This is realized by the CPU of the control unit 301 executing. In the following, description will be made mainly with reference to FIG. 8. However, portions overlapping with those already described are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. First, the voice memo registration processing procedure will be described.

 [0105] (Voice memo registration process)

As shown in FIG. 9, the voice memo registration processing procedure of the second embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that the RF tag information is read by the navigation control unit 301 and the RF tag reader unit 816 following step S409. And store it in relation to the storage bin n (Step S913) It is. When the tag information is stored, the process proceeds to step S411. The other procedures are the same as in Example 1.

 [0106] In the second embodiment as well, in the case where the voice memo is not associated with the destination or waypoint, as in the first embodiment, the mobile engine is started and the navigation device 800 is powered. The process after step S402 may be performed using ON as a trigger. Next, the voice memo playback processing procedure will be described.

 [0107] (Voice memo playback processing procedure)

 As shown in FIG. 10, the voice memo playback processing procedure of the second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in the following three points. The first point is that instead of step S601, the current position of the moving body is acquired by the navigation control unit 301 and the position acquisition unit 304, and the current position is in the vicinity of the destination It is to determine whether or not there is a certain force (step S1001). The registered place is a point registered by the user by the operation of the user operation unit 302, although it is not the destination or the waypoint.

 [0108] The second point is that, following step S604, the RF tag reader force of the storage tray—n section is also read by the navigation control unit 301 and the RF tag reader unit 816 (step S1002). . The third point is whether the tag information read in step S1002 by the navigation control unit 301 following step S1002 matches the tag information stored in step S913 in FIG. That is, it is determined whether or not the force is [tag information stored in association with the storage tray n = read tag information] (step S 1003).

 [0109] If both pieces of tag information match (step S1003: Yes), the process proceeds to step S605.

 If the tag information does not match (step S 1003: No), the process proceeds to step S610. In the second embodiment, the route search unit 309 may search for a route to the destination via the waypoint, and the route guide unit 310 may guide the route.

As described above, according to the navigation device 800 according to the second embodiment, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained. When tag information is acquired by the navigation control unit 301 and the RF tag reader unit 816 and the voice memo is reproduced by the navigation control unit 301, the display unit 303, the audio output unit 3 07, the audio generation unit 311 and the speaker 312. New and old The tag information is checked, and the voice memo is played only for the package that matches the tag information, so it is possible to prevent the wrong package from being unintentionally dropped. Instead of the RF tag information, a sensor capable of detecting the weight of the load, such as a weight sensor or a pressure sensor, is attached to the bottom of the storage tray, and this sensor detects the weight of the load and uses it to identify the load. It may be used as

[0111] (Example 3)

 In the third embodiment, a case will be described in which a baggage video shot by a camera capable of outputting a shot video such as a digital camera or a camera-equipped mobile phone as electronic data is used as additional information on the baggage. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the additional information on the package is called a video memo.

 [0112] (Hardware configuration of navigation device)

 The hardware configuration of the navigation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as the hardware configuration of the navigation device 300 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. However, the communication unit 308 communicates with a digital camera or a camera of a camera-equipped mobile phone and receives electronic data (hereinafter referred to as “video data”) of video that has been captured by the camera power. As a communication standard at this time, a general communication standard between electronic devices such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) can be used.

 Therefore, the image information acquisition unit 107 in FIG. 1, which is a functional configuration of the information presentation device 100 according to the embodiment, realizes its function by the navigation control unit 301 and the communication unit 308, for example. In the third embodiment, the identification information acquisition unit 108 of FIG. 1 is not provided.

 [0114] (Information presentation processing procedure of the navigation device)

 Next, the information presentation processing procedure of the navigation device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. Information presentation processing is divided into video memo registration processing and video memo playback processing. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the video memo registration processing procedure.

[0115] Specifically, the process shown in FIG. 11 includes, for example, a program stored (recorded) in the RAM, ROM, or recording medium 305 of the navigation control unit 301 shown in FIG. This is realized by executing 301 CPUs. In the following, The description will be made mainly with reference to FIG. 3, but the same parts as those already described are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. First, the video memo registration process procedure will be described.

 [0116] (Video Memo Registration Processing Procedure)

 In FIG. 11, first, a photograph of the load on the storage tray is taken with a digital camera or a mobile phone camera (step S 1101). Next, the navigation control unit 301 obtains information input from the user operation unit 302, for example, and sets a destination 'waypoint (step S1102). Next, the navigation control unit 301 sets [n 1], that is, 1 to the value of n (step S1103). Then, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the storage tray switch-n of the storage tray switch unit 313 is on (step S 1104).

 [0117] As a result, if the storage tray switch—n is on (step S1104: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 determines that a load is placed on the storage tray—n, and the video for this load is displayed. The user is notified that the memo can be set (step S1105). If the container tray switch-n is off (step S1104: No), step SI105 to step S1113 are skipped, and the process proceeds to step S1114.

 [0118] As a means for reporting to the user that the video memo can be set, the voice generation unit 311, the voice output unit 307, and the speaker 312 are used to output a guidance prompting the setting operation with synthesized voice. Alternatively, a message prompting the setting operation may be displayed on the screen of the display unit 303. Or you may just sound a buzzer. In addition, a recorded voice may be used instead of the synthesized voice.

 Subsequent to step S1105, the navigation control unit 301 and the communication unit 308 capture the digital camera or mobile phone power video data (step S 1106). The navigation control unit 301 and the communication unit 308 can capture video data using, for example, a connection cable, Bluetooth, infrared communication, or the like. Then, the navigation control unit 301 and the display unit 303 display the captured video data as a list on the screen (step S 1107).

Next, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the video memo associated with the storage tray n has been stored (step S1108). As a result, remembered If there is (step SI 108: Yes), the navigation control unit 301 displays that there is a stored video memo in the message display area 501 (see FIG. 5) of the display screen 500 (step S 1109). ). For example, the message “Your video memo is registered and will be displayed!” Is displayed. Then, proceed to step S1110.

 At this time, a stored video memo associated with the storage tray n may be displayed in the memo information display area 502 of the display screen 500. When the video memo associated with the storage tray n is not stored (step S1108: No), step S1109 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S1110.

 Then, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not the video memo skip button has been pressed via the user operation unit 302 (step S1110). If the video memo skip button is pressed (step S1110: Yes), step S1111 to step S1113 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S1114. If the video memo skip button is not pressed (step S1110: No), the navigation control unit 301 selects an image from the list display via the user operation unit 302, and the video memo registration button is pressed. It is determined whether or not the force is applied (step S1111).

 [0123] Here, the video memo skip button is a button that is pressed when the video memo is not stored. The video memo registration button is a button that is pressed when storing a video memo. These buttons may be provided as push button switches on the casing of the navigation device 300 or the remote control. Alternatively, these buttons may be displayed on the screen of the display unit 303 as button images.

 In this case, for example, in the display example shown in FIG. 5, instead of the “start” button image, a “register” button image corresponding to the image memo registration button is displayed, and the other selection button is displayed. A “skip” button image corresponding to the video memo skip button may be displayed in area 504, and one of the button images may be selected by operating the remote controller so as to push the button in a pseudo manner. Alternatively, the display screen 500 of the display unit 303 may be configured with a touch panel, and either button may be pressed by touching a “register” button image or a “skip” button image.

[0125] Returning to FIG. 11, if the video memo registration button is pressed (step Sl lll: Yes), The pigeon control 301 stores the video memo associated with the storage tray n (step S1112). Then, the process proceeds to step S 1114. On the other hand, when the video memo registration button is not pressed (step Sl lll: No), the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not a certain time has passed since the start of the video memo input enabled display. (Step S1113).

 [0126] If the fixed time has elapsed (step SI 113: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1114. If the fixed time has passed and it is unsatisfactory (step SI 113: No), return to step SI 110 and register the video memo skip button or video memo until a certain time has elapsed after the video memo input enabled display starts. Wait for the button to be pressed.

 [0127] In the processing described above, when the storage tray switch—n is off (step S1104:

 No), when the video memo skip button is pressed (step S1110: Yes), when a certain time has elapsed after the start of the video memo input enabled display without the video memo registration button being pressed (step S1113: Yes) The navigation control unit 301 increments [n ^ n + 1], that is, the value of n by 1 (step SI 114). Next, the navigation control unit 301 determines whether or not [n> Nmax] (step S 1115).

 [0128] When [n≤Nmax] (step S1115: No), the process returns to step S1104 and repeats step S1104 to step S1115, thereby repeating the above-described series of operations for all the storage trays. Process. If [n> Nmax] (step S1115: Yes), the series of video memo registration processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

 [0129] In the third embodiment, when the video memo is not associated with the destination or waypoint, as in the first embodiment, the mobile engine is started and the navigation device 300 is powered. The process after step S1103 may be performed using ON as a trigger. Next, the video memo playback processing procedure will be described.

 [0130] (Video memo playback processing procedure)

Regarding the video memo playback processing procedure, the voice memo may be read as the video memo in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 and the description of the voice memo playback processing procedure of the first embodiment. However, when displaying the registered video memo associated with the storage tray n in the memo information display area 502 of the display screen 500, it is not necessary to convert the voice memo into character information. Therefore, no voice recognition engine is required.

 [0131] As described above, according to the navigation device 300 according to the third embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. In addition, the navigation control unit 301 and the communication unit 308 receive and store powerful video data such as a digital camera or a camera-equipped mobile phone camera, so users who do not like voice memos and voice memos. Even a user who does not know how to create a video memo can register a video memo simply by selecting an appropriate image from among the already-captured images displayed on the display unit 303. Therefore, video memos can be easily registered. Furthermore, by reproducing the video memo by the navigation control unit 301 and the display unit 303, it is possible to more reliably prevent the wrong baggage from being unintentionally dropped.

 [0132] As in Example 2, using the RF tag information and the weight of the baggage, the baggage at the time of registering the video memo and the baggage actually placed in the storage tray where the video memo is to be played back The video memo may be played after confirming that and are the same. In addition, the route search unit 309 searches for a route to the destination via the waypoint, and the route guidance unit 310 guides the route. During the route guidance, the current position of the host vehicle is determined. Alternatively, the video memo reproduction process may be performed when the vehicle comes near the waypoint.

 Note that the information presentation method described in the present embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. This program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, and a DVD, and is executed by reading the recording medium force by a computer. The program may be a transmission medium that can be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
