Control means 420 for controlling access to and communication means
And

Next, a specific example of use of the information communication system will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. In the following description, portions not shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, four users a to d individually carry information display devices 100a to 100d (the same as the information display device 100 in FIGS. 1 and 2, hereinafter the same). I have. Each of the users a to d obtains their own current position data 601 relating to their own current position by the detection means 10 of the information display devices 100a to 100d which are using them, and connects the public telephone line 300 by using the data communication means 20. Via servers 400a to 400d (server 400 in FIG. 3)
(The same as hereafter, the same applies hereinafter) and store the statuses of the users a to d in the individual storage areas 411a to 411d (the same as the individual storage area 411 in FIG. 3, hereinafter the same).
The control means 40 controls the self-current position data 601 to be automatically updated (uploaded) at a predetermined timing.

The user a (similarly for the users b to d) operates the input means 50 at an arbitrary time, and
The server 400a is communicated (accessed) via the public telephone line 300 with the use of, and is loaded (downloaded) from the individual storage area 411a and the basic storage area 412a into the storage unit 42 of the information display apparatus 100a. For example, when the server 400a stores the self-current position data 601 according to the self-current position, which is the situation of the user a, the server 400a stores the respective storage areas 41 according to the situation of the user a.
Data corresponding to the situation (the self-current position) is selected from the data stored in 1a and 412a, that is, updated and output. Note that the basic storage area 412a (basic storage areas 412b to 412d) corresponds to FIG.
Is the same as the basic storage area 412.

Each downloaded data is superimposed and displayed on the display member 31 of the display means 30.
At this time, for example, it is natural to take measures to prevent inconsistency when these data 501 to 504 compose one screen. For example, based on geographic information (latitude and longitude), Which are displayed one on top of the other,
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, with the map A (based on the first and second map data 501 and 502) as the background, information such as the self-current position data 601 is displayed.
Alternatively, in advance, the user a freely sets the display design of the display member 31 in a manner similar to, for example, customizing the screen of the personal computer to his / her own preference. For this setting, the administrator of the server 400 a A desired UI is copied to the storage unit 42 from the UI data 608 registered in the basic storage area 412a. This UI includes an icon B (self-current position data 60) indicating the current position of the user.
1), an icon C indicating the current position of the other person (to be described later), an icon D indicating the own home of the user, an icon E indicating the home of the other person, an icon F indicating the point of automatic reception of electronic mail addressed to the own person, Icons G having a predetermined meaning, such as an icon G (based on the schedule book data 602) used for displaying the action schedule and an icon H (based on the address book data 603) used for displaying the contact information, are available. include.

The user can see at a glance the positional relationship and the like of the user a by the UI in which the icons B to H are represented on the map A, and input the cursor I appearing on the display member 31 to the input means 50.
It is also possible to perform a predetermined operation by selecting (clicking) the predetermined icon by operating with.

For example, when the icon H is selected with the cursor I, the telephone number of the other person is displayed, and a telephone call can be automatically made by selecting a desired telephone number from among them. That is, the user a determined by the detection means 10
The self-current position data 601 is transmitted to the server 400a, and for example, a telephone number registered as the icon H is received from the server 400a as data relating to the self-current position data 601 and the information display device 100
a can execute a command to make a telephone call, and can execute a service corresponding to the map data 501 and 502.

Further, the icon F is arranged on the road on which the user intends to travel, and when the icon B matches the icon F, the icon F is automatically communicated with the server 400a or the Internet service provider 700 (see FIG. 3) and addressed to the self. , And a service corresponding to the map data 501 and 502 can be executed.

For example, it can be used for checking an e-mail every morning while commuting to work, and it is convenient because it is possible to automate daily regular activities. That is, the self-current position data 601 of the user a obtained by the detection means 10
Is transmitted to the server 400a as the situation of the user a, and the server 400a sends
An e-mail is received as data relating to the e-mail. Such settings are stored as transmission setting data 604 in the basic storage area 412a.

Next, the display of the additional data 503 will be described. When the server 400a receives a position signal relating to the current position of the user a, the map data 501 and 502 relating to a certain range of the current position are transmitted to the user a. The map data 501 and 5 are transmitted and displayed on the display member 31 (display means 30) of the information display device 100a owned by the user a.
02 is superimposed and displayed (see FIG. 7A). Server 4
00a is the timing at which the announcement is transmitted to the user a, the current position B of the user a and the additional data 5
The server 400a is added when the distance between the set point X of the second map data 502 and the set point X in the second map data 03 reaches a certain distance, for example, when the distance between the current position B and the set point X is within 10 meters. An announcement Y prompting browsing of the data 503 is transmitted to the user a (see FIG. 7B), and when an answer back is performed from the user a accepting the announcement Y, the server 400a maps to the user a. The additional data 503 corresponding to the data 501 and 502 is provided (transmitted) (see FIG. 7C). At this time, the personal data 50
Reference numeral 4 may be either display or non-display. Such settings are stored as transmission setting data 604 in the basic storage area 412a.
Is stored in

After the user a has accepted the reception of the additional data 503 once, when the situation again occurs, the server 400a sets to not transmit the announcement Y relating to the same additional data 503, or transmits again. The setting may be made by the user a or the server 400a. Such settings are stored as transmission setting data 604 in the basic storage area 412a.

As described above, by weighting the various data and enabling the additional data 503 to be displayed according to the situation of the user a, the information display device 100a is not enlarged or increased in cost. In addition, the server 400a that transmits those data can provide a new information communication system that is socially and economically favorable without always providing all data.

When the set point X set in the second map data 502 is set to non-display on the information display device 100a, the user a cannot know the existence of the point where the additional data 503 is displayed. However, even in this case, when the distance between the current position B of the user a and the set point X (hidden) of the second map data 502 relating to the additional data 503 is within 10 meters, the server 400a User announces that additional data 503 is to be browsed by user a
, The same display as described above can be performed.
In this case, the user a receives the announcement Y unexpectedly, and a newer information communication system including transmission and reception of various data that surprisingly feels like a game is realized. Such settings are set in the transmission setting data 604.
Is stored in the basic storage area 412a.

In the above embodiment, the self-current position data 601 was used as the situation of the user a. However, other time data (date, day of the week, time, use time of the information display device 100a, etc.) may be used as the situation. Can be used, server 4
00a is a basic storage area 412a according to the time data.
Can be selected, that is, updated from the second map data 502 stored in the above, and output. For example, the second map data 50 according to the time
2 is set in the server 400a in advance as "restaurant data""leisure facility data""accommodation facility data"
Automatically, or select the selected data as desired by the user a and arbitrarily change the selected data, and switch and display them on the display means 30 of the information display device 100. You can also. In this case, it goes without saying that the additional data 503 is also changed when the second map data 502 is switched. Such settings are stored as transmission setting data 604 in the basic storage area 4.
12a.

The additional data 503 is not limited to character information as shown in FIG. 7C, but may be audio information.
Alternatively, it may be a virtual world or a game that continues from the set point X, and the content displayed on the display unit 30 of the information display device 100 with the display point X as a check point may be completely different. . Such a setting
The data is stored in the basic storage area 412a as transmission setting data 604.

In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the display possibility of the additional data 503 is set as the set point X indicating the user a in the second map data 502 has been described. The configuration may be such that 501 and 502 are set as one piece of map data. Such settings are stored as transmission setting data 604 in the basic storage area 412a.

Next, the construction / elimination of the group will be described.

User a sets and stores grouping condition data 605 and security data 607 in advance in basic storage area 412a of server 400a.
The same applies to other users b to d. These grouping condition data 605 and security data 607 can be set for each of the users a to d.
Is, as a condition of each grouping condition data 605,
"It exists within a radius of 10 km from your current position (spatial element) and is 9 am from Monday to Friday
Set a group if it meets 5:00 pm from the time (temporal element) "or" Within a radius of 20 km from a specific point on the map, or within 20 meters along a specific national road and national road (space Security element 60), and set a group from January 1 to January 31 (temporal element).
As a seventh level, a group is formed by releasing the second map data 502, the additional data 503, the self-current position data 601, and the UI data 608 (the above is referred to as "object") to a third party. "And the same setting by the users a to d (refer to the halftone dots in the individual storage area 411a in FIG. 3), for the user a, for example, when the user b satisfies the above condition (the user b Is the same setting, so user b
Therefore, the user a satisfies the above condition, but the description is omitted below), and the information display device 10 of the user a
The display member 31 (display means 30) of 0a performs display as shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral Ba denotes an icon indicating the current position of the user a, and reference numeral Cb denotes an icon indicating the current position of the user b. Note that reference numerals Cc and Cd
Is an icon indicating the current position of users c and d,
At this time, the icons Cc and Cd of the users c and d that do not satisfy the above conditions are not displayed.

As described above, when the relationship between the self (user a) and the third party (user b) satisfies the above condition, the servers 400a and 400b automatically set the users a and b.
