As described above, according to the operation of the information processing apparatus S according to the embodiment, the points accepted after the operation unit selection operation for selecting the operation unit displayed in one display screen together with the map is accepted. The attribute of the point selected by the selection operation is changed to the point attribute assigned to the operation unit selected by the operation unit selection operation. Therefore, since the operation unit and the map are displayed in one display screen, the attributes of the points in the map can be changed by a simple operation.

Next, specific examples corresponding to the above-described embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, each embodiment described below is for changing the attribute of a point in a map displayed in a navigation device mounted on a vehicle or carried by a user to guide the movement of the vehicle or a person. , Is an example when the embodiment is applied. At this time, in the following description, the vehicle, person, bicycle, etc. are collectively referred to as a "moving body".

(1) First Example First, the first embodiment corresponding to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. Note that FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline configuration of the navigation device according to the first embodiment, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a point selection process according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a point selection process according to the first embodiment. It is a figure which illustrates the route setting process. At this time, in FIGS. 2 and 4, each of the constituent members of the embodiment corresponding to each constituent member in the information processing device S according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is the same member as each constituent member in the information processing apparatus S. Numbers are used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the navigation device NV according to the first embodiment has a display 1 as an example of the display means 1 according to the embodiment including a liquid crystal display and the like, and an electrostatic type or an electrostatic type provided on the surface of the display 1. A pressure-sensitive touch panel 2, a processing unit 4 consisting of a CPU, RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), etc., an operation unit 5 consisting of a remote controller, and a self-supporting sensor such as an acceleration sensor. A database including a sensor unit 6 including a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor, a VICS (Vehicle Information and Communication System) (registered trademark) sensor for collecting congestion information, etc., and map data 70 and display data 71, which will be described later. It is composed of a recording unit 7 including a hard disk or the like for non-volatile recording, and a speaker 8 for outputting guidance voice or the like. In addition to the map data 70 and the display data 71, the recording unit 7 also makes navigation data such as voice data necessary for moving guidance of a moving body equipped with the navigation device NV non-volatile. It has been recorded. At this time, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 2, the display 1, the touch panel 2, and the CPU 4 constitute an embodiment corresponding to an example of the information processing apparatus S according to the embodiment. Further, the touch panel 2 corresponds to an example of the first receiving means 2 and the second receiving means 3 according to the embodiment, and an example of the "touch type input means" according to the present application, respectively.

On the other hand, the map data 70 in the recording unit 7 includes data for drawing a map or the like displayed on the display 1 at the time of the guidance and data for displaying so-called notes corresponding to points included in the map or the like. Is recorded. Further, as the display data 71, data or the like for displaying an operation panel or the like including a function button described later according to the first embodiment on the display 1 is recorded. At this time, the function buttons and the like according to the first embodiment are displayed on the display 1 together with the map displayed using the map data 70. The map data 70 and the display data 71 are read out from the recording unit 7 by the processing unit 4 as necessary in the point selection process according to the first embodiment, and are used for the point selection process.

In the configuration described above, the processing unit 4 controls the input / output of data between the sensor unit 6 and the recording unit 7, and is based on the operation by the user (driver or the like) using the touch panel 2 and the operation unit 5. While displaying the necessary information on the display 1, the point selection process or the like according to the first embodiment is executed by using the map data 70 or the like recorded in the recording unit 7. In parallel with this, the processing unit 4 executes a navigation process for guiding the movement of the moving body on which the navigation device NV is mounted, based on the current position data and the like output from the sensor unit 6 and the navigation data. ..

Next, the point selection process according to the first embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. The point selection process is mainly executed mainly by the processing unit 4 as a part of the route search process using the navigation device NV.

The point selection process according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is started when a predetermined timing for performing the route search process in the navigation process arrives. That is, in the point selection process according to the first embodiment, when a desired map is first displayed on the display 1 using the map data 70 or the like (step S1), the processing unit 4 serves as, for example, a destination in the above route. It is determined whether or not the operation for searching the point is performed by using the touch panel 2 or the operation unit 5 (step S2). If the operation is not performed in the determination in step S2 (step S2; NO), the processing unit 4 returns to step S1 and waits while displaying the map.

On the other hand, when an operation for searching a point is performed in the determination in step S2 (step S2; YES), the processing unit 4 then displays a predetermined menu for selecting, for example, a method for selecting a destination to be searched. Display in 1 (step S3). Items included in this menu include points (as a destination) such as "name search", "genre search", "home", "current location search", "address search", or "phone number search". It is an item that shows the selection method of (point).

When the menu for selecting a point is displayed by the process of step S3, the processing unit 4 then monitors whether or not "search around the current position" is selected in the displayed menu (step S4). When "Search around the current position" is selected in the monitoring in step S4 (step S4; YES), the processing unit 4 is a map centered on the current position indicated by the current position data output from the sensor unit 6. Is displayed on the display 1 (step S5). On the other hand, in the monitoring of step S4, when a selection method other than the above-mentioned "search around the current position" such as "name search" is selected (step S4; NO), the processing unit 4 is selected in the determination of step S4. A search for a desired point is performed based on the selection method (step S6). After that, the processing unit 4 displays a map centered on the searched point on the display 1 (step S7).

Next, the processing unit 4 determines whether or not the function button according to the embodiment is displayed together with the map in a state where the desired map is displayed on the display 1 by the process of step S5 or step S7. Step S8).

Here, the function button according to the embodiment is used when setting a point on the map displayed by the process of step S5 or step S7 as any point on the search target route according to the embodiment. It is a function button used for. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, functions (attributes) corresponding to the "start point (starting point)", "ending point (destination)", and "stopping point" for forming the above route are assigned. The function buttons of the start point button BS, the end point button BG, and the stop-off button BT are displayed together with the map MP as an operation panel PL1 in an area other than the area of the display 1 on which the map MP is displayed. At this time, the start point button BS, the end point button BG, and the stop-off button BT can be selected by touching the position of the touch panel 2 corresponding to their display position from the surface, and the so-called drag-and-drop operation can be performed while touching. Displayed as possible. In the following description, when the matters common to the start point button BS, the end point button BG, and the stop button BT are explained, they are simply referred to as "function buttons" as appropriate.

In the determination of step S8, when the function button is displayed on the display 1 together with the map MP (step S8; YES), any function button is selected by the operation of the touch panel 2 (step S9), and further selected. When the processing unit 4 detects that the drag operation has been executed for the function button (step S10), the processing unit 4 then determines whether or not the drop operation has been executed for the function button for which the drag operation is being executed. Is monitored (step S11). When the drop operation is not executed and the drag operation is in progress in the monitoring of step S11 (step S11; NO), the processing unit 4 scrolls the map MP on the display 1 in response to the drag operation (step S19). After that, the process returns to step S9, detects that one of the function buttons has been selected by touch, and executes the subsequent processing.

On the other hand, when the drop operation for the function button during the drag operation is executed in the monitoring of step S11 (step S11; YES), the processing unit 4 sets the position where the drop operation is executed, for example, the XY coordinate axes on the touch panel 2. It is specified by using it (step S12), and it is determined whether or not the position is any position on the displayed map MP (step S13). If the position where the drop operation is executed is not on the map MP in the determination in step S13 (step S13; NO), the processing unit 4 returns to the above step S10 to detect a further drag operation, and executes the subsequent processing. ..

On the other hand, when the position where the drop operation is executed in the determination in step S13 is any position on the map MP (step S13; YES), the processing unit 4 performs the map MP corresponding to the position where the drop operation is executed. The attribute of the upper point is changed to the function (attribute) assigned to the function button that has been dropped (step S14). More specifically, for example, when the start point button BS as a function button is dragged (see step S10 above) and dropped (see step S11; YES above), a point on the map MP corresponding to the dropped position is performed. Let the attribute of be the "starting point". Further, for example, when the stop-off button BT as a function button is dragged (see step S10 above) and drop operation (see step S11; YES above), the attribute of the point on the map MP corresponding to the dropped operation position. Is a "stop-by place".

Next, the processing unit 4 detects whether or not the point selection process using the function button that has been dropped in the monitoring in step S11 is continued, for example, whether or not the same function button is continuously dragged. (Step S15). When the point selection process using the function button is continued in the determination in step S15 (step S15; YES), the processing unit 4 returns to step S10 to detect a further drag operation. On the other hand, when the point selection process using the same function button is not continued in the determination in step S15 (step S15; NO), the processing unit 4 then performs another function included in the currently displayed operation panel PL1. Whether or not the point selection process using the button is continued is determined by detecting, for example, whether or not another function button included in the operation panel PL1 is selected by touching the touch panel 2 or the like. (Step S16). When the point selection process using the other function buttons included in the operation panel PL1 is executed in the determination in step S16 (step S16; YES), the processing unit 4 returns to the above step S9 and one of the function buttons. Detects that is selected by touch and executes the subsequent processing.

On the other hand, when the point selection process using the other function buttons included in the currently displayed operation panel PL1 is not executed in the determination in step S16 (step S16; NO), the processing unit 4 then moves to another operation panel. It is determined whether or not the operation using the function button included in PL1 is executed, for example, by the operation in the operation unit 5 (step S17). In the determination of step S17, when it is indicated that the operation using the function button included in the other operation panel PL1 is executed (step S17; YES), the processing unit 4 of the other operation panel PL1 In order to switch to the display, the currently displayed operation panel PL1 is erased from the display 1 (step S18), and the determination in step S8 is returned. On the other hand, when the determination in step S17 does not indicate that the operation using the function button included in the other operation panel PL1 is executed (step S17; NO), the processing unit 4 performs the point selection process according to the first embodiment. Is finished, and the process proceeds to the subsequent guidance processing.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S8, when none of the function buttons are displayed on the display 1 (step S8; NO), the processing unit 4 next displays a new operation panel PL1 and refers to the function buttons included in the new operation panel PL1. It is determined whether or not it is indicated by, for example, an operation in the operation unit 5, that the assignment of a new function is executed (step S20). When the assignment of a new function to the function button is not executed in the determination in step S20, that is, when the function set as the existing function button is executed (step S20; NO), the processing unit 4 has any function. Accepting the operation of displaying a button (step S21), a new operation panel PL1 including a new function button corresponding to the operation is placed in an area other than the area where the map MP is displayed on the display 1 together with the map MP. It is displayed (step S22), and then the process proceeds to the process of step S9 to execute the necessary point selection process and the like. In the process of step S21, in the case of a process in which a plurality of function buttons are displayed at the same time, an operation panel PL1 including a set of preset function buttons for the process is prepared in advance and selected. By doing so, it is preferable to configure the new operation panel PL1 including the necessary function buttons to be collectively selected / displayed (step S21, step S22).

On the other hand, when the new function is assigned to the function button in the determination in step S20 (step S20; YES), the processing unit 4 repeats the process of assigning the new function to any of the function buttons as many times as necessary. (Step S23, step S24). As the processing of steps S23 and S24, for example, when a new editing process of the map data 70 for changing (updating) the attribute of an existing point on the map MP is performed, for example, a function button for registering a new point, an existing point. Function buttons for updating the attributes of points, function buttons for deleting or closing existing points, etc. will be newly assigned. After that, the processing unit 4 newly records the data related to the function button to which the new function is assigned in the recording unit 7 as, for example, display data 71 (step S25), and proceeds to the process of step S22.

Next, FIG. 4 is used to show a change in the display on the display 1 when the point selection process using each function button in the operation panel PL1 according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 3 is repeatedly executed. This will be explained by exemplifying.

First, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, a map MP including the current position or the searched point is displayed on the display 1 when the point selection process is executed (step 3). (See S5 or step S7), and an operation panel PL1 including a start point button BS, an end point button BG, and a stop button BT as function buttons is displayed (see step S8; YES in FIG. 3). Then, for example, when the start point button BS is selected (see step S9 in FIG. 3) and further drag-and-drop operation is performed (see step S10 and step S11 in FIG. 3; YES, and the dashed arrow in FIG. 4A), the drop is performed. The attribute of the point on the map MP on which the operation is executed is changed to "start point" (see step S14 in FIG. 3), and for example, the start point mark ST indicating the start point is displayed at that point.

Next, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, for example, when the end point button BG is selected (see step S9 in FIG. 3) and further drag-and-drop operation is performed (steps S10 and S11 in FIG. 3; YES, and FIG. 4 (a) Refer to the broken line arrow), the attribute of the point on the map MP where the drop operation was executed is changed to "End point" (see step S14 in FIG. 3), and an end point mark G indicating the end point is displayed at that point. Further, the route RT from the start point indicated by the start point mark ST to the end point indicated by the end point mark G is automatically set / displayed once (see reference numeral “RT” in FIG. 4B).

Next, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, for example, when the stop button BT is selected (see step S9 in FIG. 3), and the drag-and-drop operation is repeated one or more times (step 3 in FIG. 3). S10 and step S11; YES, and FIG. 4 (b) see the dashed arrow), and the attribute of each point on the map MP on which the drop operation was executed is changed to "stop-by" (see step S14 in FIG. 3). , For example, a stop mark T1 and a stop mark T2 indicating stop-off points are displayed at each point, and a route RT including each stop-off point is newly set / displayed (FIG. 4 (c) code "RT". "reference). At this time, for each stop, the order is set in the order selected as the stop, and the route RT from the start point is changed according to this order.

As described above, according to the point selection process according to the first embodiment, the function buttons (start point button BS, end point button BG, and stop-by button BT) displayed in one display screen together with the map MP are selected. Since the attribute of the point selected by the drag and drop operation after being done is changed to the attribute assigned to the function button, the necessary function button and map MP are displayed in one display screen. Therefore, the attributes of points in the map can be changed with a simple operation.

Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c), for example, one or a plurality of executions are executed between the acceptance of the selection operation of the stop-by button BT and the acceptance of the selection operation of another function button. Since the attribute of the point selected by the point selection operation (in this case, the selection operation of two stops) is changed to the stop, the point attribute (stop) assigned to the stop button BT is used. The attributes of one or more points can be changed at once.

Further, since the point selection operation is accepted as a drag-and-drop operation using the touch panel 2, it is possible to change the attribute of the point more easily while confirming the correspondence of the attributes.

(2) Second Example Next, a second embodiment, which is another embodiment corresponding to the embodiment, will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an editing process of map data according to the second embodiment. At this time, in FIG. 5, the same member number as each component in the information processing device S is used for each of the components of the embodiment corresponding to each component in the information processing device S according to the embodiment shown in FIG. ing.

In the first embodiment described above, the case where the embodiment is applied to the point selection process at the time of route setting has been described, but in the second embodiment described below, the map data partially described in the first embodiment described above. A case where the embodiment is applied to the point selection process in the editing process of 70 will be described. Further, since the configuration of the navigation device and the processing in the navigation device according to the second embodiment are basically the same as the configuration and processing of the navigation device NV according to the first embodiment, in the following second embodiment, The point selection process will be described by diverting the member numbers of the constituent members of the navigation device NV according to the first embodiment and further diverting the step numbers of the processes shown in FIG.

As illustrated in FIG. 5A, the map MP including the points to be edited is displayed on the display 1 when the point selection process in the editing process of the map data 70 according to the second embodiment is executed. Is displayed (see step S5 or step S7 in FIG. 3). In addition to this, on the display 1 according to the second embodiment, the new button BN which is the function button for registering the new point, the update button BM which is the function button for updating the attribute for the existing point, and the deletion for the existing point. The operation panel PL2 including the delete button BD, which is a function button for, and the close button BC, which is a function button for closing the existing point, is displayed (see step S8; YES in FIG. 3).

Then, for example, when the new button BN is selected (see step S9 in FIG. 3) and further dragged and dropped (see step S10 and step S11 in FIG. 3; YES, and the dashed arrow in FIG. 5B), the drop is performed. The attribute of the point on the map MP on which the operation was executed is changed to "new point" (see step S14 in FIG. 3), and for example, a new mark N indicating a new point is the number of points selected by the drag-and-drop operation. It will be displayed at the selected point.

Next, for example, when the update button BM is selected (see step S9 in FIG. 3) and further drag-and-drop operation is performed (see step S10 and step S11 in FIG. 3; YES, and the dashed arrow in FIG. 5 (c)), the drop is performed. The attribute of the point on the map MP on which the operation was executed is changed to "update point" (see step S14 in FIG. 3), and for example, the update mark M indicating the update point is the number of points selected by the drag-and-drop operation. It will be displayed at the selected point.

Further, for example, when the delete button BD is selected (see step S9 in FIG. 3) and further drag-and-drop operation is performed (see step S10 and step S11 in FIG. 3; YES, and FIG. 5 (d) dashed arrow), the drop operation is performed. The attribute of the point on the map MP on which is executed is changed to "deletion point" (see step S14 in FIG. 3), and for example, the deletion mark D indicating the deletion point is displayed at the point selected by the drag and drop operation.

After that, the data indicating the attributes changed as a result of the point selection process illustrated in FIG. 5 will be updated / recorded as, for example, map data 70 or display data 71.

As described above, the point selection process according to the second embodiment can also have the same effect as the point selection process according to the first embodiment.

The presence or absence of display of the operation panel PL1 or the operation panel PL2 according to each of the above-described embodiments, and the number and types of function buttons included in the operation panel PL1 or the operation panel PL2 are changed according to the scale of the map MP displayed at the same time. It can also be configured to do so. More specifically, for example, a preset threshold scale (for example, scale 1 / 10,000) or a larger scale (for example, scale) as the scale of the map MP in which the function button selection operation and the drag-and-drop operation can be effectively executed. It is also possible to configure the operation panel PL1 or the operation panel PL2 to be displayed only when the map MP of 1/1000) is displayed. In this case, it is possible to prevent the meaningless operation panel PL1 or operation panel PL2 from being displayed when the map MP of a small scale so that the operation of the function button cannot be effectively executed is displayed. The displayable area of the small-scale map MP can be expanded.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, a case where a required point is selected and its attribute is changed by a drag-and-drop operation for each function button using the touch panel 2 has been described. However, in addition to this, by selecting a function button in the operation panel PL1 or the operation panel PL2 and, for example, tapping a point on the map MP that should be changed to an attribute corresponding to the function assigned to the selected function button. The embodiment can also be applied when selections are made in succession between them without a drag operation. In this case, by continuously selecting the points to be changed to the attributes corresponding to the functions assigned to the selected function buttons (without dragging) after selecting the function buttons. It is possible to continuously change the attributes of the selected points to the desired attributes.
