摘要:
In a navigation system using a bird's-eye view display mode, map data on a plan view map are subjected to a perspective projection conversion to obtain drawing data on a bird's-eye view map. In this case, an input of the position of a view point is accepted, and a projection plane for a bird's-eye view is determined on the basis of the coordinates of a current position and a destination and the position of the view point so that the display positions of the two points which have been subjected to perspective-projection conversion are coincident with predetermined positions. Alternatively, an input of a scale is accepted, and the position of the view point and the projection plane are determined on the basis of the coordinates of the two points and the scale so that the display positions of the two points after the perspective projection conversion are coincident with predetermined positions and the drawing scale is coincident with the input scale. Or, as a further alternative, an input of the projection angle is accepted, and the projection plane is determined on the basis of the projection angle and the position of the view point.

A travel environment information collecting device mounted on a vehicle comprises a collecting means (12) which collects travel environment information of a road on which the vehicle concerned is travelling, a receiver means (14) which receives travel environment information being transmitted from an information center which stores an advance travel environment information, a judgement means which judges whether a processing of updating or new generation for a part of the received travel environment information is necessary by making use the collected travel environment information; and a transmitting means (13) which transmits the travel environment information collected by the collecting means and to be used for the concerned processing to the information center when the judgement means judges that either the updating processing or the new generation processing is necessary.

In a broadcasting type information providing system, a moving body 10 includes a bidirectional communication unit 13 which performs communication with an information providing center 21, an information processing unit 11 which communicates request information necessary for a user via the bidirectional communication unit 13 to the information providing center 21 as well as presents answer information with respect to the request information to the user and a broadcast receiving unit 14 which receives the answer information broadcasted from a broadcasting station 22, and the information providing center 21 generates the answer information with respect to the request information being transmitted from the moving body 10 as well as selects a broadcasting station 22 of which service area covers the position of the moving body 10 depending on the position of the moving body 10 detected either at the side of the moving body 10 or at the side of the information providing center 21 and causes the selected broadcasting station 21 to broadcast the answer information, thereby when transferring information from the information providing center 21 to the moving body 10, an optimum communication means and broadcasting station can be selected.

The view point-setting part (305) calculates the position of the view point V to be set behind the current position of the car and up in the air, based on the current position calculated by the current position-measuring part and the position correcting part (307). The data reading part (308) reads out map data M (3) about map elements such as buildings, which are located around the current position. The representing method-changing part (312) calculates the distance or level difference between the view point and each of the map elements, and, for example, changes the representation shapes of ones of the map elements near the view point, that is, in the region within a predetermined distance from the view point, to detailed shapes, and the rest ones far from the view point, that is, outside the region within a predetermined distance from the view point, to simple shapes, respectively. Finally, the display processing part (311) composes an image of each of the map element according to the displaying mode of the map element, which is sent from the representation method-changing part (312), and displays the image.

In order to provide a navigation system intelligibly providing various information which contains information to vary with time and is expected by the user, without increasing quantity of the information to be transmitted to a terminal mounted on a car, a navigation system is constituted with an information offering equipment and an information display system, and said information offering equipment has an individual information reception means (80) to obtain individual information through a network and a data transmission means to transmit the received information to the information display system, and said information display system has a data receiver receiving the data from the information offering equipment, a map display means (54), an icon display means (64) displaying the received data on a map, an icon select means (67), and a detailed information display means which displays the detailed information of an icon selected.
摘要:
A navigation apparatus for displaying most appropriately information such as character strings, routes, etc., when a map is displayed by bird's-eye view display. The navigation apparatus includes a portion (1) for calculating the present position on the basis of information from sensors (S5-S8), a portion for executing perspective conversion operation for displaying a map by bird's-eye view display, a portion for disposing the present position or the present position and a position representing a destination at the most suitable positions, a portion for controlling so that overlap of character strings can be eliminated, a portion for controlling the same character strings, a portion for displaying most appropriately a background such as lines and planes, a portion (70) for controlling marks to be displayed, and a portion (71) for executing graphic plotting by using the resulting map data.
