    摘要: A navigation device at least includes a CPU and a detector generating a detection signal for determining whether a main device is used inside a vehicle or not. If determining, based on the detection signal from the detector, that the main device is used inside the vehicle, the CPU operates in on-vehicle mode to carry out first navigation (present position estimation and route search) suitable for use in the vehicle. Otherwise, the CPU operates in off-vehicle mode to carry out second navigation (present position estimation and route search) suitable for use outside of the vehicle. Thus, the navigation device can automatically switch its operation mode between on-vehicle mode and off-vehicle mode.

    摘要: In order to implement a navigation device in which landmarks are much less monotonous, and the applicability thereof is wider, the navigation device of the present invention operates as follows. A landmark is displayed in either normal display (still) and emphatic display (animated) by referring to landmark information. Specifically, referring to for normal display is shape information and positional information in the landmark information, and for emphatic display, an emphatic display execution file therein is referred to. For emphatic display, a group of instruction described in the emphatic display execution file are interpreted and executed so that the landmark is animated.

    摘要: In a navigation apparatus Anavil, a CPU 1 searches for a plurality of routes from a starting point to a destination. Those route share the same starting point and the destination, but vary in course on the way. Then for route selection, the CPU 1 refers to position information provided by a locator 9 to determine which route the user is now moving. In this manner, the navigation apparatus can automatically select one route from several others derived through route search.

    摘要: A map displaying apparatus for improving the visual recognition of an object displayed as a 3D image. A map data acquisition section acquires map data to be displayed for navigation purposes. A displayed state estimation section receives the map data acquired by the map data acquisition section, and estimates a displayed state of the displayed object based on the map data. A display mode determination section determines whether the displayed state as estimated by the displayed state estimation section satisfies a predetermined criterion or not, thereby determining whether to modify a default display mode. When determining that a modification is to be applied, the display mode determination section modifies the default display mode to determine an actual display mode. In accordance with the determined display mode of each displayed object, the displayed image generation section generates image data for displaying a 3D map from the acquired map data.

    摘要: Based on searched route information and map data, a target intersection for guidance is specified. For the specified target intersection, lane data regarding the number of lanes and lane control of roads being connected thereto is read, and then recommended lane information which indicates which lane to take when entering the target intersection and to exit therefrom is generated. Based on information about the target intersection and the lane data, a simplified intersection image of the target intersection for lane guidance is generated. Based on the recommended lane information, a running path which passes through the recommended lanes for entering into and exiting from the target intersection is generated, and is combined with the intersection image. Then, lane guidance information for displaying the resultant intersection image is outputted with a predetermined timing. As such, guidance can be visually made on a screen indicating which lanes to take to enter into and exit from the intersection.

    摘要: In a navigation device (Unv), a processor 1 reads directional object data (Ddr) from a storage 4 onto a working area 3. The directional object data (Ddr) has a message plane and a plain plane, thereby representing a directional object whose planes are each facing in a different direction. Based on the positional relationship between the user's current position and the directional object, the processor 1 determines whether to render the message plane or the plain plane of the directional object. In the case of the message plane, the processor 1 renders it opaque. On the other hand, the processor 1 renders the plain plane transparent or translucent. In this manner, the resulting display image data generated by the navigation device (Unv) can represent maps meeting the user's demands and needs

    摘要: A map information storage stores map information including roads, landmarks, and areas. An overlap determination unit determines whether a landmark and an area overlap with a road in consideration of a road and its width. A position changer moves the overlapping landmark and area to positions where they do not overlap with the road on width display. A changed map information storage stores map information including changed positional information of the landmarks and the areas. If the changed map information is displayed on a screen, the landmarks and the areas are displayed so as not to overlap with roads on width display.

    摘要: A mobile terminal 31 detects its position, speed, and direction, and judges a control requirement based on the detected position, speed, and direction. Based on the judgment, the mobile terminal 31 transmits a message corresponding to the control requirement that has been satisfied to a control terminal 33. The control terminal 33 judges a message requirement based on the received message. Based on the judgment, the control terminal 33 transmits a control command corresponding to the message requirement that has been satisfied to a control target appliance 34. The control target appliance 34 executes an operation by following the received command.

    摘要: In a map display device, a communications part 7 receives various information from an external system, and a map data arranging part 4 arranges in a map space object models each indicating those various information. Such data arrangement is done based on map data stored in a map data storage part 3, information from the communications part 7 and an input part 2, and object model display information stored in an object model display information storage part 6. A display 5 then displays a resultant map image. In such manner, various time-varying information are appropriately arranged for display on the map image so as to make a user intuitively understand what those information mean.
