Problems solved by technology

However, if the starting point is in a certain country and the destination is in another country with a different language, if the service target area of ​​​​a search server for a different route is located, a language problem will arise.
That is, when a route search is performed from a route search server whose service area is the departure point area through a route search server whose service area is the destination area, the destination area will be displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone or the navigation device. Route guides are displayed in the language used by the route retrieval server for the service provider area, which may cause inconvenience to users

Embodiment 1

[0092] figure 1 It is a system configuration diagram showing the configuration of the route guidance system 10 according to the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the route guidance system 10 is configured to include a terminal device 20 connected via a network 12 , a first route search server 30A, a second route search server 30B, and a translation server 40 . The first and second route search servers 30A and 30B of this route guide system 10 respectively use specific countries and regions as areas for providing route search and route guide services, and the first and second route search servers 30A and 30B only have Map data and network data for route search covering each specific service provision area.

[0093] In addition, the route guide system 10 is configured to further include: a POI information distribution server 50 that provides detailed information such as POI (Point of Interest) locations and service contents belonging to various categories; Various...

Embodiment 2

[0170] Figure 8 , Figure 9 The processing sequence is that the second route search server 30B does not translate the route guide information, and sends the information to the terminal device 20 through the first route search server 30A. When the terminal device 20 moves to area B, it sends information to the second route search server according to the route guide information. When 30B requests route guidance, it translates the route guide information in area B, and then sends it to the terminal device 20 to realize route guidance.

[0171] However, in this sequence, even if the terminal device 20 moves to the area B, it can also perform roaming, that is, the terminal device 20 accesses the second route search server 30B in the area B, sends the position information to the second route search server 30B, and starts from the second route search server 30B. 2. Route search server 30B uploads and downloads necessary information as a condition. Therefore, when the language of t...

Embodiment 3

[0179] In addition, in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 described above, an example in which the route search servers 30A, 30B, etc. of each area judge the service providing area from the starting point and the destination of the route search conditions and discriminate the area has been described. , a configuration in which the processing of the present invention is executed by the route search intermediary server may also be employed. Figure 11 It is a block diagram showing the configuration of the route search intermediary server 60 used in the route guidance system of the present invention.

[0180] Figure 11 The shown path search intermediary server 60 is connected to image 3 The shown route guidance system 10 receives a route search intermediary request from each route search server 30A, 30B, etc., specifies a route search server necessary for route search and route guidance, mediates the route search request, and provides the route search result to the route. Retrieve...

Abstract

In a navigation system that finds routes and provides navigation extending across countries or regions, navigation is performed for cases in which languages differ in the countries or regions being navigated. The navigation system is equipped with first and second route search servers (30A, 30B), which use first and second areas as service areas, respectively, and a terminal device (20). When the terminal device (20) requests a route search, the system determines the second route search server (30B) with the first route search server (30A) to find and link the routes in the respective areas and to determine a recommended route. If the language used by the route search server is different from the language used by the terminal device (20), the route search server translates words other than key words, such as proper nouns, in the navigation information, which gives the recommended route, into the language used by the terminal device (20) and supplies the translation to the terminal device (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a route guide system that searches and guides candidate routes from any starting point to a destination by foot, car or public transportation, and in particular relates to when searching and guiding a route that uses roads or vehicles across countries and regions, to deal with guidance objects A route guidance system, a route search server, a route search intermediary server, and a route guidance method for performing route guidance when the languages ​​of countries and regions are different. Background technique [0002] Hitherto, there are known navigation devices and navigation systems that use map data and road data to search for a route from a desired departure point to a destination, and then guide the user. As above-mentioned such navigation device, navigation system, have been actually used for example: the car navigation device that guides route to the driver that is loaded on the car, the terminal device that ...
