Information gathering systems, methods, and programs

Abstract

Provided is an information collection system comprising: a current location detection unit that detects the current location; travel information creation processing means that generates travel information accompanying the travel of a vehicle; position information transmission processing means that transmits the current location as position information to the information center (51); the actual driving conditions of other vehicles obtain a request processing mechanism, which sends the actual driving conditions of other vehicles to the information center (51); and the collection and processing mechanism of driving information, which obtains the request based on the actual driving conditions of other vehicles , to collect driving information of vehicles within a specific area set based on location information. Since only the driving information of the vehicles in the specific area set based on the location information is collected, the actual driving conditions of other vehicles can be obtained in real time. It is possible to reduce the communication fee for sending travel information to the information center (51), and reduce the fee for information collection without wasting communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a program of an information collection system and an information collection method. Background technique [0002] In the past, in a navigation device, the current position of the vehicle, that is, the current location, is detected by, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System), and the orientation of the vehicle, that is, the vehicle orientation, is detected based on the turning angle of the vehicle detected by a gyro sensor. The map data is read from the data recording unit, a map screen is formed on the display unit, and the current position of the vehicle, a map around the position of the vehicle, and the direction of the vehicle are displayed on the map screen. Therefore, the operator, that is, the driver, can drive the vehicle according to the position of the own vehicle, the map around the position of the own vehicle, and the direction of the own vehicle displayed on the map screen. [0003] Also, when the driv...
