[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of these points, and an object thereof is to enable a user to obtain geographical information from a geographical information server from which the user wants to obtain geographical information and display it on the map.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A terminal according to a first aspect of the present invention is a terminal that displays geographic information on a map, and the terminal functions as a geographic information acquisition unit that accesses a geographic information server that provides geographic information based on the address of the geographic information server and acquires the geographic information, and a conversion unit that converts the geographic information acquired by the geographic information acquisition unit into drawing data having coordinate information corresponding to the coordinate system of the map displayed on the display unit of the terminal, wherein the conversion unit stores a conversion program that is not associated with an address, and the address where the conversion program is stored is the address for acquiring the geographic information provided by the geographic information server. The system includes a storage unit for storing an address to be acquired, an association unit for receiving the address of the geographic information server from the user of the terminal and associating the received address with the conversion program, a drawing data acquisition unit for receiving the selection of an acquisition address and executing the conversion program indicated by the acquisition address, causing the conversion program to acquire geographic information from the geographic information server based on the address associated by the association unit, and acquiring the drawing data by converting the acquired geographic information into drawing data, and a display control unit for overlaying and displaying the drawing data on the map displayed on the display unit.

[0007] The terminal may include a program acquisition unit that receives the address of a server where the conversion program is stored and acquires the conversion program from the server based on the server's address, and a storage control unit that stores the conversion program acquired by the program acquisition unit in the storage unit and stores the address of the conversion program in the storage unit as the acquisition address in the storage unit.

[0008] The storage unit stores a plurality of conversion programs corresponding to each of the plurality of data formats that the geographic information can take, the geographic information acquisition unit of the conversion program acquires the geographic information in the data format supported by the conversion program, and the conversion unit of the conversion program converts the geographic information in the data format supported by the conversion program, acquired by the geographic information acquisition unit, into the drawing data.

[0009] The association unit may display a screen on the display unit that accepts the address of the geographic information server, and may accept the address of the geographic information server from the user of the terminal via the screen.

[0010] The association unit identifies a parameter for identifying the geographic information to be acquired from among a plurality of geographic information provided by the geographic information server, which is included in the address of the geographic information server received from the user of the terminal. The drawing data acquisition unit accepts the selection of the acquisition address and the specification of the value of the parameter identified by the association unit. The conversion program may acquire the geographic information corresponding to the specified parameter value from the geographic information server based on the address associated by the association unit and the specified parameter value, and then acquire the drawing data by converting the acquired geographic information into drawing data.

[0011] The association unit may identify the parameter by generating a prompt in the large-scale language model to extract the parameter from the address of the geographic information server received from the user of the terminal, inputting the generated prompt to the large-scale language model, and obtaining the parameter from the large-scale language model.

[0012] An information processing method according to a second aspect of the present invention is an information processing method executed by a computer that displays geographic information on a map, wherein the storage unit of the computer functions as a conversion program that causes the computer to function as a geographic information acquisition unit that accesses a geographic information server that provides geographic information based on the address of the geographic information server and acquires the geographic information, and a conversion unit that converts the geographic information acquired by the geographic information acquisition unit into drawing data having coordinate information corresponding to the coordinate system of the map displayed on the display unit, wherein the storage unit stores a conversion program that is not associated with an address, and the storage address of the conversion program is provided by the geographic information server before The system includes the steps of: storing an acquisition address which is an address for acquiring geographic information; receiving an address of a geographic information server that provides geographic information from a user and associating the received address with a conversion program; receiving the selection of the acquisition address and executing the conversion program indicated by the acquisition address, causing the conversion program to acquire geographic information from the geographic information server based on the address associated by the association unit, and acquiring the drawing data by converting the acquired geographic information into drawing data; and displaying the drawing data superimposed on the map displayed on the display unit.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] [Overview of Terminal 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of Terminal 1. Terminal 1 is a computer such as a personal computer or a tablet that displays geographic information on a map. Terminal 1 is communicably connected via a communication network such as the Internet to a plurality of geographic information servers 2 that provide geographic information.

[0016] One or more conversion programs for obtaining geographic information from the geographic information server 2 are stored in Terminal 1. The conversion program is, for example, a program that accesses the geographic information server 2 to obtain geographic information and converts the obtained geographic information into drawing data having coordinate information corresponding to the coordinate system of the map displayed on the display unit of Terminal 1. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the address of the geographic information server 2 is not associated with the conversion program in the initial state.

[0017] Also, in Terminal 1, there is a storage area called a container that stores the conversion program and stores the address on Terminal 1 where the conversion program is stored as an acquisition address, which is an address for obtaining geographic information provided by the geographic information server 2.

[0018] In the present embodiment, in order to enable Terminal 1 to use a conversion program with which the address of the geographic information server 2 is not associated, Terminal 1 receives the address of the geographic information server 2 from the user of Terminal 1 (step (1) in FIG. 1) and associates the received address with the conversion program (step (2) in FIG. 1).

[0019] After that, the terminal 1 accepts the selection of the acquisition address (step (3) in FIG. 1). The terminal 1 executes the conversion program indicated by the accepted acquisition address. The conversion program acquires geographical information from the geographical information server 2 based on the address of the geographical information server 2 associated with itself (step (4) in FIG. 1), converts the acquired geographical information into drawing data, and outputs it.

[0020] The terminal 1 acquires the drawing data output from the conversion program (step (5) in FIG. 1). Then, the terminal 1 superimposes and displays the acquired drawing data on the map displayed on its own display unit (step (6) in FIG. 1).

[0021] By doing so, the user can associate the address of the geographical information server 2 for which the user wants to acquire geographical information with the conversion program, acquire geographical information from the geographical information server 2, and display it on the map.

[0022] [Functional Configuration of Terminal 1] Subsequently, the details of the configuration of the terminal 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the terminal 1. The terminal 1 includes a communication unit 11, an operation unit l2, a display unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a control unit 15.

[0023] The communication unit 11 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from an external device such as the geographical information server 2 via a communication network such as the Internet or a mobile phone line. The operation unit 12 is an operation device such as a mouse or a keyboard that accepts user operations.

[0024] The display unit 13 is a display for displaying various types of information. For example, the display unit 13 displays map information under the control of the control unit 15. In addition, the display unit 13 displays the drawing data converted from the geographical information by the conversion program superimposed on the map information under the control of the control unit 15.

[0025] The memory unit 14 is a storage medium for storing various types of data, and includes ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), SSD (Solid State Drive), and hard disk. The memory unit 14 stores programs executed by the control unit 15. The memory unit 14 stores conversion programs that cause the control unit 15 to function as a geographic information acquisition unit 151 and a conversion unit 152. The memory unit 14 stores multiple conversion programs corresponding to each of the multiple data formats that geographic information can take. The multiple data formats that geographic information can take include, for example, JSON (JavaScript® Object Notation) format, CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format, etc.

[0026] The memory unit 14 initially stores a conversion program that is not associated with the address of the geographic information server 2. The association unit 155, described later, writes the address of the geographic information server 2 as configuration information to this conversion program. As a result, the address of the geographic information server 2 is associated with the conversion program.

[0027] Furthermore, the memory unit 14 stores a geographic information display program that causes the control unit 15 to function as a program acquisition unit 153, an association unit 155, a map information acquisition unit 156, a drawing data acquisition unit 157, and a display control unit 158. The geographic information display program is, for example, a program that runs on a browser such as a web application.

[0028] Furthermore, the memory unit 14 has a memory area called a container for storing geographic information acquisition information, which is the address where the conversion program is stored and associates an acquisition address, which is the address for acquiring geographic information provided by the geographic information server 2, with geographic information identification information for identifying the geographic information. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of geographic information acquisition information. As shown in Figure 3, it can be confirmed that the acquisition address (storage address) and the geographic information name as geographic information identification information are associated.

[0029] The control unit 15 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 15 functions as a geographic information acquisition unit 151 and a conversion unit 152 by executing a conversion program stored in the memory unit 14. In addition, the control unit 15 functions as a program acquisition unit 153, a memory control unit 154, an association unit 155, a map information acquisition unit 156, a drawing data acquisition unit 157, and a display control unit 158 ​​by executing a geographic information display program stored in the memory unit 14.

[0030] [Description of the conversion program's functions] First, we will explain the geographic information acquisition unit 151 and the conversion unit 152, which are functions of the conversion program.

[0031] The geographic information acquisition unit 151 accesses the geographic information server 2, which provides geographic information, based on the server's address and acquires the geographic information. For example, the geographic information server 2 provides geographic information in a predetermined data format, and the geographic information acquisition unit 151 accesses the geographic information server 2 based on the server's address, which is written as configuration information in the conversion program. The geographic information acquisition unit 151 then acquires the geographic information in the predetermined data format provided by the geographic information server 2 from the geographic information storage location in the geographic information server 2 indicated by the address.

[0032] The conversion unit 152 converts the geographic information acquired by the geographic information acquisition unit 151, which is in a data format supported by the conversion program, into drawing data in a predetermined data format having coordinate information corresponding to the coordinate system of the map displayed on the display unit 13, and outputs it. The data format of the drawing data is, for example, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), KML (Keyhole Markup Language), or GeoRSS (Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS). The conversion unit 152 outputs the converted drawing data in the predetermined data format superimposed on the map on a browser such as a web application, based on the coordinate information contained in the drawing data and the coordinate information of the map.

[0033] [Description of the functions of the geographic information display program] Next, we will explain the functions of the geographic information display program: the program acquisition unit 153, the association unit 155, the map information acquisition unit 156, the drawing data acquisition unit 157, and the display control unit 158.

[0034] The program acquisition unit 153 receives the address of a server (not shown) where the conversion program is stored, and acquires the conversion program from the server based on the server's address. For example, when a geographic information display program is executed, the control unit 15 displays a web page for geographic information display on the display unit 13. The web page for geographic information display has a menu. When the program acquisition unit 153 receives a selection of the conversion program acquisition function from the menu, it displays an address reception screen on the display unit 13 that accepts the address of the storage location of the conversion program, and accepts the address of the storage location of the conversion program. In response to receiving the address, the program acquisition unit 153 accesses the address and acquires the conversion program. The storage control unit 154 stores the conversion program acquired by the program acquisition unit 153 in the storage unit 14.

[0035] The association unit 155 receives the address of the geographic information server 2 from the user of terminal 1 and associates the received address with the conversion program. For example, when the association unit 155 receives a selection of the function to associate the address of the geographic information server 2 with the conversion program in the menu of the web page for displaying geographic information, it displays an association screen, which is a screen for receiving the address of the geographic information server 2, on the display unit 13, and receives the address of the geographic information server 2 from the user of terminal 1 through this screen.

[0036] The association unit 155 accepts the selection of a conversion program to be associated with the address of the geographic information server 2 from among the conversion programs that are not currently associated with the address of the geographic information server 2, via the association screen. The association unit 155 also accepts the address of the geographic information server 2 to be associated with the selected conversion program, that is, the address indicating the storage location of the geographic information provided by the geographic information server 2.

[0037] The association unit 155 may also display, on the association screen, the program name or executable file name for identifying one or more conversion programs that are not associated with the address of the geographic information server 2, and the geographic information data format supported by that conversion program, in association with each other. In this way, the user can check the geographic information data format supported by the conversion program, making it easier to select a conversion program to associate with the address.

[0038] The association unit 155, upon receiving the selection of the conversion program to be associated with the address and the address of the geographic information server 2 to be associated with the program, writes the address of the geographic information server 2 to the conversion program as configuration information. This associates the address of the geographic information server 2 with the conversion program.

[0039] Here, the address of the geographic information server 2 received from the user of terminal 1 may include parameters such as date and time to identify the geographic information to be provided from among multiple pieces of geographic information. For this reason, it is preferable that when the user obtains geographic information from the geographic information server 2 using a conversion program, the user can specify the value of this parameter and obtain the geographic information corresponding to the specified parameter.

[0040] In contrast, the association unit 155 may identify parameters for identifying the target geographic information from among the multiple geographic information provided by the geographic information server 2, which are included in the address of the geographic information server 2 received from the user of terminal 1. For example, the association unit 155 may generate a prompt for a large-scale language model (not shown) to extract parameters from the address of the geographic information server received from the user of terminal 1. The association unit 155 may then input the generated prompt to the large-scale language model and identify the parameters by obtaining them from the large-scale language model.

[0041] The association unit 155 may generate a prompt containing an instruction that causes a large-scale language model to specifically infer what the identified parameter is, and based on this prompt, cause the large-scale language model to infer the item name of the parameter. The association unit 155 may then convert the address of the geographic information server 2 received from the user of terminal 1 to an address containing the identified parameter, and associate the converted address with a conversion program. The association unit 155 stores the identified parameter and the inferred item name of the parameter in the storage unit 14 as parameter information, associating them with the conversion program. The association unit 155 may also accept editing of the parameter and the item name of the parameter.

[0042] The memory control unit 154 stores the address of the conversion program in the storage unit 14 as an acquisition address in the storage unit 14 container, in response to the address of the geographic information server 2 being associated with the conversion program. For example, at the time the association unit 155 associates the address of the geographic information server 2 with the conversion program, the memory control unit 154 identifies the geographic information name, associates the identified geographic information name with the acquisition address, and stores it in the container.

[0043] For example, the memory control unit 154 may identify the geographic information name by receiving the geographic information name from the user in response to the address of the geographic information server 2 being associated with the conversion program, or it may acquire information about geographic information from the geographic information server 2 based on the address of the geographic information server 2 and identify the geographic information name based on the acquired information. In addition, the memory control unit 154 may receive the geographic information name to be acquired by the conversion program at the time the program acquisition unit 153 acquires the conversion program, associate the geographic information name with the acquisition address, and store it in the container.

[0044] The map information acquisition unit 156 accesses a server (not shown) that provides map information and acquires map information from that server. For example, when the map information acquisition unit 156 receives a selection of a function to display a map in the menu of a web page for displaying geographic information, it accesses a server that provides map information and acquires map information. The display control unit 158 ​​causes the display unit 13 to display the map indicated by the map information acquired by the map information acquisition unit 156.

[0045] The drawing data acquisition unit 157 accepts the selection of an acquisition address stored in the container and executes the conversion program indicated by the selected acquisition address. For example, when a map is displayed on a web page for displaying geographic information, the display control unit 158, upon receiving a predetermined operation, displays the name of the geographic information included in the geographic information acquisition information stored in the container on the display unit 13. The drawing data acquisition unit 157 accepts the selection of an acquisition address by accepting the selection of a geographic information name via the web page for displaying geographic information.

[0046] Figure 4 shows an example of accepting selection of geographic information names. In the example shown in Figure 4, it can be seen that the geographic information names associated with the storage address shown in Figure 3 are displayed as selectable options along with the map.

[0047] The drawing data acquisition unit 157 instructs a conversion program corresponding to the selected acquisition address to acquire geographic information from the geographic information server 2 based on the address associated by the association unit 155, and acquires drawing data by converting the acquired geographic information into drawing data.

[0048] Here, when the drawing data acquisition unit 157 receives a selection of an acquisition address stored in the container, it may determine whether parameter information is associated with the conversion program corresponding to the acquisition address. If the drawing data acquisition unit 157 determines that parameter information is associated with the conversion program, that is, when the address of the geographic information server 2 indicated by the conversion program corresponding to the acquisition address is an address containing the parameter identified by the association unit 155, it accepts the selection of the acquisition address and also accepts the specification of the parameter value. For example, the drawing data acquisition unit 157 accepts the specification of the parameter value by displaying the item name of the parameter indicated by the parameter information and the input form for the parameter value on the display unit 13 and accepting the input of the parameter value.

[0049] The drawing data acquisition unit 157 then instructs the conversion program to acquire geographic information from the geographic information server 2 based on the address of the geographic information server 2 associated by the association unit 155 and the value of the specified parameter, corresponding to the value of the specified parameter. For example, the drawing data acquisition unit 157 converts an address that includes the parameter, which is associated with the conversion program, into an address that reflects the value of the specified parameter by inputting the value of the specified parameter into the parameter included in that address. The conversion to an address that reflects the value of the parameter may be performed by the conversion program.

[0050] The drawing data acquisition unit 157 then instructs the conversion program to acquire geographic information corresponding to the specified parameter value from the geographic information server 2 based on the converted address. In this way, terminal 1 can acquire geographic information corresponding to the parameter value specified by the user from the geographic information server 2.

[0051] The display control unit 158 ​​causes the display unit 13 to display the map indicated by the map information acquired by the map information acquisition unit 156. The display control unit 158 ​​also overlays the drawing data acquired by the drawing data acquisition unit 157 onto the map. Figure 5 shows an example in which the drawing data is displayed overlaid on the map. Figure 5 shows an example in which a Japanese weather map is selected as the geographic information, and it can be seen that the weather map is displayed overlaid on the map.

[0052] [flowchart] Next, we will explain the processing flow for terminal 1. First, we will explain the processing flow for associating the address of geographic information server 2 with the conversion program. Figure 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing flow for associating the address of geographic information server 2 with the conversion program.

[0053] First, the program acquisition unit 153 receives the address where the conversion program is stored and acquires the conversion program based on that address (S1). Next, the memory control unit 154 stores the acquired conversion program in the memory unit 14 (S2).

[0054] Next, the association unit 155 receives the selection of a conversion program to be associated with an address and receives the address of the geographic information server 2 to be associated with the conversion program (S3). Subsequently, the association unit 155 associates the received address of the geographic information server 2 with the selected conversion program (S4).

[0055] Next, the memory control unit 154 identifies the geographic information name and stores the identified geographic information name in a container, associating it with the acquisition address (S5). This completes the preparation for acquiring the geographic information via the conversion program.

[0056] Next, we will explain the process of displaying geographic information on a map using a conversion program. Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of displaying geographic information on a map using a conversion program.

[0057] First, the map information acquisition unit 156 accesses a server that provides map information and acquires the map information. The display control unit 158 ​​displays the map indicated by the map information acquired by the map information acquisition unit 156 on the display unit 13 (S11). The map information acquisition unit 156 may acquire further map information at any time after the map information is displayed on the display unit 13 in response to user operation. In this case, the display control unit 158 ​​updates the map displayed on the display unit 13 in accordance with the new map information acquired by the map information acquisition unit 156.

[0058] When a map is displayed on the display unit 13, the display control unit 158, upon receiving a predetermined operation, displays the name of the geographic information included in the geographic information acquisition information stored in the container on the display unit 13. The drawing data acquisition unit 157 accepts the selection of the acquisition address by accepting the selection of the geographic information name (S12).

[0059] Next, the drawing data acquisition unit 157 executes a conversion program corresponding to the selected acquisition address (S13). As a result, terminal 1 functions as a geographic information acquisition unit 151 and a conversion unit 152.

[0060] The geographic information acquisition unit 151 accesses the geographic information server 2 based on the address of the geographic information server 2 and acquires geographic information (S14). The conversion unit 152 converts the geographic information acquired by the geographic information acquisition unit 151 into drawing data having coordinate information corresponding to the coordinate system of the map displayed on the display unit 13 (S15).

[0061] The drawing data acquisition unit 157 acquires drawing data converted from geographic information by the conversion unit 152 (S16). Then, the display control unit 158 ​​overlays the acquired drawing data onto the map and displays it (S17).

[0062] [Effects of Terminal 1] As described above, the terminal 1 according to this embodiment receives the address of a geographic information server from the user and associates the received address with a conversion program stored in the storage unit 14 that is not associated with the address of the geographic information server 2. The terminal 1 then accepts the selection of an acquisition address as the storage address of the conversion program, executes the conversion program indicated by the acquisition address, causes the conversion program to acquire geographic information from the geographic information server 2 based on the address associated with the conversion program, acquires the acquired geographic information by converting it into drawing data, and displays the acquired drawing data superimposed on the map displayed on the display unit 13. In this way, the terminal 1 allows the user to acquire geographic information from the geographic information server 2 from which they wish to acquire geographic information and display it on the map.

[0063] Furthermore, this invention will make it possible to contribute to Goal 9 of the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation."

[0064] Although the present invention has been described above using embodiments, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of its gist. For example, all or part of the apparatus can be configured by functionally or physically distributing and integrating in any unit.
