Route processing unit, route processing method, and program

Abstract

To make it easy to select a route in which a communication speed recommended for content usage can be used.SOLUTION: A route processing device according to the present disclosure includes search condition acquisition means for acquiring the starting point and destination of a route to be searched and the recommended communication speed of content to be used, search condition output means for outputting the starting point and the destination to a route search server, route information acquisition means for acquiring a route from the starting point to the destination from the route search server and further acquiring the maximum communication speed of a wireless network available in each of sections that constitute the route, and route display means for displaying sections where the maximum communication speed is equal to or higher than the recommended communication speed of the content when the route is displayed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

1. A means for obtaining search conditions, which includes the origin and destination of the route to be searched, and the recommended communication speed for the content to be used. A search condition output means that outputs the departure point and the destination to the route search server, Route information acquisition means that obtains the route from the route search server from the departure point to the destination, and further obtains the maximum communication speed of the wireless network available in each section constituting the route, In displaying the aforementioned route, a route display means that displays a section in which the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed of the content, A location information acquisition means that acquires location information indicating the current location, Equipped with, The route display means displays information indicating that the current location has entered a section where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed, when the current location has entered a section where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed. Route processing unit.

2. The route information acquisition means acquires the travel time for each section constituting the route from the route search server, The route display means displays the travel time for each section that constitutes the route. Route processing device according to claim 1.

3. The search condition acquisition means acquires the usage time of the wireless network necessary to use the content, The route display means displays a route in which the total travel time of the sections designated as having a maximum communication speed equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed is equal to or greater than the wireless network usage time required to use the content. Route processing device according to claim 2.

4. The route display means displays the total travel time for the section of the route where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed. Route processing device according to claim 3.

5. The route display means superimposes on the section of the route where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed the range of wireless network usage time required to use the content. Route processing device according to claim 3.

6. The route display means displays at least one of the number of sections in the route where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed, and the number of sections in the route where the maximum communication speed is less than the recommended communication speed. Route processing device according to claim 1.

7. The route display means displays a range in which it has been determined that there are continuous sections where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed. Route processing device according to claim 1.

8. The route information acquisition means acquires information on the communication carrier in each section of the route, The route display means displays information about the communication carrier in at least the section where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed. The route processing device according to any one of claims 1 to 7.

9. The system retrieves the starting point, destination, and recommended communication speed for the content to be used for the route being searched. The departure point and destination are output to the route search server. The route from the departure point to the destination is obtained from the route search server, and the maximum communication speed of the available wireless network is obtained for each section constituting the route. In a route processing method that displays a section where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed of the content, Obtain location information indicating the current location, When the current location enters a section where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed, information indicating that the location has entered a section where the maximum communication speed is equal to or greater than the recommended communication speed is displayed. Route processing method.

10. A program that causes a computer to execute the route processing method described in Claim 9.
