Facility output system, facility output method, and facility output program

A facility output method comprising:

• receiving first information input by a user specifying a purpose for which the user intends to utilize the facility to be output;
• specifying a first facility type that enables the specified purpose to be achieved based on purpose information stored in a memory and constituted by associating one or more facility types with each of a plurality of purposes that are achievable at the facility type;
• specifying a second facility type, that is different form the first facility type based on second information input by the user;
• performing location integration by:
• determining whether the specified purpose can be achieved at the specified second facility type based on the stored purpose information;
• if the specified purpose can be achieved at the second facility type, designating the second facility type as a common facility type;
• and
• specifying a facility corresponding to the specified common facility type on the basis of facility information stored in the memory and constituted by associating each facility type with a plurality of corresponding facilities;
• and
• outputting the specified facility as a target for vehicle navigation.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable facility output program that causes a computer to execute the following functions:

• receiving first information input by a user specifying a purpose for which the user intends to utilize the facility to be output;
• specifying a first facility type that enables the specified purpose to be achieved based on purpose information stored in a memory and constituted by associating one or more facility types with each of a plurality of purposes that are achievable at the facility type;
• specifying a second facility type, that is different form the first facility type based on second information input by the user;
• performing location integration by:
• determining whether the specified purpose can be achieved at the specified second facility type based on the stored purpose information;
• if the specified purpose can be achieved at the second facility type, designating the second facility type as a common facility type;
• and
• specifying a facility corresponding to the specified common facility type on the basis of facility information stored in the memory and constituted by associating each facility type with a plurality of corresponding facilities;
• and
• outputting the specified facility as a target for vehicle navigation.
