Abstract
A map recording device includes: a display which displays information; a storage; and a processor. The processor causes the display to perform a display of an arbitrary region expressed by browsing map information specified by a user's manipulation. The processor further acquires partial map information from the browsing map information. The partial map information is map information other than the browsing map information and expresses a region corresponding to a whole region displayed in the display. The storage stores the partial map information acquired in the acquiring.
Claims13
A smart watch comprising:
- a display;
- a storage;
- a communication unit which executes sending or receiving signals;
- and
- a processor which executes functions comprising:
- causing the display to display an arbitrary region, the arbitrary region being a region of browsing map information and being specified by a user's manipulation;
- causing the communication unit to send a signal corresponding to the arbitrary region to an external device;
- causing the communication unit to receive partial map information from the external device, the partial map information comprising at least the arbitrary region;
- and
- causing the storage to store the partial map information as map information of a necessary region, in response to the communication unit receiving the partial map information,
- wherein the arbitrary region is specified by the user magnifying or reducing a portion of the displayed browsing map information or moving a region of the displayed browsing map information so as to determine a view area of the browsing map information, as the user's manipulation, and
- wherein the partial map information received from the external device corresponds to a whole region magnified or reduced or moved by the user's manipulation and displayed on the display.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer, the program causing the computer, which controls a smart watch equipped with a display, a storage, and a communication unit, to execute functions comprising:
- causing the display to display an arbitrary region, the arbitrary region being a region of browsing map information and being specified by a user's manipulation;
- causing the communication unit to send a signal corresponding to the arbitrary region to an external device;
- causing the communication unit to receive partial map information from the external device, the partial map information comprising at least the arbitrary region;
- and
- causing the storage to store the partial map information as map information of a necessary region, in response to the communication unit receiving the partial map information,
- wherein the arbitrary region is specified by the user magnifying or reducing a portion of the displayed browsing map information or moving a region of the displayed browsing map information so as to determine a view area of the browsing map information, as the user's manipulation, and
- wherein the partial map information received from the external device corresponds to a whole region magnified or reduced or moved by the user's manipulation and displayed on the display.
A map recording method of a smart watch comprising a display, a storage, and a communication unit, the map recording method comprising:
- causing the display to display an arbitrary region, the arbitrary region being a region of browsing map information and being specified by a user's manipulation;
- causing the communication unit to send a signal corresponding to the arbitrary region to an external device;
- causing the communication unit to receive partial map information from the external device, the partial map information comprising at least the arbitrary region;
- and
- causing the storage to store the partial map information as map information of a necessary region, in response to the communication unit receiving the partial map information,
- wherein the arbitrary region is specified by the user magnifying or reducing a portion of the displayed browsing map information or moving a region of the displayed browsing map information so as to determine a view area of the browsing map information, as the user's manipulation, and
- wherein the partial map information received from the external device corresponds to a whole region magnified or reduced or moved by the user's manipulation and displayed on the display.
