Abstract
In a car-mounted terminal device 1 including a virtual machine 101 requesting output of first information and a navigation portion 115 requesting output of second information, a first index representing an information quantity of first information is created and a timing for outputting the first information is planned on the basis of the first index so created. A second index representing an information quantity of second information is created and a timing for outputting the first information or the second information is planned on the basis of the first index and the second index.
Claims18
An information output control method for a car-mounted terminal device including a virtual machine requesting output of first information and a navigation portion requesting output of second information, wherein a method executed by said car-mounted terminal device includes the steps of:
- generating a first index representing an information quantity of said first information;
- and
- planning a timing for outputting said first information on the basis of said first index.
A computer program product in a car-mounted terminal device containing a program for accomplishing:
- a virtual machine function requesting output of first information;
- a navigation function requesting output of second information;
- a function of generating a first index representing an information quantity of said first information;
- a function of generating a second index representing an information quantity of said second information;
- and
- a function of planning a timing for outputting said first information or said second information on the basis of said first index and said second index.
A car-mounted terminal device comprising:
- an application program portion for generating guide information by Internet information, etc;
- a virtual machine portion for executing said application program;
- a navigation portion including a road information database, a point information database, a route search portion and a route guide plan portion;
- and
- an information output control portion for planning an output timing of first information outputted from said virtual machine portion and second information outputted from said route guide plan portion, and outputting said first information or said second information at said output timing.
