Abstract
A navigation script includes time and point information for navigation and information for guidance, and describes an instruction sequence which can represent these information in time series in a mark-up language. According to the structured data generated from the navigation script, an instruction corresponding to a current time or point is executed, so that information for guidance to be presented is output.
Claims6
A navigation plan creating apparatus for creating a navigation plan obtained by combining information for guidance, comprising:
- an associating unit to associate one of a range and a point on map information with guidance information;
- a route setting unit to set a specified route on the map information based on a point to be included in the specified route;
- and
- a creating unit to automatically create a navigation plan by extracting the guidance information associated with the specified route, the navigation plan being represented by a navigation script composed of an instruction sequence based on a predetermined specification, in which at least one of time and point information, together with the guidance information for the specified route according to at least one of a presentation time and a presentation point, are described using a set of combinations of a name which identifies a type of information and contents thereof that relate the guidance information to the at least one of time and point information.
A navigation plan creating method for creating a navigation plan obtained by combining information for guidance with the use of a computer, comprising:
- associating one of a range and a point on map information with guidance information;
- setting a specified route on the map information based on a point to be included in the specified route;
- and
- creating a navigation plan by extracting the guidance information associated with the specified route, the navigation plan being represented by a navigation script composed of an instruction sequence based on a predetermined specification, in which at least one of time and point information, together with the guidance information for the specified route according to at least one of a presentation time and a presentation point, are described using a set of combinations of a name which identifies a type of information and contents thereof that relate the guidance information to the at least one of time and point information.
A computer-readable storage medium on which is recorded a program for implementing with a computer creation of a navigation plan obtained by combining information for guidance by executing a process comprising:
- associating one of a range and a point on map information with guidance information;
- setting a specified route on the map information based on a point to be included in the specified route;
- and
- creating a navigation plan, by extracting the guidance information associated with the specified route, the navigation plan being represented by a navigation script composed of an instruction sequence based on a predetermined specification, in which at least one of time and point information, together with the guidance information for the specified route according to at least one of a presentation time and a presentation point, are described using a set of combinations of a name which identifies a type of information and contents thereof that relate the guidance information to the at least one of time and point information.
