Mapping system that displays nearby regions based on direction of travel, speed, and orientation

摘要

An information providing system includes a terminal and a server. The information providing system includes: an information database configured to record registration data in relation to position data; a position data acquiring section configured to acquire a position data of the terminal; a state acquiring section configured to acquire a state data indicative of a state of the terminal; and a region determining section configured to determine a specified retrieval region of the registration data based on the state data. An information extracting section is configured to extract the registration data in the specified retrieval region from the information database as browser data, and a display section is configured to display the browser data.

1. An information providing system comprising a terminal and a server,
wherein said terminal comprises:
a position data acquiring section configured to acquire a position data of said terminal from a GPS (global positioning system) satellite; anda display section configured to display browser data, the display section comprising an LCD (liquid crystal display), and wherein said server comprises:
an information database configured to record registration data in relation to said position data;a control section configured of a CPU (central processing unit), the control section comprising:
a state data acquiring section configured to acquire state data indicating a state on a movement of said terminal;a region determining section configured to determine a specified retrieval region which is changed in response to said state data;an information extracting section configured to extract as said browser data from said information database, said registration data in which said position data corresponding to said registration data are included in said specified retrieval region,wherein said terminal further comprises an orientation data acquiring section configured to measure an orientation of said terminal, wherein said state data further comprises said terminal orientation, wherein said region determining section enlarges said specified retrieval region in said terminal orientation only when a terminal movement direction and said terminal orientation do not coincide,
wherein the terminal orientation comprises information indicating an orientation of a body of the terminal itself, andwherein the terminal movement direction comprises a direction to which the terminal is moving.
