Information processing system providing a service using electronic map information
First Claim
1. An information processing system comprising:
- a terminal apparatus comprising a position detecting means that acquires position information; and
a server apparatus comprising;
an electronic map information database into which is stored electronic map data;
electronic map assignment means for referring to position information sent from the terminal apparatus, extracting from the electronic map information database electronic map data for a vicinity of a position at which the terminal apparatus exists, and sending the extracted electronic map data to the terminal apparatus;
a spot information database into which is stored information regarding an arbitrary location in the electronic map data sent from the terminal apparatus; and
information extracting means for extracting from information stored in the spot information database information satisfying a search condition sent from the terminal apparatus, and sending the extracted information to the terminal apparatus.

Abstract
A server apparatus has an electronic map information database into which is stored electronic map data, and a spot information database into which is stored information regarding an arbitrary location in electronic map data sent from a terminal, the terminal apparatus being configured so as to enable viewing of information stored in the spot information database via an electronic network. By this configuration, it is possible for a user to store information with regard to an arbitrary location on the electronic map into the spot information database and to later verify the information stored by the user, thereby enabling the server apparatus to provide a service that suits the individual user'"'"'s style.
