Abstract

A program recording device includes a route searching unit that searches for a route to a destination based on map information, a keyword creating unit that creates a keyword from information concerning the destination or information concerning the route, a determining unit that determines a program to be recorded based on the keyword, and a recording unit that records the program that is determined by the determining unit.

Claims

1-9. -9. (canceled)

10. A program recording device comprising:

a route searching unit that searches for a route to a destination based on map information;

a keyword creating unit that creates a keyword from any one of destination information concerning the destination and route information concerning the route;

a determining unit that determines a program to be recorded based on the keyword; and

a recording unit that records the program.

11. The program recording device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a time-information acquiring unit that acquires time information concerning at least one of a date and a time of a route search, and a date and a time of travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the keyword creating unit creates the keyword based on the time information.

12. The program recording device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a weather-information acquiring unit that acquires weather information concerning weather at a time of any one of a route search and travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the keyword creating unit creates the keyword based on the weather information.

13. The program recording device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a time-information acquiring unit that acquires time information concerning at least one of a date and a time of a route search, and a date and a time of travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the determining unit determines the program further based on the time information.

14. The program recording device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a weather-information acquiring unit that acquires weather information concerning weather at a time of any one of a route search and travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the determining unit determines the program further based on the weather information.

15. The program recording device according to claim 10, further comprising:

a detecting unit that detects a remaining power level of a battery in a mobile unit, wherein

the recording unit records the program based on the remaining power level.

16. A program recording method comprising:

searching for a route to a destination based on map information;

creating a keyword from any one of destination information concerning the destination and route information concerning the route;

determining a program to be recorded based on the keyword; and

recording the program.

17. The program recording method according to claim 16, further comprising:

acquiring time information concerning at least one of a date and a time of a route search, and a date and a time of travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the creating includes creating the keyword further based on the time information.

18. The program recording method according to claim 16, further comprising:

acquiring weather information concerning weather at a time of any one of a route search and travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the creating includes creating the keyword further based on the weather information.

19. The program recording method according to claim 16, further comprising:

acquiring time information concerning at least one of a date and a time of a route search, and a date and a time of travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the determining includes determining the program further based on the time information.

20. The program recording method according to claim 16, further comprising:

acquiring weather information concerning weather at a time of any one of a route search and travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the determining includes determining the program further based on the weather information.

21. The program recording method according to claim 16, further comprising:

detecting a remaining power level of a battery in a mobile unit, wherein

the recording includes recording the program based on the remaining power level.

22. A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a program that causes a computer to execute:

searching for a route to a destination based on map information;

creating a keyword from any one of destination information concerning the destination and route information concerning the route;

determining a program to be recorded based on the keyword; and

recording the program.

23. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 22, wherein the computer program further causes the computer to execute:

acquiring time information concerning at least one of a date and a time of a route search, and a date and a time of travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the creating includes creating the keyword further based on the time information.

24. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 22, wherein the computer program further causes the computer to execute:

acquiring weather information concerning weather at a time of any one of a route search and travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the creating includes creating the keyword further based on the weather information.

25. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 22, wherein the computer program further causes the computer to execute:

acquiring time information concerning at least one of a date and a time of a route search, and a date and a time of travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the determining includes determining the program further based on the time information.

26. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 22, wherein the computer program further causes the computer to execute:

acquiring weather information concerning weather at a time of any one of a route search and travel on the route by a mobile unit, wherein

the determining includes determining the program further based on the weather information.

27. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 22, wherein the computer program further causes the computer to execute:

detecting a remaining power level of a battery in a mobile unit, wherein

the recording includes recording the program based on the remaining power level.
