NAVIGATION SERVER, NAVIGATION DEVICE, AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A navigation server for supporting a guidance of a user by a navigation device based on communication with the navigation device, comprising:
- a first support arithmetic processing unit configured to search for a support route for guiding the user to a destination position based on communication with the navigation device, on a condition that a request including a position of the user and the destination position is recognized; and
a second support arithmetic processing unit configured to make the navigation device recognize a location point or a link included in the support route searched by the first support arithmetic processing unit based on communication with the navigation device,wherein the first support arithmetic processing unit is configured to search for a current support route having a location point which is on a previous support route and which is a designated distance or more distant from the position of the user included in a current request as a starting point, on a condition that the current request including the destination position that is the same as the previous support route is recognized.

Abstract
Provided is a navigation system and the like capable of improving the utility value of the navigation route in response to a current request in consideration of a user position. In the navigation system of the present invention, when a current request Req(i)(i>1) including a current destination position p2(i) that is the same as a previous destination position p2(i−1), is made from a navigation device 200, a current support route R(i) is searched which has a location point p1(i) that is on a previous support route R(i−1) and distant from the user position p0(i) by a designated distance or more included in the request Req(i), as a starting point.

5. A navigation system comprising a navigation device and a navigation server for supporting a guidance of a user by the navigation device based on communication with the navigation device,
the navigation server comprising: -
a first support arithmetic processing unit configured to search thr a support route for guiding the user to a destination position based on communication with the navigation device, on a condition that a request including a position of the user and the destination position is recognized; and a second support arithmetic processing unit configured to make the navigation device recognize a location point or a link included in the support route searched by the first support arithmetic processing unit based on communication with the navigation device, wherein the first support arithmetic processing unit is configured to search for a current support route having a location point which is on a previous support route and which is a designated distance or more distant from the position of the user included in a current request as a starting point, on a condition that the current request including the destination position that is the same as the previous support route is recognized, the navigation device comprising; a first arithmetic processing unit configured to recognize the position of the user and the destination position, and to make the navigation server recognize the request including the position of the user and the destination position; and a second arithmetic processing unit configured to recognize a location point or a link included in the support route searched by the navigation server according to the request, and to search and output a navigation route for guiding the user to the destination position based on the recognition result.
