Abstract

An information management system enables the display position of a location mark on a map to be corrected with a simple operation. The information management system of the present invention includes: a geographical coordinate information acquisition unit acquiring geographical coordinate information corresponding to a designated address; and a display processing unit displaying a map corresponding to the address on a display unit and displaying a location mark on the map at a position corresponding to the geographical coordinate information. Further, the display processing unit has a function of changing the display position of the location mark on the map according to an operation by an operator, and a function of correcting the geographical coordinate information according to the changed display position of the location mark and outputting the corrected geographical coordinate information as the geographical coordinate information on the address corresponding to the location mark before being changed.

Claims

1. An information management system comprising:

a geographical coordinate information acquisition unit acquiring geographical coordinate information corresponding to a designated address; and

a display processing unit displaying a map corresponding to the address on a display unit and displaying a location mark on the map at a position corresponding to the geographical coordinate information, wherein

the display processing unit has

a function of changing the display position of the location mark on the map according to an operation by an operator, and

a function of correcting the geographical coordinate information according to the changed display position of the location mark and outputting the corrected geographical coordinate information as the geographical coordinate information on the address corresponding to the location mark before being changed.

2. The information management system according to claim 1, further comprising a management data generation unit generating predetermined management data containing the address, wherein

if the geographical coordinate information is corrected by the display processing unit, the management data generation unit attaches the corrected geographical coordinate information as the geographical coordinate information on the address registered in the management data, and

if the geographical coordinate information is not corrected by the display processing unit, the management data generation unit attaches the geographical coordinate information acquired by the geographical coordinate information acquisition unit as the geographical coordinate information on the address registered in the management data.

3. The information management system according to claim 2, comprising:

an input apparatus including the geographical coordinate information acquisition unit, the display processing unit, and the management data generation unit; and

a management data server storing and distributing the management data.

4. The information management system according to claim 3, comprising a mobile communication terminal receiving the management data from the management data server via a communication line and displaying the location mark on a map based on the geographical coordinate information attached to the management data.

5. An information management system comprising:

an input apparatus generating management data; and

a management data server receiving the management data from the input apparatus and storing the management data, wherein

the input apparatus comprises;

a geographical coordinate information acquisition unit acquiring geographical coordinate information corresponding to a designated address from an external general-purpose map coordinate information server;

a display processing unit having

a function of displaying a map corresponding to the address on a display unit and displaying a location mark on the map at a position corresponding to the geographical coordinate information,

a function of changing the display position of the location mark on the map according to an operation by an operator,

a function of correcting the geographical coordinate information according to the changed display position of the location mark, and

a function of, if the geographical coordinate information is corrected, attaching the corrected geographical coordinate information as the geographical coordinate information on the address registered in the management data, and if the geographical coordinate information is not corrected, attaching the geographical coordinate information acquired by the geographical coordinate information acquisition unit as the geographical coordinate information on the address registered in the management data, and outputting the geographical coordinate information as the geographical coordinate information on the address corresponding to the location mark before being changed;

a management data generation unit generating the management data containing the geographical coordinate information received from the display processing unit and the address; and

a communication unit receiving the management data from the management data generation unit and transmitting the management data to the management data server to be stored by the management data server, wherein

the management data server provides the stored management data as the management data server'"'"'s own management data for use in the management data server'"'"'s system to a mobile communication terminal by request.

6. The information management system according to claim 5, wherein the mobile communication terminal receives the management data from the management server via a communication line and displays the location mark on a map based on the geographical coordinate information attached to the management data.

7. A computer-readable storage medium for an information management program, the storage medium having stored thereon a computer program causing a computer to perform:

a geographical coordinate information acquisition process of acquiring geographical coordinate information corresponding to a designated address; and

a display process of displaying a map corresponding to the address on a display unit and displaying a location mark on the map at a position corresponding to the geographical coordinate information, wherein

the display process causes the computer to perform;

a changing process of changing the display position of the location mark on the map according to an operation by an operator; and

an output process of correcting the geographical coordinate information according to the changed display position of the location mark and outputting the corrected geographical coordinate information as the geographical coordinate information on the address corresponding to the location mark before being changed.
