DISPLAY INFORMATION GENERATING APPARATUS, DISPLAY INFORMATION GENERATING METHOD, A PROGRAM FOR DISPLAY INFORMATION GENERATING, AND INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A display information generating apparatus that generates display information to be shown in a display means, the display means moving together with a movable body, the display information generating apparatus comprising:
- a position information acquiring means that acquires position information indicating a position of the movable body;
a distance information acquiring means that acquires distance information indicating distances between the position of the movable body and respective terrestrial objects, on the basis of the acquired position information, the terrestrial objects being positioned along a moving path on which the movable body will move; and
a generating means that generates the display information on the basis of the acquired position information and distance information, the display information being used for showing terrestrial object indices in the display means together with a path mark indicating the moving path, the terrestrial object indices indicating the terrestrial objects on both sides of the moving path, the terrestrial object indices being arranged in order in which they appear along with the movement of the movable body,wherein the generating means generates the display information being used for showing the path mark in the display means in such a way that it expresses the moving path extending the depth direction of the display means.

Abstract
Provided is a display information generation apparatus that displays information in a manner so that it becomes possible to immediately and intuitively recognize the information, which is for guiding a mobile body. A navigation apparatus provided with a display that moves together with a vehicle is provided with a display data generation unit that acquires position information indicating the position of the vehicle, acquires, on the basis of the acquired position information, distance information indicating the distance from the position of the vehicle of facilities positioned along the road along which the vehicle is moving, and, on the basis of the acquired position information and distance information, displays an icon indicating the facilities at both sides of the road at the display arranged in order of the order of appearance accompanying the motion of the vehicle.

14. A display information generating method performed by a display information generating apparatus, the display information generating apparatus generating display information to be shown in a display means, the display means moving together with a movable body, the display information generating method comprising:
-
a position information acquiring step of acquiring position information indicating a position of the movable body; a distance information acquiring step of acquiring distance information indicating distances between the position of the movable body and respective terrestrial objects, on the basis of the acquired position information, the terrestrial objects being positioned along a moving path on which the movable body will move; and a generating step of generating the display information on the basis of the acquired position information and distance information, the display information being used for showing terrestrial object indices in the display means together with a path mark indicating the moving path, the terrestrial object indices indicating the terrestrial objects on both sides of the moving path, the terrestrial object indices being arranged in order in which they appear along with the movement of the movable body, wherein in the generating step, the display information is generated for being used for showing the path mark in the display means in such a way that it expresses the moving path extending the depth direction of the display means.
