ROUTE DISPLAY METHOD, ROUTE DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND DATABASE GENERATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A route display method for display on a terminal apparatus comprising:
- acquiring i) starting point information indicating a starting point and ii) destination information indicating a destination;
generating route information indicating a route from the starting point to the destination, wherein the route is searched based on the starting point information and the destination information, and the route information includes a plurality of passing points on the route;
extracting captured images corresponding to the plurality of the passing points from a database which stores the captured images in relation to corresponding image capturing locations respectively, wherein each of the image capturing locations is within a predetermined range from the each of the plurality of the passing points;
displaying a map image representing the route on an electric display based on the route information; and
displaying the extracted captured images with the map image sequentially in an order from a first captured image corresponding to a first passing point closest to the starting point to a second captured image corresponding to a second passing point closest to the destination.

22. A route display apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory memory storing thereon a program, which, when being executed by the processor, causes the processor to; acquire i) starting point information indicating a starting point and ii) destination information indicating a destination; generate route information indicating a route from the starting point to the destination, wherein the route is searched based on the starting point information and the destination information, and the route information includes a plurality of passing points on the route; extract captured images corresponding to the plurality of the passing points from a database which stores the captured images in relation to corresponding image capturing locations respectively, wherein each of the image capturing locations is within a predetermined range from the each of the plurality of the passing points; display a map image representing the route on an electric display based on the route information; and display the extracted captured images together with the map image sequentially in an order from a first captured image corresponding to a first passing point closest to the starting point to a second captured image corresponding to a second passing point closest to the destination.

23. A method of generating a database, comprising:
-
acquiring from a camera installed on a moving vehicle, a captured image that is captured, in a forward moving direction, by the camera; acquiring from the camera, an image capturing date/time corresponding to the captured image; acquiring from the camera, location information indicating an image capturing location corresponding to the captured image; calculating an image capture direction corresponding to the captured image, based on i) the location information corresponding to the captured image and ii) location information corresponding to one of two other captured images that are captured before and after the captured image; and storing the acquired captured image, the acquired image capturing date/time, the acquired location information, and the calculated image capture direction, in relation to each other, in the database.
