Information terminal device, method for controlling information terminal device, recording medium on which program for controlling information terminal device is recorded, and communication network
View Patent ↗An information terminal device that clearly displays routes and directions to be taken is provided. A method for controlling the information terminal device, a program for controlling the information terminal device, a recording medium on which the program for controlling the information terminal device is recorded, and a communication network are also provided. An information terminal device displays surrounding area information including a display of the destination and a symbol representing the street leading to the destination from an exit of the nearest station, and image information formed by adding an arrow representing the direction toward the destination to a photograph of the street leading to the destination from the exit of the nearest station.
1. An information terminal device which transmits and receives information to and from a server device via a network, comprising:
an input device which inputs destination information indicative of a destination by a user,
a transmitting device which transmits the inputted destination information to the server device,
a receiving device which receives, from the server device, image information indicative of a three-dimensional image viewed from a station exit of public transportation, and
a display device which displays the received image information,
wherein the receiving device receives the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image which includes a road directed to the destination among a plurality of roads connected to a station exit in a surrounding area of the destination designated by the destination information, and in which an arrow indicative of a direction to the destination is superimposed on the road, and
the display device displays the received image information indicative of the three-dimensional image in a case where a present position is at the station exit in the surrounding area of the destination, and
wherein the three-dimensional image is an image indicative of a direction away from the station exit along the road from one of a plurality of positions in proximity to the station exit which correspond to a plurality of the roads connected to the station exit, the image being associated with one of a plurality of the positions, and
the receiving device receives the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image associated with a position which a road directed to the destination includes, and wherein the three-dimensional image is an image which directs a user from the station exit to the destination.
2. An information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image is photograph information.
3. A method for controlling an information terminal device which transmits and receives information to and from a server device via a network, comprising:
inputting destination information indicative of a destination by a user,
transmitting the inputted destination information to the server device,
receiving, from the server device, image information indicative of a three-dimensional image viewed from a station exit of public transportation, and
displaying the received image information,
wherein the receiving the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image viewed from the station exit of public transportation comprises receiving the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image which includes a road directed to the destination among a plurality of roads connected to a station exit in a surrounding area of the destination designated by the destination information, and in which an arrow indicative of a direction to the destination is superimposed on the road, and
the displaying comprises displaying the received image information indicative of the three-dimensional image in a case where a present position is at the station exit in the surrounding area of the destination, and
wherein the three-dimensional image is an image indicative of a direction away from the station exit along the road from one of a plurality of positions in proximity to the station exit which correspond to a plurality of the roads connected to the station exit, the image being associated with one of a plurality of the positions, and
receiving the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image associated with a position which a road directed to the destination includes, and wherein the three-dimensional image is an image which directs a user from the station exit to the destination.
4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium where a program for controlling an information terminal device which transmits and receives information to and from a server device via a network is recorded,
the program causing a computer in the information terminal device to function as:
an input device which inputs destination information indicative of a destination by a user,
a transmitting device which transmits the inputted destination information to the server device,
a receiving device which receives, from the server device, image information indicative of a three-dimensional image viewed from a station exit of public transportation, and
a display device which displays the received image information,
wherein the receiving device receives the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image which includes a road directed to the destination among a plurality of roads connected to a station exit in a surrounding area of the destination designated by the destination information, and in which an arrow indicative of a direction to the destination is superimposed on the road, and
the display device displays the received image information indicative of the three-dimensional image in a case where a present position is at the station exit in the surrounding area of the destination, and
wherein the three-dimensional image is an image indicative of a direction away from the station exit along the road from one of a plurality of positions in proximity to the station exit which correspond to a plurality of the roads connected to the station exit, the image being associated with one of a plurality of the positions, and
the receiving device receives the image information indicative of the three-dimensional image associated with a position which a road directed to the destination includes, and wherein the three-dimensional image is an image which directs a user from the station exit to the destination.
