Information acquisition device, positional information storage method and storage medium
View Patent ↗An information acquisition device includes: a positioning unit that measures a current position and acquires positional information thereof; an information acquisition unit that acquires information; a storage unit that stores information acquired by the information acquisition unit and positional information acquired by the positioning unit; and a control unit that causes the positioning unit to perform positioning, while the information acquisition unit is activated, at an interval shorter than while the information acquisition unit is stopped, and causes positional information acquired while the information acquisition unit is activated, outside a time period determined in advance with a time in which acquisition of information was performed by the information acquisition unit as a reference point, among positional information acquired in the positioning unit, to be thinned and stored in the storage unit.
1. An information acquisition device comprising:
a positioning unit that measures a current position and acquires positional information thereof;
an information acquisition unit that acquires information;
a storage unit that stores the information acquired by the information acquisition unit and the positional information acquired by the positioning unit; and
a control unit that causes the positioning unit to sequentially perform positioning at a predetermined time interval, while the information acquisition unit is activated, controls the positional information acquired to be periodically thinned automatically and causes only remaining positional information to be stored in the storage unit in another time period to be periodically thinned automatically, and causes only the remaining positional information to be stored in the storage unit in the another time period other than a predetermined time period with a base point of time when acquisition of information by the information acquisition unit is performed while the information acquisition unit is activated, and causes a sequence of the positional information acquired to be stored in the storage unit without thinning in the predetermined time period.
2. An information acquisition method comprising:
a positioning step of measuring a current position and acquiring positional information thereof;
an information acquisition step of acquiring information;
a storage step of storing the information acquired in the information acquisition step and the positional information acquired in the positioning step; and
a control step of causing the positioning step to sequentially perform positioning at a predetermined time interval, while the information acquisition step is activated, causing the positional information acquired to be periodically thinned automatically and causing only remaining positional information to be stored in the storage step in another time period to be periodically thinned automatically, and causing only the remaining positional information to be stored in the storage step in the another time period other than a predetermined time period with a base point of time when acquisition of information in the information acquisition step is performed while the information acquisition step is activated, and causing a sequence of the positional information acquired to be stored in the storage step without thinning in the predetermined time period.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that is executable to control a computer to perform functions comprising:
a positioning function of measuring a current position and acquiring positional information thereof;
an information acquisition function of acquiring information;
a storage function of storing the information acquired in the information acquisition function and the positional information acquired in the positioning function; and
a control function of causing the positioning function to sequentially perform positioning at a predetermined time interval, while the information acquisition function is activated, causing the positional information acquired to be periodically thinned automatically and causing only remaining positional information to be stored in the storage function in another time period to be periodically thinned automatically, and causing only the remaining positional information to be stored in the storage function in the another time period other than a predetermined time period with a base point of time when acquisition of information in the information acquisition function is performed while the information acquisition function is activated, and causing a sequence of the positional information acquired to be stored in the storage function without thinning in the predetermined time period.
