Abstract

A determiner determines execution of rerouting. A notifier notifies the execution of rerouting if the determiner determines the execution of rerouting. A searcher executes a rerouting search if the determiner determines the execution of rerouting. A measurer measures the distance by which a navigation device has moved along a guide route, which is a result of the rerouting search by the searcher. In a case in which the determiner determines execution of next rerouting, the notifier notifies the execution of rerouting if the measured distance is longer than a threshold value and does not notify the execution of rerouting if the measured distance is smaller than or equal to the threshold value.

Claims (17)

1. A navigation device that includes a memory storing a program that, in response to execution, causes a processor to perform operations comprising:

a determiner that determines execution of rerouting;

a notifier that notifies the execution of the rerouting when the determiner determines the execution of the rerouting;

a searcher that executes a rerouting search when the determiner determines the execution of the rerouting; and

a measurer that measures a distance of movement of the navigation device along a guide route that is a result of the rerouting search by the searcher, wherein in a case in which the determiner determines execution of next rerouting, the notifier notifies the execution of the next rerouting when the distance measured by the measurer is longer than a threshold value and does not notify the execution of the next rerouting when the distance measured by the measurer is smaller than or equal to the threshold value.

2. The navigation device according to claim 1 , wherein, even in a case in which the execution of the next rerouting is not determined by the determiner, when the navigation device deviates from the guide route that is the result of the rerouting search by the searcher, the measurer stops measuring the distance.

3. A navigation device that includes a memory storing a program that, in response to execution, causes a processor to perform operations comprising:

a determiner that determines execution of rerouting;

a notifier that notifies the execution of the rerouting when the determiner determines the execution of the rerouting;

a searcher that executes a rerouting search when the determiner determines the execution of the rerouting; and

a measurer that measures time of movement of the navigation device along a guide route that is a result of the rerouting search by the searcher, wherein in a case in which the determiner determines execution of next rerouting, the notifier notifies the execution of the next rerouting when the time measured by the measurer is longer than a threshold value and does not notify the execution of the next rerouting when the time measured by the measurer is smaller than or equal to the threshold value.

4. The navigation device according to claim 3 , wherein, even in a case in which the execution of the next rerouting is not determined by the determiner, when the navigation device deviates from the guide route that is the result of the rerouting search by the searcher, the measurer stops measuring the time.

5. A notification method of a navigation device that includes a memory storing a program that, in response to execution, causes a processor to perform operations comprising:

determining execution of rerouting;

notifying the execution of the rerouting when the execution of the rerouting is determined;

executing a rerouting search when the execution of the rerouting is determined; measuring a distance of movement of the navigation device along a guide route that is a result of the rerouting search; and

in a case in which execution of next rerouting is determined, notifying the execution of the next rerouting when the measured distance is longer than a threshold value and not notifying the execution of the next rerouting when the measured distance is smaller than or equal to the threshold value.
