20120191334 | FUEL EFFICIENCY DISPLAY DEVICE, FUEL EFFICIENCY DISPLAY METHOD, AND FUEL EFFICIENCY DISPLAY PROGRAM - A fuel efficiency display device includes a past average fuel efficiency (AFE) calculating unit, a present AFE calculating unit, an AFE comparison unit, and a display unit. The past AFE calculating unit calculates AFE from a start time of use of the fuel efficiency display device to a finish time of a last driving operation as a past AFE. The present AFE calculating unit calculates an AFE at constant time intervals or at constant intervals of running distance as a present AFE since a start time of a present driving operation. The AFE comparison unit makes a comparison between the present AFE and the past AFE. The display unit displays a proportion of a number of times that the present AFE is more efficient than the past AFE to a total number of the comparisons between the present AFE and the past AFE. | 07-26-2012 |
20120173145 | NAVIGATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A determination unit determines whether or not the vehicle is running on a road known by a user. A mode setting unit sets an output mode to a known road running mode in a case where the determination unit determines that the vehicle is running on the known road, and sets the output mode to a normal mode in a case where the determination unit determines that the vehicle is not running on the known road. A function suppressing unit suppresses the interrupt function in the known road running mode. A valuable information presenting unit displays, in the known road running mode, some or all valuable information in a larger scale compared to the normal mode among plural piece of information displayed in the normal mode, and/or which displays other valuable information which is not displayed in the normal mode. | 07-05-2012 |
20100030462 | DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, DISPLAY CONTROL PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A display control apparatus includes a position acquiring unit that acquires position information concerning a current position of a mobile object; an extracting unit that extracts position information related to regions included on a road information sign; a calculating unit that, based on the position information concerning the current position of the mobile object and the position information related to the regions included on the road information sign, calculates distances to each of the regions from the current position of the mobile object; and a display control unit that sets, based on the distances calculated by the calculating unit, a display state for text indicating the regions included on the road information sign and displays, in the display state set and on a display screen, the road information sign having the text. | 02-04-2010 |
20080238914 | Map Information Creating Device, Map Information Creating Method, and Map Information Creating Program - A 3D road object is an object having road width, height, and length. The 3D road object corresponds to a link. A road surface texture is drawn repeatedly on the top surface of the 3D road object. With a map information creating device, geometry data in a cube shape containing a cross-section including the road width and the height can be extracted. Length of this geometry data can be set to the length of one sheet (one cycle) of the road surface texture in the length direction of the 3D road object. The road surface texture for one sheet as well as drawing cycle information can also be extracted. Moreover, link length information can be extracted from the link. | 10-02-2008 |
