20080288166 | Portable Navigation Terminal and Program - A portable navigation device where a map being displayed on a display section is fixed by performing map stop operation at a portable navigation terminal where an appropriate map is selected and displayed so as to correspond to the speed of movement. A portable navigation terminal ( | 11-20-2008 |
20090143081 | Information distribution system, information distribution server, mobile terminal, and information distribution method - There is provided an information distribution system capable of distributing a content to a mobile terminal in a predetermined area, distributing content guide information to the mobile terminal, and distributing the content selected by the mobile terminal, within the area. The information distribution system includes an information distribution server, a mobile terminal, and a content DB. The content DB contains content information to be provided to the mobile terminal and information on the area to which the content is provided. The information distribution server distributes the content guide information to the mobile terminal. According to this content guide information, the mobile terminal performs a content distribution request. The information distribution server judges the position of the mobile terminal according to position judgment means. When the mobile terminal is in the distribution area of the content requested, the content is downloaded. | 06-04-2009 |
20090204321 | Communication type information distribution system, information distribution server, and program - There are provided a communication type information distribution system, an information distribution server, and a program capable of assuring profitability considering the cost required for creating a content to be provided to a mobile terminal and protecting the copyright. The information distribution server ( | 08-13-2009 |
20100235082 | ROUTE SEARCH SYSTEM, ROUTE SEARCH SERVER, TERMINAL, AND ROUTE SEARCH METHOD - A route search system for simply searching for a guidance route for participating in one of the events of the same kind held within time zones at places. The route search system comprises route search network data for searching for a route on foot and by public transportation, route searching means, network data editing means, and event data including the event holding place and the event holding time. The network data editing means connects the event holding place as an event site node involving position information to the route search network data, registers the event as an event virtual node not involving any position information, and connects the event site node to the event virtual node through links according to the different event holding times. The route searching means searches for a guidance route from the departure place to the relevant event virtual node as the destination when search for a route from a desired place as a departure place to the place of a specific event among the events is requested. | 09-16-2010 |
20110022527 | ROUTE SEARCHING APPARATUS AND ROUTE SEARCHING METHOD - In the present invention, at least a single route is created that satisfies route search conditions received from an information processing terminal, an amount of emissions caused by following the created route is calculated on a route-by-route basis, an emission credit purchase amount required for compensating the calculated amount of emissions is calculated, a route search result including the route, the amount of emissions, and the emission credit purchase amount is sent to the information processing terminal, emission amount compensation is performed by subtracting, from the quantity of emission credits stored in a storage unit, the amount of emissions equivalent to the emission credit purchase amount specified in an emission credit purchase order received from the information processing terminal, and a compensation result at least including the compensated amount of emissions and the corresponding emission credit purchase amount to the information processing terminal is sent for display. | 01-27-2011 |
20110099100 | ROUTE SEARCHING APPARATUS AND ROUTE SEARCHING METHOD - According to the present invention, at least one route that satisfies a route search condition received from an information processing terminal and information distributor identification information for identifying an information distributor is created, greenhouse gas emissions emitted when the route is used are calculated for each of the routes, a route search result including the route and the emissions are transmitted to the information processing terminal, a route selection request is received from the information processing terminal, the emissions are offset by subtracting emissions corresponding to the selected route from an amount of emission credits stored in a storage unit, corresponding to the information distributor identified by the information distributor identification information, and an offset result is transmitted to the information processing terminal. | 04-28-2011 |
20110137768 | TRAVEL EXPENSE ADJUSTING APPARATUS AND TRAVEL EXPENSE ADJUSTING METHOD - According to the present invention, a route covered by travel expenses and satisfying a route search condition input by a member of a group who wishes an adjustment of travel expenses is created, and greenhouse gas emissions emitted at a time of using the created route are calculated. The greenhouse gas emissions are offset by subtracting the calculated greenhouse gas emissions from an amount of emission credits stored in a storage unit, and it is determined whether the greenhouse gas emissions have been offset. When it is determined that the greenhouse gas emissions have not been offset, a display unit is caused to display a travel-expense-application rejection notification indicating that an application for an adjustment of travel expenses applied by the member is rejected. | 06-09-2011 |
20110144906 | NAVIGATION APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS, NAVIGATION METHOD, AND NAVIGATION PROGRAM - A navigation device performs a route guidance based on a route from a current location to a destination, the navigation device being connected to a server for searching the route. A navigation method for the navigation device includes sending a request for searching the route to the server and receiving information on the route from the server. The method also includes measuring an elapsed time from a start of the route guidance, and performing the route guidance based on the information received. The method further includes cutting off a communication with the server and coming into a standby state, upon a determination that the elapsed time measured has reached a predetermined time and when the route is being guided or a current location is being checked, to decrease a bandwidth usage between the navigation device and the server and to reduce a communication charge associated with the bandwidth usage. | 06-16-2011 |
