Description

This invention relates to a terminal and an information processing method. Conventionally, a user's terminal obtains geographic information from a geographic information server and displays it on a map. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that accepts a selection from a user of a terminal to at least one of several geographic information servers, accesses the selected server to obtain the geographic information, converts the obtained geographic information into drawing data with coordinates in the same coordinate system as the map, and displays it on the terminal's map. This system allows the user to display geographic information in various data formats on the same map. Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-240124 This is a diagram showing the overview of the terminal.This diagram shows the functional configuration of the terminal.This figure shows an example of information used for acquiring geographic information.This figure shows an example of accepting selection of geographic information names.This figure shows an example where drawing data is superimposed on a map.This flowchart shows an example of the process flow for associating the address of a geographic information server with a conversion program.This flowchart shows an example of the process flow for displaying geographic information on a map using a conversion program. [Overview of Terminal 1] Figure 1 shows an overview of terminal 1. Terminal 1 is a computer such as a personal computer or tablet that displays geographic information on a map. Terminal 1 is connected to multiple geographic information servers 2 that provide geographic information via a communication network such as the Internet. Terminal 1 stores one or more conversion programs for acquiring geographic information from the geographic information server 2. These conversion programs, for example, access the geographic information server 2 to acquire geographic information and convert the acquired geographic information into drawing data containing coordinate information corresponding to the coordinate system of the map displayed on the display unit of Terminal 1. In this embodiment, the conversion program is assumed to have no associated address with the geographic information server 2 in its initial state. Furthermore, terminal 1 has a storage area called a container that stores the conversion program, and also stores the address on terminal 1 where the conversion program is stored as an acquisition address, which is the address for acquiring geographic information provided by the geographic information server 2. In this embodiment, terminal 1 receives the address of geographic information server 2 from the user of terminal 1 (Figure 1 (1)) and associates the received address with the conversion program (Figure 1 (2)) in order to enable the use of a conversion program that is not associated with the address of geographic information server 2. Subsequently, terminal 1 accepts the selection of an acquisition address (Figure 1, (3)). Terminal 1 executes the conversion program indicated by the accepted acquisition address. The conversion program acquires geographic information from the geographic information server 2 based on the address of the geographic information server 2 associated with it (Figure 1, (4)), converts the acquired geographic information into rendering data, and outputs it. Terminal 1 acquires the drawing data output from the conversion program (Figure 1, (5)). Then, Terminal 1 overlays the acquired drawing data onto the map displayed on its own display unit (Figure 1, (6)). In this way, the user can associate the address of the geographic information server 2 from which they wish to obtain geographic information with the conversion program, and then retrieve the geographic information from the geographic information server 2 and display it on the map. [Functional Configuration of Terminal 1] Next, the details of the configuration of terminal 1 will be explained. Figure 2 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of terminal 1. Terminal 1 has a communication unit 11, an operation unit 12, a display unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a control unit 15. The communication unit 11 is a communication interface for sending and receiving data with external devices such as the geographic information server 2 via a communication network such as the internet or a mobile phone line. The operation unit 12 is an operating device such as a mouse or keyboard that accepts user input. The display unit 13 is a display that shows various types of information. For example, the display unit 13 displays map information under the control of the control unit 15. Furthermore, the display unit 13, under the control of the control unit 15, displays drawing data converted from geographic information by a conversion program, superimposed on the map information. The memory unit 14 is a storage medium for storing various types of data, and includes ROM (Read Only Memo
