Abstract: To provide a method and device for displaying map data and related data permitting easy enlargement of the scope of application of map-based data services.

Abstract: The invention provides a composite video apparatus which can display an image from a plurality of image sources with a simple construction and prevents blurring in color of a display image from a particular image source. A memory for storing video data from a certain type of recording medium so as to be outputted for later display is used to perform display outputting of video data reproduced from another type of recording medium or video data extracted from a broadcasting signal. Where the video data to be stored into the memory are formed from brightness signal data and color signal data, a CPU performs, for the video data from a particular video source, conversion of the video data such that the resolution of the brightness signal data may be equal to the resolution of the color signal data and then writes video data obtained by the conversion processing into the memory.

Abstract: A method and device for displaying map data and related data and thereby permitting easy enlargement of the scope of the application of map-based data services, wherein additional drawing data for superposing on a map displayed on a screen, and setting data for specifying a map display, are sent and received between different application programs using inter-application exchange in a standard data format. Required map data and related data are displayed on the screen using a first application program having a function for converting received additional drawing data and setting data to the aforesaid data format and transmitting it by inter-application exchange, then using a second application program which displays a map on the display screen according to the setting data transmitted by the first application program and displays additional data on the screen map corresponding to the additional drawing data.

Abstract: A map database server retaining map data grouped by block is connected to an internet and a provider for providing a connection service with the internet is connected between the internet and a public telephone network. A portable telephone base station connects a portable telephone to the public telephone network by a radio wave as the transmission medium. A car navigation system is connected to the portable telephone and communicates with the map database server through the public telephone network, the internet, and the like to receive map data and the like. The car navigation system allows to be automatically updated only map data and date-time data of the blocks, which are included in specific blocks and with respect to which the dates and times according to the date-time data in the map database server are more recent dates and times than the dates and times according to the date-time data in the flash memory incorporated therein.

Abstract: A map information server is disposed on the Internet, and when a position on a page is input, the map information server searches latitude information and longitude information corresponding to the position, encodes the latitude information and longitude information to a character string corresponding to a predetermined rule, and displays the resultant character string. When an encoded character string of latitude information and longitude information is input, the map information server searches the position corresponding to the latitude information and longitude information and displays the position on a map. In addition, when latitude information and longitude information are input, the map information server encodes the latitude information and longitude information to a code of a character string corresponding to a predetermined rule.
