  • Location search device
    Patent number: 10007697
    Abstract: A location search device is provided. The location search device includes a storage in which character string information indicative of a location is divided into three or more search hierarchical levels according to units of division of the search hierarchical levels. The location search device searches for a location by references the character string information in a predefined search sequence of search hierarchical levels to sequentially identify a division on each search hierarchical level based on a character string input from a user. When the location search device accepts a user input designating a search hierarchical level that is reached by moving backward the predefined search sequence of the search hierarchical levels, the location search device regresses to the designated search hierarchical level and re-identify a division.
