Patent number: 8302025Abstract: Weather information is acquired and stored from a satellite radio broadcast. On the basis of this weather information, weather information image data is created for displaying the weather information superimposed upon a map. When the weather information display map is scrolled, the range of the map data shifts. Together therewith, the range of the weather information image data also shifts. After a map has been drawn on the basis of the map data for the shifted range, icons or the like that describe the weather information are drawn as superimposed upon this map on the basis of the weather information image data for the shifted range. Then the image data stored in the image memory is read in, and the weather information display map that has been drawn is display upon the display monitor.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Inventor: Katsumi Iwano

Publication number: 20110018818Abstract: A circular contour is drawn by hand so as to surround icons 21a through 21f that are crowded together. As a result, a circle 32 is drawn upon a display monitor 16 at almost the same position and of almost the same size as the circle that was drawn by hand. The user presses a position on the circumference of this circle 32. As a result, among the icons 21a through 21f that are crowded together, only the icons 21b, 21d, and 21f that are shifting in the direction from the center of the circle 32 towards the position of pressing are displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2007Publication date: January 27, 2011Applicant: Clarion Co., Ltd.Inventor: Katsumi Iwano
