Abstract: A storage section (160) stores a traffic jam prediction table containing a plurality of date classification IDs for classifying data for predetermined dates and time series data obtained by statistically processing past traffic conditions correlated to the date classification IDs in terms of temporal elements of the dates. A memory (170) stores calendar templates, each containing a plurality of pieces of date information and classification ID numbers, each of which is an ID number that corresponds to the date indicated by one of the pieces of date information and is same as one of the date classification IDs of the traffic jam prediction table. A navigation device (100) has a calendar modifier that appropriately modifies any of the classification ID numbers of the calendar templates.

Abstract: The present invention provides a navigation apparatus, a computer program and a screen control method that can reduce the amount of power to be consumed by screen display operations while information is properly displayed on the screen for a user. When the information to be provided to the user is displayed on the screen of a display device, a system control device determines whether the situation allows the driver to look at the screen of the display device, on the basis of vehicle moving conditions such as the vehicle speed, the traveling direction, and the angle of a turn of the steering wheel detected by a GPS receiving device and various sensors, or map data. If the system control device determines that the situation does not allow the driver to look at the screen, a display control device reduces the luminance of the screen of the display device.

Abstract: A display apparatus employs a display of a non-emitting type such as a liquid crystal display for the display unit, the system control unit of a mobile terminal converts the color of the object having the largest display area among the objects constituting the image of map image data displayed on the screen of the display unit, to white, and causes the display unit to display the converted map image data.

Abstract: The present invention provides a remote control apparatus comprising a controlled appliance and a server being connected via communication means, in which if data stored in the server is present, a notice command is promptly issued to the corresponding controlled appliance, and the controlled appliance having received the notice command automatically transmits a data acquisition request and receives the data stored in the server, whereby complicated operation by the user is not necessary and the capacity of the storage device of the server can be suppressed significantly.

Abstract: A number of traveling routes are determined by computations, using a route processor and map information on the basis of current position information and destination information. The rating of the current traffic jam or the predicted traffic jam on each of the traveling routes is recognized based on a traffic jam prediction table and a calendar table obtained by statistically processing VICS data and past traffic conditions in terms of temporal elements. The number of traveling routes to which candidate traveling routes are narrowed is increased as the traffic jam rating is raised. Thus, the number of candidate traveling routes from which a user can select the actual traveling route is increased as the traffic jam rating rises in order to accommodate a situation where secondary traffic jams can take place on any candidate traveling route, thereby providing the user with useful traveling route information and appropriate guidance.

Abstract: In a remote control system to control remotely a controlled device through a network from a terminal at a remote place, the controlled device stores a channel table associating broadcast station numbers recognized by a remote control device and allocated to each broadcast station with channel numbers recognized by the controlled device and allocated to each broadcast station. This allows channel numbers to be designated remotely according to an area, even though a relation between broadcast station numbers and channel numbers is different depending on an area. The remote controller can read the channel table of the controlled device and correct the channel table according to user's operation on the terminal.

Abstract: A remote control system in which an instruction from a remote terminal is transmitted to a controlled device through a remote control device. Device unique data which is information specific to the controlled device is stored in the remote control device or the controlled device. The remote control device generates WEB display data to be displayed on the remote terminal based on a device type of the controlled device and the device unique data. Alternatively, the remote control device generates WEB display data based on the device unique data stored in the controlled device. Thus, even when a new type of controlled device is developed, or even when the function for the controlled device is extended, it does not need to modify programs for achieving functions of the remote control device. Accordingly, it facilitates a change of an operational screen of the terminal in response to those changes.
