  • Patent number: 8896550
    Abstract: A navigation system is provided. A medium insertion port is disposed on the front surface of a main unit and a portable recording medium is loaded into or unloaded from the main unit through the medium insertion port. A display unit is disposed on the front surface of the main unit and can move between a closed position where the medium insertion port is covered and an opened position where the medium insertion port is exposed. A limitation section limits the movement of the display unit to the opened position. A limitation removing section removes the limitation by the limitation section. An operation section receives an operation on the navigation system. The operation section can receive an operation other than an operation to be intrinsically received by the operation section. The limitation removing section removes the limitation by the limitation section when the operation section receives the operation other than the operation to be intrinsically received.

  • Patent number: 8819581
    Abstract: An information processing device capable of processing navigation information is provided. A touch panel can display images and can receive a user's touch operation. An image generation section generates a navigation image including a map image and a plurality of operation button images for receiving the touch operation, the images being displayed on the touch panel. A plurality of operation button images include a first operation button image related to a navigation function and a second operation button image related to a plurality of functions other than the navigation function. The image generation section generates a first image which is obtained by combining the navigation image and the first operation button image and a second image which includes the second operation button. The first image and the second image are respectively displayed in a first display region and a second display region. The first display region and the second display region are separated by a movable boundary.

  • Publication number: 20110164053
    Abstract: An information processing device capable of processing navigation information is provided. Image processing means generates a signal for displaying a basic screen including a predetermined display element, to which a predetermined function is assigned, on a display device and outputs the signal to the display device. Detection means detects a user's operation of the predetermined display element displayed on the display device. Image generation means generates a superimposed display image for providing the predetermined function assigned to the predetermined display element when the operation is detected by the detection means. When the superimposed display image is generated by the image generation means, the image processing means generates a signal for displaying a superimposed screen, in which the superimposed display image is superimposed on the basic screen, on the display device and outputs the signal to the display device.
