Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a scheme for distributing spatial information between information providers and information users. To achieve this object, the present invention creates a corresponding index for each spatial information. The index includes information related to a position included in spatial information, and data related to a storage location of the spatial information. This index also includes (1) a source ID for uniquely identifying spatial information; (2) coordinate translation values which are parameters used to correspond certain spatial information to other spatial information; and (3) when the spatial information including this index was created by referencing other spatial information, an underlay diagram specifying ID represented by the source ID possessed by the referenced spatial information, or the like.

Abstract: A link information management method which is capable of reducing the number of steps of a link maintenance processing of link information indicating a corresponding relationship between geographical information in a geographical information system and attribute information. To realize the method, geographical information are compared and judged by translating first geographical information based on corresponding points judged as the same points inputted on first and second geographical information by an operator. Further, update days of link information and attribute information are compared and judged, and current link information which causes the second geographical information and the attribute information to be correlated with each other is generated based on the compared and judged results of the link information and the attribute information. Then, attribute information and a closed area on the second geographical information are displayed by using the current link information thus generated.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a map application system that employs an automatic stroll method of strolling through a virtual space into the route and distribution information change according to the interests of a user and the time of day (ie. daytime vs. nighttime, etc.). In the present invention, an article contributed to a contribution server from a contribution terminal is stored temporarily in a contribution DB. Each article is converted to information related to a spatial position by a spatial information structure process and is stored in a spatial information DB. The contribution server returns an article with the relation to the position of the neighborhood according to the input of a region name on a stroll terminal. The stroll terminal starts a stroll on the basis of a region name inputted as an initial value, and automatically sets a route on the basis of the interest information of a user. Information about the route is provided from contribution server and is appropriately displayed.

Abstract: Representative item information concerning an item name represented on a form, parts control information for controlling a part or input/output area forming a display screen for inputting data to a database, and data attribute information including field name and data type referred to in defining a table in the database, are created for each item name beforehand. In accordance with an input from a user for image information of the form inputted beforehand, there is generated link information which includes positional information for distinguishing a position on the image information and sub referential information for distinguishing a field of the database. On the parts control information, a part is displayed on the image information displayed on a display device. A table of the database is defined on the basis of the data attribute information.

Abstract: A robot operation control system for point-to-point movement is disclosed in which each motor is provided with a microcomputer and a predetermined acceleration/deceleration control is effected for each microcomputer, so that specified given points may be passed smoothly in a given sequence.

Abstract: In a control apparatus controlling point-to-point movement of arms of a robot, stepping motors are used to drive the shafts of the robot arms respectively, and motor drivers drive the stepping motors according to a 1-2-phase excitation mode in a low speed range but according to a 2-phase excitation mode in an intermediate and a high speed range.
