Electronic chart information display device and electronic chart information display method

The present invention mainly relates to an electronic chart information display device capable of displaying an electronic chart and displaying maritime information not included in the electronic chart on the electronic chart.

In recent years, ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System, electronic chart information display system) displays various maritime information together with ENC (Electronic Navigation Chart, electronic chart for navigation), thereby route planning and navigation It has been proposed to provide more accurate support to the operator who performs the operation.

This type of maritime information includes, for example, AIO (Admiralty Information Overlay, Maritime Information Overlay) advocated by the UK Water Department (UKHO). This AIO is digital information maintained for the purpose of increasing the utility value of the ENC by superimposing it on the ENC with ECDIS or other chart display system. The AIO is provided as digital data recorded on a medium such as a CD-ROM or periodically via the Internet or the like, and is stored in ECDIS by a predetermined operation. The AIO contains the latest information that is not reflected in the ENC, or temporary, preliminary, and additional information. Specific examples include the setting / canceling of prohibited areas due to pier construction, Examples include military training, geological survey work, installation of lightposts and fishing reefs, laying of submarine transportation pipes and submarine power lines, changes in water depth, and status of submarine volcanic activity.

The information provided in the AIO includes text data indicating the contents, image data if necessary, and data indicating an area related to the information. In ECDIS in which AIO is installed, when the ENC is displayed by using the data, the corresponding area is graphically displayed on the ENC, so that the operator can easily understand the area to be noted. be able to.

By the way, as described above, the AIO provides incidental and various kinds of information. However, only the area is displayed on the electronic chart, and there is a problem that it is difficult to know whether the information should be noted by the operator.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an electronic chart information display device that allows an operator to efficiently access maritime information without being confused by the display of a large amount of maritime information. It is to provide.

Means and effects for solving the problems

The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, means for solving the problems and the effects thereof will be described.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an electronic chart information display device having the following configuration is provided. That is, the electronic chart information display device includes an electronic chart information storage unit, a maritime information storage unit, a maritime information change management unit, and a display unit. The electronic chart information storage unit stores electronic chart information. The nautical information storage unit stores nautical information associated with the electronic chart information. The maritime information change management unit manages at least one of an addition date and an update date of the maritime information. The display unit displays the electronic chart information and changes the display mode of the maritime information according to the current date and time or the date of addition or update of the maritime information.

As a result, since it is displayed on the display unit in a different manner depending on the current date and time or the date of addition or update of maritime information, it is easy for the operator of the display device to distinguish new maritime information from other maritime information. I can grasp. Therefore, the operator can efficiently and quickly grasp the maritime information reflecting the latest situation from the display on the display unit.

In the electronic chart information display device, it is preferable that the display unit displays only the nautical information that has been added or updated and that satisfies a predetermined condition.

Therefore, even when a large amount of maritime information is added or updated, what is displayed in a different manner is narrowed down in advance under predetermined conditions. Therefore, by appropriately determining the conditions, the operator can efficiently access without overlooking important addition / update of maritime information while preventing the display content of the display unit from being crowded with the display of a special mode. it can.

The electronic chart information display device preferably has the following configuration. That is, the electronic chart information display device includes a detection unit that detects designation of the maritime information by the operator. The predetermined condition includes that the maritime information is designated in advance by an operator and the maritime information is updated after the designation.

That is, the maritime information specified by the operator is likely to be important for the operator even after the update. In this regard, the configuration of the present invention allows the operator to easily understand the update of important nautical information even if there is a large amount of update of nautical information, so that the latest contents can be accessed efficiently. .

In the electronic chart information display device, the predetermined condition is that it is on or near the route set in the electronic chart information display device, is located in the vicinity of the ship, It is preferable to include at least one of being added or updated after the specified date and the fact that the maritime information has been completed in comparison with the current date and time.

This allows the operator to easily grasp the addition / update of maritime information, which is likely to be important, so that the latest contents can be accessed efficiently.

In the electronic chart information display device, it is preferable that the display unit is configured to display an update history of the nautical information.

This allows the operator to grasp the update status of maritime information in time series.

In the electronic chart information display device, it is preferable that the display unit is configured to be able to display at least one of an addition date and an update date of the nautical information.

This allows the operator to properly grasp when the maritime information has been added / updated.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the electronic nautical chart information is displayed and the maritime information including information not included in the electronic chart information is updated when the maritime information is updated. There is provided an electronic chart information display method in which the display mode is displayed differently from the case where the information is not displayed.

This makes it possible for the operator to grasp the new maritime information and the other maritime information in an easy-to-understand manner because the maritime information is displayed in a different manner when it is updated. Therefore, the operator can efficiently and quickly grasp the maritime information reflecting the latest situation.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an ECDIS 20 and marine equipment connected to the ECDIS 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the configuration of an operation unit 25, and FIG. 3 is a storage content in an AIO change management unit 24. It is a figure which shows the example of.

As shown in FIG. 1, an ECDIS (electronic chart information display device) 20 of this embodiment includes a control unit 21, a chart information storage unit (electronic chart information storage unit) 22, and an AIO storage unit (maritime information storage unit). 23, an AIO change management unit (maritime information change management unit, maritime information confirmation management unit) 24, an operation unit (detection unit) 25, and a display unit 26. In addition, the ECDIS 20 is connected to various sensors that can detect the target and the position information of the ship. The detection results of these sensors are input to the control unit 21. The control unit 21 can create a radar image and a chart around the ship based on the detection result of the sensor, and can display them on the display unit 26 having a rectangular screen.

Further, the operator can switch the display contents of the display unit 26 and change various settings by operating the operation unit 25. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation unit 25 includes an operation knob 52 and a trackball 53 in addition to various keys 51.

The key 51 can be pressed to input characters, select various items, and confirm selected items. The operation knob 52 can be rotated to move the cursor so that the cursor aligns with a predetermined item, and the operation knob 52 can be pressed to select the item. The trackball 53 can move the pointer in an arbitrary direction by rolling the ball by hand to adjust the pointer to a predetermined item, and press the button arranged around the ball to move the item. Can be selected (clicked).

The antenna unit 10, the GPS receiver 14, the anemometer 15 and the direction sensor 16 are mainly connected to the ECDIS 20 of the present embodiment.

The antenna unit 10 includes a radar antenna 11 and a transmission / reception unit 12. The radar antenna 11 can transmit a pulsed radio wave (transmission pulse signal) with high directivity and is configured to receive an echo signal (reflection wave) from a target.

The transmission / reception unit 12 is configured to sample the echo signal received by the radar antenna 11 and output the digitized echo signal to the control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20.

The control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20 is composed of hardware composed of a CPU, RAM, ROM, etc. (not shown) and software composed of various programs stored in the ROM. The control unit 21 can control the ECDIS 20 (for example, display control) by executing a program. The program is not limited to the configuration stored in the ROM included in the control unit 21 and may be stored in a CD-ROM, HDD, SSD, or the like.

The control unit 21 calculates the distance to the echo source (target such as a ship or land) based on the time until the radar antenna 11 receives the echo signal. Further, the direction in which the echo source is present can be determined by the direction of the radar antenna 11 (radio wave transmission / reception direction) when the echo is received. In this way, the control unit 21 can calculate the position of the echo source and display it on the display unit 26.

The GPS receiver 14 receives a positioning signal from the GPS antenna 13 and detects information on the position of the ship (specifically, the position of the GPS antenna 13). Information (position information) calculated by the GPS receiver 14 is output to the control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20.

The wind direction anemometer 15 can employ, for example, a configuration in which a vertical tail and a propeller are attached to a rotatable main body. With this configuration, the vertical tail receives the wind and rotates the main body so that the propeller faces the windward. Accordingly, the wind direction can be detected from the direction of the main body at this time, and the wind speed can be detected from the rotation speed of the propeller. The wind direction and the wind speed calculated by the wind direction anemometer 15 are transmitted to the control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20.

The azimuth sensor 16 includes a plurality of GPS antennas fixed to the ship, and can detect the heading from the relative positional relationship of the GPS antennas. The heading calculated by the direction sensor 16 is transmitted to the control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20. In addition to this configuration, for example, a magnetic direction sensor or a gyrocompass can be used as the direction sensor 16.

The control unit 21 can display the detection result of the sensor on the display unit 26 based on data input from the anemometer 15, the azimuth sensor 16, and other sensors not shown.

ECDIS 20 includes a chart information storage unit 22 that stores electronic charts for navigation (ENC). This ENC can be obtained from, for example, AVCS (Admiralty Vector Chart Service), which is a sales service operated by UKHO, and can be installed in ECDIS 20. The ENC is issued for each area of latitude and longitude having a certain size, and this issue unit is called a cell. In the ECDIS 20, ENCs of one or more cells are installed in advance and stored in the chart information storage unit 22. The control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20 calls the ENC of the cell containing the ship position from the stored contents of the chart information storage unit 22 based on the position information of the ship input from the GPS receiver 14, and charts around the ship Can be automatically displayed on the display unit 26.

Also, the ECDIS 20 of this embodiment has a route creation function. The control unit 21 creates a route (route) to reach the destination from the departure point based on information such as marks stored in advance, and displays the route on the display unit 26 together with the ENC and the own ship position. can do.

The ECDIS 20 includes an AIO storage unit 23 that stores the above-described AIO (maritime information). The AIO is issued from UKHO separately from the navigation electronic chart stored in the chart information storage unit 22 described above, and the frequency of issuing is about once a week, for example. The information provided in the AIO includes vector data indicating a region related to the information, and this region is expressed by, for example, a rectangle or a polygon. Since the vector data also indicates the position of the AIO in the ENC, it can be said that the AIO is substantially associated with the ENC via the vector data. When the control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20 displays a chart around the ship on the display unit 26 based on the ENC data, the control unit 21 displays the AIO area in a form of overlapping drawing (details will be described later). With this superimposition display, the operator using the ECDIS 20 can easily grasp the region of interest indicated by the issued AIO while confirming the chart around the ship with the ENC display.

The ECDIS 20 includes an AIO change management unit 24 that records whether or not the AIO has been updated and whether or not the operator has confirmed (designated) the AIO. The AIO change management unit 24 records, for each piece of information constituting the AIO, the latest update date of the information, whether or not the content of the information has been confirmed by the operator, and if confirmed, the date. be able to.

The AIO change management unit 24 includes a storage unit, and an example of the stored content is shown in FIG. In the table of FIG. 3A, “Object name” is a name given to uniquely identify a unit of information constituting the AIO (hereinafter also referred to as an AIO object). In the example, it is numbered. In “Last updated date”, when the AIO is updated one or more times, the latest update date is described. “Confirmed date” describes the most recent date when the operator performed the confirmation operation for displaying and confirming the contents of the AIO one or more times. Note that the operation in which the operator displays and confirms the content of a specific AIO includes the meaning that the operator designates a specific AIO in which the operator is interested in the ECDIS 20. Therefore, the above confirmation operation for a specific AIO can be rephrased as an operation for designating the AIO.

When the control unit 21 displays the AIO area superimposed on the ENC, the date when the AIO is confirmed by the operator and the update date of the AIO are stored from the stored contents of the AIO change management unit 24 (see FIG. 3). Get each. When the AIO is once confirmed by the operator and the AIO has been updated after the confirmation date, the control unit 21 displays the area indicating the AIO with a special update mark. To display. As a result, the operator can quickly grasp the update of the AIO that has a relatively high possibility of being important, and can access the latest contents.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10, a specific method for the operator to operate the ECDIS 20 to access the AIO and confirm the information will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state where AIO is displayed on the display unit 26 together with ENC. FIG. 5 to FIG. 9 show in sequence the operations performed to confirm the contents of the AIO for the AIO area 32 designated by the operator. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which “updated” is displayed for the updated AIO area.

FIG. 4 shows a display example of ECDIS 20, and in this example, ENC is displayed, and the ship position and the preset route are also displayed. In the example of FIG. 4, three

AIO areas

31, 32, and 33 are displayed on the ENC. As can be seen from the example of FIG. 4, the

AIO areas

31, 32, and 33 are drawn on the ENC as semi-transparent rectangles or polygonal areas. Even when they overlap, the visibility of the display is not easily lost.

In this state, it is assumed that the operator operates the trackball 53 to move the pointer 37 and moves the pointer 37 over one of the three AIO areas 32 and clicks. Then, a pop-up menu 35 appears as shown in FIG. 5, and an object information window 41 as shown in FIG. 6 appears when the operator places the pointer 37 on the menu and clicks.

In the object information window 41, various information such as the name given to the designated AIO object, the ENC cell to which the object belongs, the type of AIO information, and the like are displayed. In the object information window 41, an image explanation button 42, a text explanation button 43, and a history display button 44 are arranged.

In this state, when the operator puts the pointer 37 on the image explanation button 42 and clicks it, an image explanation window 45 appears as shown in FIG. 7, and the image data associated with the designated AIO object is displayed. When the operator places the pointer 37 on the text explanation button 43 and clicks it, a text explanation window 46 appears as shown in FIG. 8, and the text data associated with the designated AIO object is displayed. The contents of the image data and text data displayed here are generated based on the AIO stored in the AIO storage unit 23. By viewing the image explanation window 45 or the text explanation window 46, the operator can obtain detailed information such as the fact that there is a submarine communication cable in the designated AIO area 32, and can use it for navigation.

Further, when the operator places the pointer 37 on the history display button 44 and clicks, a history display window 47 appears as shown in FIG. 9, and the update history of the AIO is displayed in a table format. Thereby, the operator can grasp | ascertain the update condition of AIO in time series. However, at the time of FIG. 9, since the AIO has been newly recorded and the content has not been updated, only the “New” line is displayed, and the “Updated” line indicating the update is not displayed. Absent.

When the operator displays the image explanation window 45 or the text explanation window 46 as described above (when AIO confirmation operation is performed, when AIO is designated), the AIO change management unit 24 displays In the stored contents shown in FIG. 4, the date of today is recorded in the column “Confirmed date” for the row where “Object name” is 123-456. This state is shown in FIG.

Suppose that, for example, several days after the above confirmation operation, an AIO update operation is performed using a newly issued AIO. At this time, the control unit 21 of the ECDIS 20 replaces the content of the AIO storage unit 23 with the updated content, and the AIO change management unit 24 checks which AIO area the information has been updated. Here, it is assumed that information has been updated for AIO objects with names 123-456 and 123-457. Therefore, the AIO change management unit 24 records today's date in the column of “Last updated date” for the rows whose “Object name” is 123-456 and 123-457 in the stored contents shown in FIG. This state is shown in FIG.

After the update operation, when the operator operates ECDIS 20 to display ENC, the control unit 21 displays the

AIO areas

31, 32, and 33 on the ENC in the same manner as described above. At this time, however, the AIO change management is performed. The stored contents in the unit 24 are referred to. According to FIG. 3C, among the three AIO areas, the AIO area 32 (the object whose name is 123-456) has been confirmed (specified) by the operator before, and the AIO area It can be seen that the update date is later than the date of the confirmation operation by the operator.

Based on the above result, when the controller 21 of the ECDIS 20 draws the three

AIO areas

31, 32, and 33, only the AIO area 32 with the name 123-456 is updated. The display 32a “updated” and the date of the update are drawn, for example, with a balloon added (see FIG. 10). As a result, the AIO area 32 is displayed in a different manner from the

other AIO areas

31 and 33.

Although only three AIO areas are displayed in FIG. 10, since the AIO also includes temporary and preliminary information as described above, a large amount of information is displayed on the screen of the display unit 26 in the actual operation scene of the ECDIS 20. May be displayed. However, in this embodiment, the updated AIO area is displayed in a special form with an “updated” display, so the operator can quickly distinguish between fresh information and information that is not, The contents of AIO can be accessed efficiently.

In particular, in the ECDIS 20 of the present embodiment, the information is not simply updated, but the AIO area (AIO area designated by the operator) once confirmed by the operator in the image explanation window 45 or the text explanation window 46 is subsequently updated. The “updated” display 32a is displayed only for those updated at the timing. Here, as mentioned above, AIO attaches great importance to prompt reporting, and because it contains a variety of information including temporary and preliminary data, a large amount of data is updated at a time depending on the situation. May be. Therefore, in such a case, if “updated” is displayed for all of the updated AIO areas, the display contents are crowded, so that the operator is confused and it is difficult to obtain useful information. May end up. In this respect, in this embodiment, the AIO (designated AIO) once confirmed with interest by the operator is updated after the confirmation (after confirmation in the case of multiple confirmations). Considering that the latest contents that have been updated are likely to be important to the operator, “updated” is displayed only for the AIO area that satisfies such conditions. As a result, the display screen can be prevented from being filled with the “updated” display, and the operator can contribute to a quick and efficient understanding of the information.

As described above, the operator can confirm the contents of the AIO by operating the trackball 53 in the same manner as described above for the AIO area 32 to which the “updated” display 32a is attached. Needless to say, what is displayed in the image explanation window 45 and the text explanation window 46 at this time is the latest content after the update. Then, by this confirmation operation, the contents of “Confirmed date” regarding the AIO area 32 are rewritten to the new date (see FIG. 3D). As a result, the AIO area 32 does not satisfy the condition that it has been updated after confirmation (after the latest confirmation), so the control unit 21 performs control so as to erase the display of “updated” for the AIO area 32. As a result, if the content of the AIO is confirmed, the “updated” display disappears, so that the operator can grasp the information more efficiently.

As described above, the ECDIS 20 of the present embodiment includes the nautical chart information storage unit 22, the AIO storage unit 23, the control unit 21, and the display unit 26. The nautical chart information storage unit 22 stores ENC. The AIO storage unit 23 stores AIO information including information that is not recorded in the ENC. The AIO change management unit 24 manages the update date of AIO. The display unit 26 displays ENC and changes the display mode of the AIO information (AIO region 32) depending on whether the AIO information is updated or not.

Thus, since the AIO is displayed on the display unit 26 in a different manner depending on the update date of the AIO, it is possible for the operator of the ECDIS 20 to grasp the new AIO and the other AIO while distinguishing them easily. Therefore, the operator can quickly and quickly grasp the AIO reflecting the latest situation from the display on the display unit 26.

Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above configuration can be modified as follows, for example.

In the above-described embodiment, among the updated AIO information, only the information that satisfies the condition that the operator has confirmed the AIO information before the update in the past is displayed with “updated”. ing. However, instead of this, or in addition to that, it is related to the route (route) set for the ship (specifically, the AIO area is on or near the route, etc.) It is also possible to make it a condition that it is located on the date and date updated after a date designated by an operator by an appropriate operation. Even in this case, a special display is performed only by updating the AIO information that is considered to be important for the operator, which is preferable from the viewpoint of efficient information understanding by the operator. On the other hand, the updated AIO information may be unconditionally displayed with “updated”.

The display indicating that the AIO information has been updated may be changed to an arbitrary display such as an “modified” or “!” Mark icon instead of “updated”. In FIG. 10, the update date is displayed near “updated”, but the display of the update date may be omitted. Furthermore, instead of adding in a balloon shape as shown in FIG. 10, the display mode may be changed by changing the color or transparency when drawing the AIO area, or by blinking.

The update date and confirmation date may be added to the update date and confirmation date of the AIO information by adding time information.

The AIO change management unit 24 may manage an AIO addition date (a newly registered date) instead of or in addition to the AIO update date. And you may comprise so that display modes, such as an AIO area | region, may differ based on an addition date instead of an update date of AIO.

In the above-described embodiment, it is determined that the operator has confirmed the content of the AIO information (designated AIO) by browsing either the image description or the text description. However, instead of this, it may be configured to determine that the content of the AIO information has been confirmed on the condition that both the explanation by the image and the explanation by the text are browsed.

The operation unit 25 is not limited to the trackball 53, and other pointing devices such as a mouse can be used. Moreover, you may comprise so that AIO confirmation operation may be performed using operation means (for example, key 51) other than a pointing device.

The display method of the contents of AIO is not limited to the one shown above. For example, it is possible to change to display both image data and text data in a common window. The object information window 41 may be configured to display thumbnails of image data.

A “confirm later” button is displayed in the image explanation window 45 and the text explanation window 46, and when this button is clicked by the operator, the confirmation date is not written in “Confirmed date” in FIG. can do.

Some events recorded as AIO information have an end date (end date and time) determined in advance, and include, for example, a prohibited voyage area set for a predetermined period. In consideration of this, the display mode of the AIO area may be changed depending on whether or not the AIO information is terminated at the present time. The end date / time of the event related to the AIO information is the one stored in the AIO storage unit 23 as a part of the AIO information, and the current date / time output by a current date / time acquisition unit (clock etc.) (not shown). Can be determined whether or not the event related to the AIO information has ended. With this configuration, it is possible to perform control such as displaying a normal AIO area in red on the display unit 26 and displaying an AIO area corresponding to the event that has ended in gray.

Nautical information is not limited to AIO issued by UKHO. That is, any information that is separately issued and sequentially updated to increase the utility value of the electronic chart information and that includes temporary information that is not reflected in the electronic chart information may be recorded.

The present invention can be applied not only to ECDIS but also to other electronic chart display devices.
