Title:
目的地入力装置及び目的地入力用プログラム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5013266
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A destination input device performs an ordinary search and a fuzzy search. The fuzzy search uses a fuzzy dictionary containing related terms that relate to destination data items, plus generic names that are associated with the related terms and that name and are associated with the destination data items. The fuzzy search extracts the related term that perfectly matches characters that are input, selects the generic names based on the related term and selects destination candidates based on the generic names. By extracting the related term, the fuzzy search reduces the volume of search results. The number of results displayed by the fuzzy search is reduced by displaying the selected generic names along with the destination candidates selected by the ordinary search. A search switch button is provided for switching between a results display that lists the generic names first and a results display that lists the destination candidates first.
