Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium stores therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process including: executing a process of acquiring a position of a terminal; determining whether there is object data registered in a position in an area corresponding to the acquired position by referring to a storage that stores positions in which multiple sets of object data are registered in association with the sets of object data, respectively; and displaying object data on a display when there is the object data registered in a position in the area, and curbing any one of frequency of executing the process of acquiring the position of the terminal and accuracy of the acquiring when there is no object data registered in a position in the area.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
executing a process of acquiring a position of a terminal;
fixing an area on the basis of the acquired position of the terminal and determining whether there is object data registered in a position in the fixed area corresponding to the acquired position by referring to a storage that stores positions in which multiple sets of the object data are registered in association with the sets of object data, respectively; and
displaying object data on a display when there is the object data registered in a position in the area, and requesting to curb any one of frequency of executing the process of acquiring the position of the terminal and accuracy of the acquiring when there is no object data registered in a position in the area.

2. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the curbing includes requesting to cancel curbing any one of the frequency of the executing and the accuracy of the acquiring when there is object data registered in a position in the area.

3. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises:
accepting specifying a distance from the position of the terminal; and
fixing the area on the basis of the specified distance.

4. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein
the acquiring the position of the terminal includes acquiring the positon of the terminal by performing positioning using signals of a global navigation satellite system, and
the curbing includes curbing frequency of executing computing based on the signals when there is no object data registered in a positon in the area.

5. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein
the acquiring the position of the terminal includes acquiring the position of the terminal by performing positioning using signals of a global navigation satellite system, and
the curbing includes curbing accuracy of positioning based on the signals when there is no object data registered in a positon in the area.

6. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein
the acquiring the position of the terminal includes acquiring the position of the terminal by performing positioning using a plurality of positioning units; and
the curbing includes, when there is no object data registered in a position in the area, curbing any one of frequency of executing the process of acquiring the position of the terminal and accuracy of the acquiring by reducing the number of the positioning units used for the positioning.

7. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein the positioning units are at least two of a global navigation satellite system, a positioning unit using mobile phone base stations, and a positioning unit using wireless LAN access points.

8. A display control method comprising:
executing a process of acquiring a position of a terminal, using a processor;
fixing an area on the basis of the acquired position of the terminal and determining whether there is object data registered in a position in the fixed area corresponding to the acquired position by referring to a storage that stores positions in which multiple sets of the object data are registered in association with the sets of object data, respectively, using the processor; and
displaying object data on a display when there is the object data registered in a position in the area, and requesting to curb any one of frequency of executing the process of acquiring the position of the terminal and accuracy of the acquiring when there is no object data registered in a position in the area, using the processor.

9. The display control method according to claim 8 , wherein the curbing includes not requesting to cancel curbing any one of the frequency of the executing and the accuracy of the acquiring when there is object data registered in a position in the area.

10. The display control method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
accepting specifying a distance from the position of the terminal, using the processor; and
fixing the area on the basis of the specified distance, using the processor.

11. The display control method according to claim 8 , wherein
the acquiring the position of the terminal includes acquiring the positon of the terminal by performing positioning using signals of a global navigation satellite system, and
the curbing includes curbing frequency of executing computing based on the signals when there is no object data registered in a positon in the area.

12. The display control method according to claim 8 , wherein
the acquiring the position of the terminal includes acquiring the position of the terminal by performing positioning using signals of a global navigation satellite system, and
the curbing includes curbing accuracy of positioning based on the signals when there is no object data registered in a positon in the area.

13. The display control method according to claim 8 , wherein
the acquiring the position of the terminal includes acquiring the position of the terminal by performing positioning using a plurality of positioning units; and
the curbing includes, when there is no object data registered in a position in the area, curbing any one of frequency of executing the process of acquiring the position of the terminal and accuracy of the acquiring by reducing the number of the positioning units used for the positioning.

14. A display control device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process comprising:
acquiring a position of a terminal;
fixing an area on the basis of the acquired position of the terminal and determining whether there is object data registered in a position in the fixed area corresponding to the acquired position by referring to a storage that stores positions in which multiple sets of the object data are registered in association with the sets of object data, respectively; and
displaying object data on a display when there is the object data registered in a position in the area, and requesting to curb any one of frequency of executing the process of acquiring the position of the terminal and accuracy of the acquiring when there is no object data registered in a position in the area.

15. The display control device according to claim 14 , wherein the curbing includes requesting to cancel curbing any one of the frequency of the executing and the accuracy of the acquiring when there is object data registered in a position in the area.

16. The display control device according to claim 14 , wherein the processor executes the process comprising:
accepting specifying a distance from the position of the terminal; and
fixing the area on the basis of the specified distance.

17. The display control device according to claim 14 , wherein
the acquiring includes, acquiring the position of the terminal by performing positioning using signals of a global navigation satellite system, and
the curbing includes, curbing frequency of executing computing based on the signals when there is no object data registered in a positon in the area.

18. The display control device according to claim 14 , wherein
the acquiring includes, acquiring the position of the terminal by performing positioning using signals of a global navigat
