The mobile terminal 200 or the navigation terminal 100 may search for information on a geographical area corresponding to the identification code and set the geographical area as a destination.

The wireless communication unit 110 may receive information related to a designated destination from the mobile terminal 200. The information related to the designated destination may include at least one of an identification code, an index word, or geographical information of a destination designated by the user.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sensing unit 150 may sense any event related to the vehicle on which the navigation terminal is mounted. The arbitrary event may include at least one of opening / closing a door of the vehicle, starting the vehicle, boarding the driver of the vehicle, or switching on the navigation terminal.

As shown in FIG. 1, the controller 190 can search for a route to a designated destination using the information received from the mobile terminal 200.

When the controller 190 determines that the sensing unit 150 senses the certain event, the control unit 190 determines whether the wireless communication unit 110 detects the presence of a terminal at a position where the navigation unit 100 can communicate with the navigation terminal 100 .

There is a high possibility that the mobile terminal 200 associated with the navigation terminal 100 is in a communicable position when the door of the vehicle is opened and closed, the vehicle is started, or a driver of the vehicle is aboard. The power consumption can be reduced when the navigation terminal 100 attempts to communicate with the mobile terminal 200 only when an arbitrary event is detected.

The controller 190 determines whether the terminal detected to be in a position capable of communicating with the navigation terminal 100 by the wireless communication unit 110 is the navigation terminal 100 using the identifier received by the wireless communication unit 110, It is possible to determine whether the mobile terminal 200 is associated with the mobile terminal 200. The control unit 190 can determine whether the identifier received by the wireless communication unit 110 matches an identifier unique to the navigation terminal 100. [ If the received identifier matches an identifier unique to the navigation terminal 100, the controller 190 determines that the detected terminal is the mobile terminal 200 associated with the navigation terminal 100 .

If the detected terminal is the mobile terminal 200 connected to the navigation terminal 100, the controller 190 may transmit a signal for requesting information related to the designated destination to the detected terminal.
