Description

Navigation system and navigation method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to navigation systems, and more particularly, to a navigation system and a navigation method.
Background
The navigation system is an application system for guiding a vehicle from one place to another place based on a map, for example, the navigation system may take a current position where a user is located as a current position and a position to be traveled as a target position, and after identifying the current position and the target position, the navigation system may plan and recommend at least one route between the current position and the target position to guide the user from the current position to the target position.
Typically, the navigation system is installed in one or more electronic devices, for example, a user typically installs one or more navigation systems in a mobile phone for use as needed, and further, the user typically installs a plurality of systems or programs (e.g., apps) with different functions in the mobile phone, for example, the user installs one or more group buying systems in the mobile phone for making purchases in a group buying manner, which can help the user make group buying meals, movie tickets, etc. Now, the navigation system and the group purchase system installed in the same electronic device are independent of each other, and there is no connection to each other except for sharing a hardware device, which causes great inconvenience to the user when shopping and navigating using the group purchase system. For example, after a user purchases a movie ticket through the group buying system, the user needs to quit the group buying system, then opens the navigation system, and then inputs the address of the movie theater to which the movie ticket belongs into the search box of the navigation system in a manual input mode, so that the navigation system can give a suggested route according to the current position and the identified target position, and a large amount of time is wasted due to the use method. Especially, when the address of the movie theater where the movie tickets purchased through the group purchase system belong to is long, the user may need to frequently switch between the group purchase system and the navigation system for many times to be able to completely input the address in the search box of the navigation system, and once this occurs, more time is wasted for the user. That is, users want to be able to spend more time in terms of service experience than in terms of information acquisition.
In addition, current navigation systems employ point-to-point techniques in planning routes. That is, the navigation program can plan and recommend at least one route for the user to use or select between the current location and the target location, and although the present navigation system allows the user to add or set a third location between the current location and the target location, the added or set third location can only be used as one of the route points planned and recommended by the navigation system, that is, the present navigation system can only plan the added or set third location into the route from the current location to the target location, and cannot predict the time it takes to go from the current location to the third location and from the third location to the target location, and does not allow the user to plan to stay at the third location for a certain period of time, so that the user can guide the route recommended by the navigation system to go from the current location to the third location to the target location, it is not easy for the user to know when each hop should be assigned, and if the user cannot specify when each hop should be assigned, the user's time when reaching the target location is likely to be delayed and bothersome.

Detailed Description
The following description is provided to disclose the invention so as to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the invention. The preferred embodiments in the following description are given by way of example only, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention, as defined in the following description, may be applied to other embodiments, variations, modifications, equivalents, and other technical solutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1A of the drawings accompanying this specification, a navigation system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the navigation system is capable of being mounted to one or more electronic devices for use by a user.
It is noted that the electronic device may be, but is not limited to, a mobile electronic device 100 or a vehicle-mounted electronic device 200, for example, the mobile electronic device 100 may include, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant, a camera, and any other electronic device that can be used to install the navigation system.
It is also worth mentioning that the navigation system may be installed in one of the electronic devices, or may be installed in a plurality of the electronic devices. For example, in one example of the navigation system of the present invention, a part of the navigation system is mounted to the mobile electronic device 100, and another part of the navigation system is mounted to the in-vehicle electronic device 200, wherein the part of the navigation system mounted to the mobile electronic device 100 and the part of the navigation system mounted to the in-vehicle electronic device 200 are connectable to each other to be used by a user.
Specifically, the navigation system includes a positioning module 10, a user interface 20, and an advice module 30, wherein the positioning module 10, the user interface 20, and the advice module 30 are communicatively connected to each other, wherein the positioning module 10 is capable of determining a current location of a user, the user interface 20 is capable of determining a target location, and the advice module 30 is capable of giving one or more travel advice for confirmation by the user or for selection and confirmation by the user according to the current location and the target location.
That is, the suggestion module 30 can give the travel suggestions according to different preference conditions, for example, the suggestion module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions for confirmation by the user or for selection and confirmation by the user with the time saving as a preference condition, or the suggestion module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions for confirmation by the user or for selection and confirmation by the user with the shortest distance as a preference condition.
The location module 10 may determine the current location of the user, i.e. the location module 10 is able to determine the geographical location where the user is currently located. For example, in an example of the navigation System of the present invention, the Positioning module 10 may be a GPS (Global Positioning System) module or the Positioning module 10 may include the GPS module, so that the Positioning module 10 can determine the current position by analyzing a radio signal received by the GPS module. As an alternative example, the location module 10 may analyze network data (e.g., cellular data) of the electronic device application used to install the navigation system to determine the current location.
The user interface 20 may determine the target location. In a preferred embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, the user interface 20 allows the user to determine the target position by actively inputting a target geographic position of the target position. Further, the user interface 20 comprises a search entry 21, wherein the search entry 21, when activated, allows a user to actively input a target geographical location of the target location to determine the target location. It is worth mentioning that the user can input the target geographical information of the target location into the search entry 21 of the user interface 20 by means of a manual input or a voice input or a selection input, etc. It is also worth mentioning that when the graphical interface of the navigation system is displayed in the display area of the electronic device in the form of a user interface, the search entry 21 of the user interface 20 is typically displayed in the form of a dialog box on the user interface, for example, the search entry 21 may be displayed on the upper or lower portion of the user interface or any position, and the user may activate the search entry 21 by clicking, touching, specific gesture or voice. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the search entry 21 of the user interface 20 may be hidden, and the user may cause the activated search entry 21 to be displayed on the user interface by clicking, touching, specific gesture or voice.
In another preferred embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, the user interface 20 is capable of automatically obtaining target information associated with the target location from a third party system or program 300 to determine the target location, for example, the user interface 20 is capable of automatically obtaining the target geographic information associated with the target location from the third party system or program 300 to determine the target location. Preferably, in an exemplary illustration, the third party system or program 300 is generally a group purchase system or program, such as the third party system or program 100 is a group purchase system or program for catering group purchases or movie ticket group purchases, etc.; in another exemplary illustration, the third party system or process 300 may also be a service providing system or process, i.e., a service provider may sell services on the third party system or process 300, e.g., a car washer may sell car wash services on the third party system or process 300.
Further, the user interface 20 includes a third-party system portal 22, wherein the third-party system portal 22 can be connected to the third-party system or program 300 to enable the user interface 20 to automatically obtain the target information associated with the target location from the third-party system or program 300 to determine the target location. For example, when a user purchases a service via the third-party system or program 300, the third-party system or program 300 may provide the target information associated with the service, and when the third-party system portal 22 is connected to the third-party system or program 300, the user interface 22 may automatically search for and receive the target information in the third-party system or program 300 for subsequent determination of the target location based on the target information.
In one example of the navigation system of the present invention, when the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfies a predetermined condition, the third party system portal 22 is connected to the third party system or program 300, and at this time, the user interface 20 can automatically search for the target information associated with the purchased service in the third party system or program for subsequently determining the target location based on the target information. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the user may simplify the operation of the user by not manually inputting the target information of the target location in the search portal 21 of the user interface 20 when using the navigation system of the present invention, but automatically searching and receiving the target information associated with the purchased service in the third party system or program 300 by the user interface 20 after the third party system portal 22 is connected to the third party system or program for subsequent determination of the target location based on the target information. Especially, when the geographic location information of the target location is long, the user does not need to frequently switch the navigation system and the third party system or program 300, so as to simplify the user's operation and save the time for the user to obtain the travel advice. That is, the navigation system of the present invention provides a way for determining the target location, which is beneficial for the user to obtain the travel advice in a shorter time.
It is worth mentioning that the preset condition includes at least one of the following conditions: the navigation system and the third-party system or program 300 are installed in the same electronic device, the same local area network or cellular network is applied to the navigation system and the third-party system or program 300, and the same protocol is satisfied by the navigation system and the third-party system or program 300. However, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the preset conditions listed above are only examples, and in other examples of the navigation system of the present invention, the navigation system may be installed in a plurality of the electronic devices, and the third party system or program 300 may be installed in a plurality of the electronic devices, wherein when at least one of the electronic devices for installing the navigation system and at least one of the electronic devices for installing the third party system or program 300 are the same electronic device, the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 may be considered to satisfy the preset conditions, or when at least one of the electronic devices for installing the navigation system and at least one of the electronic devices for installing the third party system or program are the same electronic device When the electronic devices are matched with each other, it may be considered that the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfy the preset condition.
It is also worth mentioning that on the premise that the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfy the preset condition, the third party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 can be automatically connected to the third party system or program 300 while the navigation system is opened, so that the user interface 20 can automatically search and receive the target information associated with the purchased service in the third party system or program 300. In another example, the third party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 can be automatically connected to the third party system or program 300 after the navigation system is turned on, requiring the user to select to turn on the automatic search function of the navigation system, so that the user interface 20 can automatically search for and receive the target information associated with the purchased service in the third party system or program 300.
It is worth mentioning that the navigation system is turned on, which means that the user activates the navigation system, for example, the user activates the navigation system on the electronic device by clicking, touching, voice controlling, etc. In another case, the electronic device can automatically turn on the navigation system once the electronic device is powered on. Accordingly, the navigation system is turned on and the automatic search function is selected to be turned on, that is, the graphical interface of the navigation system is displayed in the display area of the electronic device, and the user turns on the automatic search function of the navigation system by clicking, touching, voice control and the like.
After the positioning module 10 determines the current position and the user interface 20 determines the target position, the suggestion module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions according to the preferred conditions according to the current position and the target position. Preferably, when the suggestion module 30 gives only one travel suggestion, the navigation system may automatically determine the travel suggestion without the user's active selection, and when the suggestion module 30 gives a plurality of travel suggestions, the navigation system may receive the user's selection to determine the final travel suggestion. More preferably, the user may select an appropriate travel suggestion from the travel suggestions provided by the suggestion module 30 by clicking, touching, a specific gesture, or voice.
Further, the navigation system comprises a detection module 40, wherein the detection module 40 is capable of detecting whether the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfies the predetermined condition. If the detection module 40 detects that the relationship between the navigation system and the third-party system or program 300 satisfies the preset condition, the third-party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 can be automatically connected to the third-party system or program 300, so that the user interface 20 can automatically search and receive the target information associated with the purchased service in the third-party system or program 300.
According to another aspect of the navigation system of the present invention, after the current position and the target position are determined, the detecting module 40 can further detect whether a third position is added or set between the current position and the target position, and if the detecting module 40 detects that the third position is added or set between the current position and the target position, the suggesting module 30 can give one or more of the travel suggestions according to the current position and the target position and the detection result of the detecting module 40. That is, the suggestion module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions for confirmation or selection and confirmation by the user according to the current location, the third location and the target location.
In other words, the navigation system of the present invention allows the third position to be added or set between the current position and the target position after the current position and the target position are determined. It is worth mentioning that the number of the third positions added or set between the current position and the target position is not limited, for example, the number of the third positions added or set between the current position and the target position may be one or more than one.
Further, the navigation system includes a prediction module 50, wherein the prediction module 50 is capable of predicting the time it takes to travel from any location to other locations. It is worth mentioning that the prediction module 50 can predict the time spent from any location to other locations according to the distance from any location to other locations and the road conditions. For example, the prediction module 50 may predict the time it takes to travel from the current location to the target location, or the prediction module 50 may predict the time it takes to travel from the current location to the third location and/or from the third location to the target location. Preferably, the prediction module 50 is capable of predicting the time it takes to get from any location to a neighboring location.
Subsequently, when the user goes out according to the travel suggestion given by the suggestion module 30, the detection module 40 can detect the time actually spent by the user from any position to other positions, if the time actually spent by the detection module 40 from any position to other positions is equal to or less than the time required to be spent from any position to other positions predicted by the prediction module 50, the navigation system can keep providing the travel suggestion, and if the time actually spent by the detection module 40 from any position to other positions is greater than the time required to be spent from any position to other positions predicted by the prediction module 50, the suggestion module 30 can dynamically adjust the travel suggestion according to the detection result of the detection module 40. Preferably, the suggestion module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions again according to the detection result of the detection module 40 for confirmation or selection and confirmation by the user.
For example, the prediction module 50 may predict that it takes 10 minutes from the current position to the first third position, and in the process that the user takes 15 minutes from the current position to the first third position according to the travel advice, the detection module 40 may detect that the user actually takes 15 minutes from the current position to the first third position, and the detection module 40 of the navigation system may consider that the time actually taken from the current position to the first third position exceeds the time taken from the current position to the first third position, so that the advice module 30 may give one or more travel advice again for confirmation or selection and confirmation by the user according to the detection result of the detection module 40. In addition, when the user adds or sets the third position between the current position and the target position and plans to stay at the third position for a certain period of time, the prediction module 50 can determine the time the user is allowed to stay at the third position and prompt the user according to the time taken from the current position to the target position, the time taken from the current position to the third position, and the time taken from the third position to the target position.
For example, the target information associated with the target location received by the user interface 20 may further include a time information, i.e. a time required by the user to reach the target location, so as to serve as a basis for the travel advice given by the advice module 30.
Further, the navigation system includes a sharing module 60, wherein the sharing module 60 enables information sharing between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200.
In a preferred embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, only the mobile electronic device 100 is installed with the navigation system, wherein the travel advice given by the navigation system installed in the mobile electronic device 100 is displayed in the display area of the mobile electronic device, for example, the travel advice may be displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100, and subsequently, the sharing module 60 can share the travel advice given by the navigation system installed in the mobile electronic device 100 to the in-vehicle electronic device 200, that is, the travel advice given by the flexible electronic device installed in the mobile electronic device 100 can be displayed in the display area of the in-vehicle electronic device 100. Preferably, the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 may be mounted with the navigation system.
In another preferred embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, only the in-vehicle electronic device 200 is installed with the navigation system, wherein a user can purchase a service through a third party system or program 300 installed in the mobile electronic device 100, when the detection module 40 detects that the relationship between the navigation system installed in the in-vehicle electronic device 200 and the third party system or program 300 installed in the mobile electronic device satisfies the preset condition, the third party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 can be automatically connected to the third party system or program 300 to automatically search the third party system or program 300 for the target information associated with the target position through the user interface 20 to determine the target position.
In still another preferred embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, different modules of the navigation system can be installed in different electronic devices, for example, in one example, the user interface 20 of the navigation system is installed in the mobile electronic device 100, and the positioning module 10 and the suggestion module 30 are respectively installed in the in-vehicle electronic device 200.
Further, the detecting module 40 can detect whether the relationship between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 satisfies a sharing condition, and if the detecting module 40 detects that the relationship between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 satisfies the sharing condition, the sharing module 60 can realize the sharing of information between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200. The sharing condition may be a distance between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200, for example, when the distance between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 is smaller than a preset threshold, the detection module 40 considers that the relationship between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 satisfies the sharing condition, for example, the preset threshold may be 2 meters, that is, when the detection module 40 detects that the mobile electronic device 100 is moved to a range less than 2 meters away from the in-vehicle electronic device 200, the detection module 40 considers that the relationship between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 satisfies the sharing condition, and at this time, the sharing module 60 can realize sharing of information between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-listed examples using the distance between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 as the sharing condition are merely exemplary descriptions to illustrate the features of the navigation system of the present invention, and therefore, do not constitute a limitation to the content and scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1B of the drawings accompanying the present specification, in another embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, the navigation system further comprises a service providing module 70, wherein the user interface 20 and the service providing module 70 are communicatively connected to each other, when a user accepts a service provided by the service providing module 70, the user interface 20 can receive target information associated with the service from the service providing module 70, and the user interface 20 can determine the target location based on the target information.
In one embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, the user may receive the service provided by the service providing module 70, and in another embodiment of the navigation system of the present invention, the user may purchase the service through the service providing module 70. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that whether a user accepts a service provided by the service providing module 70 or a user purchases a service through the service providing module 70, the user interface 20 can receive the target information associated with the service from the service providing module 70, and the user interface 20 can determine the target location based on the target information.
In addition, the detection module 40 can detect whether the user purchases a service at the service providing module 70, or the detection module 40 can detect whether the user accepts the service provided by the service providing module 70. Once the detection module 40 detects that a user purchased a service at the service purchase module 70, or the detection module 40 detects that a user accepted a service provided by the service provision module 70, the user interface 20 can receive the objective information associated with the service from the service provision module 70.
For example, when the user turns on the navigation system, the detection module 40 may start detecting whether the user purchases a service at the service providing module 70 or whether the user accepts the service provided by the service providing module 70.
Fig. 2A to 2D referring to the drawings are user interfaces displayed in a display area of the electronic device when the navigation system according to the present invention is applied, for explaining features and advantages of the navigation system of the present invention. It should be noted that a smart phone is used as an example of the electronic device for installing the navigation system in fig. 2A to 2D of the drawings, and it is understood by those skilled in the art that the smart phone is used as the example of the electronic device only for convenience of description of the features and advantages of the navigation system, and is not intended to limit the content and scope of the navigation system of the present invention.
In addition, the way of embodying the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 in the form of App (Application program) in the electronic device is also for explaining the features and advantages of the navigation system of the present invention, so the specific examples of the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 referred to in fig. 2A to 2D do not constitute limitations on the content and scope of the present invention. More specifically, the third party system or program 300 is further embodied as a group purchase program, such as where the third party system or program 300 embodied as the group purchase program is used to sell movie tickets.
It should be noted that in the following description, the application of the navigation system of the present invention is further illustrated and described by taking the case that the user purchases the service through the third party system or program 300 as an example, and it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the user may also purchase the service through the service providing module 70 of the navigation system or receive the service provided by the service providing module 70 of the navigation system, and therefore, the following description should not be construed as limiting the content and scope of the navigation system of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2A, the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 are installed in the same mobile electronic device 100, the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 can be run on the mobile electronic device 100, and the user interface 101a of the navigation system and the user interface 101b of the third party system or program 300 can be displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device, so as to realize the interaction between the navigation system and the user and the interaction between the third party system or program 300 and the user.
In one example, the user interface 101a of the navigation system and the user interface 101b of the third party system or program 300 are not displayed at the same time on a display screen of the mobile electronic device 100. Although the navigation system and the third party system or program can be run on the mobile electronic device 100 at the same time, in this particular example, the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100 can be selectively displayed only one of the user interface 101a of the navigation system and the user interface 101b of the third party system or program 300. That is, when the user interface 101a of the navigation system is displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100, the third party system or program 300 may be running in the background of the mobile electronic device 100, or the third party system or program 300 may not be running.
In another example, the user interface 101a of the navigation system and the user interface 101b of the third party system or program 300 may be displayed simultaneously on different areas of the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100, i.e. the mobile electronic device 100 may provide a split screen display functionality.
The user opens the navigation system or the third-party system or program 300 by clicking, touching, a specific gesture or voice, etc., so that the user interface 101a of the navigation system or the user interface 101b of the third-party system or program 300 can be displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100.
It should be noted that, the opening of the navigation system or the third party system or program 300 by means of clicking, touching, specific gesture or voice or the like as described in the present invention refers to the operation of the navigation system or the third party system or program 300 by means of clicking, touching, specific gesture or voice or the like by the mobile electronic device 100. For example, the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100 is usually a capacitive display screen, that is, the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100 can not only display contents, but also respond to the operation of the user. When the mobile electronic device 100 is opened, the navigation icon 102a of the navigation system and the group purchase icon 102b of the third party system or program 300 can be displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100, and the user can click the navigation icon 102a by clicking to enable the mobile electronic device 100 to run the navigation system and the user interface 101a of the navigation system to be displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100, or click the group purchase icon 102b by clicking to enable the mobile electronic device 100 to run the third party system or program 300 and the user interface 101b of the third party system or program 300 to be displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100.
Referring to fig. 2B, the third party system or program 300 is run on the mobile electronic device 100 and the user interface 101B of the third party system or program 300 is displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100. After the user purchases the service through the third-party system or program 300, the third-party system or program 300 provides the target information of the provider of the service purchased by the user, for example, the target information may include the geographic location information and/or the time information of the service provider. For example, after the user purchases a movie ticket through the third party system or program 300, the third party system or program 300 can provide the geographical location information of a movie theater to which the purchased movie ticket belongs and the time information of the playing time of the purchased movie ticket. More specifically, the user may purchase a movie ticket with a "18: 00" playing time provided by the merchant "Ningbo" through the third party system or program 300, at which time the third party system or program can provide the geographical location information of the merchant "Ningbo" and the time information of the movie ticket. For example, in fig. 2B, the destination information such as the name of the movie tickets purchased by the user and the name, address, time, etc. of the movie theater in which the movie tickets belong can be displayed on the user interface 101B of the third party system or program 300. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the third party system or program 300 may not directly display the object information such as the address of the movie theater to which the purchased movie tickets belong, but may provide only object information data of the object information such as the address of the movie theater to which the purchased movie tickets belong.
Referring to fig. 2C, the navigation system is operated at the mobile electronic device 100 and the user interface 101a of the navigation system is displayed on the display screen of the mobile electronic device 100. Once the navigation system is operated, the detection module 40 may detect whether the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfies the preset condition, and if the detection module 40 detects that the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfies the preset condition, the third party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 of the navigation system may be automatically connected to the third party system or program 300, so that the user interface 20 may automatically search for and receive the target information, such as movie tickets, purchased by the user in the third party system or program 300.
In one particular example, when the navigation system is turned on, the navigation system may query the user to determine whether the user needs to automatically search for information such as movie tickets purchased by the user on a third party system or program 300. For example, in FIG. 2C, the navigation system may provide a prompt "whether the purchased service needs to be automatically searched for in the third party system or program 300" 103a, and provide a "Yes" button 103b and a "No" button 103C, the third party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 of the navigation system automatically connects to the third party system or program 300 upon the user selecting the "Yes" button 103b, and the navigation system does not automatically search for in the third party system or program 300 upon the availability of the employee selecting the "No" button 103C. It is worth mentioning that when the user interface 20 automatically searches the third party system or program 300 for the geographical location information, the user interface 20 can determine the target location according to the geographical location information. Additionally, the user interface 20 can also automatically search for the time information in the third party system or program 300.
The navigation system allows the user to add or set the third location between the current location and the target location. The detecting module 40 can detect whether the user adds or sets the third position between the current position and the target position, and if the detecting module 40 detects that the user adds or sets the third position between the current position and the target position, the suggesting module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions for confirmation or selection and confirmation by the user according to the current position, the target position and the detection result of the detecting module 40. For example, in fig. 2D, the navigation system allows the user to add or set the third position between the current position and the target position by clicking or inputting, etc., and the third position is suggested to be taken by the travel suggestion module 30 from the current position to the target position.
In addition, the navigation system allows the user to set the time of stay at the third location, that is, the navigation system gives the travel advice not only according to the geographical location of the third location but also according to the time required to stay at the third location when giving the travel advice. For example, the user may plan to stay at the third location for 30 minutes, and once the user inputs to the navigation system a plan that requires 30 minutes to stay at the third location, the advice module may give the travel advice according to the time determined by the ui 20 to reach the target location and the time that the user needs to stay at the third location. Subsequently, the detection module 40 can detect whether the actual staying time at the third location of the user exceeds the planned staying time at the third location, if the detection module 40 detects that the actual staying time at the third location of the user does not exceed the planned staying time at the third location, the travel advice given by the navigation system is not changed, and if the detection module 40 detects that the actual staying time at the third location of the user exceeds the planned staying time at the third location, the advice module 30 can give back one or more travel advice for confirmation or selection and confirmation by the user.
The prediction module 50 can predict the time it takes to go from any location to other locations, for example, in one example, the prediction module 50 can predict the time it takes to go from the current location to the third location. When the user is traveling according to the travel advice, the detection module 40 may detect the time actually spent by the user from any location to other locations, for example, in an example, the detection module 40 may detect whether the time actually spent by the user from the current location to the third location exceeds the time predicted by the prediction module 50 to be spent by the user from the current location to the third location, and if the detection module 40 detects that the time actually spent by the user from the current location to the third location exceeds the time predicted by the prediction module 40 to be spent by the user from the current location to the third location, the advice module 30 may give one or more travel advice again for confirmation or selection and confirmation by the user.
For example, a user purchases a movie ticket offered by the merchant "Ningbo all" via the third party system or process 300 at "13: 00" at a location addressed to "scholar number one", when the user turns on the navigation system to run it on the mobile electronic device 100, the navigation system can direct the user to click the "yes" button 103b to cause the third party system portal 22 of the user interface 20 of the navigation system to automatically connect to the third party system or program 300, at which point, the location module 10 can use the address "Ningbo city \37150where" schofu-one number "is located and the state area pre-lake south road number 666" as the current location, the user interface 22 can automatically search the third party system or program 300 for the target location at the address "Ningbo city Hai Shi Hui street number 2" where the merchant "Ningbo shadow" is located. In addition, the user interface 22 can also search for a user's desire to search for a new user profile at "18: 00 "before reaching the target position. The detection module 40 detects whether the third position is added or set between the current position and the target position, for example, when the user adds or sets "wanda square" between "scholarhouse one" and "ningbo shadow" of a business as the third position, the detection module 40 can detect this setting of the user, and the navigation system takes the address "ningbo city 37150where" wanda square "is located," ningbo city 37999; "district four ming midway 999" as the third position. In addition, the navigation system also allows use of the time at which the user is scheduled to stay at the third location, e.g., the user may schedule to stay at the "Wanda Square" for 2 hours.
The prediction module 50 can predict the time from 'scholarship one' to 'wanda square' to be 30 minutes and the time from 'wanda square' to the merchant 'Ningbo all' to be 1 hour, at which time, the suggestion module 30 can give one or more travel suggestions comprehensively according to the address and the sending time of the 'scholarship one', the address and the staying time of the 'wanda square' and the address and the arrival time of the merchant 'Ningbo all' for the user to confirm or select and confirm. When the user goes from "scholarship one" to "wangtang square" to the merchant "ningbo all" according to the travel advice, the detection module 40 can detect the time actually spent from "scholarship one" to "wangtang square", the time actually spent in "wangtang square" and the time actually spent from "wangtang square" to the merchant "ningbo all", and if the detection module 40 detects that the time actually spent from "scholarship one" to "wangtang square" is 1 hour, the time that the prediction module 50 predicts that it needs to spend from "scholarship one" to "wangtang square" is exceeded for 30 minutes, at which time, the advice module 30 can give out one or more of the advice again for the user to confirm or select and confirm, so as to help the user to better arrange the travel plan.
The sharing module 60 enables sharing of information between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200. The navigation system can guide a user to select sharing of information between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 when the detection module 40 detects that the sharing condition is satisfied between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200, or can directly share information between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 when the detection module detects that the sharing condition is satisfied between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200. Preferably, the travel advice given by the advice module 30 of the navigation system mounted to the mobile electronic device 100 can be shared to the in-vehicle electronic device 200 to be displayed on the display screen of the in-vehicle electronic device 200, thereby facilitating the user to use the navigation system while driving. For example, in one example, when a user opens a vehicle door or when the distance between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 is smaller than the preset threshold, the detection module 40 may consider that the sharing condition is satisfied between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200, so that the sharing module 60 can share the travel advice between the mobile electronic device 100 and the in-vehicle electronic device 200 to guide the user from "schofu number" to "Ningbo of a merchant".
As an alternative example, the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 may be installed in different electronic devices, respectively, such as the example shown in fig. 3, wherein the navigation system is installed in the in-vehicle electronic device 200, and the third party system or program 300 is installed in the mobile electronic device 100.
The user purchases services through the third-party system or program 300 running on the mobile electronic device 100, and then the third-party system or program can provide the target information of the purchased services, for example, the geographic location information where the third-party system or program 300 can provide the providers of the purchased services and/or the time information of the purchased services that should be consumed.
Subsequently, the detection module 40 detects whether the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 meets the preset condition, and if the detection module 40 detects that the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 meets the preset condition, the third party system entry 22 of the user interface 20 of the navigation system can be automatically connected to the third party system or program 300, so that the user interface 20 can determine the target position by searching the target information of the purchased service in the third party system or program 300.
That is, although the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 do not share the same hardware device, when the detection module 40 detects that the relationship between the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfies the preset condition, the user interface 20 of the navigation system can search the target information of the service that the user has purchased through the third party system or program 300 across platforms, thereby facilitating the user to use the navigation system and making the user spend a shorter time acquiring the travel advice.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart of the navigation system of the present invention. At stage 401, services are purchased through the third party system or program 300. In stage 402, the detection module 40 detects whether the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfy the preset condition, if the detection module 40 detects that the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 do not satisfy the preset condition, then stage 403 is executed, the navigation system is kept in an initial state, if the detection module 40 detects that the navigation system and the third party system or program 300 satisfy the preset condition, then stage 404 is executed, and the user interface 20 searches and receives the target information of the purchased service in the third party system or program 300 to determine the target position. In stage 405, the detecting module 40 detects whether the third position is added or set between the current position and the target position, if the detecting module 40 detects that the third position is not added or set between the current position and the target position, stage 406 is performed, the suggesting module 30 gives one or more travel suggestions according to the current position and the target position, if the detecting module 40 detects that the third position is added or set between the current position and the target position, stage 407 is performed, and the suggesting module 30 gives one or more travel suggestions according to the current position, the third position and the target position.
