Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of mobile communication terminal and based on this public transit information service method, its current self position of combination, nearest bus stop or subway station and bus routes and underground route are informed the public traffic information that can arrive required destination in the shortest time to the public transport user.
For realizing this purpose, at the mobile communication terminal that is used to provide the public traffic information service, feature of the present invention is to comprise following a few part:
The 1st database, it preserves the information about public transit route; The 2nd database, it saves as the building of leading the way and showing or the relevant information of road on map; The current location test section, it detects the information about the current location of terminal; Control part, it is with reference to above-mentioned the 1st, 2 databases, and search to the route of destination, and outputs to picture with corresponding search information from active user's position.
For achieving the above object, the invention provides a kind of public transit information service method, comprising: the step that detects user's current location based on above-mentioned mobile communication terminal; Search utilizes the step of the shortest path of public transport from current location to user's desired destination; Step of displaying said shortest route searched.
The present invention is used for providing public traffic information by mobile communication terminal, specifically, of the present inventionly to be intended to provide a kind of when utilizing public transport such as bus or subway, grasp in real time this mobile route, the bus stop that can arrive the destination in the shortest time or subway station relevant information and expense thereof are made up and inform user's method of servicing and be used to provide the mobile communication terminal of this service.
When utilizing service of the present invention, the user utilizes global positioning system to grasp current position after current location is the arrival point input terminal of wishing, can search for nearest bus stop and subway station.If the user has selected nearest bus stop and subway station, then provide to this parking lot or the cartographic information of subway station.
Then, providing the information about available public transport, mainly is the information about bus routes and underground route.And, also append relevant informations such as beeline, shortest time, average required time are provided.
And, after arriving bus stop or subway station, if input is about the simple information of the current public transport that will utilize, then automatically grasp current self position, provide about utilizing, also be provided at the bus of this bus stop or subway station stop or the position of subway to the information of any bar route of required arrival point.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the embodiment of the invention is elaborated, but not as a limitation of the invention.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 provides the formation block diagram of the mobile communication terminal of public traffic information service of the present invention.Omit the explanation of the inscape (means of communication, demonstration means, key input medium, storage means etc.) that has about common mobile communication terminal in the present embodiment, mainly will describe the main composition that is used for public traffic information service of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 1, terminal of the present invention comprises following a few part: the 1st database 101, preserve information about public transport (bus, subway) route; The 2nd database 102 saves as the building of leading the way and showing or the relevant information of road on map; Current location test section 103 receives from the base station or from self global positioning system, detects the information about the current location of terminal; Control part 104, with reference to above-mentioned the 1st, 2 databases, search to the route of destination, and outputs to picture with corresponding search information from active user's position.
Above-mentioned control part 104 is according to the subordinate menu of user by public traffic information service picture and selecting, search from current location to the destination the bus stop or the minimal path information of subway station, show respective routes information and utilize the additional information of this route.At this moment, with reference to the information (distance, traveling time, expense, bus/underground route number etc.) of preserving in above-mentioned the 1st, 2 databases 101,102.
Below the public transport method of servicing that utilizes the terminal of the present invention that as above constitutes is described.
Fig. 2 is presented in the public traffic information service that mobile communication terminal of the present invention provides, and informs the exemplary plot of the motion picture of self-position.As shown in the figure, when selecting public traffic information services menu of the present invention in main menu, shown in Fig. 2 a, output is used for a plurality of subordinates menu of public traffic information service.
The catalogue that it should be noted that the public traffic information services menu that above-mentioned Fig. 2 a shows can be given different titles at identical action (function) according to terminal.
In the present embodiment, in above-mentioned public traffic information services menu, by " 1. informing my position " subordinate's menu, shown in Fig. 2 b, the current location of informing the user by literal (or voice).At this moment, in above-mentioned text, show about the position (example: western door zone prolongs auspiciousness hole) of current location or utilize typical buildings display position (example: before the modern department store).Certainly, can show current position by map, this is self-explantory.Preferably be provided with by option by the user.
