The present invention relates to a global navigation service, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing a global navigation service through a mobile terminal.
In general, as computers, electronics, and communication technologies evolve rapidly, various wireless communication services using wireless networks have been provided. The most basic wireless communication service is a wireless voice call service that provides a voice call to a mobile terminal user wirelessly, which has a feature of providing a seamless service regardless of time and place.
On the other hand, the wireless communication service as described above is divided into operators by country or region, and because the system is also diverse, there is no mobile phone service that integrates all the world at present.
One of the methods for solving the limitations of the service area is a roaming service, and the roaming service is becoming a generalized service as an additional service to the mobile phone service.
On the other hand, various wireless communication services are provided through a mobile terminal, one of which is a navigation service to guide the way. The navigation service using the mobile terminal may be provided using a GPS system or using location information of a base station.
A navigation service using a mobile terminal provides information such as a path to a user's current location or a destination, a shortest distance to a destination, and the like.
Since a mobile terminal using a navigation service does not have built-in geographic information data such as map data, it may be necessary to connect to a service provider server and receive geographic information data whenever a navigation service is used.
At present, the geographic information data provided by mobile communication providers has been produced in a unified manner in which the map image and the information indicating the names of places or buildings existing in the maps are integrated.
Accordingly, when a mobile terminal operator applies for a roaming service to receive a mobile communication service from a foreign country and wants to use a navigation service, even if the map information produced in the corresponding country is provided, it is written in the language of the corresponding country and used by foreigners. There is a difficult problem to do.
Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, and separates the map image information and the map name information used in the map from the data provided to the navigation service, the map name in a language corresponding to the nationality of the user By providing information, the purpose is to provide a navigation service suitable for the global roaming era.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a global navigation service providing apparatus is disclosed.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a navigation service providing apparatus includes a navigation service request receiver configured to receive a navigation service request through a communication network, and when the navigation service request is received, user information for determining a language of map name information to be provided. The user name provided by the user management unit, the map data extraction unit for extracting the map name information and map image information written in the selected language based on the user information, the map name information or matching information included in the map image information is used to It may include a map data generating unit for generating map data by combining the information and the map image information and a map data providing unit for providing the generated map data.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a global navigation service providing apparatus is disclosed.
In a navigation service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, a navigation service request is received from a communication terminal through a communication network, and when the navigation service request is received, user information for determining a language of map name information to be provided is provided. Providing the step, extracting the map name information and map image information written in the selected language based on the user information, the map name information or the map information using the matching information included in the map image information is used The image information may be combined to generate map data, and the generated map data may be transmitted to the communication terminal.
As the invention allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the written description. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention. In describing the drawings, similar reference numerals are used for similar elements.
Terms including ordinal numbers such as first and second may be used to describe various components, but the components are not limited by the terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be referred to as the second component, and similarly, the second component may also be referred to as the first component. The term and / or includes a combination of a plurality of related items or any item of a plurality of related items.
When a component is referred to as being "connected" or "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to or connected to that other component, but it may be understood that other components may be present in between. Should be. On the other hand, when a component is said to be "directly connected" or "directly connected" to another component, it should be understood that there is no other component in between.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, the terms "comprise" or "have" are intended to indicate that there is a feature, number, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof described in the specification, and one or more other features. It is to be understood that the present invention does not exclude the possibility of the presence or the addition of numbers, steps, operations, components, components, or a combination thereof.
Unless defined otherwise, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Terms such as those defined in the commonly used dictionaries should be construed as having meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of the related art and shall not be construed in ideal or excessively formal meanings unless expressly defined in this application.
