It provides a driving route of Gangnam Station Intersection-Chilseong Intersection-Gyoband Intersection.

Thereafter, the information providing server 20 receives the Chilseong crossroad and St. Mary's hospital crossroad from the third navigation terminal 10 as current location and destination information, respectively, and transmits the seventh crossroad-crossroad range-court to the third navigation terminal 10. It provides driving routes of 3rd Street, Seocho Station and St. Mary's Hospital.

Next, the information providing server 20 cumulatively calculates the number of transfers for each road section of the driving route of the first navigation terminal 10 to the third navigation terminal 10, and the road section of the seven-way crossroad-crossing range is 3. Once, Gangnam Station Sageori-Chilseong Intersection has two road sections, and the remaining sections are once.

As a result, the information providing server 20 can recognize the degree of congestion for each road section according to the cumulative calculation of the number of transfers for each road section of the driving route, thereby making it a database.

Accordingly, the information providing server 20 reflects the congestion degree for each road section in a map database.

Subsequently, the current location information and the destination information are received from the navigation terminal 10 (S210), and when searching for a driving route between the current location and the destination, a driving route composed of a combination of road sections having a low congestion level is searched (S212). It may be delivered to the terminal 10 to provide (S114).

In this case, the road section may designate a section between specific ranges according to an arbitrary, an absolute distance (for example, 2 km), or a specific road (for example, Tehran road).

Meanwhile, the road section may broadly mean a city unit or an expressway such as Seoul or Busan.

That is, the information providing server 20 accumulates the user input traffic information of the navigation terminals 10 at set time intervals and reflects it in a map database to predict the degree of congestion between roads.

As a result, the navigation terminals 10 may travel from the current location to the destination by using the driving route provided from the information providing server 20 (S216).

(Example 3)

Here, in the steps S110, S114, S200, S210, the navigation terminal 10 of the present invention transfers the desired arrival time to the information providing server 20 together.

Subsequently, the information providing server 20 may provide an optimal departure time to the navigation terminal 10 by calculating a driving time required according to current location information and destination information according to a driving route.

For example, the information providing server 20 receives the current location, the destination information, and the desired arrival time at 9:50 pm from Yeoksam Station and Seocho Station, respectively, from the navigation terminal 10, and runs along the driving route for Yeoksam Station and Seocho Station. If the time required is 50 minutes, the 9:00 can be provided to the navigation terminal 10 as an optimum departure time.

The driving time according to the driving route is calculated using the congestion degree for each road section as described above.

(Example 4)

Meanwhile, in step S104, S114, S204, and S214, the information providing server 20 displays the road sections on the driving route in different colors according to the degree of congestion so that the user of the navigation terminal 10 uses only the colors of the road sections on the electronic map. It is possible to recognize the congestion degree for each section.

For example, the information providing server 20 may display a very congested road section in red, a slightly congested road section in yellow, and a smooth communication section in green.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the navigation terminal 10 runs from a specific point, for example, Ilsan Lake Park, to Gyeongpodae, and stores the user theme route storing the driving route from Ilsan Lake Park to Gyeongpodae. 20).
