The network 100 may be implemented in various ways. Such a network 100 may comprise a social network.

Hereinafter, a social network according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. 3 is a conceptual diagram of a social network according to the present invention.

Social network is one of the fields of web science research, and refers to a structure of social relations in which an individual or a group becomes a node on the web and is formed by interdependent relationships between the nodes. In this case, all nodes are individual entities existing in the network, and a tie means a relationship between each node.

The social network 100 according to the present invention includes one or more second nodes B, C, D, E, and F having a relationship with the first node A, centering on the first node A. FIG. , G, H, I).

The first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I may be a specific location, a specific road, a specific building, a specific user, a specific terminal, or the like.

For example, when the first node A is a specific user, other users or terminals having a relationship with the user may configure the social network 100 together with the specific user as the second node.

When the first node A is a specific road, other roads, buildings, terminals, or users having a relationship with the specific road may constitute the social network 100 together with the specific road as the second node.

When the first node A is a specific building, other buildings, roads, terminals, or users having a relationship with the specific building may constitute the social network 100 together with the specific building as the second node.

When the first node A is a specific location, other locations, roads, buildings, terminals or users having a relationship with the specific location may constitute the social network 100 together with the specific location as the second node.

Since the social network 100 according to the present invention is formed around a specific node, various social networks 100 may be configured according to a specific node. For example, when a specific node is 'Southern Ring Road', 'Star Tower', 'Gangnam Station', 'Yeouido', etc., the social networks 100 formed around each specific node may be different. At this time, each of the social networks 100 may not match each other, but some of the other nodes included in one social network 100 may be included in other social networks 100. For example, assuming that the social network 100 formed around a node called 'Southbound circulation road' includes a user corresponding to node A and a user corresponding to node B, the node called 'star tower' The social network 100 formed as may include a user corresponding to the node A and a user corresponding to the node C. That is, the user corresponding to the node A may be included in both the social network 100 formed around the 'Southbound circulation road' and the social network 100 formed around the 'star tower'.

In this case, the nodes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I may preferably have location attributes corresponding thereto. For example, when the nodes are a specific location, a specific road, a specific building, and the like, the location of the specific location, a specific road, and a specific building may be a location attribute corresponding to the node, and when the nodes are a specific user or a specific terminal, Alternatively, the current location of a specific user may be a location attribute corresponding to the node.

In addition, the first node (A) may be divided into a static node and a dynamic node, the static node means a node that does not change the corresponding position properties, such as a specific location, a specific road, a specific building, etc. It refers to a node whose location property, such as a specific user or a specific electronic device, may change over time.

In addition, some of the nodes B, C, E, F, G, I of the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I that are related to the first node A. ) Does not have a direct relationship with the first node (A), but some other nodes (D, H) have an indirect relationship with the first node (A). Here, the line connecting the nodes in FIG. 3 means that the nodes have a direct relationship. For example, the node D has a relationship with the first node A through the node I or the node G, and the node H has a relationship with the first node A through the node B or the node F.

At this time, some nodes (B, C, E, F, G, I) is defined as having a primary relationship with the first node (A), and some other nodes (D, H) are the first node ( It is defined as having a secondary relationship with A). Of course, although not shown in the figure, a node having a node that has no relationship with nodes B, C, E, F, G, and node I, but has a relationship with any one of node D and node H, It can be defined that it has a tertiary relationship with the first node (A).

Meanwhile, in the social network 100 according to the present invention, the relationship between the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I may remain static. However, it may be dynamically changed according to a positional relationship between the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. In other words, when the user corresponding to the node B has set the reverse region corresponding to the node A as the region of interest, a predetermined relationship may be formed between the node A and the node B by the user's intention. On the contrary, when the terminal corresponding to the node C enters a distance from the Gangnam station corresponding to the node A within a predetermined range, a relationship may be formed between the node A and the node C regardless of the user's intention.

According to the social network according to the present invention, the first node may have a specific keyword related to the first node as its attribute, and if the specific keyword is included in the information generated and uploaded through the second node, the first node And a relationship can be established between and the second node.

In other words, if a user of Node D is not currently located on the southern ring road, but is watching news at home and encounters a traffic jam due to a fire on some section of the southern ring road, In case of generating and uploading information called 'two-way congestion' due to a fire on some part of the road, a relationship with the southern circulation road (first node) may be formed due to a specific keyword of 'southern circulation road' uploaded by the second node. .

As described above, the relationship between the first node and the second node is not only maintained statically, but also has a relationship that continuously changes according to a positional relationship, keyword relationship, and the like, and is formed around a specific node. Networks can generate information that is very relevant to a particular node.

As such, the existing social network can be formed only by the request between the user and the user by the social relationship between the user and the user, while the social network created by the present invention proceeds to the formation of the relationship and the positional relationship of each node. Depending on the relationship can be formed.

As a result, various types of traffic information that may be of interest in a specific region or various types of information generated and uploaded by various entities around a specific location may form a social network. According to this feature, the social network according to the present invention can continuously change its constituent nodes over time.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as described above, the social network 100 may be formed, and the second terminal 400 may receive various information through the social network 100. However, the idea of the present invention is not limited to the communication of various electronic devices through a social network.

The display module 141 is a device that outputs data that can be visually recognized by the navigation device 10. Meanwhile, as described above, when the display module 141 is a touch screen, the display module 141 may simultaneously serve as the output unit 140 and the input unit 120.

The audio output module 143 outputs audio data that can be recognized acoustically. The audio output module 143 outputs an audio signal related to a function (eg, a path guidance function) performed by the navigation 10. The audio output module 143 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The storage unit 150 may store a program for operating the navigation 10, and may temporarily store data (path data and image data) input / output in relation to the navigation 10. In addition, the storage unit 150 may store map data used for the route guidance service. The storage unit 150 may be embedded in or detachable from the navigation device 10, and may include a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, Card type memory (e.g. SD or XD memory), RAM (Random Access Memory, RAM), Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), ReadOnly Memory (ROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable ReadOnly Memory (EEPROM), PROM The storage medium may include at least one type of storage medium of a programmable read only memory, a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, and an optical disk. The navigation device 10 may operate in association with a web storage that performs a storage function of the storage unit 150 on the Internet.

The power supply unit 160 receives external power and internal power to supply power required for the operation of each component of the navigation device 10 or another device connected to the navigation device 10.

The controller 170 typically controls the overall operation of the navigation device 10. In addition, the controller 170 may output a control signal for controlling another device connected to the navigation device 10. The controller 170 may include other modules (ie, the communication unit 110, the input unit 120, the sensing unit 130, the output unit 140, the storage unit 150, the power supply unit 160, etc.) described above, and / or information. Alternatively, the control unit may include an input / output unit (ie, an interface unit) for transmitting and receiving a control signal.

Next, the configuration of the server according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a server according to the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the server 200 may include a communication unit 210, a database 230, and a control unit 220. The components shown in FIG. 5 are not essential, so the server 200 may be implemented with more or fewer components.

Hereinafter, the components of the server will be described in order.

The second communication unit 210 enables communication with the server 200 and the network 100. For example, the second communication unit 210 may include various communication modules capable of wireless communication through wired / wireless communication.

The database 230 may store various information collected from the network 100. The database 230 may be implemented by various types of storage media, such as the storage unit 150 of the navigation 10 described above.

The second controller 220 typically controls the overall operation of the server 200. The second control unit 220 may include a location information processing module 221, an information collection module 222, a condition processing module 224, and an information transmission module 226.

The position information processing module 221 receives the position information corresponding to the first terminal 300 and / or the second terminal 400 from the first terminal 300 and / or the second terminal 400, and the second communication unit. Through 210, necessary information is calculated based on the received location information.

The necessary information includes section information in which the first terminal 300 and / or the second terminal 400 are located, moving speed information of the first terminal 300 and / or the second terminal 400, and the first terminal 300. And / or movement direction information of the second terminal 400.

The location information processing module 228 may transmit the calculated information to the first terminal 300 and / or the second terminal 400 through the second communication unit 210.

The information collection module 222 collects necessary information from the network 100 through the second communication unit 210.

On the other hand, the information collection module 222 determines, among the information collected through the second communication unit 210, meets a predetermined condition, and if it does not meet the condition, and stores the collected information in the database 230 The filtering operation may be performed without discarding the data or temporarily storing the data in the database 230 and discarding the data. For example, in consideration of information corresponding to the same section and / or location among the collected information (hereinafter referred to as the same section information), an average value and / or deviation of information obtained from the same section information is calculated. Afterwards, information outside the predetermined reference range may be filtered without being stored in the database 230.

In addition, the second control unit 220 may perform an operation of assigning evaluation information to the collected information. Evaluation information given to the collected information may be calculated by various criteria.

The condition processing module 224 performs a function of processing condition information received from the second terminal 400 through the second communication unit 210. As will be described in detail below, in particular, the condition processing module 224, based on the condition information, among the information stored in the database 230, or information on the network from the information on the network 100, You can search. For example, the condition processing module 224 extracts information corresponding to the condition information among the information stored in the database 230. The information extracted by the condition processing module 224 may be different from each other according to the content of the condition. The information extracted as described above will be defined as a dynamic information group in this document. The condition processing module 224 generates the dynamic information group based on the condition information will be described in detail later.

The information transmission module 226 transmits predetermined information to the second terminal 400 with reference to the dynamic information group. When the information transmission module 226 transmits the information to the second terminal 400, the amount of information (information included in the dynamic information group) to be transmitted to the second terminal 400 exceeds a predetermined criterion. In this case, only some of them may be transmitted to the second terminal 400. In this case, the information transmission module 226 may first select a part of the information to be transmitted based on various criteria. For example, the information transmission module 226 may first select information to be transmitted in consideration of evaluation information provided to the information.

Hereinafter, a method of acquiring and collecting information by the interaction of the first terminal and the server under the above-described system environment will be described. For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, the first terminal 300 and the second terminal 400 described with reference to FIG. 2 will be described as being implemented by the navigation 10 described with reference to FIG. 4. Furthermore, in the case where there are specific electronic devices corresponding to the first node and the second node described with reference to FIG. 3, it will be described assuming that the specific electronic device is also implemented by the navigation 10 described with reference to FIG. 4. . However, the inventive concept is not limited to the implementation of the first and second terminals 300 and 400 and / or electronic devices corresponding to the first and second nodes by the navigation 10.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an information collection method according to the present invention.

The navigation 10 and 300 may acquire various information through the input unit 120 (S100).

For example, information input directly from the user by the user input module 121 may be obtained. Alternatively, sound generated in or outside the vehicle in which the user's nurturing or navigation 10 and 300 are attached or installed may be obtained through the microphone 123. Alternatively, an image inside and outside the vehicle to which the navigation 10 and 300 are attached or installed may be acquired through the image acquisition module 125. Hereinafter, the information obtained through the input unit 120 of the navigation 10, 300 may be referred to as user content.

The navigation 10, 300 may obtain location information (S110).

For example, the navigation 10, 300 may calculate a coordinate value (eg, longitude and latitude coordinates) in which the navigation 10, 300 is currently located by using the GPS signal received by the location data module 111. .

Subsequently, the navigation 10, 300 may transmit the user content to the server 200 (S120).

In this case, the navigation 10 and 300 may transmit the obtained location information to the server 200. The navigation 10 and 300 may transmit the visual information to the server 200 together with the location information.

The location information may be location information calculated before and after a time point at which user content is obtained.

The location information may be transmitted to the server 200 while the user content is obtained, may be transmitted together while the user content is transmitted to the server 200, and may be transmitted after the user content is transmitted to the server 200. have.

The location information may correspond to user content. For example, when the first user content obtained by the navigation 10, 300 is generated at the A location, and the second user content is generated at the B location, the first user content may correspond to the A location, and the second The user content may correspond to the B position.

Meanwhile, location information corresponding to one content may be plural. While acquiring the third user content, the location of the navigation 10, 300 may change with time, and accordingly, a plurality of location information may correspond to the third user content. For example, when the third user content is a driving image acquired while driving on a road, the navigation 10,300 was positioned at the C position at the time when the driving image was acquired, and a predetermined time was obtained when the driving image was acquired. If the navigation (10,300) is located at the D position at the time passed, and the navigation (10,300) is located at the E position at the end of the acquisition of the driving image, the location information corresponding to the third user content is C position, D position , E position. Of course, three or more pieces of location information may correspond to one piece of content, or one piece of location information may correspond to each other.

As described above, visual information may correspond to user content. The way in which the visual information corresponds is the same as or similar to the method in which the location information corresponds to the user content.

The navigation 10 and 300 may further calculate speed information, direction information, section information, etc. corresponding to the user content. When speed information, direction information, section information, and the like are further calculated, the calculated information may be transmitted to the server 200.

The speed information, the direction information, and the section information corresponding to the content may be the specific road sections to which the moving speed, the moving direction, and the location of the navigation 10, 300, respectively, calculated while the user content is acquired. have.

For example, when the first terminal 300 is located in 'Yangjae Station', when the user of the first terminal 300 inputs the information 'slowing from Yangjae Station toward Gangnam Station', the information entered by the user and Together with the location information 'Yangjae station' can be transmitted to the server 200. The location information may be obtained by the location data module 111 described above. In addition, the location information may be transmitted in the form of text 'yangjae region', but may also be transmitted in the form of longitude coordinates and latitude coordinates obtained by the position data module 111.

In addition, when the first terminal 300 transmits the information to the server 200, the first terminal 300 may also transmit direction information related to the obtained information. The direction information may reflect the direction that the first terminal 300 is traveling when the information is acquired by the first terminal 300. For example, when the first terminal 300 is proceeding from 'Yangjae Station' to 'Gangnam Station' on Gangnam-daero, the user communicates from 'Yangjae Station to Gangnam Station' via the microphone 123 of the first terminal 300. When the upbringing of 'smooth' is obtained, the upbringing (ie, voice information) of the obtained user may be transmitted to the server 200 together with the direction information.

The speed information may be calculated by the plurality of position information obtained as described above. For example, when the location information is periodically acquired, the moving speed of the navigation device 10 may be calculated by using a distance between the plurality of location information and a preset acquisition period. The speed information can alternatively be obtained directly from the vehicle in which the navigation 10, 300 is installed. For example, vehicle speed information may be obtained from an engine control unit (ECU) installed in the vehicle.

The direction information may be calculated by the plurality of location information obtained as described above. For example, when a plurality of location information is acquired while acquiring user content, the direction information may be calculated by the direction of the trajectory formed by the plurality of location information.

The section information may be calculated by the plurality of location information obtained as described above. For example, when a plurality of location information is included in a road section (eg, Teheran-ro Yeoksam Station-Gangnam Station section) on the map data, the road section on the map data may be section information.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the location information and / or the direction information may be information extracted from information to be transmitted (that is, user content).

For example, when the user inputs 'communication toward Gwacheon as Yangjae' through the first terminal 300, the first terminal 300 may extract location information and / or direction information from the information input by the user. Can be. That is, 'Yangjae-daero' may be extracted as location information, and 'Gwacheon direction' may be extracted as direction information.

Alternatively, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the location information may reflect the location attribute assigned to the node associated with the input information (ie, user content).

For example, when 'Gangnam Station' exists as a first node, the first terminal 300 is a second node having a relationship with 'Gangnam Station' and inputs 'crossroad signal failure' for a node called 'Gangnam Station'. In this case, the input information may be transmitted to the server 200 together with the location information 'Gangnam station'. If the direction attribute is also assigned to the first node, direction information reflecting the direction attribute assigned to the first node may be transmitted to the server 200.

As described above, the information calculated by the embodiments of the present invention may be transmitted to the server 200 while the user content is obtained, may be transmitted together while the user content is transmitted to the server 200, and the user content. May be transmitted after being transmitted to the server 200.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the navigation 10 and 300 may transmit only the location information and / or time information corresponding to the user content to the server 200, and thus, the above-described speed information, direction information, and section Information and the like can be calculated by the server. The method of calculating the speed information, the direction information, and the section information by the server 200 is the same as or similar to the method calculated by the navigation 10, 300. That is, the server 200 may calculate speed information, direction information, section information, etc. using the plurality of location information received from the navigation 10, 300. Alternatively, the server 200 may extract direction information, location information, or section information from user content received from the navigation 10, 300. Alternatively, the server 200 may obtain location information from location attributes assigned to nodes associated with user content received from the navigation 10, 300.

As described above, information (user content) may be obtained by the first terminal 300, and the obtained information may be transmitted to the server 200. In addition, the information (user content) may correspond to any one or more of location information, speed information, direction information, and section information.

Hereinafter, a method of providing information under the above-described system environment will be described.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an information providing method according to the present invention.

First, as described above, the server 200 receives various information (for example, user content, etc.) from the network 100 (S200).

The received various information may include traffic related information, traffic information, information on a specific POI, conversation information, and the like. In addition, the received various types of information may correspond to visual information, location information, direction information, and speed information related thereto. In addition, the various types of information may correspond to identification information about a user or a terminal of the user who has transmitted various kinds of information. The identification information of the user or the terminal of the user may be transmitted from the navigation 10, 300 to the server when the user content is transmitted.

Subsequently, the server 200 stores the received information in a database (S210).

The received information may optionally be stored. That is, all of the received information may be stored, or only part of the received information may be stored. For example, the server 200 may selectively store only the information meeting the criteria after evaluating the content of the information received through the social network 100 according to a predetermined criterion. The predetermined criterion may be determined by reflecting the purpose of information to be provided from the server 200 to the navigation device 10. For example, if the traffic related information is to be transmitted to the navigation device 10, the server 200 may determine whether the received information includes the traffic related information, and determine that the traffic related information is not included. If received, the received information can be discarded without storing. Hereinafter, the operation of the server 200 selectively storing the received information in the database will be referred to as a 'filtering operation' or 'filtering'.

The server 200 may store the received information (that is, user content) in the database and map the data to the navigation map data. At this time, the server 200 may map the received information to the map data using location information and / or section information corresponding to the information.

The information may be classified and stored according to location information and / or section information. For example, the information may be classified and stored by administrative districts such as city, county, and district, and may be stored separately by roads such as outer circulation road, southern circulation road, and Olympic road. Alternatively, the subdivision may be classified and stored for a section of a predetermined road such as A-B section of the outer circulation road and C-D section of the southern circulation road.

In addition, the information may be classified and stored in consideration of the direction information included in the information. For example, it may be classified and stored in the A direction of the A-B section of the outer ring road or the B direction of the A-B section of the outer ring road.

The server 200 may further classify and store the speed information corresponding to the information.

On the other hand, the server 200 may add the evaluation information to the information and store it together. The evaluation information may be representative of the reliability of the information. For example, a higher grade of the evaluation information may indicate that the information is of higher reliability, and conversely, a lower grade of the evaluation information may indicate that the information is of lower reliability.

The way in which the assessment information is assigned to the information can vary widely. For example, it may be calculated in consideration of the evaluation information given to the user or the terminal that transmitted the information. Alternatively, when the information includes traffic related information, the evaluation information may be calculated in consideration of a result compared with traffic information provided from another traffic information providing server.

Meanwhile, the server 200 may discard the information after a predetermined time elapses after the information is obtained using the time information corresponding to the information.

Subsequently, the server 200 receives a condition from the second terminal 400 (S220).

The condition is generated in the second terminal 400, and the navigation 10 can be generated by various algorithms. A specific embodiment of generating a condition by the second terminal 400 will be described later.

The condition may include at least one of a specific user, a specific terminal, a location, a time, and a direction.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 may select some information in consideration of the received condition. For example, when the condition information includes the location and the direction, the server 200 transmits from the first terminals corresponding to the location and the direction (for example, the first terminals passing in the direction). Information can be selected.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one selected from a plurality of pieces of information stored in a server or a plurality of pieces of information accessible through the social network 100 may constitute a dynamic information group. have. Since the dynamic information group is closely related to the condition generated and transmitted by the second terminal 400, a detailed embodiment of generating the condition by the second terminal 400 will be described with reference to the following.

The server 200 selects a part of the collected information and transmits it to the second terminal in consideration of the received condition (S230).

The server 200 may generate a dynamic information group by selecting some of the collected information in consideration of the received condition. Subsequently, the server 200 may transmit information included in the dynamic information group to the second terminal 400. That is, the server 200 may transmit the information included in the dynamic information group configured from the collected information to the second terminal 400.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 may store the information obtained by the first terminal 300 as it is, and transmit it to the second terminal 400 without any processing. For example, when a driving image obtained while driving a vehicle by the first terminal 300 is photographed, the server 200 receives / stores the captured image and then meets the received condition. The video may be transmitted to the second terminal 400 as it is without any processing.

On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 stores the information obtained by the first terminal 300, after processing the information before transmitting to the second terminal 400, The processed information may be transmitted to the second terminal 400. Methods of processing information can vary. A specific method of processing the information will be described later.

As described above, according to embodiments of the present invention, the server 200 may collect various types of information from the social network 100 formed by various relationships, and among these pieces of information, received from the second terminal 400. In consideration of the condition information, it is possible to provide some information necessary for the second terminal 400 by selecting some information and then transmitting the selected information to the second terminal 400.

Hereinafter, an information receiving method according to embodiments of the present invention will be described. In particular, a method of receiving information by interaction with the server 200 on the second terminal 400 side will be described. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, it will be described assuming that the second terminal 400 is implemented by the navigation 10 described above.

8 is a flowchart of an information receiving method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the navigation 10 and 400 obtain an event (S300).

Events can vary. The event may be related to route setting, the event may be related to the location of the current navigation 10,400, and the event may be related to the user's request.

If an event occurs, condition information is generated based on the generated event (S310).

Accordingly, the generated condition information is transmitted to the server 200 (S320), and information corresponding to the condition is received from the server (S330).

In detail, when a route is set in the navigation (10, 400) (when an event occurs), the navigation (10,400) includes a currently set route and a traveling direction to obtain traffic related information in front of the route. Condition information can be generated. Alternatively, in order to obtain various information related to the destination for the set route, condition information including location information of the destination may be generated.

For example, referring to FIG. 9, when the path P is obtained with respect to the destination T at the current location C of the navigation 10, 400, various condition information may be generated accordingly. The generated information may be transmitted to the server. As described above, when the server 200 transmits information satisfying a condition, various information obtained through the social network 100 in the information area IA shown in FIG. Information D1, D2, and D3 may be displayed, among which the first information D1 and the second information D2 are terminals of other users (i.e., traffic conditions at the north end of Hannam Bridge, which is in front of the route). The first terminal displays traffic related information entered by the user. That is, the first and second information D1 and D2 correspond to information corresponding to condition information including path and direction information generated based on the set path P. On the other hand, the third information (D3) is a picture of the landscape of Dankook University, which is the destination (T), and displays the information directly obtained by the user through another user's terminal (that is, the first terminal). That is, the first and second information D3 correspond to information corresponding to the condition information generated based on the set destination T.

On the other hand, if the navigation (10,400) is moving on the road where the fork comes out (for example, entering an intersection or before reaching the IC on the highway), such a situation is detected as an event, and after each fork at the fork Road information on roads may be generated as condition information.

For example, referring to FIG. 10, when the navigation 10, 400 moves on the Gyeongbu Expressway and is located at a branch point (Seocho IC or Yangjae IC of FIG. 10) within a predetermined distance ahead, an event occurs. According to such an event, the navigation 10, 400 may generate information about roads after entering the respective branch points as condition information. Accordingly, the server 200 receiving the condition selects information corresponding to the condition and transmits the information to the navigation system 10 and 400, and the received information D4 and D5 are displayed in the information area IA as shown in the figure. Can be displayed.

As another example, referring to FIG. 11, when the navigation device 10 is approaching the Yangjae station crossroad range, the navigation 10 acquires this as an event, generates condition information including the Yangjae station crossroad range, and the road for each direction from the server to the Yangjae station crossroad range. Traffic situation information of the can be provided to the navigation (10). The provided information D6, D7, and D8 may be displayed in the information area IA, as shown in FIG. 11.

The navigation 10, 400 may receive input related to condition generation from a user and generate condition information based on the received input. For example, if a user wants to check traffic information or various information about a specific location irrespective of a road currently being operated, a currently set route, a current location, etc., the user inputs a specific location, and the navigation 10 inputs the input. Condition information can be generated based on the received information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when a user is driving a Tehran road using a vehicle equipped with the navigation device 10, and wants to know traffic related information near Yangjae station, the input window IW is displayed in the input window IW. 'Yangjae station' and select a specific function key (FK), the product information including the Yangjae station is generated, and traffic-related information related thereto can be received and displayed as shown in the information area (IA).

There may also be various ways a user can enter a location. For example, referring to FIG. 13, if the user wants to know information about restaurants nearby while driving, the user may touch the restaurant, and accordingly, the navigation unit 10 may receive information about the restaurant. Can be displayed.

As such, the navigation device 10 may acquire various events and generate various kinds of condition information based on the events. According to embodiments of the present invention, the condition information may include location information, direction information, time information, specific user information, specific terminal information, and the like. This can be determined by the type of event.

As described above, the server 200 receives the condition information from the second terminal 400 to configure the dynamic information group, which will be described in detail below.

14 to 16 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a dynamic information group related to embodiments of the present invention.

As described above, the information collected through the network 100 may be mapped and stored in the map data based on the location information corresponding thereto. A, B, C, D, E and F shown in FIG. 14 indicate the roads shown in FIG. 14, and a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h and i are shown in FIG. Is to mark each intersection. In addition, the points shown in FIG. 14 indicate locations to which information collected through the network 100 is mapped. In addition, the arrow displayed in each point represents the direction information corresponding to the information.

If the location information corresponding to the e intersection is received from the navigation 10 as the condition information, as shown in FIG. 15, the e intersection may be set to the dynamic information area DA1 within a specific radius, and as shown in FIG. Information mapped in the information area DA1 may be configured as a dynamic information group.

That is, when the condition information includes only a specific position without a condition on the direction, the dynamic information area DA1 may be set without direction, as shown in FIG. 15.

If a path is received from the navigation 10 as the condition information, as shown in FIG. 16, the information located on the path and having a direction coinciding with the direction of the path includes dynamic information groups DA2 and DA3. , DA4, DA5). At this time, among the information included in the dynamic information groups DA2, DA3, DA4, and DA5, messages included in each information group may be sequentially transmitted in consideration of the location and the path of the second terminal 400. . For example, as illustrated in FIG. 16, when the navigation device 10 is located at C, the dynamic information group (closest to the current position C) among all the dynamic information groups DA2, DA3, DA4, and DA5 may be selected. One or more information selected from DA2) may be sent to the navigation 10, and as the location of the navigation 10 moves along the path, one or more information selected from the dynamic information group DA3 may then be In addition, one or more pieces of information selected from the dynamic information group DA4 may be sequentially transmitted to the navigation device 10.

As described above, the types of information that can be collected and provided by embodiments of the present invention can vary widely. For example, the information may include text information, image information, sound information, and the like. On the other hand, the content of such information may also be very diverse. For example, the information may include traffic related information, user information on a specific location of interest, advertisement information, and the like.

17 to 19 illustrate screens in which various pieces of information related to one embodiment of the present invention are displayed on a second terminal side.

FIG. 17 illustrates that text information is collected according to embodiments of the present invention, and thus text information is displayed on the second terminal. As shown in FIG. 17, an information area IA is provided in the second terminal 400, and information received from the server by the condition information generated by the second terminal 400 is stored in the information area IA. Can be displayed. As shown in FIG. 17, the text information may include traffic information and may include advertisement information for a specific location.

The information provided should be included in the social network 100 formed in relation to a specific node, and should be information corresponding to the condition information generated by the second terminal 400.

Meanwhile, due to the limitation of the size of the information area IA, only a part of the information provided from the server 200 to the second terminal 400 may be displayed in the information area IA. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, four distinct pieces of information are displayed in the information area IA. In fact, the number of pieces of information provided from the server 200 to the second terminal 400 in accordance with the condition information is actually displayed. Can be ten more than that. At this time, information not yet displayed according to a predetermined user input or occurrence of a predetermined event may be sequentially displayed in the information area IA. The order of displaying the information may be determined according to various criteria. For example, the order of displaying the information may be determined according to the distance according to the distance from the current location of the second terminal 400 and the condition information generated by the second terminal 400. The order may be determined by the order according to the degree, the order according to the evaluation information assigned to the information, the order different from the time when the information is generated, and the like.

FIG. 18 illustrates that image information is collected and displayed on the second terminal according to embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 18, when image information corresponding to the condition information generated by the second terminal 400 is received, the received image information may be displayed on a part of the screen of the second terminal 400. The image information may be a CCTV image that reflects the current traffic conditions of the road that is driven when the left turn at the intersection according to the condition information generated according to the event entering the intersection. Alternatively, the image may not be obtained by CCTV, but may be an image obtained by another terminal located on a road that is currently driven when left turning.

FIG. 19 illustrates that various types of voice information are collected according to embodiments of the present invention, and thus voice information is output to the second terminal. In particular, FIG. 19 illustrates that a user of a second terminal 400 and a user of another terminal exchange information by voice chat according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The exchange of information by voice chat may be possible by the second terminal 400 joining a chat channel formed through the social network 100 at all times. The chat according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a chat through a general text input instead of a voice chat, but it is preferable to implement the chat in the form of a voice chat since it is mostly used while driving a vehicle due to the characteristics of the navigation. .

However, the input terminal of the information may use a speech-to-text (STT) technology, and the input may be fostered, but the format of the transmitted / received information may be changed in the form of text. In this case, the terminal receiving the information may, on the contrary, convert the text information into voice information again and output it using text-to-speech (TTS) technology.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server 200 processes the two or more pieces of highly related information among the plurality of pieces of information included in the dynamic information group constituted by the conditions in association with each other, and then processes the two or more pieces of information into the second terminal 400. Can transmit

The association may be determined by the location attribute, direction attribute, information about the source of the information (eg, the node that generated the information), and the like, assigned to the information.

For example, if the dynamic information group contains text information about resting place A located on Gyeongbu Expressway, and the dynamic information group contains CCTV images of resting place A, the text information and CCTV images are combined and processed. New information may be generated and the processed information may be transmitted to the second terminal 400. That is, when the location attributes assigned to each piece of information are similar, the pieces of information may be determined to be related and the two pieces of information may be combined and combined.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server 200 associates and processes information related to a plurality of information included in the dynamic information group, but not included in the dynamic information group, and then processes the second terminal 400. Can be sent to.

For example, when the condition created by the second terminal 400 is 'first central highway', the dynamic information group may be configured with information related to the first central highway, and the server 200 may then The first central highway may be determined to be highly related to the second central highway, and may be transmitted to the second terminal 400 by combining information included in the dynamic information group and information related to the second central highway.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when there is overlapping content among the plurality of pieces of information included in the dynamic information group, the server 200 may transmit only some of the information of the overlapping content to the second terminal 400. have. For example, as information on traffic conditions on a particular road, when a total of seven pieces of information indicating that the communication is smooth are collected from the novel network 100, one of the seven pieces of information is selected to the second terminal 400. Can transmit In this case, the criterion for selecting information to be transmitted among the overlapping information may be random, but may be selected based on other additional information such as evaluation information described above. In this case, by transmitting the number of overlapping information together with the selected information, it may help the user of the second terminal 400 to determine the reliability of the received information.

Hereinafter, a user content input method according to the present invention will be described.

The user content input method according to the present invention will be described using the navigation system 10 according to the present invention. Here, the navigation system 10 is used to easily explain the user content input method according to the present invention. Therefore, the user content input method according to the present invention is not limited by the navigation system 10 according to the present invention.

The user content input method according to the present invention may be performed using another device performing a function similar to at least one of the navigation 10, the black box, and the server 200 included in the navigation 10 system according to the present invention. have. Here, the other device is a mobile communication terminal, such as a smart phone (smart phone), a tablet computer (tablet computer), a portable multimedia player (PMP), personal digital assistance (PDA) and a general knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs It may include other electronic devices that are obvious to the person.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 20. 20 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for inputting user content according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 20, a first embodiment of a method for inputting user content according to the present invention includes obtaining a driving state of a vehicle (S410), displaying an interface for inputting user content (S420), and a vehicle. Changing the displayed interface according to the driving state of the (S430), generating the user content according to the user's input through the interface (S440), obtaining the location information corresponding to the user content (S450), the user At least one of the step of associating the content with the location information (S460) and the step of transmitting at least one of the user content and the location information (S470).

Hereinafter, each step of the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention will be described.

The navigation device 10 may acquire a driving state of the vehicle (S410). This step will be described with reference to FIG. 21 is a view showing whether the passenger of the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the invention boarding.

The driving state of the vehicle may include at least one of a driving speed of the vehicle, whether the vehicle is driven, and whether the passenger is a passenger. Here, driving of the vehicle may be whether the vehicle is stopped or driving. In addition, whether or not the passenger is a boarder may be whether someone other than the driver is in the vehicle.

The navigation device 10 may acquire a driving speed of the vehicle. The navigation 10 may acquire various driving speeds of the vehicle.

First, the navigation 10 may directly detect the driving speed of the vehicle and obtain it.

For example, the detector 130 may detect the driving speed of the vehicle. In detail, the detection unit 130 may include an acceleration sensor to detect the acceleration and the driving speed of the vehicle through the acceleration sensor. The controller 140 may acquire the driving speed of the vehicle through the sensor 130.

For another example, the detector 130 may detect a speed by mounting a sensor on a driving unit of the vehicle. In detail, the detector 130 may detect the driving speed by detecting the number of revolutions of the wheel of the vehicle or a portion connected thereto. In addition, the controller 140 may obtain a traveling speed from the sensor 130.

For another example, the controller 140 may obtain location information through the communication unit 110 and use the same to obtain a driving speed of the vehicle. In detail, the controller 140 obtains a first position of the first time point through the communication unit 110, obtains a second position of the second time point, and obtains a second position from the first position between the first time point and the second time point. The traveling speed can be obtained based on the distance traveled to the position.

Next, the navigation device 10 may obtain a traveling speed of the vehicle from the outside.

For example, the control unit 140 may receive the driving speed of the vehicle from the black box obtained the traveling speed of the vehicle through the communication unit 110 in a similar manner as described above.

For another example, the controller 140 may obtain the driving speed of the vehicle from the electronic equipment of the vehicle. The vehicle is generally provided with an instrument panel that detects and displays the running speed of the vehicle and the engine speed, and the controller 140 may receive the running speed and the engine speed from the vehicle. Here, the controller 140 may calculate the running speed of the vehicle based on the rotation speed of the engine.

The navigation device 10 may acquire whether the vehicle is driven.

As described above, the navigation device 10 acquires the traveling speed of the vehicle, and the controller 140 may determine that the vehicle is stopped when the vehicle is stopped and that the vehicle is driven when the vehicle moves.

In this case, the controller 140 may determine that the vehicle is stopped when the traveling speed of the vehicle is less than or equal to a predetermined speed. This is to remove the error caused by the fine movement of the vehicle.

On the other hand, the navigation device 10 does not necessarily need to acquire a signal that quantitatively reflects the speed of the vehicle, but merely receives an on / off signal that qualitatively reflects whether the vehicle is driving or stopping according to the speed of the vehicle, or It may be determined whether the vehicle is driven according to the presence or absence of the reception.

The navigation device 10 may acquire whether a passenger rides in the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 21, the camera photographs the interior of the vehicle, and the controller 140 may acquire an image of the interior of the vehicle and thus determine whether a passenger is riding in the vehicle. Here, the controller 140 may analyze the image inside the vehicle to recognize the person seated in the driver's seat as the driver P1 and the person seated in the passenger seat as the passenger P2.

Alternatively, the black box may photograph the inside of the vehicle, and the controller 140 may obtain an image of the inside of the vehicle from the black box and thus determine whether the passenger is riding in the vehicle.

The navigation device 10 may display an interface for inputting user content in operation S420. This step will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. FIG. 22 is a diagram of user content according to the first embodiment of the method for inputting user content according to the present invention, and FIG. 23 is a diagram of a virtual keyboard of the first embodiment of the method for inputting user content according to the present invention.

The display may display an interface for input of user content. The display may be a touch screen.

Here, the user content is a message reflecting a traffic situation and may mean information in a text form M1 as shown in FIG. 22. However, in some cases, as shown in FIG. 22, the user content may be an audio or video M2 reflecting a traffic situation.

The controller 140 may control the display to provide such an interface. In this case, the controller 140 may control the display to display the interface according to the signal for requesting the interface.

For example, the controller 140 may control the display to display such an interface when there is an input for requesting an interface from a user or when a predetermined condition is achieved. Here, the predetermined conditions may vary, such as when the vehicle is stopped, when a certain shock is applied to the vehicle, or when a certain sound is input from the outside.

Meanwhile, the interface for inputting user content displayed on the display may be a virtual keyboard displayed on a touch screen, that is, a virtual keyboard as shown in FIG. 23.

Alternatively, the interface for inputting user content may be an interface for providing at least one item reflecting a keyword related to traffic.

Meanwhile, the controller 140 may also display a virtual keyboard and an interface for providing an item on the display.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying an interface for providing at least one item in which the navigation 10 reflects a keyword related to traffic will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. 24 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying an interface for providing at least one item of the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention, and FIG. 25 illustrates a plurality of first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention. It is a figure about an item.

A method of displaying an interface for providing at least one item reflecting a keyword related to traffic includes storing a plurality of items (S421), obtaining driving information (S422), and driving as shown in FIG. At least one of selecting at least one candidate item based on the information (S423) and displaying the selected candidate item (S424) may be included.

The navigation device 10 may store a plurality of items reflecting keywords related to traffic (S421).

The storage unit 150 may store the plurality of items.

Here, the plurality of items may reflect keywords related to traffic, respectively. Here, as illustrated in FIG. 25, the plurality of items may reflect at least one of a location, a driving direction, and a traffic situation.

The item reflecting the location may reflect one of a place name, a section name, a road name, and a point of interest (POI). For example, the name of the place may be Sejong-ro Intersection, the name of the section is Southern Circulation Error IC, the name of the road is National Highway 36, and the area of interest may be the Gangnam Kyobo Tower.

The item reflecting the driving direction may reflect a direction in which the vehicle may operate at a specific location or a specific road. For example, the driving direction may be the same direction as east, west, north, north, up or down, toward Seoul, towards Busan, and the like.

The item reflecting the traffic situation may reflect at least one of a traffic situation, a road surface condition, a weather condition, and an event related to traffic. Here, the communication situation may include at least one of smooth, slow motion, delay and congestion. Events related to traffic may include at least one of accidents, signal breakdowns, road works, road breakage, drinking control, rally or demonstrations and heavy snowfall.

The navigation device 10 may acquire driving information (S422).

Here, the driving information is meant to encompass the overall information related to the driving of the vehicle, for example, the position of the vehicle, the moving direction, the driving speed, the acceleration, the impact amount, the operation state, the driving image, the ambient temperature, the ambient humidity and other Information about at least one of the distance from the vehicle may be included.

For example, the controller 140 may receive the GNSS signal through the communication unit 110 and acquire at least one of the position, the moving direction, and the driving speed of the vehicle according to the GNSS signal.

For another example, the controller 140 may acquire the speed, acceleration, impact amount, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and distance from other vehicles through the sensor 130.

As another example, the controller 140 may receive and obtain various driving information including a driving image from the black box through the communication unit 110.

The navigation device 10 may select at least one candidate item based on the driving information (S423).

The controller 140 may select a candidate item among the plurality of items based on the driving information. In other words, the controller 140 may select an item corresponding to the driving information among the plurality of items as a candidate item.

For example, when the location of the vehicle is acquired, the controller 140 may select at least one of the items reflecting the position among the plurality of items and the item reflecting the driving direction from the position as candidate items. Alternatively, the controller 140 may select at least one of the items reflecting a traffic situation frequently occurring at the location as a candidate item. In detail, when the location is a habitual congestion section or a drinking control section, the controller 140 may select an item reflecting a congestion or an item reflecting a drinking control as a candidate item.

For another example, when the moving direction of the vehicle is obtained, the controller 140 may select an item reflecting the driving direction capable of traveling according to the moving direction among the plurality of items as a candidate item. In detail, when moving on the national road No. 1, the controller 140 may select an item reflecting the direction of Seoul, Busan, etc. as a candidate item.

For another example, when the speed of the vehicle is obtained, an item reflecting a communication situation in which the speed of the vehicle corresponds may be selected as a candidate item. That is, if the vehicle is driving at 5 km / h, an item reflecting the congestion or delay may be selected as a candidate item. In addition, the controller 140 may select an item reflecting a traffic situation that may cause such a communication situation as a candidate item. That is, when the vehicle is congested, an item reflecting an event such as an accident occurrence, signal failure, road construction, etc. may be selected as a candidate item.

The navigation device 10 may display the selected candidate item in operation S424. This step will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. FIG. 26 is a first view of an interface for providing at least one item reflecting a keyword related to traffic of a first embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention, and FIG. 27 is a first view of the user content input method according to the present invention. 2 is a diagram illustrating an interface for providing at least one item reflecting a keyword related to traffic of an embodiment.

The display may indicate the selected candidate item.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 26, the controller 140 may display an item reflecting a keyword related to traffic in a separate window on the display.

For another example, the controller 140 may display a map for guiding the route of the navigation 10 through a display as shown in FIG. 27, and display an item reflecting a keyword related to traffic on the map. .

Here, each item may be displayed at a location associated with that item on the map. For example, the controller 140 may be at least one of, for example, the navigation 10. Here, as shown in, the item reflecting the position or the item reflecting the driving direction may be displayed on the position or the driving direction, respectively. Similarly, an item that reflects the traffic situation may be displayed on the location where the traffic condition occurred.

The navigation device 10 may change the interface displayed according to the driving state of the vehicle (S430). This step will be described with reference to FIGS. 28, 29, 30, and 31. FIG. 28 is a diagram of a change in the type of an interface of a first embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention, and FIG. 29 is a diagram of a change in the form of an interface of a first embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention; 30 is a first diagram regarding the change of the size of the interface of the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention, and FIG. 31 is the size of the interface of the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention. A second drawing of the change.

The controller 140 may change and display the interface displayed according to the driving state. Here, the method of changing the displayed interface may vary.

For example, the controller 140 may change the type of the displayed interface.

As illustrated in FIG. 28, the controller 140 may display a virtual keyboard through a display when the vehicle is stopped, and an interface for providing an item when the vehicle starts driving. In contrast, the controller 140 may display an interface for providing an item when the vehicle is driving and control the display to display a virtual keyboard when the vehicle is stopped.

Similarly, the controller 140 may control the display to display a virtual keyboard when the traveling speed is less than or equal to the predetermined speed, and display an interface for providing an item when the traveling speed is less than or equal to the predetermined speed.

For another example, the controller 140 may change the form of the displayed interface.

As shown in FIG. 29, the controller 140 displays a virtual keyboard having many keyboards, for example, a QWERT keyboard when the vehicle is stopped, and a virtual keyboard having fewer keyboards when the vehicle is driven. For example, the display may be controlled to display a keyboard, a keyboard, or the like.

Similarly, the controller 140 may control the display to display a virtual keyboard with many keyboards when the traveling speed is less than or equal to the predetermined speed, and display a virtual keyboard with fewer keyboards when the traveling speed is greater than or equal to the predetermined speed.

For another example, the controller 140 may change the size of the displayed interface.

As shown in FIG. 30, the controller 140 may change the size of the virtual keyboard according to at least one of driving of the vehicle and driving speed. That is, when the vehicle is stopped or when the traveling speed of the vehicle is less than the predetermined speed, the virtual keyboard is displayed in a small size. When the vehicle is traveling or when the running speed of the vehicle is more than the predetermined speed, the virtual keyboard is displayed in a large size. The display can be controlled to display.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 31, the controller 140 may adjust the size of the interface for providing the item according to at least one of whether the vehicle is traveling and the driving speed. In detail, the controller 140 may adjust the size of each displayed item.

That is, the controller 140 may display the item small while the vehicle is stopped and display the item large while the vehicle is driving. Alternatively, the controller 140 may display the item small when the speed of the vehicle is less than or equal to the predetermined speed, and display the item large when the speed of the vehicle is higher than the predetermined speed. Alternatively, the controller 140 may display the item larger as the speed of the vehicle increases, and display the item smaller as the speed of the vehicle decreases.

On the other hand, the controller 140 may adjust the interface in consideration of whether or not the passenger is riding. When there is no passenger, the user of the navigation device 10 becomes a driver, and thus provides a simple interface for safe driving of the vehicle.However, when the passenger is on board, the passenger can input user contents. It may not be meaningful to provide.

Accordingly, the controller 140 may be configured to drive the interface provided when the vehicle is stopped or when the speed of the vehicle is less than or equal to the predetermined speed, or when the speed of the vehicle becomes more than the predetermined speed. You may not change it.

The controller may change the interface based on various information in addition to the traveling speed. For example, the controller may determine whether the user is walking or driving a vehicle, and change the interface depending on whether the user is walking or driving the vehicle.

The controller may determine whether the user walks or drives the vehicle through various methods.

For example, the controller may detect the movement of the electronic device through the detector and determine whether the user walks or drives the vehicle based on the detected movement. In other words, the sensing unit detects the moving speed, and the control unit may determine that the detected walking speed is less than or equal to a predetermined speed, and that the vehicle is driven when the sensing speed is greater than or equal to the predetermined speed.

As another example, the sensing unit may determine a posture of the electronic device using a gyro sensor, and determine whether the user walks or drives according to the determined posture. In general, when the electronic device is mounted in a vehicle, the electronic device is mounted to have a specific posture and fixed to the posture. Therefore, if the electronic device is fixed to the specific posture, the controller determines that the user drives the vehicle. It can be judged as walking.

For another example, the controller acquires the location information through the communication unit, determines a place corresponding to the location information through the map data stored in the storage unit, and whether the user walks or drives the vehicle according to the determined place. Can be determined. The controller determines to walk when the location according to the location information is not accessible by walking, inside the building or other vehicles, and the location according to the location information is not accessible by roads, parking lots or other pedestrians. In this case, it may be determined that the vehicle is driven.

For another example, the controller may receive an input of whether the user walks or drives from the user through the input unit.

In another example, when the electronic device is generally mounted on a vehicle, the electronic device is mounted using a predetermined mounting means, and the controller acquires a signal regarding the predetermined mounting means and whether the electronic device is mounted, and according to the signal, the electronic device is mounted. If it is connected to the mounting means to drive, otherwise it may be determined to walk.

The controller may select one of the pedestrian mode and the vehicle mode according to the determined result. In addition, the controller may change an interface for inputting user content according to the selected mode.

The method of changing the interface may be the same as or similar to the method of changing the interface according to the driving state described above. For example, the controller may change the interface depending on whether the vehicle is in the pedestrian mode or the vehicle mode, similar to whether the interface is changed depending on whether the driving speed is greater than or equal to the predetermined speed.

Alternatively, when the control unit provides an interface including at least one item, the vehicle mode may provide an item similar to the above-described item in the vehicle mode, whereas in the pedestrian mode, the traffic situation may be of interest to the pedestrian. It will be possible to provide more items for.

The navigation device 10 may generate user content according to a user's input through the displayed interface (S440). This step will be described with reference to FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating generation of user content according to the first embodiment of a method for inputting user content according to the present invention.

The controller 140 may generate user content according to a user's input through the displayed interface.

The input unit 120 may receive an input from a user through the displayed interface. The controller 140 may generate user content according to the user's input.

In this case, the input unit 120 may be a touch screen integrally implemented with the display. For example, the touch screen may display an interface for inputting user content and receive a touch input from the user.

For example, the touch screen displays a virtual keyboard, an interface for providing an item, or a combination thereof, as shown in FIG. 32, and receives a character from a user through a virtual keyboard or provides an item from an interface for providing an item. You can receive input to select. The controller 140 may generate user content by using the input text or a keyword reflected by the selected item.

In this case, the controller 140 may display the user content generated through the touch screen.

The navigation device 10 may acquire location information corresponding to user content (S450).

The controller 140 may obtain location information corresponding to the user content.

Here, the location information may reflect the location of the vehicle. For example, the location information may be information representing a location of the vehicle by coordinates. That is, the location information may include the longitude and latitude of the location where the vehicle is located. In this case, the location information does not necessarily directly reflect the location of the vehicle. For example, as will be described later, the navigation device 10 may calculate the location of the vehicle using the GNSS signal, where the information itself contained in the GNSS signal may be comprehensively included in the location information.

The controller 140 may obtain location information in various ways.

For example, the communication unit 110 may receive a plurality of GNSS signals from the satellite, and the control unit 140 may calculate the position according to the GNSS signal. Here, some or all of the calculation of the position using the GNSS signal may be performed by the external device.

For another example, the communication unit 110 may communicate with a plurality of mobile phone base stations, and the control unit 140 may triangulate according to a communication signal with the mobile phone base station to obtain location information.

For another example, the communication unit 110 may communicate with an external access point (AP) through a local area network, and the controller 140 may obtain location information using the location of the access point.

On the other hand, the controller 140 may correct the position information thus obtained by using a map matching technique.

The controller 140 may identify a place corresponding to the acquired location information by using map data stored in the storage 150. In this case, when the place corresponding to the location information is a place where the vehicle cannot enter, the controller 140 may correct the location information to the location of the road nearby. In detail, when a place corresponding to the position information acquired by the controller 140 is on the water surface, the position may be corrected to a position corresponding to the road near the water surface with respect to the vehicle driving the road along the river.

The controller 140 may continuously acquire such location information while the vehicle is in operation. The controller 140 may obtain location information at regular time intervals while the vehicle is running.

Alternatively, the controller 140 may obtain location information while generating user content. For example, location information may be acquired at a time point when a signal for requesting an interface for inputting user content is input and a time point for transmitting user content to be described later.

The navigation device 10 may associate user content with location information (S460).

The controller 140 may associate the user content with the location information. The controller 140 may associate the user content with location information corresponding to the user content. For example, the controller 140 may include location information while generating the user content at a specific location of the data of the user content. For another example, the controller 140 may link data of user content and data of location information with each other. For another example, the controller 140 may assign identifiers for distinguishing them from other user content and other location information to the data of the user content and the data of the location information, respectively.

Meanwhile, the location information associated with the user content may be one or plural.

The navigation device 10 may transmit at least one of user content and location information (S470).

The controller 140 may transmit the user content and the location information corresponding to the user content through the communication unit 110. The navigation device 10 may transmit at least one of such user content and location information to various external devices.

For example, the navigation device 10 may transmit user content and location information to the server 200. The server 200 may transmit the user content to another navigation device 10 that requests traffic information about location information corresponding to the user content.

For another example, the navigation 10 may transmit at least one of user content and location information to the other navigation 10. Here, the other navigation 10 may be another navigation 10 requesting location information corresponding to the user content. In detail, the other navigation device 10 may be the navigation device 10 located near the location of the vehicle on which the navigation device 10 generating the user content is mounted. Alternatively, the other navigation 10 may be a navigation 10 in which the path guided by the other navigation 10 includes a location according to location information corresponding to user content.

According to the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention, the navigation 10 is appropriately changed the interface for the input of the user content displayed on the touch screen in accordance with the driving state of the vehicle, the user travels User content can be entered smoothly even during the process.

In particular, when the vehicle runs or travels faster than a certain speed, the user inputs the user content more easily even in such a situation by providing an interface for easily inputting the user content.

As a result, the user can concentrate on driving while inputting user content, thereby significantly reducing the risk of an accident due to input of the user content while driving.

In addition, according to the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention, by adjusting the interface displayed by the navigation 10 in consideration of whether the passenger further boarding, and provides a simple interface for safe operation when there is no passenger In the case of having a passenger, the user does not need to provide an unnecessarily simple interface, so that the user can efficiently input user content according to the situation.

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 33. 33 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 33, the second embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention acquires the driving state of the vehicle (S510), and limits the input of the user content through the touch screen according to the driving state of the vehicle. Step (S520), receiving the user content through the touch screen or the microphone 123 (S530), obtaining the location information (S540), associating the user content with the location information (S550) and the user content And transmitting at least one of the location information (S560).

Hereinafter, each step of the second embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention will be described. Here, obtaining the driving state of the vehicle (S510), obtaining the location information (S540), linking the user content and location information (S550), and transmitting at least one of the user content and location information ( S560 may be the same as or similar to that described above in the description of the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention.

The navigation device 10 may limit the input of the user content through the touch screen according to the driving state of the vehicle (S520).

The controller 140 may limit the input of user content through the touch screen according to the driving state of the vehicle.

For example, the controller 140 may receive a touch signal when the vehicle is stopped or the driving speed is less than or equal to a predetermined speed. On the contrary, when the vehicle is running or the driving speed is greater than or equal to the predetermined speed, The touch screen may be controlled to not receive a touch input.

Here, the controller 140 may limit all inputs through the touch screen or limit some inputs and allow other inputs. In detail, the controller 140 may not input a signal related to user content through the touch screen, and may allow other signals to be input.

Similarly, if the input unit 120 of the navigation device 10 is implemented including a physical manipulation key, the controller 140 may limit the input through the manipulation key. In this case, the controller 140 may not receive all of the inputs through the operation keys, or selectively limit the inputs through the operation keys. As described above, even at this time, the controller 140 may limit all of the inputs through the operation keys or select and limit some of them.

On the other hand, the controller 140 may further restrict the input of the user content through the touch screen in consideration of whether the passenger is riding in the vehicle. For example, even when the vehicle is driving or the traveling speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed, when a passenger rides in, the input through the touch screen may be allowed.

The navigation device 10 may receive user content through a touch screen or a microphone 123 (S530).

The controller 140 may receive the user content through an input means of which the input of the touch screen or the microphone 123 is not limited.

For example, when the input through the touch screen is limited, the navigation device 10 may receive user content through the microphone 123.

For another example, if the input through the touch screen is not limited, the navigation device 10 may receive user content through one of the touch screen and the microphone 123. In this case, the navigation device 10 may receive a signal for selecting one of the touch screen or the microphone 123 from the user and receive user content through a means selected by the user.

The controller 140 may receive user content through the touch screen (S531). The method in which the controller 140 receives the user content through the touch screen may be the same as or similar to that described above in the first embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention. However, if the input through the touch screen is restricted, it may not be possible for the user to input user content through the touch screen.

The controller 140 may receive user content through the microphone 123 (S532). If the input through the touch screen is restricted, the user will have to input user content only through the microphone 123.

The microphone 123 may receive a voice signal from a user. Here, the microphone 123 may include the microphone 123 directly included in the navigation 10, as well as an external microphone 123 that is wired or wirelessly connected to the navigation 10.

When the controller 140 receives a voice signal of the user through the microphone 123, the controller 140 may generate user content accordingly. In detail, the controller 140 may analyze the voice signal to determine phonemes and generate user content accordingly. Here, a general speech to text (STT) technique may be used. On the other hand, since the user content does not necessarily have a text form as described above, the voice signal itself or the voice data compressing the voice signal may be the user content.

As such, when user content is generated by recognizing a voice signal, there may be a case where user content different from the intention of the user is generated due to an error of voice recognition. To compensate for this, the controller 140 may use an item that reflects a keyword related to traffic stored in the storage 150 when generating a user content by recognizing a voice signal.

In detail, the controller 140 obtains driving information of the vehicle, selects an item corresponding to the driving information of the vehicle from among a plurality of items stored in the storage 150 based on the driving information of the vehicle, as a candidate item, and generates a voice. When generating a word by recognizing the signal, the user content may be generated by first matching the keyword reflected by the selected candidate item.

As described above, in recognizing the voice signal, the controller 140 may generate the user content corresponding to the voice signal more accurately and quickly by first comparing the keywords reflected by the limited number of candidate items.

According to the second embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention, the navigation 10 restricts the input of the user content through the touch screen according to the driving state of the vehicle so that the user content can be accessed through the touch screen while the user is driving. By not allowing input, the risk of an accident can be reduced.

In addition, when the input through the touch screen is limited, the navigation device 10 receives a voice signal through the microphone 123 to generate user content, thereby receiving user content even while driving.

In this case, the navigation device 10 may recognize the user's voice more accurately and quickly by recognizing the voice signal in consideration of the driving state.

Hereinafter, a third embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 34. 34 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of a user content input method according to the present invention.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 35, the user content may take the form of a specific communication situation K4 according to a specific event K3 related to traffic from a specific place K1 to a specific direction K2.

The controller 140 is a keyword for identifying a position based on the position among the driving information, a keyword related to the driving direction according to the position and the moving direction, a keyword relating to the traffic situation according to the speed of the vehicle, the operation state and other driving information. Each of them may be generated and a combination thereof may be used to generate user content.

When the controller 140 automatically generates user content, the controller 140 does not necessarily need to generate only one user content, but may generate a plurality of user content. For example, when there are a plurality of driving directions that can be moved from the current location, the controller 140 may generate a plurality of combined user contents by varying the driving directions, respectively.

Meanwhile, the user content is not necessarily limited to the text form, but may also be an image form including the driving image.

The navigation device 10 may transmit at least one of user content and location information (S650). This step will be described with reference to FIGS. 36 and 37. 35 is a view related to identification of user content according to the third embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention, and FIG. 36 is a view related to identification of a plurality of user contents according to the third embodiment of the user content input method according to the present invention. to be.

This step may be the same as or similar to the constants in the description of the first and second embodiments of the user content input method according to the present invention.

However, the controller 140 may receive confirmation of transmission of the user content from the user before transmitting the user content. In particular, when the controller 140 automatically generates the user content, the controller 140 may transmit the user content when it is confirmed that the automatically generated user content is the user content intended by the user.

As illustrated in FIG. 36, the controller 140 may display user content automatically generated through a display. In this case, the controller 140 may output a question confirming transmission of user content on the display. If the user accepts the transmission, the communication unit 110 may transmit the automatically generated user content. On the other hand, if the user does not accept the transmission, the control unit 140 may provide an interface for manually modifying the user content.

As described above, the navigation device 10 may automatically generate a plurality of user contents. In this case, the controller 140 may display the plurality of user contents on the display. As illustrated in FIG. 37, the controller 140 may display a plurality of user contents T1, T2, and T3 generated through a display. In this case, the display may be implemented as a touch screen, and when the touch screen receives at least one user content selected from the user contents, the communication unit 110 may transmit the selected user content.
