The network 100 may be implemented in various ways. For example, a network related to embodiments of the present invention may include a social network.

Hereinafter, a social network related to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a social network related to one embodiment of 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. At this point, all nodes are individual entities within the network, and a tie is the relationship between each node (the source is Wikipedia).

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

The first and second nodes A, 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 a 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 a 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 a 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. Can be.

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 the specific node is 'Southbound Ring Road', 'Star Tower', 'Gangnam Station', 'Yeouido', etc., the information networks 500 formed around the specific nodes may be different. In this case, the information networks 500 may not coincide with each other, but some of the other nodes included in one information network 100 may be included in the other information network 100. For example, assuming that the user A and the user B are included in the network 100 formed around the node called 'Southbound circulation road', the user A is located in the network 100 formed around the node called 'star tower'. And User C may be included. In other words, the user A node may be included in both the network formed around the southern circulation road and the network formed around the star tower.

At this time, the nodes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I), preferably, may have a position attribute corresponding thereto. For example, when the nodes are a specific location, a specific road specific building, etc., the location of the specific location, specific road, specific building, etc. may be a location attribute corresponding to the node, and the nodes are specific users or specific terminals. In this case, the current location of the specific terminal or the specific user may be a location attribute corresponding to the node.

In addition, the first node A may be classified into a static node and a dynamic node. The static node refers to a node whose location property corresponding to the specific location, a specific road, a specific building, and the like is not changed. The node refers to a node whose location property corresponding to the specific user or the specific electronic device may change over time.

In addition, although the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I all have a relationship, B, C, E, F, G, I Nodes are directly related to the first node A, but D and H nodes are indirectly related to the first node B (the line connecting the node and the node in the drawing is connected to the node). They have a direct relationship). For example, node D has a relationship with the first node A through node I or node G, and node H has a relationship with the first node A through node B or node F. have.

In this case, the B, C, E, F, G, I nodes are defined as having a primary relationship with the first node (A), the D, H nodes are secondary to the first node (A) Let's define that we have a relationship. Of course, although not shown in the figure, if there is no relationship with any of the B, C, E, F, G, I, but has a relationship with any one of the D, H nodes, such a node It may be defined that it has a tertiary relationship with the first node (A).

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I may be kept static. According to the positional relationship between the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, etc., it may be dynamically changed. In other words, when the user B (second node) sets the reverse three-zone (first node) as the region of interest, a predetermined relationship may be formed between the first node and the second node by the intention of the user B. On the contrary, when the terminal of the user C (second node) is within a certain range of the Gangnam station (first node), the user C naturally connects to the Gangnam station (second node) regardless of the user C's intention. Can be formed.

According to other embodiments of 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, A relationship can be established between the first node and the second node. In other words, if user D is not currently located on the southern ring road, but is watching a news at home, and encounters a traffic jam due to a fire on some section of the southern ring road, he is at home on the southern ring road ab. When information is generated and uploaded due to a section fire due to section congestion, a relationship with a southern circulation road (first node) may be formed due to a specific keyword of 'Southbound 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 the 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. For example, when the first terminal 300 generates user content with respect to the first node and transmits the user content to the server 200, the second terminal 400 having a relationship with the first node may be configured as the first node 300. The user content generated in the first terminal 300 may be obtained from the server 200.

However, the idea of the present invention is not limited to the communication of various electronic devices through a social network.

You can search for information. 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 depending on the contents 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 performs a function of transmitting predetermined information to the second terminal 400 with reference to the dynamic information group. When the information transmitting module 226 transmits the information to the second terminal 400, the reference amount is determined based on a predetermined amount of information (information included in the dynamic information group) to be transmitted to the second terminal 400. When exceeding, 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 user content by interaction of a first terminal and a server under the above-described system environment will be described. For convenience of description, 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, the specific electronic devices will also be described with reference to FIG. 4. do. 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 device 10.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an information acquisition method according to embodiments of the present invention.

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

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

The navigation device 10 and 300 may acquire location information (S110).

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

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.

Further, the navigation 10, 300 may further transmit at least one of user content generation time information, user content creator identifier, and user content generation terminal identifier corresponding to the user content to the server 200. Such information may be used as additional information to be described later.

The location information may be location information calculated before and after the time point at which the 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 the user content may be transmitted to the server 200. May be sent after

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

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 over time. Accordingly, the 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 when the driving image was acquired. When the navigation (10,300) is located at the D position at this point in time, 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 the C location, It can be a D position and an 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 that the visual information corresponds is the same as or similar to how 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, etc. 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 are each a specific road section to which the moving speed, the moving direction, and the location of the navigation 10, 300 of the navigation 10, 300 calculated while the user content is acquired, respectively. Can be.

For example, when the first terminal 300 is located in 'Yangjae Station', when the user of the first terminal 300 inputs information 'slowing from Yangjae Station to Gangnam Station', the user inputs the information. Along with the information, the location information 'Yangjae station' may be transmitted to the server 200 together. 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 Station', or may be transmitted in the form of longitude coordinates and latitude coordinates obtained by the location data module 111.

In addition, when the first terminal 300 transmits the information to the server 200, the first terminal 300 may transmit direction information related to the obtained information. The direction information may reflect the direction that the first terminal 300 is in progress when the information is obtained 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 through the microphone 123 of the first terminal 300 toward 'Gangnam Station from Yangjae Station'. When the upbringing of 'communication seamless' 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 a 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. Alternatively, the speed information may be directly obtained from a vehicle in which the navigation 10 and 300 are installed. For example, speed information of the vehicle may be obtained from an engine control unit (ECU) installed in the vehicle.

The direction information may be calculated by a 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 a plurality of location information obtained as described above. For example, when the 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 the 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 'Gwacheon-dong communication in Yangjae-daero' through the first terminal 300, the first terminal 300 receives location information and / or direction information from information input by the user. Can be extracted. 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 a location attribute assigned to a node related to 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 the 'Gangnam Station', and the 'crossroad signal failure' for the node named 'Gangnam Station'. In this case, the inputted information may be transmitted to the server 200 together with the corresponding Gangnam station. If direction attributes are also assigned to the first node, direction information reflecting the direction attributes 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, and may be transmitted together while the user content is transmitted to the server 200. The user content may be transmitted after being transmitted to the server 200.

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the navigation (10,300) in transmitting the user content and location information to the server 200, the user content generation time information corresponding to the user content, user content creator identifier, At least one of the user content generation terminal identifier may be transmitted. That is, the navigation 10 and 300 may not transmit at least one of speed information, direction information, and section information to the server 200.

In this case, the above-described speed information, direction information, section information, etc. may 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 the 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 the direction information, location information or section information from user content received from the navigation 10, 300.

Alternatively, the server 200 may obtain the location information from the location attribute assigned to the node associated with the 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 a method of operating a server according to embodiments of the present invention.

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

As described above, the server 200 may obtain user content generated by the first terminal 300 and location information corresponding to the user content. Furthermore, the server 200 may further obtain at least one of user content generation time information, user content creator identification name, user content generation terminal identifier, movement direction information, section information, and speed information from the first terminal 300. Can be.

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

Meanwhile, when the section information, the moving direction information, and the speed information are not provided from the first terminals 10 and 300, the server 200 may directly calculate the location information based on the location information in the above-described manner. In addition, the server 200 may store the calculated result in the database corresponding to the user content.

In addition, 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 user wants to transmit traffic related information to the navigation device 10, the server 200 may determine whether the received information includes traffic related information, and does not include traffic related information. If determined, the received information may 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 a database by mapping it to map data for navigation. The server 200 may map the received information to map data using location information and / or section information corresponding to the user content.

In this case, when the location information obtained from the first terminal 300 is located in an area where the vehicle cannot enter, for example, in a lake, the server 200 obtains the location that is obtained as the nearest location where the vehicle can travel. You can map the map by modifying 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 ring road, southern ring 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.

Furthermore, 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.

The server 200 may add evaluation information to the information and store the evaluation information 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.

There may be a wide variety of ways of providing evaluation information to the information. 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.

On the other hand, the server 200 may discard the information after a predetermined time 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, the navigation 10 may 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 a location and a direction, the server 200 may include first terminals corresponding to the location and direction (for example, a first pass through the location in the direction). Information transmitted from the terminals) can be selected.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one or more dynamic information groups are selected from a plurality of pieces of information stored in a server or from a plurality of pieces of information accessible through the social network 100. Can be. 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 below.

In consideration of the received condition, the server 200 selects some of the collected information and transmits it to the second terminal (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 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 the driving image acquired by the first terminal 300 while driving the vehicle is photographed, the server 200 receives / stores the captured image and meets the condition in which the driving image is received. In this case, the video may be transmitted to the second terminal 400 without any additional processing.

In contrast, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 stores the information obtained by the first terminal 300 and processes the information before transmitting the information to the second terminal 400. After that, the processed information may be transmitted to the second terminal 400. Methods of processing information can vary.

For example, in transmitting the user content to the second terminal 400, the server 200 may further include additional information about the user content. Such additional information includes user content generation time information, identification information of a user content creator, a moving direction of a user content generating terminal, location information of a user content generating terminal, moving speed information of a user content generating terminal, and section information in which user content is generated. It may include at least one of.

As described above, some of the additional information may be obtained by the server 200 from the first terminal 300, and another part of the additional information may be obtained from the information obtained from the first terminal 300. It may be generated by the server 200 based on.

As such, according to embodiments of the present invention, the server 200 may collect various user contents from the social network 100 formed by various relationships, and from among the information, from the second terminal 400 In consideration of the received condition information, after selecting some information, it is possible to provide only the necessary information to the second terminal 400 by transmitting the selected information to the second terminal (400). In addition, by transmitting the additional information corresponding to the user content, the second terminal 400 is richer information.

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 at the second terminal 400 will be described. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, it will be described on the assumption that the second terminal 400 is implemented by the above-described navigation 10.

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

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

The event may vary. The event may be related to routing, 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. That is, an event may be a case where the current position of the navigation 10, 400 is changed, and even if the current position of the navigation 10, 400 is not changed, an elapse of time may be an event.

If an event occurs, condition information may be generated (S310).

The condition information may be related to a location, first location information related to a current location of the navigation 10, 400, second location information related to a location on a route to a destination set in the navigation 10, 400, and user interest. It may include at least one of the third location information associated with the location.

In relation to the first location condition, when the navigation (10, 400) is located at the first location, the location information for the first location becomes the condition information, and the navigation (10, 400) is the second location When located at, position information on the second position may be condition information.

In addition, in relation to the second location condition, the navigation 10 and 400 may be generated as condition information based on a current position and a destination position of the navigation 10 and 400. .

In addition, in relation to the third location condition, the navigation 10 and 400 may generate location information of the location of interest received from the user as condition information.

The navigation 10 and 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, if a user is driving a Tehran road using a vehicle equipped with a navigation system 10 and wants to know traffic related information near Yangjae Station, enter 'Yangjae Station' in the input window IW and input a specific function. When the key FK is selected, the category information including the Yangjae region may be generated.

There may also be various ways a user can enter a location. For example, if the user wants to know information about restaurants in the vicinity while driving, the restaurant can be touched. Accordingly, the navigation device 10 can receive and display information about the restaurant.

In addition, the navigation device 10 and 400 may generate condition information based on not only the current position of the navigation device 10 and 400 but also information about a moving direction of the navigation device 10 and 400.

The condition information may be based on a first direction condition based on a moving direction of the navigation device 10 and 400, a second direction condition based on a set route to a destination, and a user's moving direction with respect to a direction. It may include at least one of the third direction conditions.

The first direction condition refers to a direction in which the navigation (10, 400) moves, the navigation (10, 400) is a movement of the navigation (10, 400) using a position change over time or geomagnetic sensor, etc. You can create directional conditions. In addition, the method of obtaining the moving direction by the navigation 10 and 400 may be the same as the method of calculating the moving direction by the user content generation terminal 300 described above, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The second direction condition is condition information generated based on a path set by the user in the navigation 10 and 400.

In addition, the third direction condition refers to a direction in which the navigation 10, 400 is input from the user, and the navigation 10, 400 may generate condition information based on the direction received from the user.

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 time information, specific user information, specific terminal information, etc. in addition to the location information and the direction information. It may be determined by the type of the event.

According to the above-described method, the navigation 10 and 400 may configure condition information.

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

The server 200 may configure a dynamic information group to transmit information corresponding to the condition information to the navigation 10, 400.

Hereinafter, how to generate a dynamic information group to be transmitted to the navigation device 10 or 400 based on the condition information acquired by the server 200 will be described in detail.

9 to 11 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a dynamic information group related to embodiments of the present invention.

It has already been described that the information collected through the network 100 (for example, the information generated by the first terminal 300) may be mapped and stored on map data based on location information corresponding thereto. A, B, C, D, E, F shown in FIG. 9 indicate the roads shown in FIG. 9, and a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i are shown in FIG. Is to mark each intersection. In addition, the points shown in FIG. 9 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.

As described above with reference to step S310 of FIG. 8, the server 200 is the condition information generated by the navigation 10, 400, information on the current position of the navigation 10, 400, and the navigation 10, 400. At least one of information about a current location to a destination and information about a user's location of interest may be obtained.

For example, a case in which the server 200 receives information on the current position of the navigation device 10 or 400 from the navigation device 10 or 400 as condition information will be described first.

If the server 200 receives location information corresponding to the e intersection, which is the current location of the navigation 10, 400, from the navigation 10, 400, as shown in FIG. 10, in the e intersection. Within a specific radius, the dynamic information area DA1 may be set, and information mapped in the dynamic information area DA1 may be configured as a dynamic information group.

Prior to this, when the location information acquired by the server 200 from the navigation 10, 400 corresponds to an EP point (see FIG. 9) in which the vehicle cannot travel, the server 200 based on the EP point. The map matching may be performed to a location where the vehicle may travel. That is, the server 200 may recognize the current position of the navigation system 10 and 400 by modifying it in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 9 at the EP point.

In addition, the dynamic information area DA1 shown in FIG. 10 has a circular shape around the positional information on the e intersection. However, the dynamic information area DA1 is not limited to a circle, but may have various shapes, ellipses, cones, and the like.

In addition, the server 200, along with the position information corresponding to the e-intersection that is the current position of the navigation (10, 400) from the navigation (10, 400), for example, the movement direction information of the navigation (10, 400) In addition, the navigation apparatus 10 and 400 may generate a dynamic information group based on information about which direction the b, d, f, and h intersections are directed at the e intersection.

In this case, the movement direction information of the navigation 10, 400 may be calculated by the server 200, or may be calculated by the navigation 10, 400 and transmitted to the server 200.

In addition, it is assumed that the navigation (10, 400) is moving in the direction of the b intersection at the e intersection for the convenience of explanation.

In this case, the server 200 may determine whether the user content corresponding to the direction of the b intersection in the e intersection is stored in the database based on the movement direction information of the user content stored in the database of the server 200. Accordingly, the server 200 may read user content corresponding to the movement direction information indicating movement in the direction of the e intersection and the b intersection, which are the current positions of the navigation systems 10 and 400, from the database to form a dynamic information group.

As described above, when the navigation information is based on the movement direction information of the navigation devices 10 and 400, the dynamic information area DA1 may have a cone shape in which a vertex points toward the movement direction.

Meanwhile, the server 200 may receive a path from the navigation 10 and 400 to the destination as condition information. For convenience of description, as shown in FIG. 11, the path to the destination is a P path, and the navigation devices 10 and 400 are located at an intersection.

In this case, the server 200 may be configured on the P path, the information having a direction that matches the direction of the path into a dynamic information group (DA2, DA3, DA4, DA5).

In this case, 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 path of the second terminal 400. have. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, when the navigation device 10 is located at C, the dynamic information group (the closest to the current position C) among all the dynamic information groups DA2, DA3, DA4, and DA5 ( 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.

The server 200 obtains a user location of interest from the navigation (10, 400) to generate a dynamic information group. The server 200 described above from the navigation (10, 400) of the navigation (10, 400) Since the method is the same as the method of generating the dynamic information group by acquiring the current position of), description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the server 200 may transmit additional information about each user content included in the dynamic information group in transmitting the dynamic information groups to the navigation 10 and 400.

The additional information may include an image of the creator of the user content, location information (eg, a road name, a road section) of the generation terminal when the user content is generated, movement direction information of the generation terminal when the user content is generated, and the user. And at least one of a position at which content is generated and a relative position (eg, direction, distance) of a receiving terminal, a generation time of the user content, and a moving speed of the generating terminal at the time of generating the user content.

The additional information may be generated based on information obtained by the server 200 from the user content generation terminal 300.

Through this, the navigation 10, 400 receives the additional information together with the user content, and outputs the additional information together with the user content, thereby providing more rich information to the user of the navigation 10, 400. Can be.

Referring back to FIG. 8, the navigation 10 and 400 may output user content obtained from the server 200 [S340]. Hereinafter, the output step S340 of the navigation 10 and 400 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 12.

12 is a view for explaining a display characteristic change according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The outputting step according to an embodiment of the present invention may include obtaining a predetermined event (S400), and changing the display characteristic of the user content window (S410) as the predetermined event is obtained. Through this, the navigation 10 and 400 may output the obtained user content in a user-centric manner. Each step will be described in more detail below. Hereinafter, for convenience, the user content window may be referred to as a content window for short.

The navigation 10 and 400 may obtain a predetermined event [S400].

Prior to the step S400, the navigation (10, 400) may output the obtained user content. For example, the navigation 10, 400 may show a user content window (shown in FIG. 13 (b)) that includes the obtained user content.

An example of outputting user content acquired by the navigation 10 and 400 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 13.

13 illustrates an example of a user content window according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 13A, the navigation 10 and 400 may output map information.

More specifically, the navigation device 10 and 400 may output an object (hereinafter referred to as a location object) that reflects the current location of the navigation device 10 and 400 on the map information.

In addition, the location object may indicate a direction in which the navigation 10, 400 moves. For example, a portion of the location object may indicate a moving direction of the navigation 10, 400.

Furthermore, when the user sets a destination, the navigation 10 and 400 may display a route on the map information in order for the navigation 10 and 400 to reach the destination from the current location.

The navigation 10 and 400 may output the obtained user content as the user content is acquired in operation S330 of FIG. 8.

For example, the navigation 10, 400 may output a user content window W including at least one user content obtained as shown in FIG. 13B. That is, the navigation 10 and 400 may provide real-time user content to the user through the user content window W.

As shown in FIG. 13 (b), the user content included in the user content window W includes the above-described additional information, for example, an identification name of the user content creator, an image of the user content creator, and movement in generating user content. Speed, a moving direction in generating user content, and a user content generation time. Although not shown in FIG. 13B, the user content included in the user content window W is additional information, for example, at least one of a road section, a road name, and location information when the user content is generated. It may further include one.

As the user content window W includes additional information together with the user content, the driver can acquire information related to the user content more three-dimensionally.

Meanwhile, the navigation 10 and 400 may overlap the user content window W in at least a portion of the map information and output the overlapped content. In other words, the navigation 10 and 400 may output the user content window W in a picture in picture (PIP) manner. That is, the map information becomes the parent screen, and the user content window W superimposed on the map information becomes the PIP.

Alternatively, the navigation 10 and 400 may display map information in the map information area and label the user content window W in a user content window area separate from the map information area.

Thus, the user may be provided with the necessary information in real time through the map information and the user content window (W) output to the navigation (10, 400).

Hereinafter, a case in which the navigation 10, 400 outputs the user content window W in at least a partial region of the map information is output.

Referring back to FIG. 12, the navigation 10 and 400 may obtain a predetermined event in a situation in which the user content window W is output.

The predetermined event may vary.

For example, the predetermined event, 1) the expected movement route of the navigation (10, 400) (e.g., a route to pass through when moving in the current movement direction, a route set up to a destination) is the map information and the user content. When the window W is located in the overlapped area, 2) when the map information and the user content window are mapped to a specific location in the overlapped area, tag information is output, and 3) when a predetermined input is obtained. May be included. A detailed description of each predetermined event will be described later.

When the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 acquires the predetermined event, the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 may change and display a display characteristic of the user content window W [S410].

That is, the navigation 10 and 400 may control and output display characteristics of the user content window W when the predetermined event is obtained.

Herein, the display characteristic refers to various methods related to the output of the user content window W, and the display characteristic is, for example, at least one of an output position, transparency, an output area, and an output method of the user content window W. It may include. Detailed description of each will be described later.

A method of controlling display characteristics according to each of the predetermined event and the predetermined event will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the display characteristic control according to the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 14.

14 is a view for explaining display characteristic control according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

The predetermined event in the first embodiment to be described below with reference to FIG. 14 includes an expected movement route (eg, a route to be routed when moving in the current movement direction, a route set to a destination) of the navigation 10 and 400. It relates to a case where the map information and the user content window (W) are located in an overlapped area.

As described above, the navigation 10, 400 may output the user content window W by overlapping at least a portion of the map information.

At this time, as shown in Figure 14 (a), the movement path (CR) and the facility (A) of the map information is overlapped by the user content window (W), the movement path and facilities of the overlapped area is It may be hidden by the user content window (W). In this case, the user cannot visually confirm the portion shown by the CR by the user content window (W).

In such a situation, the navigation 10, 400 has a predetermined movement route (eg, a route to be routed when moving in the current movement direction, a route set to a destination) of the navigation 10, 400. The case where the content window W is located in the overlapped area may be recognized as a predetermined event (corresponding to step S400 of FIG. 12), and the display characteristics of the user content window W may be controlled and output (FIG. 12). Step S410).

Hereinafter, the meaning of the predetermined movement route will be described in detail.

The predetermined movement route may include at least one of a route to be routed when moving in the current movement direction and a route set to a destination.

For example, when the navigation system 10 or 400 has only one driving road as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the navigation system 10 and 400 may pass through the vehicle in the current moving direction. It may be determined that a route (for example, a route illustrated as a CR) is in an area where the user content window W and the map information overlap.

In another example, the navigation 10 and 400 may receive a destination from a user and provide a guidance path to the destination based on the received destination. In this case, the navigation apparatus 10 and 400 may determine that a route set as a destination is in an area where the user content window W and the map information overlap.

As a result, the navigation device 10 or 400 may acquire information about whether the navigation path of the navigation device 10 or 400 is located in an area where the map information and the user content window W overlap each other.

In addition, the navigation 10, 400 may determine when the navigation 10, 400 enters an area where the user content window W overlaps on the map information.

In other words, the navigation 10, 400 is an object representing the current location of the navigation 10, 400, that is, a distance d (see FIG. 14) between the location object and the output user content window W is a predetermined distance. In the following case, the display characteristics of the user content window W may be controlled and output.

That is, in the map information, when the distance between the location object and the output user content window (W) is within a predetermined distance, the user typically wants to check the information of the area covered by the user content window (W). It may be the situation. In this case, the navigation (10, 400) automatically controls the display characteristics of the user content window (W), thereby allowing the user to visually check the area covered by the user content window (W) in a timely manner. .

To this end, the navigation 10 and 400 may determine the remaining distance to the area where the user content window W overlaps on the map information based on the current location of the navigation 10 and 400.

 For example, the navigation 10, 400 may obtain current location information of the navigation 10, 400. In addition, when the navigation 10, 400 moves along the path from the current location to the moving path or the destination, the location information of the overlapped area may be acquired by the user content window W which is reached. As a result, the navigation device 10 and 400 may obtain information about how far the distance object is from the user content window W.

Therefore, the navigation 10, 400 obtains information on the current position of the navigation 10, 400 and the distance to the boundary point where the user content window W overlaps on the map information, and within a predetermined distance. If so, the display characteristics of the user content window (W) can be changed.

In addition, the predetermined distance may be changed according to a user's setting. For example, the predetermined distance may be 1000 meters. Alternatively, the predetermined distance may be 0 meters.

In other words, when the distance between the location object and the user content window W is within 1000 meters, the navigation apparatus 10 and 400 may determine that the predetermined event has occurred.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the above-described predetermined event occurs, the navigation 10 and 400 may control and output the display characteristics of the user content window W in various ways.

For example, when it is determined that the predetermined event occurs, the navigation 10 and 400 may change the output position of the user content window W to control and output display characteristics.

Referring to FIG. 14B, when the navigation event 10 or 400 acquires a predetermined event according to the first embodiment, the navigation position of the user content window W may be changed to the illustrated position. .

As a result, the navigation device 10 and 400 may display the previously hidden area (CR of FIG. 14A) through the map information, and thus the driver may obtain necessary information while driving.

On the other hand, when the navigation (10, 400) is moved to the fp position shown in Figure 14 (b) as the navigation (10, 400), the navigation (10, 400) is the fp position and the user Of course, it may be determined that the distance of the content window W is less than or equal to the predetermined distance (predetermined event acquisition), and the output position of the user content window W may be changed again.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 14C, the navigation 10 and 400 may change the transparency of the user content window W when the predetermined event according to the first embodiment is obtained.

For example, when the predetermined event is acquired, the navigation 10 or 400 increases the transparency of the user content window W so that the map area covered by the user content window W is displayed. Can be.

Even in this case, since the navigation devices 10 and 400 can display the area covered by the area (CR of FIG. 14 (a)) covered by the map information, the driver can timely obtain necessary information while driving. .

In addition, although not shown, when the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 acquires a predetermined event according to the first embodiment, the navigation apparatus 10, 400 reduces the area where the map information is output, and the user content window in the generated area according to the reduction. (W) can be displayed (an example of changing the output area of the user content window W). In addition, the navigation 10 and 400 may display the user content window W by changing the user content window W to an object representing the user content window W (an example of changing the output method of the user content window W). ).

According to the exemplary embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 14, the navigation 10 and 400 may be a route set through an expected movement route of the navigation 10 and 400 (eg, when moving in the current movement direction and a destination). ) May be acquired as a predetermined event and control the display characteristics of the user content window W when the map information and the user content window W are located in an overlapped area.

Hereinafter, the display characteristic control according to the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 15.

15 is a view for explaining display characteristic control according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The predetermined event in the second embodiment to be described below with reference to FIG. 15 relates to a case where tag information is output by mapping to a specific position in an area where the map information and the user content window overlap.

As described above, the navigation 10, 400 may output the user content window W by overlapping at least a portion of the map information.

The navigation device 10 and 400 may output tag information TI that is mapped to a specific location of the map information.

For example, the navigation device 10 and 400 obtains tag information TI mapped to a specific location from the outside, and may map the tag information TI to a specific location on the map information.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 15A, the navigation 10 and 400 may output the tag information TI (eg, today's special discount) by mapping the facility A on the map information. have. However, in this case, since the tag information TI is hidden by the user content window W, the visibility is inferior.

Accordingly, the navigation 10, 400 obtains a case of outputting tag information mapped to a specific position in an area where the map information and the user content window overlap (as S400 of FIG. 12), and the The display characteristics of the user content window W may be controlled and output (corresponding to step S410 of FIG. 12).

To this end, the navigation (10, 400) obtains the tag information (TI), obtains the location information to which the acquired tag information (TI) is mapped, and the location where the acquired tag information (TI) is mapped to the In the map information, it may be determined whether the area is overlapped by the user content window (W).

In this case, when it is determined that the tag information TI is within an area overlapped by the user content window W, the navigation 10 and 400 determines that a predetermined event has occurred, and that the navigation information of the user content window W is determined. Display characteristics can be controlled.

For example, the navigation 10 and 400 may change the output position of the user content window W, as shown in FIG. 15 (b). As a result, the navigation 10 and 400 may display the tag information TI for the facility A on the map information.

In addition, although not illustrated, the navigation 10 and 400 may increase the transparency of the user content window W so that the tag information TI may be recognized by the user.

Although not illustrated, when the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 acquires the predetermined event according to the first embodiment, the navigation apparatus 10 and 400 reduces the area where the map information is output, and accordingly reduces the apparatus. The user content window W may be displayed in the generated area. In addition, the navigation 10 and 400 may change and display the user content window W as an object representing the user content window W.

On the other hand, when the navigation device 10 or 400 outputs the tag information TI for a predetermined time, after the predetermined time, the navigation characteristics of the user content window W may be restored.

For example, when the tag information TI is mapped to a specific position in an area overlapped by the user content window W, the navigation 10 and 400 may display an output position of the user content window W. When the output time of the tag information TI is changed, the output position of the user content window W can be returned to the original position.

According to the above-described embodiment with reference to FIG. 15, the navigation 10, 400 has a specific location where the tag information TI is mapped in an area where the user content window W and the map information overlap. In this case, display characteristics of the user content window W may be controlled.

Hereinafter, the display characteristic control according to the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18.

16 to 18 are views for explaining display characteristic control according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

16 to 18, a third embodiment to be described below relates to a case where the predetermined event is a predetermined input.

The navigation device 10 and 400 may determine that a predetermined input is obtained as a predetermined event (corresponding to step S400 of FIG. 12), and control and output display characteristics of the user content window W (FIG. 12). Corresponds to step S410 of 12).

The predetermined input may vary. For example, the predetermined input may include various inputs such as a touch & drag and a flicking input. This will be referred to as stroke input, including touch & drag and flicking. Such stroke input may be input via a touch screen. Of course, it can also be input through the keypad (key pad).

Hereinafter, a case in which the navigation 10 and 400 acquires a stroke input as the predetermined input will be described.

Referring to FIG. 16, the navigation 10 and 400 may receive a stroke input from a user. For example, the navigation devices 10 and 400 may receive a stroke input on the output user content window W. FIG.

The navigation device 10 and 400 may determine the stroke input as acquiring a predetermined event, and control and output display characteristics of the user content window W. FIG.

For example, when the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 receives a stroke input in one of the directions ①, ②, ③, and ④ shown in FIG. 16 (a), the user content window W is input in the input stroke direction. By changing the position of), the display characteristics of the user content window W can be controlled and output.

In more detail, when the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 receives a stroke input in the ① direction, the navigation 10 and 400 may move the position of the user content window W in the ① direction and output the same.

On the other hand, the navigation (10, 400) may control the display characteristics of the user content window (W) according to the direction of the input stroke.

For example, the navigation 10 and 400 may control display characteristics of the user content window W when the input stroke direction is the first direction, the second direction, or the three directions. . In other words, when the input stroke direction is the first direction, the navigation 10, 400 performs the first display characteristic control, and when the input stroke direction is the second direction, performs the second display characteristic control. When the input stroke direction is the third direction, the third display characteristic control may be performed.

More specifically, when the direction of the acquired input is the first direction, the navigation 10 and 400 may change the output position of the user content window W as the first display characteristic control. For example, the navigation 10, 400 may change the output position of the user content window W in the direction of the obtained input.

For example, the first direction may refer to a direction in which the user content window W is accommodated, that is, the direction ① shown in FIG.

In addition, when the direction of the acquired input is the second direction, the navigation 10, 400 is a second display characteristic control, which reduces the area for outputting the map information and the user content in the newly generated area according to the reduction. You can output the window (W).

For example, the second direction may refer to a direction opposite to a direction in which the user content window W can be accommodated, that is, the direction ③ shown in FIG.

In addition, when the direction of the acquired input is the third direction, the navigation 10, 400 changes the user content window W to an object representing the user content window W as a third display characteristic control. You can print

For example, the third direction may refer to a receiving direction capable of accommodating the user content window W and a direction other than the receiving direction, that is, a direction ② or a direction ④ shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, each case will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18.

First, an embodiment of changing an output position of the user content window W as a first display characteristic control when the navigation 10, 400 acquires an input directed to the first direction will be described in detail. Shall be.

As described above, the first direction may refer to a direction in which the user content window W can be accommodated, i.e., a direction shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 16A, a direction in which the user content window W can be accommodated will be described in more detail.

As shown in FIG. 16A, the user content window W has a width of L and a height of H. As shown in FIG. In addition, the map information in the left region of the user content window W has a width of d1 and a height of k. At this time, d1 is larger than L and k is larger than H. Accordingly, when the user content window W is moved in the direction of 1, the user content window W may be accommodated in map information.

That is, the navigation (10, 400) recognizes the case of receiving a stroke input in the direction ① as a predetermined event, as shown in Figure 16 (b), the position of the user content window (W) in the direction ① By moving, the display characteristics of the user content window W can be controlled and output.

At this time, the navigation (10, 400) in moving the user content window (W) in the ① direction, the user content window (W) so that the remaining space (d3) in the direction opposite to the ① direction, that is, ③ direction remains You can move in the ① direction.

Hereinafter, when the direction of the input acquired by the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 is the second direction, as a second display characteristic control, an area for outputting the map information is reduced, and the user is reduced to a newly generated area according to the reduction. An embodiment of outputting the content window W will be described in detail.

As described above, the second direction may refer to a direction opposite to the direction in which the user content window W can be accommodated, that is, the direction ③ shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 17.

The navigation device 10 and 400 is a predetermined event, while outputting map information to the output area of FIG. 17A, when the input in the second direction is acquired, the output area is reduced to the reduced area shown. You can. In addition, as the output area is reduced, a new area, that is, a generation area, may be configured as shown in FIG. 17A.

Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 17B, the navigation 10 and 400 may display map information in the reduced area and the user content window W in the generation area.

On the other hand, the navigation (10, 400) in outputting the map information to the reduced area, it is possible to enlarge and output the map information.

Referring to FIG. 17C, the navigation 10 and 400 may enlarge and output the map information in the reduced area.

Thus, even when the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 displays the map information in the output area and displays the map information in the reduced area in which the output area is reduced, the map information is enlarged and displayed to the user. It can provide high visibility.

As shown in FIG. 17B, the navigation 10 and 400 display the map information in the reduced area as it is, or as shown in FIG. 17C, to enlarge or display the map information in the reduced area. It can be changed according to the setting of.

Hereinafter, when the navigation 10, 400 acquires an input directed in the third direction, the user content window W is changed to an object representing the user content window W as a third display characteristic control. Will be described in detail with respect to the embodiment.

As described above, the third direction may be a direction other than a direction in which the user content window W may be accommodated and a direction other than the direction opposite to the direction of reception, that is, the direction ② or direction ④ shown in FIG. I can speak.

In order to describe this embodiment in detail, reference is made to FIG. 18.

For example, the navigation devices 10 and 400 may receive a stroke input in a direction ② or ④ shown in FIG. 16A.

In this case, the navigation 10 and 400 regard the stroke input in the direction ② or the direction ④ as a predetermined event, and change the user content window W to an object representing the user content window W and output the same. Thus, display characteristics can be controlled and output.

Here, the object representing the user content window W refers to an execution icon for displaying user content included in the user content window W when the user selects an object representing the user content window W. Can mean. Hereinafter, the object representing the user content window W will be abbreviated as a user content window object.

More specifically, when the navigation (10, 400) receives a stroke input in the ② direction or ④ direction, as shown in Fig. 18 (a), the user content window (W) is changed to a user content window object Can be output.

Thus, the user can visually recognize the map information covered by the user content window (W). That is, it is possible to obtain geographic information about the road section of the map information covered by the user content window (W) and the facility (A).

In addition, when the user 10, 400 receives a user content window object from the user, the navigation device 10 or 400 may output the user content window W in an anchor manner.

In other words, when the user content window object is selected by the user, the navigation 10 and 400 may display the user content window W again as shown in FIG. 13 (b).

Meanwhile, when acquiring new user content while the user content window object is output, the navigation 10, 400 may change the user content window object into a user content window and output the same.

Referring to FIG. 18B, when the navigation device 10 and 400 receives new user content while outputting the user content window object, as illustrated in FIG. 18C, the new user content ( ex. User content window (W) including traffic accidents can be displayed.

In this way, the driver can immediately check the newly acquired user content, thereby quickly confirming the user content generated in real time.

According to the display characteristic control according to the third embodiment of the present invention described above, the navigation 10 and 400 may differently control the display characteristic according to the obtained direction of the input. In this way, the user may be provided with a richer user experience by simply calling the user interface desired by the user.

Hereinafter, the display characteristic control according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

19 is a diagram for describing display characteristic control according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 19A, the navigation devices 10 and 400 may display map information in a first predetermined area and a user content window W in a second predetermined area.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that the navigation 10, 400 superimposes the user content window W on the map information. However, the navigation 10, 400 is illustrated in FIG. 19. As shown in (a), the user content window W may be displayed in a region separate from the map information.

As another example, the navigation 10 and 400 may output the user content window W as illustrated in FIG. 19A according to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 17.

The navigation device 10 and 400 acquires a predetermined input as a predetermined event in a situation where the user content window W and the map information are displayed in different areas (corresponding to step S400 of FIG. 12). The display characteristics of the content window W can be changed (corresponding to step S410 of FIG. 12).

For example, the navigation 10 and 400 may be a predetermined event, and receive a stroke input to the user content window W. FIG.

In this case, the navigation 10 and 400 may control display characteristics of the user content window W according to the obtained direction of the input.

That is, the navigation 10, 400 performs a fourth display characteristic control when the input in the direction ① shown in FIG. 19A is performed, and the fifth display when the input in the direction ② is obtained. Property control can be performed.

Hereinafter, each display characteristic control will be described in detail.

First, the navigation 10 and 400 may obtain an input in the direction of ① toward the map information area in the user content window (W). In this case, the navigation 10 and 400 may perform the fourth display characteristic control.

When the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 acquires an input (for example, a direction) toward the map information area according to the fourth display characteristic control, as illustrated in FIG. 19B, map information is displayed. The first area in which is output may be enlarged and map information may be displayed in the enlarged area.

Here, the first area for displaying the map information may be enlarged to include a second area for displaying the user content window (W).

Therefore, the navigation 10, 400 may display map information in the enlarged first area, and the user content window W may be superimposed on the map information.

In this way, the user can more effectively use the limited display space of the navigation (10, 400).

On the other hand, as described above, the navigation (10, 400) may obtain an input (for example, ② direction) in a direction other than the direction toward the map information area in the user content window (W). In this case, the navigation 10 and 400 may perform the fifth display characteristic control.

For example, the navigation device 10 and 400 enlarges a first area in which map information is output and displays map information in the enlarged area as shown in FIG. 19C according to the fifth display characteristic control. can do. In addition, the navigation device 10 and 400 may change the user content window W into the user content window object and display it on the map information.

Meanwhile, when the navigation apparatus 10 or 400 acquires new user content while outputting a user content window object according to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 19 (c), the navigation apparatus 10 and 400 refers to FIG. 18 (b, c). Obviously, it can operate as in the above-described embodiment.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 19 (c), the user content window W is changed to a user content window object and outputted. The difference is that the output is overlaid on top of it.

Accordingly, the navigation 10 and 400 may differently control the display characteristics of the user content window W according to the direction of the input obtained in FIG. 19 (a).

Thus, according to the display characteristic control according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the user can configure a desired user interface (User Interface) in one-touch operation, thereby increasing user convenience.

The navigation devices 10 and 400 according to the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention may dynamically provide display characteristics of the user content window W according to whether a predetermined event is acquired. Therefore, the user can create a user interface optimized for the event situation.

The various embodiments disclosed in this document can be implemented individually or in combination with each other. Also, the steps constituting each embodiment may be performed in combination with the steps constituting another embodiment.

In addition, in the third embodiment of the present invention, when the input in the first direction is obtained, the first display characteristic control is performed, and when the input in the second direction is obtained, the second display characteristic control is performed. Next, when the input in the third direction is obtained, the third display characteristic control is performed.

In addition, the twelfth and third display characteristics control means moving the user content window W, changing the output area of the user content window W, and changing the output method of the user content window W, respectively. It became. However, since this is for convenience of description, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto.

That is, each display characteristic control may be more diverse. For example, the first display characteristic control may be to increase the transparency of the user content window W, unlike the movement of the user content window W. FIG.

In addition, the relationship between the direction and the display characteristic control can be configured more dynamically. For example, when an input in the second direction is obtained, the output position of the user content window W may be changed, not the second display characteristic control, that is, the output area of the user content window W is not changed. The user content window W may be output in a hidden mode.

In addition, in describing an embodiment of the present invention, when the server 200 obtains the condition information from the second terminal 400, the server 200 obtains user content corresponding to the obtained condition information from the second terminal 400. ).

In contrast, the server 200 sets the second terminal 400 as one node, and displays the user content generated in relation to the node to which the relation is associated with the second terminal 400. Can be sent to. For example, in the case where the first terminal 400 generates user content for a specific node, the Teheranro, the server 200 searches for the second terminal 400 having a relation with the Teheranro, and retrieves the searched second content. The user terminal 2 may push user content for the Teheranro.
