Description

Navigation device and method for searching and displaying new address using this}

The present invention relates to a navigation device capable of guiding a destination easily and conveniently to a user even when a plurality of identical new addresses are searched, and a new address search and display method using the same.

In the past, Korea's address labeling system was based on the land numbering system for the purpose of deprivation and tax collection as a result of the land survey project for the whole country under the name of establishing a modernized land system after Japan-Japan merger.

Such land numbering method has caused a great inconvenience for people's life due to the lack of linkage between lands due to the rapid economic development and the diversification of land use due to the rapid increase in population, and also does not write the address on the buildings such as malls, buildings, and factories. As a result, social and economic problems such as the inconvenience of visiting and communicating, the difficulty in responding quickly to fire and crime, and the increase of logistics costs have been caused.

Therefore, the government has enacted legislation / enforcement decree / enforcement rules on the marking of road name addresses, etc. to solve the problems of the address number system that has been maintained for over 100 years, and to introduce the location information system suitable for the 21st century logistics and information age. The road system was constructed by assigning road names and building numbers to buildings.

This new addressing system will take effect from '07 .4.5, and will be used in parallel with the past addressing address until 2011 to prevent confusion with the existing addressing system.

The new address consists of the name of the municipality, metropolitan city, province, special self-governing province, name of city, county, autonomous district (including administrative city), name of life (representing non-autonomous district), name of town, town, street name, building number and detailed address. The name of the dong or apartment is referred to at the end of the address as a reference.

The user of the navigation device needs to enter a destination name in order to know the driving route to the destination, which often does not know the destination name exactly and only the address.

1 is a screen showing the same new address search results according to the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, when searching for a new address using a navigation device, the same new address is often found. For example, when searching for a destination by inputting a new address' 265, Dongseo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, five identical new addresses are searched.

In this case, the user is confused about which new address to select, and in order to go to the desired destination, the user must select an arbitrary new address. In this case, it may be difficult to reach the desired destination. This is especially true if the building is large.

The present invention devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, when searching for a new address using a navigation device, adds the name or identification code of the structure, such as the main building, an accessory building, a parking lot, etc. for the same new address To provide a navigation device that can easily find the desired destination and a new address search and display method using the same.

The object of the present invention is an input unit for receiving a new address to search for, a map data storage unit for storing map information, a new address data storage unit for storing the new address, information matching the new address and map information, and the like. Displaying the new address input from the input unit to the user, if there are a plurality of structures in the same new address display unit for displaying the identification code of the structure in addition to the new address and the new address data storage unit It is achieved by the navigation device, characterized in that it comprises a control unit for controlling the job to search for and output the results to the display.

Preferably, the input unit or the display unit includes a touch screen.

Preferably, the display unit further displays map data corresponding to the searched new address.

 Preferably, the input unit or the display unit is configured to receive detailed information about a plurality of structures existing at the same new address.

In addition, another object of the present invention is (A) receiving a new address of the destination from the input unit of the navigation device, (B) retrieving the new address data and map data corresponding to the received new address and (C) Displaying the received new address, and if a plurality of structures corresponding to the same new address are registered, displaying the identification code of each structure together with the new address on the display unit of the navigation device. This is accomplished by the new address search and display method used.

The method may further include, after step (C), selecting a final destination corresponding to the new address from the user through an input unit or a display unit of the navigation device.

In addition, after step (C), the method may further include a step (E) of receiving detailed information desired by the user in the new address information.

In addition, another object of the present invention is the step of receiving a new address of the destination from the input unit of the navigation device, searching the branch address address matching table to search for a POI corresponding to the new address received and the received new address If there is a POI in the corresponding address is achieved by the new address search and display room using the navigation device comprising the step of displaying the point name of the POI with the new address on the display unit of the navigation device.

Accordingly, the navigation device and the new address search and display method using the same of the present invention can improve user convenience by allowing a user to easily select a desired destination when a plurality of identical new addresses are searched.

The input unit 110 serves to receive a new address of the final destination that the user wants to reach, and inputs data through a keypad, a key input through a touch screen, or a handwritten input, as well as data stored in a mobile phone, a PDA, or the like using a wireless method. The method of receiving the transmission is possible.

The map data storage unit 120 may be two-dimensional (latitude and longitude) map data or three-dimensional map data including height, and additional information, such as a point of interest (POI) It may include information about the appearance of buildings, such as erected buildings.

The points of interest are the main facilities of stations, terminals, restaurants, hotels, etc. These points of interest are usually stored in coordinates on a map, and data related to these points of interest may be stored in a separate point of interest database unit (not shown).

The new address data storage unit 130 is a place for storing a new address, information matching the new address and map information, and the like. In particular, when a plurality of identical new addresses exist, the new address data storage unit 130 separately stores identification codes corresponding to the same new addresses. The identification code is a distinguishing character according to the characteristics of a structure such as a main building, an auxiliary building, a parking lot, etc. (in the present invention, the name of the building, such as a main building, an auxiliary building, etc. existing within the same new address) is used. It may be a separate identification code (eg, 'A123'). When storing a separate identification code, the feature or name of the structure should be stored separately.

Although the map data storage unit 120 and the new address data storage unit 130 are described as being in separate storage spaces, they may occupy a part of the same storage space.

In addition, the map data storage unit 120 or the new address data storage unit 130 may be present in a separate server (not shown) or in a navigation device mounted on a vehicle.

Meanwhile, the display unit 140 may be made of different hardware from the input unit 110 or may be made of the same hardware. In other words, the same hardware may function as a display unit or as an input unit.

The controller 150 searches for a new address input to the input unit 110 in the new address data storage 140 and outputs the map data corresponding to the received new address and the name of the structure through the display unit 140. And control a transmission / reception operation of various data.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, hardware such as a GPS receiver, a map data DB, a memory, a USB port, and a speaker for receiving location data from GPS satellites may be provided.

In addition, a route data storage unit (not shown) may exist to store the route on the map data from the starting point to the destination and show it on the map to the user.

The new address search and display method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: (A) receiving a new address of a destination from an input unit of a navigation device, searching for address data and map data corresponding to the received new address (B), and the Displaying the new address received, but if there are a plurality of structures corresponding to the same new address is registered (C) including the identification code of each structure along with the new address on the display of the navigation device.

Looking at this in more detail, first receives a new address of the desired destination from the input unit 110 of the navigation device (A). As a method of receiving a new address, a method of receiving data stored in a mobile phone, a PDA, etc., using a wireless method, as well as input through a keypad, a key input through a touch screen, or a handwritten input may be used.

Next, the new address data and map data corresponding to the received new address are searched from the new address data storage unit 120 and the map data storage unit 130 (B). This operation is performed through the control of the controller 150. .

Next, the data corresponding to the received new address is displayed on the display unit 140. When a plurality of structures corresponding to the same new address are registered, the identification code of each structure is displayed on the display unit of the navigation device together with the new address ( C).

3 (a) to 3 (c) show one embodiment when a plurality of identical new addresses are searched. For example, if you search '265 East-West-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si', a total of five identical new address data are searched.

In other words, to mark the main building as 'main building' (line 1 of FIG. 3 (a)), and the attached building so as to guide the 'building' (first line of FIG. 3 (b)) In addition, as shown in the first row, the second row, and the fourth row of FIG. 3 (c), the names of the structures, such as the number of identical apartments and the elderly court, can be displayed.

3 (a) to (c), although there is a row in which the identification code of each structure is not displayed at the same address, it is preferable to display a name corresponding to each structure in each row.

  On the other hand, after the step (C) it is preferable to include a step (D) of receiving a selection of the final destination corresponding to the new address from the user through the input unit or display unit of the navigation device, and if the user selects the final destination is optimal Or it guides the user through the shortest path.

The method may further include a step (E) of receiving detailed information desired by the user in the new address information selected by the user after the step (C).

For example, if there is no indication in the second row of FIG. 3 (a), but the area where the user clicked on the second row and selected and reached the final destination was the parking lot, the user clicks the second row or the second row. By clicking an icon (not shown) at the top of the row or by clicking a separate execution button, the user can directly enter a 'parking lot' and store it in the new address data storage.

In addition, in the first row of FIG. 3 (a), if it is marked as 'parking building' but the actual arrival result is 'parking lot', it is possible to correct the wrongly input data by the above method.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a new address search and display method according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the present embodiment shows the use of the above-described main building / subsidiary building display method when there are a plurality of corresponding POIs when a new address is searched.

In detail, first, when the new address of the destination is received through the input unit 110 of the navigation device of the present invention, the address number new address matching table matching the conventional address address and the new address through the operation of the control unit 150 of the navigation device. Search for.

If there is a POI in the corresponding address corresponding to the new address of the destination, if the POI exists in the corresponding address, the name of the point of the POI is displayed as a substitute for the 'main building / subbuilding'. In this case, the new address entered is displayed as it is.

For example, if you enter Anse Hospital (202, Dosan-daero, Seoul) as a new address, there are two POIs, such as Anse Hospital and Anse Hospital (Funeral Hall).

In this case, even if the new address name does not have a funeral hall, the display unit of the navigation device with the new address is replaced with the 'funeral hall' instead of the 'main building / accessories' described above by using the branch address addressing table and the POI branch name (funeral hall) (140). ) To make it easier for the user to navigate to the destination.

Although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments as described above, it is not limited to the above embodiments and those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Various changes and modifications will be possible.
