A computer program according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a data access library (170) class and six base classes as shown in FIG.

The base class includes a first class 110 for supporting path search development, a second class 120 for supporting map display development, a third class 130 for supporting GPS communication development, 4 class 140, a fifth class 150 that supports a search function, and a sixth class 160 that supports user interface development. Using the program according to the embodiment of the present invention, a developer can develop a desired application by utilizing an appropriate class according to a necessary function.

A data access library 170 is a class that manages various data used in all classes. The data access library according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for road or background reading, route calculation and guidance reading of a map, and may include a loading function of map data.

The Map API (Application Program Interface) provided by the conventional portal service is a method of applying a prepared function. On the other hand, the data access library 170 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides a function of including a navigation function in a basic map API, modularizing the library according to functions, and further writing a desired function by the developer himself.

This method is possible because the application program development system according to the embodiment of the present invention manages classes by layers to lower the degree of coupling with other classes so as not to affect other classes, Because it is encapsulated in proprietary technology and designed in a way that developers can create.

The first class 110 is a class that supports the path search function.

The first class can provide a basic route search function, i.e., a function of searching for a route from a departure point to a destination and guiding the route. Furthermore, it can provide route search option function such as recommendation route, shortest route, high-speed route, and free route providing function reflecting the real-time road traffic situation. Such a route search function can be provided separately for vehicles, for walking, and for public transportation.

The route search class is a technique for finding the optimal route from the origin to the destination considering the road state information. It is a class that provides a function to search various optional routes by fusing various information of the road data to the basic A * to be.

In addition to being able to be used as a path search class itself, the path search class inherits the path search class through object-oriented overriding (redefining class member functions) technique so as to apply each data and algorithm of each developer , It is designed as a structure that can override the path search member function and execute the developer's own algorithm. At this time, the data structure is designed to use a data access class so that the data structure designed by the developer can be used.

The developer can implement the optimal path search function with minimum time and cost by utilizing the functions provided directly by the path search class. In addition, inheritance allows developers to implement their own path discovery classes.

The second class can provide a function of displaying general map data as well as a function of processing events such as enlargement, reduction and movement of a map displayed according to user input. Furthermore, the second class can be used to display vehicle speed, satellite status, administrative name, flag, distance, and time, as well as displaying the start point and destination on the screen and displaying the route search result.

In addition, in the second class, an external call for user input and various map display is defined as an event, and a technique of managing the event using a queue structure and a thread is applied. By processing the map in a thread, the developer does not have to consider a separate development for the map display.

The map display class according to the embodiment of the present invention can transmit the map data and various UI corresponding images provided by the data access library to the developer and display the UI on the screen. At this time, the developer can add his or her own content before the screen display, and finally display the added state on the screen. In addition, various events related to the display of the user can be managed, so that the event can be continuously displayed.

According to this, the developer not only can shorten the development time to be included in the map display, but also has the effect of displaying the portion required by the developer himself.

The third class 130 is a class that supports the GPS communication function. The third class can provide GPS signal reception, GPS status via GPS serial communication, and coordinate extraction.

The GPS communication class is a general serial communication class that supports the NMEA format, which is a GPS data format. In contrast to the case where GPS processing is possible like a smart device, it does not directly communicate with GPS, Function.

The GPS communication class according to the embodiment of the present invention can directly obtain the corresponding position information by parsing the GPS communication class by sending the NMEA string directly to the class. Furthermore, it is possible to display the corresponding position directly on the map in association with the map display class. It can also be designed to get the same result by sending simple position coordinates instead of NMEA format through GPS communication class.

When a developer develops GPS reception, it is possible to process all contents of GPS reception in a short time without understanding the NMEA format by using the GPS class according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The fourth class 140 is a class that supports the map matching function. The fourth class may support the function of correcting the error of the received GPS and matching and converting the received GPS to a position recognizable by the user. The map matching is a concept used as means for correcting the received GPS position because it does not exactly coincide with the position of the road but includes some error.

The map matching class according to an embodiment of the present invention corrects the initially received GPS and finds an accurate position. Then, the map matching class finds the corresponding road accurately through a prediction algorithm for running, and converts the position to a position where the current GPS is received Function.

Based on the received GPS information and the map matching class, the user can grasp the current position based on the position.

The developer can perform GPS error correction, obtain accurate position on the road, and perform other functions utilizing this position, using a map matching class according to an embodiment of the present invention without a great understanding of map matching .

The fifth class 150 is a class that supports the search function. The fifth class may support initial search and name search for the data access library. Further, the fifth class may support the lot number address, the street name address, and the telephone number search function.

Particularly, in the present invention, a technique of searching for a destination to search for and using the POI (Point of Interest) data, creating search data, and searching for a destination through a full name search is applied.

The search class according to the embodiment of the present invention supports the initial search of the navigation and the full name search as the class that provides the basic search function of the navigation. Other searches can be configured by the developer. You can use the search class to move the map to the location, and you can use the search results as a starting point, destination, and waypoint of the route search.

With these search classes, the developer can easily provide location information search functions to various LBS tasks in areas that utilize maps, or in non-use areas.

The sixth class 160 is a class that supports user interface development. The sixth class can support functions of processing various UIs such as various types of images such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch input, and the like.

The UI / UX class is a class that manages the configuration of the screen separately from the map display class. A button for performing various functions of navigation, a display position of contents, and a movement of a screen and a screen are performed. In the UI / UX class according to the embodiment of the present invention, a screen configuration is produced using a separate tool .

Furthermore, since UI / UX class is responsible for various user input processing, the developer can manage the entire screen without any effort even if it is processed only for the function execution, and the screen configuration can be divided into the design area So that the labor involved in development can be minimized.

Using the sixth class distinguishes the screen design from the other development, so the developer can infect the development without burdening the screen design, and the screen design can easily reflect various ideas and customer requirements There is an effect.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of classes as described above can be individually and individually driven with integrity, and can be separated from each other.

For example, the developer can develop an application for displaying an electronic map using only the second class 120 supporting the map display development and the data access library. Of course, you can also develop general navigation applications using the full class and data access libraries.

2 is a diagram for explaining an example of developing an application that utilizes a map according to an embodiment of the present invention.
