The present invention relates to a multimedia driving system and a control method thereof.

In general, a vehicle driver needs various pieces of information about his current location and the distance to his destination.

For example, we want to get information about the shortest distance course to the destination, the optimal distance course for the current traffic situation, or the time required to the destination.

For this purpose, a global positioning system (GPS) and a geographic information system (GIS) are provided.

The GPS measures the position, speed, and time of the vehicle by using satellites, and the GIS stores map information of various regions, and outputs map information of a specific region as needed and provides a service.

The conventional geographic information system using GPS and GIS as described above provides the user with an electronic map that is accumulated in advance when the user requests the information, and converts the shortest distance, the optimal distance, and the required time to the destination to which the user wants to go. Sun will inform the driver.

However, in the conventional geographic information system, since the amount of information provided to the driver is limited to simple geographic information, the information is not diversified and it is very difficult to drive to a desired destination by using geographic information provided to the driver. In addition, since the information provided to the driver is simply limited to geographic information, there is a problem in that effective tourism cannot be realized because a variety of tourist information cannot be obtained.

Therefore, the present invention for solving the above problems in advance to take a video of domestic highways, national roads and local roads, edit and store in a GIS, using the GPS and GIS to the current location of the user's driving and geographic information of the area It detects the weather, tourism, news, and advertisements of the detected area from the database, constructs the geographic information image and sends it to the user's receiving terminal. The present invention aims to provide a multimedia driving system and a method of controlling the same so that the user can enjoy a variety of tourism by providing weather and tourism information of the region.
