Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a specific embodiment of the electronic device having a navigation function and an operation method thereof according to the present invention as described above will be described in detail.

1 is a block diagram showing an electronic device having a navigation function according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a table showing an example of a look-up table employed in the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device having a navigation function according to a specific embodiment of the present invention receives a GPS navigation signal (hereinafter referred to as a GPS signal) and calculates a location based on the GPS receiving module ( 10) including.

The GPS receiving module 10 receives the GPS signal at regular intervals and updates location information. To this end, the GPS module includes an antenna, a memory, a GPS chip, a GRF chip, a filter, and a control chip for receiving a signal. Since the GPS module is commercially available in various conventional GPS modules, the configuration thereof will not be described in detail herein.

On the other hand, the GPS module is connected to the controller 20 for receiving and processing the position information calculated from the GPS module, and controls the driving of the GPS module. The controller 20 calculates a receiving periodical time (hereinafter, referred to as "RT") of the GPS signal of the GPS module to control the reception of the GPS signal of the GPS module.

Here, the method of calculating the RT has various methods, and after looking at the configuration of the electromagnetic gage according to the present invention as a whole, each of them will be examined in detail.

On the other hand, the controller 20 is connected to the storage unit 30 that stores the map information. The map information refers to map information for displaying location information calculated by the GPS module on a map. In this case, the map information may include congestion information for each location. In this case, the congestion information refers to information indicating a level of how complicated the configuration of the corresponding location is.

For example, assuming that the congestion information is composed of five levels of 1 to 5, a very congested area such as an urban area is set to a congestion degree of 1, and in the case of an outlying area, 3, a country or a highway The area is set to five. However, even if it is a country road or a highway, the area adjacent to the fork or the fork is set by raising the annoyance congestion to be close to one.

In addition, the storage unit 30 may store a lookup table used by the controller 20 to calculate the RT. An example of the lookup table is described below in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

On the other hand, the controller 20 is provided with an input and output unit 40 for receiving a command from the user, and informs the search results to the user. The input / output unit 40 may be configured as one touch screen device.

In the following, the controller 20 looks at each of the methods for calculating the RT.

First, the controller 20 calculates a moving speed of a user (electronic device) from location information received from the GPS module. The RT is calculated using the calculated moving speed.

In this case, the RT is set shorter as the moving speed is faster, and set longer as the moving speed is slower. This is because repositioning does not have to be sensitive when the moving speed is slow.

At this time, the controller 20 may calculate using the following equation (Equation 1) in calculating the RT.

Herein, T _min refers to the shortest reception period of the GPS receiver module 10 mounted thereon, V _max refers to a maximum moving speed of the user, and a and b are correction constants.

At this time, if V _x exceeds V _max , the value is V _max .

The controller 20 may read the RT from the lookup table stored in the storage 30 and calculate the RT. Here, the lookup table refers to a table that summarizes the appropriate RT according to the moving speed.

On the other hand, the controller 20 calculates the RT in consideration of the movement speed of the user as well as the regional characteristics of the area where the user is located. That is, the regional characteristic refers to a congestion degree in which levels are classified in consideration of the degree of congestion of roads and road characteristics of roads in the region.

For example, in the case of the city, the road is busy and there are many crossroads, intersections, etc. within a short distance, so the location search of the navigation device should be repeated quickly. Therefore, the RT should be short. In order to reflect this, a level indicating congestion is set. If the degree of congestion is assumed to be divided into five stages, from the first stage of the congestion to the fifth stage of the least congestion, the degree of congestion in the city center will be set as the first stage.

On the other hand, the congestion degree is set differently according to the characteristics of the road. General urban roads can be set differently depending on the characteristics of the road, such as step 1, step 2 for local roads, step 4 for ring roads, step 5 for highways, and the like.

Of course, in this case, even if the same highway, if there is a crossroads (rest stop access road, etc.), such as a branch point, the RT should be set short, so the congestion level is set high (close to step 1).

In this case, in calculating the RT, the controller 20 may calculate the RT by using an equation shown in Equation 2 below.

Here, T _min refers to the shortest reception period of the GPS receiver module 10 mounted, V _max refers to the maximum moving speed of the user, a and b are correction constants, and V _x exceeds V _max . If so, the value is V _max and C _n is a congestion constant.

In this case, the congestion constant C _n is an influence value for each reception period set according to the congestion degree of the road divided into n steps. That is, for example, when the congestion degree is one step, the congestion constant C ₁ is a constant defined as 1, C ₂ is 1.25, and the like.

In addition, the controller 20 may calculate the RT in consideration of a battery state of the electronic device in addition to the moving speed and congestion degree.

At this time, the controller 20 calculates the remaining battery level according to the remaining battery capacity of the electronic device. For example, when the remaining battery level is 60% or less, level 1, 60% to 40% level 2, less than 40% can be set to level 3, this may be reflected in the ratio appropriate for the RT calculation.

For example, the controller 20 may calculate the value according to the following Equation 3 according to the battery remaining amount.

Here, T _min refers to the shortest reception period of the GPS receiver module 10 mounted, V _max refers to the maximum moving speed of the user, a and b are correction constants, and V _x exceeds V _max . In this case, the value is V _max , C _n is a congestion constant which is an influence value for the reception period set according to the congestion degree of the road divided into n steps, and BT _m is the battery capacity divided into m steps according to the battery capacity. This is a capacity constant that affects the reception period.

That is, when the battery level is level 1, the capacity constant BT ₁ Is set to 1, BT ₂ may be set to 1.25, and so on.

Of course, all of the above-described embodiments are methods for minimizing battery consumption. If the electronic device is supplied with power from the outside, the RT is calculated according to a basic reception period without performing the process of resetting the RT. It is also possible to receive a GPS signal.

Of course, although not separately mentioned, the controller 20 calculates the storefront RT only by considering only the congestion degree, or calculates the RT by considering only the remaining amount of battery, or calculates the RT by considering only the congestion and the remaining amount of battery. You may.

The RT can be calculated by a calculation formula such as Equation (1), (2) or (3) above, and can also be calculated by reading these results from a lookup table.

An example of the lookup table is shown in FIG. 2.

The illustrated table summarizes the case where the battery is 60% or more, that is, the battery level is 1 as an example.

The numbers shown in the table are just examples and may be set differently according to the performance or actual use conditions of the GPS receiving module.

However, as shown in the table, the higher the degree of congestion (closer to 1), the shorter the RT is set, and the faster the moving speed, the shorter the RT is set. However, when the moving speed is above a certain speed, it can be seen that the shortest RT is maintained.

A plurality of such tables are stored according to the level of the remaining battery level.

Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic device with a navigation function according to the present invention will be described in detail according to the operation method.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating an electronic device having a navigation function according to an example of a specific embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an electronic device having a navigation function according to another example of a specific embodiment of the present invention. The flow shows how to operate.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating an electronic device having a navigation function according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an electronic device having a navigation function according to another embodiment of the present invention. It is a flow chart showing the operation of the device.

As shown in FIG. 3, a method of operating an electronic device having a navigation function according to an embodiment of the present disclosure starts from receiving a GPS signal by a GPS module (S100).

When the GPS module receives the GPS signal, the GPS module calculates the position of the current electronic device using the same (S110).

The GPS module calculates a location, provides the calculated location information to the controller 20, and the controller 20 counts the waiting time (S120). The waiting time refers to a waiting time until the GPS module receives a GPS signal again and calculates a location.

Thereafter, the controller 20 calculates a moving speed of the user by using previously received location information and currently received location information (S130).

Then, using the calculated moving speed, the reception period (RT) is calculated (S140). The method of calculating the RT is the same as the salping bar above.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the waiting time is greater than or equal to the RT (S150). And if the waiting time is more than RT to perform again from the 100th step.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, in another example of a specific embodiment of the present invention, the GPS module receives a GPS signal and calculates the position as the example of a specific embodiment of the present invention, the controller 20 is a waiting time It starts with counting (S100, S110, S120).

However, according to another example of a specific embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether the electronic device receives power from the outside after the step 120 (S125).

At this time, as a result of the determination of step 125, when the electronic device is not supplied with power from the outside (that is, when the power is supplied from the battery), as in the example of the specific embodiment of the present invention step 130 and 140 Follow the steps to recalculate and set RT.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination of step 125, when the electronic device is supplied with power from the outside, it is determined whether or not the GPS signal is re-received by determining whether the standby time exceeds the RT using the existing RT without calculating a new RT. Determine (S150).

On the other hand, the operation method of the electronic device with a navigation function according to an embodiment of the present invention as shown in Figure 5, the GPS module starts by receiving a GPS signal (S200). The GPS module receiving the GPS signal calculates a position based on the received GPS signal and transmits the calculated position to the controller 20 (S210).

Thereafter, the controller 20 counts the waiting time (S220).

Then, the moving speed of the user is calculated using the transmitted location information (S230).

Next, the controller 20 determines whether the moving speed is less than or equal to a preset set value (S240). Here, the set value refers to a value corresponding to a moving speed when the moving speed is too slow to have a meaning of driving the GPS module.

Therefore, when the moving speed is less than or equal to the set value, the OFF time is counted (S250), and the GPS module is turned off (S260). At this time, the OFF time is for limiting the time that the GPS module is OFF because it is difficult to match the situation (when the moving speed becomes faster) when the GPS module is turned OFF for too long.

Therefore, after the GPS module is turned off, it is determined whether the OFF time is longer than a specified time (S270).

When the OFF time is longer than a predetermined time, the GPS module is turned on again (S280), and the GPS signal is received to calculate a position (S290 and S300).

Then, the process is repeated again from step 200. In this case, since the steps 290 and 300 are described separately, the controller 20 may calculate the moving speed only after calculating the position at least two times after the GPS module is re-driven.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step 240, if the moving speed exceeds the set value, the controller 20 recalculates and sets the RT (S242).

At this time, the calculation method of the RT is as described above.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the waiting time is equal to or greater than the RT, and it is determined whether to re-receive the GPS signal (S244).

Meanwhile, another example of another embodiment of the present invention has the same operation procedure as the example of another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, but after step 220, the electronic device supplies power from the outside. It is determined whether to receive (S225).

As a result of the determination of step 225, when the electronic device receives power from the outside, the process returns to step 200 to repeat the operation.

The rights of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, but are defined by the claims, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and adaptations within the scope of the claims. It is self-evident.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for adjusting a reception period of a satellite navigation signal according to a user's use environment in order to reduce power consumption in an electronic device having a navigation function. According to the present invention as described above, The reception period of the satellite navigation signal can be adjusted according to the state, thereby reducing the power consumption.

Therefore, when the portable electronic device performs a navigation function using battery power, the battery consumption can be reduced, thereby increasing the operating time.
