For example, the route application generates an NFC tag for a user's current location according to a user's request, transmits an NFC tag to a previously stored friend contact selected by the user, The user can guide the route from the location to the friend location. At this time, if the route application is installed in the mobile terminal of the friend, the route application can also guide the friend to the route from the current location of the friend to the user location.

The path information receiving apparatus 120 is connected to the path information providing apparatus 110 via short-range wireless communication (particularly, NFC) and includes at least one of position information on a departure point, a transit point, or a destination from the path information providing apparatus 110 And the like. The route information receiving apparatus 120 may be connected to the navigation apparatus 130 via a wired or wireless connection so that the route information received from the route information providing apparatus 110 may be transmitted to the navigation apparatus 130 so as to visually provide route guidance. have.

The path information receiving apparatus 120 can recognize the path information providing apparatus 110 according to the reader operation mode by changing the operation mode of the reader at regular intervals and receive the path information from the path information providing apparatus 110. [

That is, the path information receiving apparatus 120 can receive the path information from the NFC tag of the NFC card or the path application of the mobile terminal. The predetermined period may be preset by the user, or may be set differently depending on the connection with the NFC tag or the connection with the mobile terminal. For example, the predetermined period is set to 1 second and 1.5 seconds to communicate with the NFC tag or the mobile terminal. The reader operation mode may be changed.

The reader operation mode includes a tag reader mode for bidirectional communication with the NFC tag included in the NFC card of the path information providing apparatus 110 and an emulation mode for bidirectional communication with the path application installed in the mobile terminal in the path information providing apparatus 110 . The path information receiving apparatus 120 may change the tag reader mode and the emulation mode at regular intervals to be connected to the NFC card or the mobile terminal to receive the path information.

The tag reader mode is set for bidirectional communication with the NFC tag. The tag reader mode only reads and writes NFC tags tagged by the user, and bidirectional communication with the mobile terminal is impossible. The NFC tag can transmit and receive route information only in the tag reader mode.

The emulation mode is set for bidirectional communication with a path application of a mobile terminal in a peer to peer (P2P) state. The NFC tag loaded in the path information receiving apparatus 120 is activated and reads an NFC tag through the mobile terminal Write function is performed, and bidirectional communication with the NFC tag of the NFC card is impossible. The path application of the mobile terminal can send and receive route information only in the emulation mode.

The route information receiving apparatus 120 receives identification information (including a license plate, driver information, etc.), location information (including current location and route information), current time , And a destination arrival time may be transmitted and recorded in an NFC tag or route application. That is, the path information receiving apparatus 120 can perform security assurance, history management, vehicle log information sharing, and the like as the vehicle log information is recorded while performing bidirectional communication with the NFC tag or the path application.

The navigation device 130 is connected to the route information receiving apparatus 120 by wire or wirelessly and provides route guidance based on the route information received by the route information receiving apparatus 120.
