Referred to as GPS) traffic information terminal and its system, in particular, according to the user's taste, can store various sound sources, and then after the GPS traffic information guide terminal voice rotation action, can output the stored sound source, Allow users to freely store and listen to the station at any time: 1 〇 source GPS traffic information guide terminal and its system. [Prior Art 3 Background of the Invention It has been established that the use of GPS satellite signals can be immediately confirmed. (4) 'Following this', various application fields using this _s satellite signal are gradually expanding, and in this application field In particular, there is a technology that provides instant information to the driver of the driving vehicle, which is used by the driver of the road, and the use of the information is as follows: "Gps". In the past, the driver could only obtain information such as the road conditions related to his driving by analyzing the map in advance and broadcasting it through the radio. The above-mentioned GPS terminal has the advantage of being able to detect the position of the vehicle in real time: and at the same time, providing the presence information in the driving direction or in the pre-(10)_money or presence: situation, the presence of the curved road, and the existence of the speed check_camera. Parent 20 1312424 This kind of GPS terminal has a GPS receiving unit, which is generally cracked on the vehicle and receives the position information of the vehicle by the GPS satellite. In addition, the Gps terminal also has an audio output device such as a display of an LCD and a speaker, and the audio output device outputs a guide message to the driver by text or voice to introduce traffic information. The embodiment of the conventional GPS terminal is disclosed in the Korean Patent No. 1〇_〇42〇〇〇〇 (Patentee: Li Dongxi, Authorized: February 11, 2004) "Traffic information guide device and method thereof , and the Korean Patent No. 10-0422480 (patentee: Li Jifeng, Authorization Date: March 2, 2004, the use of the satellite communication system of the safe driving alarm system and its method 10) authorized patent publication. According to the patent publication No. 10-0420000, the above-mentioned Li Dongxi GPS terminal has a structure for transmitting road traffic information (renewable) to the driver by voice (non-updating). For this reason, Li Dongxi's Gps terminal is special. The method includes: a voice output unit for storing a plurality of voice messages corresponding to the road traffic information and regenerating the voice message; a database for storing road traffic information; and an update unit for The traffic information database is updated by receiving the changed road traffic information from the external terminal device. According to the above configuration, the control unit of the GPS terminal can detect the vehicle position received by the GPS receiving unit. The traffic information database, if the vehicle location is 2〇, and there is a traffic information item to be introduced within the predetermined range, the audio output corresponding to the traffic information object can be outputted. The GPS terminal updates the road traffic information by means of a serial communication, a far-infrared, a USBi, etc., by a personal computer (pc) or an external #, a terminal installed at a gas station, and the like. In the case of the voice output department, the stored text is synthesized and output using a speech synthesis circuit, or a predetermined number of reservations are reserved. The voice message of the content is outputted through a speaker, wherein the voice message is pre-cured by 5. The voice message may include the following content, that is, this is the time zone of the ancestral claw, and, "the lane is reduced. ,,,,, reduce the overtaking line, the danger zone to the left, the "super speed supervision area", etc. But like the above Li Dongxi's GPS terminal, it used to have voice output The GPS terminal can update the '1 coordinate data of the road traffic information and the current location of the vehicle, but cannot change the content of the audio source. That is, the driver often listens to the voice of the same voice, and feels monotonous and boring for a long time. In order to get the driver out of this monotony, it is necessary to develop a technology that allows the user to store the sound source that suits his or her interests and use the sound source to output the traffic guidance information. 15 For this reason, for example, the patent number of patent number 10-0422480 According to the publication, the above-mentioned Li Jifeng's GPS terminal system is characterized in that the user's predetermined acoustic information (renewable) is transmitted from the remote database through the communication network, and is used by the speaker of the user's wireless terminal such as a mobile phone. The audio information is provided. That is, a full-running program is installed on the user's wireless terminal (e.g., mobile phone), and the user wireless terminal is connected to a conventional Gps terminal mounted on the vehicle and calculating position information received by the GPS satellite. The safe operation program installed on the user's wireless terminal receives the safety operation information related to the current position of the vehicle by the location information system terminal as the safety operation information code. The secure running program encodes the received security 7 1312424 operational information into a corresponding audio information code, and the converted audio information code is transmitted by the user wireless terminal to the remote audio information system via the communication network. And the remote audio information system retrieves the user information corresponding to the received audio information code, and according to the retrieved user information 5, the remote audio information system is searched according to the audio information determined by the user in advance. The original sound stored. The retrieved original sound is transmitted to the user wireless terminal by the remote audio information system via the communication network. The user's wireless terminal receives the original sound and outputs it through a speaker for the rider to listen to. In the above-mentioned patent publication entitled Li Jifeng's GPS terminal system, 10 there is no specific explanation on how to update the audio information. Only the safe operation program installed on the user's wireless terminal and executed by the wireless payment process is briefly disclosed. Can be updated. In addition, it is succinctly disclosed that the driver can select the voice of "Please be careful, the road is slippery, foggy, and bridged at 200m ahead" as the sound desired by himself or his family members. From this, it can be inferred that although 15 is not clear, the above bulletin implies that the user can select the audio information when the safe running program is updated. However, in such a GPS terminal system of Li Jifeng, in order to provide the pre-stored voice desired by the user, a special user wireless terminal (which can be presumed to be a mobile phone according to the first figure of the above-mentioned authorized patent publication) is required. The user wireless terminal can input information about location information and traffic information from a conventional GPS terminal, and it is necessary to install a special software called a "safe running program". Furthermore, since the audio information is transmitted from a remote location via the communication network, it is necessary to have a high-quality communication network to continuously receive the audio data in the car at a high speed. Moreover, in driving, the 1312424 user wireless terminal needs to run a safe running program from time to time, and continue to communicate with the audio information system through the communication network, so it is very likely to quickly consume the battery installed in the wireless terminal itself, so this kind of The GpS terminal system has the disadvantage of not ensuring stable output of audio information. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology that allows the user to store the desired sound source in the GPS terminal itself according to his own taste, and use the stored sound source to stably output the traffic guidance information technology, thereby not only Stable output of audio information' while also freeing the user from the monotony of listening to the same voice.
