以上之概述與接下來的詳細說明及附圖,皆是為了說明本發明所採取之方式、手段及功效。而有關本發明的其他詳細內容,將在後續的說明及圖式中加以闡述。The above summary, the following detailed description and the drawings are intended to illustrate the manner, the Further details regarding the present invention will be set forth in the following description and drawings.

第一圖為本發明所提供的一種導航系統實施例的方塊圖,所述的導航系統10可為一內嵌在可攜式電子裝置上的程式軟體或韌體,將軟體或韌體運算後所獲得的路徑資訊顯示在使用介面106,用以引導使用者行車或走路時的路徑。The first figure is a block diagram of an embodiment of a navigation system provided by the present invention. The navigation system 10 can be a software or firmware embedded in a portable electronic device. After the software or firmware is calculated. The obtained path information is displayed on the use interface 106 to guide the user when driving or walking.

所述的導航系統10包括一地圖資料庫102、一處理單元104及一使用介面106。The navigation system 10 includes a map database 102, a processing unit 104, and a usage interface 106.

使用介面106可包括一顯示面板及一到多個操作元件,用以接收使用者所輸入的路徑規劃請求及輸出處理單元104所規劃的路徑。例如,透過使用者在顯示面板上選取清單資料或以語音輸入的方式,處理單元104接收一出發地及一目的地資料,並且根據地圖資料庫102的記錄進行運算及規劃,而獲得從出發地到達目的地的一導航路徑,再搭配地圖將導航路徑輸出到顯示面板,以供使用者依據導航路徑行進。The usage interface 106 can include a display panel and one or more operational elements for receiving a path planning request input by the user and a path planned by the output processing unit 104. For example, the processing unit 104 receives a departure place and a destination data by using the user to select the inventory data on the display panel or by voice input, and performs calculation and planning according to the record of the map database 102 to obtain the departure point. A navigation path to the destination is used, and the navigation path is output to the display panel with the map for the user to travel according to the navigation path.

地圖資料庫102中包含許多路段資料,包括各個路段起、迄節點的座標(經緯度)、路名、道路類型、道路寬度等參數。其中,道路類型可依照等級分為國道、快速道路、省道、縣道、鄉道等;或依照路面寬度分為寬路、窄路、巷弄等,又或可依照與地平線的相對位置分為平面道路、高架道路、隧道、車行地下道等等。因此,一路段可能同時包括多種不同的道路類型,例如道路類型為「國道」的路段,同時也具有「寬路」此一道路類型的參數。The map database 102 contains a lot of road segment data, including coordinates of the starting and ending nodes (latitude and longitude), road name, road type, road width and other parameters. Among them, the road type can be divided into national roads, express roads, provincial roads, county roads, township roads, etc. according to the grade; or divided into wide roads, narrow roads, lanes, etc. according to the width of the road surface, or according to the relative position with the horizon For plane roads, elevated roads, tunnels, underground roads, etc. Therefore, a road segment may include a variety of different road types at the same time, such as a road section with a road type of "national road" and a "wide road" parameter of this road type.

處理單元104接收到路徑規劃請求時,即根據出發地及目的地所對應的經緯度,讀取地圖資料庫102中所記錄的路段資料,蒐尋出發地到目的地之間的一或多條路徑所包含各個候選路段,並從該等候選路段中根據預設的演算法選取特定的候選路段,以及計算方向、角度及距離等,最後可產生由該等被選取之候選路段所組成的建議路徑(recommended path)。處理單元104可輸出規劃完成的建議路徑到使用介面106加以顯示,藉以引導使用者從出發地沿著建議路徑行進,直到抵達目的地。處理單元104常用的演算法係如Dijkstra演算法,用以從出發地到目的地之間的所有路段中,依照各路段的權重(cost)規劃出最短路徑以作為建議路徑;利用Dijkstra演算法計算權重時,所述的權重即為每一路段的距離值。When receiving the path planning request, the processing unit 104 reads the road segment data recorded in the map database 102 according to the latitude and longitude corresponding to the departure place and the destination, and searches for one or more paths between the departure place and the destination. Include each candidate road segment, and select a specific candidate road segment from the candidate road segments according to a preset algorithm, and calculate a direction, an angle, a distance, and the like, and finally generate a suggested path composed of the selected candidate road segments ( Recommended path). Processing unit 104 may output a planned path of completion of the planning to display using interface 106 to guide the user from the departure location along the suggested path until the destination is reached. The algorithm commonly used by the processing unit 104 is a Dijkstra algorithm for planning the shortest path as the suggested path according to the weight of each segment from all the segments between the departure point and the destination; using the Dijkstra algorithm to calculate When weighting, the weight is the distance value of each road segment.

以第二圖所示的候選路段示意圖為例說明:出發地A到目的地B之間包括多條路徑,每條路徑上包含多個節點,如:C、D到I等節點,相鄰的兩個節點所連結的路段為候選路段。換言之,出發地A到目的地B之間可包括多條由不同候選路段串連而成的路徑。第二圖所示的各個候選路段所對應的道路類型及距離列表如下表一:Taking the candidate road segment diagram shown in the second figure as an example, the departure point A to the destination B includes multiple paths, and each path includes multiple nodes, such as: C, D to I, etc., adjacent The road segments connected by the two nodes are candidate road segments. In other words, a plurality of paths formed by connecting different candidate road segments may be included between the departure point A and the destination B. The road types and distances corresponding to each candidate road segment shown in the second figure are listed in Table 1 below:

本例中,處理單元104根據預設的演算法,規劃出的最短路徑為出發地A經C、E、F、H到B各節點間的候選路段所組成的建議路徑200。In this example, the processing unit 104 according to the preset algorithm, the shortest path planned is a suggested path 200 composed of candidate road segments between the nodes A, C, E, F, and H to B.

在本例中,處理單元104根據所蒐尋到的出發地A與目的地B之間各候選路段的資料,對這些候選路段進行統計和分析,以歸納出所有候選路段所包括的道路類型,還可進一步統計每一種道路類型在建議路徑中的長度。對候選路段的分析完成後,處理單元104可產生含有選項的一統計表,並可將統計表輸出到使用介面106的顯示面板顯示。In this example, the processing unit 104 performs statistics and analysis on the candidate road segments based on the searched data of the candidate road segments between the departure point A and the destination B, to summarize the road types included in all the candidate road segments, and The length of each road type in the suggested path can be further counted. After the analysis of the candidate segments is completed, the processing unit 104 may generate a statistical table containing the options and may output the statistics to the display panel using the interface 106.

使用者可透過使用介面106對統計表的選項進行選取而產生一選取指令,用以將所選取的選項指定給相對應的道路類型。處理單元104再根據使用介面106所接收到的控制指令(例如使用者按壓「重新規劃」按鈕),依照各候選路段所對應的道路類型重新計算各候選路段的權重,進而產生各候選路段的更新權重。處理單元104可根據對應於各個候選路段的更新權重,從出發地到目的地之間的各候選路段當中,根據使用者所偏好的道路類型重新規劃出一偏好路徑(preferred path)。The user can select an option of the statistical table by using the interface 106 to generate a selection instruction for assigning the selected option to the corresponding road type. The processing unit 104 recalculates the weights of the candidate road segments according to the road type corresponding to each candidate road segment according to the control command received by the user interface 106 (for example, the user presses the "re-planning" button), thereby generating the update of each candidate road segment. Weights. The processing unit 104 may re-prepare a preferred path according to the road type preferred by the user from among the candidate road segments between the departure place and the destination according to the update weight corresponding to each candidate road segment.

具體例示請參照第三圖所示的統計表示意圖。本實施例的統計表30分別顯示如第二圖所示的出發地A到目的地B之間各候選路段的統計資料,包括多種道路類型300、每一道路類型在建議路徑中的長度302,以及每一道路類型所對應的一權重選項304。根據處理單元104的分析,所有出發地A到目的地B間所包括的各路段之道路類型300包括:國道、快速道路、省道、縣道、鄉道、巷弄、窄路、寬路、隧道及車行地下道;而經由處理單元104計算及規劃出來的建議路徑中,共包括上述道路類型中的:國道、省道、縣道、鄉道、寬路及隧道。For a specific example, please refer to the statistical diagram shown in the third figure. The statistical table 30 of the present embodiment respectively displays statistics of candidate road segments between the departure point A and the destination B as shown in the second figure, including a plurality of road types 300, and a length 302 of each road type in the suggested path. And a weight option 304 corresponding to each road type. According to the analysis of the processing unit 104, the road types 300 of all the road sections included between the departure point A and the destination B include: national roads, express roads, provincial roads, county roads, township roads, lanes, narrow roads, wide roads, The proposed route that is calculated and planned by the processing unit 104 includes the national road, the provincial road, the county road, the rural road, the wide road and the tunnel.

本例中的權重選項304包括「加重權重」、「儘量避免」及「無視」,每個權重選項304對應到一權重比例,用於指示將屬於相對應之道路類型300的候選路段的權重加以提升或降低。當特定一種道路類型所對應的「加重權重」被選取時,屬於所述特定道路類型的候選路段的權重將依照一權重比例提升,以增加該種道路類型的路段被選取的機率,如第三圖中所示的「快速道路」和「寬路」;當「儘量避免」被選取時,所對應的特定道路類型的候選路段的權重則根據另一權重比例減少,以降低該類型的路段被選取的機率,如第三圖所示的「鄉道」;而當「無視」被選取時,所對應的特定道路類型的候選路段的權重不變,如第三圖所示的「省道」。上述的權重選項的內容可以以其他可指示出提升或降低權重之意義的文字、數字或圖形的形式表現。The weighting option 304 in this example includes "emphasis weight", "try to avoid" and "ignorance". Each weight option 304 corresponds to a weight ratio for indicating the weight of the candidate road segment belonging to the corresponding road type 300. Increase or decrease. When the "emphasis weight" corresponding to a particular road type is selected, the weight of the candidate road segments belonging to the specific road type will be increased according to a weight ratio to increase the probability that the road type of the road type is selected, such as the third The "fast road" and "wide road" shown in the figure; when "try to avoid" is selected, the weight of the candidate road segment corresponding to the specific road type is reduced according to another weight ratio to reduce the type of road segment being The probability of selection is “township” as shown in the third figure. When “disregard” is selected, the weight of the candidate road segment corresponding to the specific road type is unchanged, as shown in the third figure. . The content of the above weighting options may be expressed in the form of other words, numbers or graphics that may indicate the meaning of increasing or decreasing the weight.

處理單元104根據預設的演算法規劃建議路徑時,可按照各段候選路段的權重計算應選取的路段。以Dijkstra演算法來規劃最短路徑為例,每一路段的權重即為該路段的距離(可經由計算該路段的起、迄點經緯度而得),權重總和最小值所組成的路徑即為最短路徑。When the processing unit 104 plans a suggested path according to a preset algorithm, the path segment to be selected may be calculated according to the weight of each candidate segment. Taking the Dijkstra algorithm to plan the shortest path as an example, the weight of each road segment is the distance of the road segment (which can be obtained by calculating the latitude and longitude of the starting and ending points of the road segment), and the path composed of the minimum sum of weights is the shortest path. .

在本實施例中,使用者於使用介面106對「快速道路」和「寬路」進行輸入,產生一選取指令使「快速道路」和「寬路」對應「加重權重」,以及產生選取指令使「鄉道」對應「儘量避免」,其他的道路類型則維持對應到「無視」。處理單元104根據每一選項所對應的一權重比例重新計算出發地A到目的地B之間各候選路段的更新權重。例如:「加重權重」所對應的權重比例為增加原權重百分之五十,因此,對應到「加重權重」的道路類型的路段,其更新權重為增加原權重的百分之五十;而「儘量避免」所對應的權重比例為降低原權重百分之五十,因此,對應到「儘量避免」的道路類型的路段,更新權重為降低原權重的百分之五十。In the present embodiment, the user inputs the "fast road" and the "wide path" using the interface 106, generates a selection command to make the "fast road" and the "wide path" correspond to the "emphasis weight", and generates a selection command. "Country Roads" corresponds to "Try to Avoid" and other road types remain "Ignore". The processing unit 104 recalculates the update weights of the candidate segments between the departure point A and the destination B according to a weight ratio corresponding to each option. For example, the weighting ratio corresponding to the "weighting weight" is increased by 50% of the original weight. Therefore, the road weight corresponding to the road type of "weighted weight" has an update weight of 50% of the original weight; The weight ratio corresponding to "try to avoid" is reduced by 50% of the original weight. Therefore, the update weight is reduced to 50% of the original weight corresponding to the road type of "try to avoid".

舉一具體例示來說,當任一路段原先的權重為40%,該路段若對應到「加重權重」的選項,其更新權重即提升為60%;若對應到「儘量避免」的選項,更新權重即降低為20%;而若對應到「無視」時,則維持原有的權重。As a specific example, when the original weight of any road segment is 40%, if the road segment corresponds to the "weighting weight" option, the update weight is increased to 60%; if it corresponds to the "try to avoid" option, update The weight is reduced to 20%; if it is corresponding to "ignoring", the original weight is maintained.

再舉另一例示說明:當路段的距離為路段的權重,且距離越短權重越大時,被「加重權重」的路段的更新權重將小於原本的距離值,使更新後的權重提升;而「儘量避免」的路段的更新權重則大於原本的距離值,使更新後的權重降低。例如當其中一候選路段的道路類型為快速道路,權重為50(即距離長度為50公里),根據使用者的偏好選擇使快速道路「加重權重」時,該候選路段的權重將由處理單元104重新計算後更新為25。Another example is illustrated: when the distance of the road segment is the weight of the road segment, and the shorter the distance is, the weight of the road segment to be "weighted" is less than the original distance value, so that the updated weight is increased; The update weight of the "try to avoid" section is greater than the original distance value, so that the updated weight is reduced. For example, when the road type of one of the candidate road segments is a fast road and the weight is 50 (ie, the distance length is 50 kilometers), when the fast road is “weighted” according to the preference of the user, the weight of the candidate road segment will be re-weighted by the processing unit 104. Updated to 25 after calculation.

值得一提的是,當同一候選路段同時屬於二種以上的道路類型,且二種以上的道路類型同被指定提升或降低權重時,在本實施例中可採用僅加權一次的手段。例如:處理單元104根據使用者在統計表30的設定,而重新計算候選路段A-D的權重時,即使候選路段A-D的道路類型同時符合「快速道路」及「寬路」,但處理單元104仍僅就A-D的權重加權50%,使得候選路段A-D的更新權重為60。但上述手段僅為實作時的其中一種方式,在其他實施例中,則可視導航系統10的整體設計,採用累計加權或倍數加權等其他更新權重的手段。It is worth mentioning that when the same candidate road segment belongs to more than two road types at the same time, and more than two road types are assigned to raise or lower the weight, in this embodiment, only weighted one time can be adopted. For example, when the processing unit 104 recalculates the weight of the candidate road segment AD according to the setting of the statistical table 30, even if the road type of the candidate road segment AD conforms to both "fast road" and "wide road", the processing unit 104 only The weight of the AD is weighted by 50% so that the update weight of the candidate road segment AD is 60. However, the above means is only one of the implementation methods. In other embodiments, the overall design of the visual navigation system 10 uses other means such as cumulative weighting or multiple weighting to update weights.

待處理單元104將出發地A到目的地B的所有候選路段都根據統計表30中對應的權重選項304重新計算權重後,處理單元104再根據各候選路段的更新權重而規劃出連接出發地A到目的地B的一偏好路徑。After the processing unit 104 recalculates the weights according to the corresponding weight options 304 in the statistical table 30, all the candidate road segments from the departure point A to the destination B are recalculated according to the weighting options 304 of the statistical table 30, and the processing unit 104 further plans the connection starting point A according to the update weights of the candidate road segments. A preferred path to destination B.

經處理單元104依照第三圖所示之統計表30的權重選項304重新計算後,第二圖所示的出發地A到目的地B的候選路段的權重列表如下表二:After the processing unit 104 recalculates according to the weight option 304 of the statistical table 30 shown in the third figure, the weight list of the candidate road segments from the departure point A to the destination B shown in the second figure is as follows:

因此,處理單元104根據各候選路段的更新權重重新規劃出的路徑則為出發地A經C、E、G、H到目的地B,如第四圖所示的偏好路徑400。待處理單元104規劃出新的偏好路徑400後,可再搭配地圖資訊將偏好路徑400輸出到使用介面106的顯示面板上,藉以引導使用者。Therefore, the path re-planned by the processing unit 104 according to the update weight of each candidate segment is the departure point A via C, E, G, H to the destination B, such as the preference path 400 shown in the fourth figure. After the processing unit 104 plans a new preference path 400, the preference path 400 can be output to the display panel of the usage interface 106 by using the map information to guide the user.

值得一提的是,若有二個路段節點之間同時有多個候選路段,而該等候選路段具有相同的更新權重時,處理單元104則可選取距離較短的路段以繼續規劃偏好路徑。It is worth mentioning that if there are multiple candidate road segments between two road segment nodes, and the candidate road segments have the same update weight, the processing unit 104 may select the road segment with a shorter distance to continue planning the preference path.

從第四圖所示的偏好路徑400可知,處理單元104所規劃的路徑係依照使用者對道路類型的偏好進行計算,不再單純只根據路徑的長短、或預設的固定權重來安排路徑,讓導航系統10更彈性、靈活地依據使用者駕駛或行進的期望而提供導航資訊。It can be seen from the preference path 400 shown in the fourth figure that the path planned by the processing unit 104 is calculated according to the user's preference for the road type, and the path is no longer simply arranged according to the length of the path or the preset fixed weight. The navigation system 10 is provided with more flexible and flexible navigation information according to the user's desire to drive or travel.

除了根據處理單元104產生的統計表30直接選取喜好或不喜好的道路類型外,在另一實施例則可以選取特定候選路段的方式來達成修改導航路徑的目的。In addition to directly selecting a favorite or unfavorable road type according to the statistical table 30 generated by the processing unit 104, in another embodiment, a specific candidate road segment may be selected to achieve the purpose of modifying the navigation path.

如第二圖所示,當處理單元104根據預設的演算法計算及規劃出建議路徑後,可將建議路徑顯示在使用介面106的顯示面板上。As shown in the second figure, after the processing unit 104 calculates and plans the suggested path according to the preset algorithm, the suggested path can be displayed on the display panel of the use interface 106.

使用者可透過控制操作元件、或利用其他的輸入單元,在使用介面106選取連接出發地A到目的地B之間的至少一段候選路段為指定路段,並產生一選取指令以控制處理單元104處理。例如控制左、右方向鍵在顯示面板上移動指標,到預定的路段位置後加以選取,或是當顯示面板為觸控面板時,可直接在觸控面板上點選特定的路段,或是直接輸入路段資料以選定指定路段。而所述的可選取的指定路段,可包括被選取為建議路徑的候選路段、以及未被選取為建議路徑的候選路段。The user can select at least one candidate road segment connecting the departure point A to the destination B to the designated road segment by using the interface 106 by using the control operation component or using another input unit, and generate a selection instruction to control the processing unit 104 to process. . For example, the left and right direction keys are used to move the indicator on the display panel, and the target is selected after the predetermined road position, or when the display panel is the touch panel, the specific road segment can be directly clicked on the touch panel, or directly Enter the segment data to select the specified segment. And the selectable designated road segment may include a candidate road segment selected as a suggested path and a candidate road segment not selected as the suggested path.

假設在本例中,使用者選取C-E及F-B二個候選路段作為指定路段,並分別輸入不同的權重選項,例如:當使用者在選取指定路段後,使用介面106分別顯示一選單以供點選。假設經點選後,本例中對C-E路段的權重選項為「儘量避免」、對F-B路段的權重選項則為「加重權重」。Assume that in this example, the user selects two candidate segments of CE and FB as the designated segments, and inputs different weight options respectively. For example, when the user selects the specified segment, the interface 106 is used to display a menu for clicking. . Assume that after the selection, the weight option for the C-E segment in this example is "try to avoid" and the weight option for the F-B segment is "emphasis weight".

處理單元104接收到經點選而產生的選取指令及對應的權重選項後,會先辨識出指定路段所屬的道路類型,以本例而言,C-E路段所屬的道路類型包括「國道」及「寬路」,而F-B路段所屬的道路類型則包括「縣道」。After receiving the selection command and the corresponding weight option, the processing unit 104 first identifies the road type to which the designated road section belongs. In this example, the road type to which the CE road section belongs includes “national road” and “wide”. Road, and the type of road to which the FB section belongs includes "County Road".

接著,處理單元104即根據辨識出的道路類型比對各候選路段,以找出具有與指定路段相同之道路類型的其他候選路段,並根據指定路段所對應的權重選項調整各個候選路段的權重。以本例來說,其中,A-C、A-D、D-E、E-G、G-H及I-B路段的道路類型都包括「國道」及「寬路」至少其一,因此,上述路段的權重則根據C-E路段所對應的「儘量避免」而降低權重。同樣地,F-H路段的道路類型包括「縣道」,因此則根據F-B路段所對應的「加重權重」提升權重。Then, the processing unit 104 compares each candidate road segment according to the identified road type to find other candidate road segments having the same road type as the designated road segment, and adjusts the weights of the respective candidate road segments according to the weight options corresponding to the designated road segment. In this case, the road types of the AC, AD, DE, EG, GH and IB sections all include at least one of "national road" and "wide road". Therefore, the weight of the above road section is based on the corresponding CE section. "Try to avoid" and reduce the weight. Similarly, the road type of the F-H section includes the “county road”, so the weight is increased according to the “weighted weight” corresponding to the F-B section.

若沿用前一實施例中所述的權重比例來計算,處理單元104根據指定路段所對應的道路類型及權重選項調整候選路段的權重後,分別產生如下表三所示的更新權重:If the weighting ratio of the candidate road segment is adjusted according to the road type and the weight option corresponding to the specified road segment, the processing unit 104 respectively generates the update weights as shown in Table 3 below:

處理單元104根據各候選路段的更新權重,重新規劃出的路徑則為出發地A經C、F、H到目的地B,如第五圖所示的偏好路徑500。重新規劃後的偏好路徑500亦可搭配地圖資訊輸出到使用介面106的顯示面板以引導使用者。The processing unit 104 re-plans the path based on the update weight of each candidate segment as the departure point A through C, F, H to the destination B, as shown in the fifth figure. The re-planned preference path 500 can also be output with the map information to the display panel of the usage interface 106 to guide the user.

第六圖為本發明所提供的一種導航路徑規劃方法實施例的流程圖,所述的導航路徑規劃方法適用於一導航系統,因此請一併參照第一圖所示之導航系統10示意圖。The sixth figure is a flowchart of an embodiment of a navigation path planning method provided by the present invention. The navigation path planning method is applicable to a navigation system. Therefore, please refer to the schematic diagram of the navigation system 10 shown in the first figure.

處理單元104可根據地圖資料庫102中的路段資料,蒐尋及分析使用者所選定的出發地到目的地之間所包括的一或多條路徑,以及每條路徑所包含的多個候選路段,和每個候選路段的道路類型(S601)。The processing unit 104 may search and analyze one or more paths included between the departure point and the destination selected by the user according to the link data in the map database 102, and multiple candidate road segments included in each path. And the road type of each candidate road section (S601).

其中,處理單元104可能預先根據地圖資料庫102的資料及預設的演算法規劃出建議路徑,例如一條最短路徑,用以引導使用者以最短距離自出發地抵達目的地。當使用者不欲依照預設的建議路徑行走時,處理單元104可於接收到使用者透過使用介面106所輸入的路徑分析指令後,開始進行上述的候選路段與道路類型分析,例如當建議路徑顯示在使用介面106時,同時顯示一「重新規劃」之選項供使用者選取而產生路徑分析指令。The processing unit 104 may pre-define a suggested path according to the data of the map database 102 and a preset algorithm, for example, a shortest path, to guide the user to arrive at the destination from the departure point at the shortest distance. When the user does not want to follow the preset recommended path, the processing unit 104 may start performing the above-mentioned candidate road segment and road type analysis after receiving the path analysis instruction input by the user through the use interface 106, for example, when the recommended path is When the interface 106 is used, a "re-planning" option is displayed for the user to select and generate a path analysis command.

處理單元104可根據分析後的結果統計出發地與目的地之間各候選路段的道路類型的數量及種類(S603),並可產生一統計表以輸出到使用介面106供使用者檢視。參閱第三圖所示,統計表30可包括該等候選路段所包括的道路類型300、每一道路類型300所對應的路段在建議路徑中的長度302,以及對應於每一道路類型300的一權重選項304。使用者可根據不同道路類型300的長度302,得知建議路徑中是否包含過多使用者不欲行經的道路類型,進而啟動依照道路類型302重新規劃路徑的功能。The processing unit 104 may count the number and type of road types of each candidate road segment between the departure point and the destination according to the analyzed result (S603), and may generate a statistical table to output to the usage interface 106 for the user to view. Referring to the third figure, the statistical table 30 may include the road type 300 included in the candidate road segments, the length 302 of the road segment corresponding to each road type 300 in the suggested path, and one corresponding to each road type 300. Weight option 304. The user can know, according to the length 302 of the different road type 300, whether the suggested path contains too many road types that the user does not want to travel, and then starts the function of re-planning the path according to the road type 302.

權重選項304可包括「加重權重」、「儘量避免」及「無視」或其他具有相同或相似概念的內容,每一權重選項304對應一權重比例以指示提升或降低權重值。例如:「加重權重」及「儘量避免」之選項分別提升原權重的50%及降低原權重的50%,「無視」則不調整權重。The weighting option 304 may include "emphasis weighting", "trying to avoid" and "ignoring" or other content having the same or similar concepts, each weighting option 304 corresponding to a weighting ratio to indicate an increase or decrease in weight value. For example, the "add weight" and "try to avoid" options increase the original weight by 50% and reduce the original weight by 50%. "Ignore" does not adjust the weight.

特別強調的是,上述的權重選項304的內容僅為一例示而非本發明之限制。在其他實施例中,亦可直接以「加重權重之50%」、「降低權重之50%」及「不變」;或是直接供使用者輸入數值如「30%」或「-60%」的方式以作為所述的權重選項。導航系統10僅需依照權重選項設計的方式,在程式記憶體(圖未示)中燒錄相對應的韌體,使處理單元104進行正確的判斷及計算即可達成如上述具體例示相同的效果。It is particularly emphasized that the content of the above-described weighting option 304 is merely an example and not a limitation of the present invention. In other embodiments, you can also directly use "50% of weighting", "50% of weight reduction" and "unchanged"; or directly input values such as "30%" or "-60%" for users. The way to use as the weight option described. The navigation system 10 only needs to burn the corresponding firmware in the program memory (not shown) according to the design of the weight option, so that the processing unit 104 performs the correct judgment and calculation to achieve the same effect as the above specific example. .

使用者可透過使用介面106的操作單元(如按鈕)或觸控式的顯示面板對統計表30的權重選項304進行輸入,以產生選取指令使不同的道路類型依照使用者的需求而對應到不同的權重選項。例如將「快速道路」和「寬路」所對應的權重選項304由預設的「無視」改為「加重權重」,以及將「鄉道」所對應的權重選項304改為「儘量避免」。待使用者選取好欲調整權重的道路類型300後,再透過操作單元或顯示面板輸入控制指令,使處理單元104根據控制指令開始讀取使用介面106所接收的輸入,並根據各道路類型300所對應的權重選項304,將出發地到目的地之間的候選路段進行相對應的權重調整(S605)。The user can input the weight option 304 of the statistical table 30 through an operation unit (such as a button) or a touch-sensitive display panel of the interface 106 to generate a selection instruction to make different road types corresponding to different needs of the user. Weight options. For example, the weight option 304 corresponding to "fast road" and "wide road" is changed from the default "ignorance" to "add weight", and the weight option 304 corresponding to "township" is changed to "try to avoid". After the user selects the road type 300 to adjust the weight, the control unit 104 inputs the control command through the operation unit or the display panel, so that the processing unit 104 starts to read the input received by the user interface 106 according to the control command, and according to each road type 300. The corresponding weight option 304 performs a corresponding weight adjustment on the candidate road segment between the departure point and the destination (S605).

例如其中一候選路段的道路類型為「鄉道」,其原本的權重為40%,根據上述例示的權重選項304進行調整,降低原權重的50%後,產生該候選路段的更新權重為20%,藉以降低在多個候選路段當中,屬於鄉道的路段被選取的機率。For example, if the road type of one of the candidate road sections is “township road”, the original weight is 40%, and the weighting option 304 is modified according to the above-exemplified weight option 304 to reduce the original weight by 50%, and the update weight of the candidate road section is 20%. In order to reduce the probability that the road segments belonging to the township road are selected among the plurality of candidate road segments.

將該等候選路段依照相對應的道路類型和權重選項調整後,處理單元104再根據各候選路段的更新權重重新規劃一偏好路徑(S607),藉此讓使用者所偏好行進的道路類型出現的機率增加,以及讓使用者所欲避免接觸的道路類型減少被選取的可能。After the candidate road segments are adjusted according to the corresponding road type and weight options, the processing unit 104 re-plans a preference path according to the update weights of the candidate road segments (S607), thereby allowing the user to prefer the type of road to travel. The chances are increased, and the type of road that the user wants to avoid is reduced.

最後,處理單元104可將重新規劃好的偏好路徑與該路徑的相關地圖資訊(如路段長度、方向等)輸出到使用介面106(S609),以供使用者檢視及依循。Finally, the processing unit 104 may output the re-planned preference path and related map information (such as link length, direction, etc.) of the path to the usage interface 106 (S609) for the user to view and follow.

若使用者仍有再進一步調整路徑的需求,則可再返回至步驟S603及其以下執行。例如再度將「鄉道」的權重選項304指定為「儘量避免」,以控制處理單元104將前次已降低權重為20%的鄉道路段,再一次降低50%的權重,產生出10%的更新權重,以利處理單元104再次規劃偏好路徑。If the user still has a need to further adjust the path, the process returns to step S603 and below. For example, the weighting option 304 of the "township" is again designated as "try to avoid", so that the control processing unit 104 reduces the weight of the previous road section with the weight reduced to 20%, and again reduces the weight by 50%, resulting in 10%. The weights are updated so that the processing unit 104 again plans the preference path.

第七圖提供另一種導航路徑規劃方法實施例的流程圖。當使用者希望導航系統10以使用者偏好的道路類型重新規劃路徑時,可從出發地到目的地間各個候選路段中,選取至少一路段為指定路段,並分別輸入各指定路段所對應的一權重選項(S701)。例如:若使用介面106已顯示由處理單元104根據預設的演算法規劃的建議路徑時,可從使用介面106所顯示路段畫面中選擇特定路段作為指定路段。或是使用者不透過處理單元104提供建議路徑,而直接輸入路段資料以決定指定路段,讓處理單元104可直接根據道路類型進行道路規劃。The seventh figure provides a flow chart of another embodiment of a navigation path planning method. When the user wants the navigation system 10 to re-route the path with the user's preferred road type, at least one of the candidate road segments from the departure point to the destination may be selected as the designated road segment, and one corresponding to each designated road segment is input. Weight option (S701). For example, if the user interface 106 has displayed the suggested path planned by the processing unit 104 according to the preset algorithm, a specific road segment may be selected from the road segment displayed by the use interface 106 as the designated road segment. Alternatively, the user does not provide the suggested path through the processing unit 104, but directly inputs the link data to determine the designated road segment, so that the processing unit 104 can directly perform road planning according to the road type.

處理單元104讀取地圖資料庫102之路段資料,以辨識出指定路段所屬的道路類型後(S703),可用該指定路段的權重選項,調整屬於相同道路類型的各候選路段,以產生各候選路段的一更新權重(S705)。The processing unit 104 reads the road segment data of the map database 102 to identify the road type to which the specified road segment belongs (S703), and can adjust each candidate road segment belonging to the same road type by using the weight option of the specified road segment to generate each candidate road segment. An update weight (S705).

其中,指定路段可能同時屬於多個道路類型,處理單元104對候選路段進行權重調整時,係可對與指定路段的其中任一種道路類型相符的候選路段進行調整。而若同一候選路段所屬的多個道路類型都與指定路段的道路類型相同、且所對應的權重選項亦同為提升權重比例、或同為降低權重比例時,處理單元104可以對該候選路段的權重僅進行一次調整。The designated road segment may belong to multiple road types at the same time. When the processing unit 104 performs weight adjustment on the candidate road segment, the candidate road segment that matches any one of the specified road segments may be adjusted. If the multiple road types to which the same candidate segment belongs are the same as the road type of the specified road segment, and the corresponding weight option is also the weighting ratio, or the weighting ratio, the processing unit 104 may The weight is only adjusted once.

待連接出發地及目的地間的各候選路段的權重經過更新後,處理單元104再依照各候選路段的更新權重重新規劃一偏好路徑(S707)。由於各候選路段的權重係根據使用者所喜好的道路類型而增加權重、或根據使用者的偏惡而降低權重,因此,處理單元104根據更新權重所規劃的偏好路徑,可增加使用者所偏好的道路類型出現的機率,以及降低使用者所不欲行經的道路類型出現的機率。After the weights of the candidate road segments to be connected between the departure point and the destination are updated, the processing unit 104 re-plans a preference path according to the update weight of each candidate road segment (S707). Since the weight of each candidate road segment is increased according to the type of road preferred by the user, or the weight is reduced according to the user's bias, the processing unit 104 may increase the preference of the user according to the preferred preference path updated by the update weight. The probability of a road type appearing, as well as the chance of reducing the type of road that the user does not want to travel.

處理單元104可配合地圖資訊將偏好路徑輸出到使用介面106(S709),以引導使用者根據偏好路徑行進。The processing unit 104 may output the preference path to the usage interface 106 in conjunction with the map information (S709) to guide the user to travel according to the preference path.

藉由上述各實施例與相對應的表格及圖式之說明,本發明已揭露一種可針對不同的道路類型進行路徑規劃的導航路徑規劃系統及方法。本發明係可根據使用者對不同道路類型的偏好程度,將可連接出發地到目的地之間的各候選路段,依照對應之道路類型變更該等候選路段的權重,使導航引擎所規劃出的路徑更貼近使用者的駕駛或行走習慣。Through the above embodiments and the corresponding tables and drawings, the present invention has disclosed a navigation path planning system and method that can perform path planning for different road types. The invention can change the weights of the candidate road segments according to the corresponding road type according to the degree of preference of the user to different road types, so that the navigation engine plans the The path is closer to the user's driving or walking habits.

藉由本發明所提供的導航路徑規劃系統及方法,提供更彈性且靈活的導航服務,讓使用者可依據駕駛或行走當時的交通狀況、或是駕駛人對駕駛技術或道路類型的掌握度,自行決定是否依最短路徑行進以節省時間、或是選擇幹道以外的路徑(如窄路、巷弄)以避開壅塞的車潮、或是選擇避開不熟悉的道路類型以增加駕駛的安全性。相較於習知的導航系統只能提供最短路徑、儘量走高速公路、或避開收費站等有限制的導航選項,本發明更能符合使用者的使用習慣及需求。The navigation path planning system and method provided by the present invention provide a more flexible and flexible navigation service, allowing the user to self-control according to the traffic situation at the time of driving or walking, or the driver's mastery of driving technology or road type. Decide whether to travel on the shortest path to save time, or choose a path other than the main road (such as narrow roads, lanes) to avoid the congestion of the congestion, or choose to avoid unfamiliar road types to increase the safety of driving. Compared with the conventional navigation system, which can only provide the shortest path, take the highway as much as possible, or avoid the limited navigation options such as toll stations, the present invention can better meet the user's usage habits and needs.
