Description

导航终端和导航方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种导航终端和导航方法, 且特别涉及一种无需计算最佳路 径, 根据目的地周围、 到目的地途中的关键区域或关键点的导航数据便能导 航到目的地的导航终端和导航方法。 背景技术
现有的导航技术是一种基于卫星定位的导航技术, 它将卫星定位系统与 移动终端相结合, 不仅可以为用户提供经度、 纬度等的定位信息, 也可以为 用户提供更加直观的导航帮助, 引导用户到达目的地, 方便人们的出行。 导 航终端按照导航地图的数据, 为用户提供道路搜索, 目的地定位、 路线规划、 测距、 导航以及语音导航等功能。 导航终端中的导航地图是从地图提供商处 获得, 并内置于导航终端的存储介质中, 用户需要定期通过导航数据提供商 来进行导航数据的更新, 以维持导航终端导航的准确性。 这种地图的定期更 新给用户使用带来了不便, 同时也影响了导航市场应有的快速发展。
网络导航是一种新的导航技术, 由于其地图是在互联网上的, 因此, 可 以方便维护, 使其反映最新的城市发展状况, 并且可以让用户随时分享到最 新的地图数据等。 但是, 由于现有的导航技术的核心是最佳路径算法, 而最 佳路径的计算需要确定起始点与目的地, 当用户脱离原先算好的最佳路径时, 又需要重新计算新的最佳路径。 因此, 将最佳路径算法结合到网络导航上后, 导航地图不在导航终端上而在互联网上, 重新计算最佳路径时, 需将导航终 端的当前位置 (作为起始点) 上传到网络, 由网络进行最佳路径的计算。 由 于网络传输的时延、 网络阻塞以及最佳路径的计算又颇耗费计算机时间等问 题, 新计算的最佳路径不能及时传回导航终端, 使得现有导航方法很难实际 应用到网络导航中去, 并且, 为了计算最佳路径需要布署大量的服务器, 也 会增加应用成本。 发明内容
本发明针对现有导航技术中的缺陷, 提供了一种导航终端和导航方法, 无需计算最佳路径, 设定好目的地后, 不论用户的起始位置在哪, 从哪个方 向去, 都同样能引导用户到达目的地。
为实现上述目的, 本发明实施例提供了一种导航终端, 包括获取所述导 航终端的当前定位坐标的位置信息获取模块, 还包括导航数据存储模块、 导 航控制模块以及导航信息输出模块, 其中,
所述导航数据存储模块, 用于保存获取的与目的地相关的导航数据, 所 述导航数据包括车辆导航数据和 /或步行导航数据;
所述导航控制模块, 与所述位置信息获取模块和所述导航数据存储模块 相连, 用于从所述导航数据存储模块获取所述导航数据, 并根据设定的目的 地和所述位置信息获取模块获取到的所述当前定位坐标, 判断所述导航终端 是否进入所述导航数据所指示的范围内;
所述导航信息输出模块, 与所述导航控制模块相连, 用于若所述导航控 制模块的判断结果为所述导航终端进入所述导航数据所指示的范围内, 则将 所述导航数据转换为导航信息输出, 以供用户从输出的所述当前定位坐标到 所述目的地间的一种或多种到达方式中进行选择。
为了实现上述目的, 本发明实施例还提供了一种导航方法, 具体包括以 下步驟:
获取导航终端的当前定位坐标;
获取与目的地相关的导航数据, 所述导航数据包括车辆导航数据和 /或步 行导航数据;
根据设定的所述目的地和所述当前定位坐标, 判断所述导航终端是否进 入所述导航数据所指示的范围内; 若所述导航终端进入所述导航数据所指示的范围内, 则将所述导航数据 转换为导航信息输出, 以供用户从输出的所述当前定位坐标到所述目的地间 的一种或多种到达方式中进行选择。
与现有的导航方法提供一条线状的最佳路径不同, 本发明实施例提供的 导航终端和导航方法, 能够仅依据获取的与目的地相关的导航数据, 无需进 行最佳路径计算, 便能实现导航。 本发明适用于网络导航; 并且, 获取到的 导航数据是 "面状"数据, 即导航数据中包括从各个方向通往目的地的道路, 从而使得导航终端的使用者可以根据当前的路况进行选择行驶, 避免了现有 导航技术中仅能够给出单一的最优路线计算结果, 而在突发交通状况下不能 及时给予应急提示的缺陷, 为导航终端的使用者提供更加灵活的导航。 附图说明
