And a moving path screen providing step (S600) for providing the searched moving path screen to the bottom surface of the navigation terminal.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the navigation guidance system and method using a virtual address according to the present invention will be described in detail.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the navigation guidance system using the virtual address of the present invention includes a customer terminal 100, a virtual address management means 200, and a navigation terminal 300.

The customer terminal 100 is connected through a virtual address management means and a wired or wireless communication network, and receives input page information for registering a virtual address from the virtual address management means, wherein the customer terminal displays the input page information on the screen. In this way, the customer enters address information and desired virtual address information.

On the other hand, the page can be configured to receive the customer's personal information in addition to the above information.

At this time, the inputted address information and the desired virtual address information are provided to the virtual address management means.

For example, the address information of the input information refers to the actual address information of the customer, and may be, for example, "Cheongwa-daero 1 Jongno-gu, Seoul" and the like, and the personal information may include basic information such as a contact information, a name, a password, and the like. It may include.

The desired virtual address means virtual address information to replace the actual address.

For example, when the virtual address information is applied to the Blue House and registered, the customer uses the Blue House instead of the customer's actual address ("Cheongwa-daero 1, Jongno-gu, Seoul") when entering the destination address in the navigation terminal.

That is, when inputting a destination address, the virtual address information, Cheongwadae, is used instead of Cheongwa-daero 1, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

As described above, the customer is registered with the virtual address to replace the actual address by providing the actual address information and the desired virtual address information to the virtual address management means through the customer terminal.

The present invention is characterized by using the registered virtual address in the navigation guide system instead of the actual address of the customer.

The virtual address management means 200 is configured to include a virtual address DB for storing information including the actual address information of the customer and the virtual address information matched thereto.

That is, the virtual address DB stores and manages the information including the real address provided by the customer and the virtual address information in a matching table format.

On the other hand, the virtual address management means 200 determines whether the desired virtual address information provided from the customer terminal is registerable information, and if the information is registerable, the information is registered and stored in the virtual address DB by matching the address information, and the customer terminal Notifies the registered virtual address information, and when the virtual address conversion request signal from the navigation terminal to obtain the requested virtual address information to the actual address information, and provides the converted actual address information to the navigation terminal.

The conversion to the real address information means that the real address information matched with the virtual address information is extracted from the virtual address DB.

When the customer provides the real address information and the desired virtual address information to register the virtual address through the customer terminal, the virtual address management means determines whether the virtual address information desired to be registered can be registered.

The determination of whether or not the registration is possible is to determine whether virtual address information identical to the requested virtual address information is already registered.

For example, if someone has already registered a virtual address called Cheong Wa Dae, it is determined that it cannot be used. If the virtual address called Cheong Wa Dae is not registered, it is determined that it can be registered.

If the virtual address called Cheong Wa Dae is registered indiscriminately, since there are a large number of real addresses matched with the Cheong Wa Dae at the time of the actual navigation service, the user may cause confusion.

If the requested virtual address information is not already registered, the virtual address management means notifies that the virtual address can be used as a customer terminal, and the customer can use the applied virtual address for navigation guidance service.

In addition, it is natural to configure the customer to access the virtual address management means to check what is the virtual address registered by the customer.

Meanwhile, when the terminal 300 obtains the virtual address information from the driver, the navigation terminal 300 transmits a virtual address translation request signal for acquiring the actual address information for the virtual address to the virtual address management means, and manages the virtual address. The search for the movement route is performed using the actual address information provided by the means.

As shown in FIG. 2, the virtual address management means 200 includes a virtual address registration unit 210, a virtual address DB 220, a real address information providing unit 230, and a communication unit 240. .

The virtual address registration unit 210 determines whether the desired virtual address information is a registerable virtual address by using the real address information, the desired virtual address information, etc. provided from the customer terminal, and if the register is a registerable virtual address, registers the virtual address DB. Save it.

In addition, the virtual address registration unit 210 provides the information to the customer terminal through the communication unit 240 that the requested virtual address information is registered.

The determination of whether the registerable virtual address is to determine whether the requested virtual address information is identical to the registered virtual address information. If there is already registered virtual address information identical to the requested virtual address information, registration is impossible. If there is no registered virtual address information, it is determined that registration is possible.

The virtual address DB 220 stores and manages the virtual address information determined to be registerable by the virtual address registration unit in the form of a matching table in the form of personal information-real address information-virtual address information for each customer.

The real address information providing unit 230 converts the requested virtual address information into real address information when the virtual address conversion request signal is obtained from the navigation terminal, and converts the converted real address information through the communication unit 240 to the navigation terminal. To be provided.

The conversion of the virtual address information into the real address is performed by extracting the real address information matched to the virtual address by using the matching table information stored in the virtual address DB.

For example, when the requested virtual address information is "Cheong Wa Dae", the virtual address DB is searched for what is the actual address matched with the Cheong Wa Dae, and the actual address information "1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul" is extracted.

The communication unit 240 is connected to a customer terminal and a navigation terminal through a wired or wireless communication network, and performs a function of transmitting and receiving various information generated by the virtual address management means or an external request signal.

3 is a block diagram of a navigation terminal of the navigation guidance system using a virtual address according to an embodiment of the present invention.

It is configured to include a screen providing unit 350.

The virtual address information acquisition unit 310 obtains the virtual address information input in the destination address input window.

When the user (operator) operates the navigation, the user inputs a character string for inputting an address in the address input window. In this case, when the address is input in the address input window, the virtual address is entered instead of the actual address.

Then, the virtual address information acquisition unit extracts the virtual address information.

In the above example, the user inputs a destination address by inputting a character string.

In the case of voice recognition navigation, the destination can be input by voice. In this case, the destination input by voice also inputs simple virtual address information by voice instead of long real address information.

Thereafter, the virtual address translation request unit 320 transmits a virtual address translation request signal for converting the virtual address information obtained by the virtual address information acquisition unit into the actual address information to the virtual address management means.

Then, the real address information acquisition unit 330 obtains the real address information provided by the virtual address management means,

The address search unit 340 searches for a movement route by using map information stored in a memory configured in a navigation terminal using the actual address information.

Thereafter, the route screen providing unit 350 provides the user with road guidance information by providing the user with the moving route searched by the address search unit through the screen.

As shown in Figure 4, the present invention navigation method using a virtual address, virtual address registration request step (S100), virtual address registration step (S200), virtual address translation request step (S300), actual address information providing step (S400), an address search execution step (S500), and a moving path screen providing step (S600).

Navigation guide method using a virtual address according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to Figure 4 to 5,

And a moving path screen providing step S600 for providing the searched moving path information to the navigation terminal screen.

The customer terminal receives input page information for registering a virtual address from the virtual address management means.

After that, the corresponding input page information is displayed on the screen, and the actual address information and the virtual address information to be registered are input to the corresponding input page.

Subsequently, by providing the input information (real address information, virtual address information desired to be registered, etc.) to the virtual address management means, the virtual address registration is requested (S100).

Subsequently, the virtual address management means 200 determines whether the virtual address information requested for registration is registerable information, and if the registerable virtual address information matches the virtual address information with real address information, registers and stores it in the virtual address DB. It is made (S200).

Thereafter, when the navigation terminal 300 obtains the virtual address information from the driver, the navigation terminal 300 transmits a virtual address translation request signal for acquiring the actual address information for the virtual address to the virtual address management means (S300).

That is, the navigation terminal needs the actual address information to search for the movement route to the destination, and the navigation route cannot be searched using only the input virtual address information. In other words, real address information is required.

Since it is not possible to know what the actual address information as described above is to transmit a request signal to convert the virtual address information input to the virtual address management means to the actual address information.

Thereafter, the virtual address management means 200 converts the requested virtual address information into real address information and provides the converted real address information to the corresponding navigation terminal (S400).

Then, the navigation terminal 300 executes the navigation search using the actual address information provided by the virtual address management means (S500), and provides the searched travel path information on the screen (S600). The user receives the directions using the movement route information provided through the screen.

The customer terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention can communicate with the virtual address management means through the communication network and voice communication or message such as SMS (Short Message Service) or MMS (Multi-Message Service), the virtual address management through the communication network Any terminal may be connected to the means to perform a virtual address registration task and may apply for a virtual address navigation service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, the navigation terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is to perform a movement route search using the actual address information provided by the virtual address management means and to provide the searched movement route information on the screen, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, it may be any terminal that can provide a virtual address navigation guidance service.

According to the configuration and operation as described above, the destination address on the navigation terminal can be input using the simple virtual address information registered by the customer in the virtual address management means rather than the actual address, and then the real address provided by the virtual address management means. By performing the navigation search using the information, it is possible to shorten the time for inputting a long address in the navigation terminal one by one and to remove the inconvenience of using the convenient virtual address input.

Meanwhile, the above-described method according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may be stored in a computer-readable recording medium that is produced as a program to be executed in a computer.
