For example, the electronic device may be a portable electronic device. As another example, the electronic device may be a car system (or an infotainment system) that is mounted in an automobile and is operatively coupled to control devices in the vehicle.

The navigation system 430 is a system operated by a service provider that provides a navigation service. The navigation system 430 obtains information related to a map and information related to traffic. In addition, the navigation system 430 may obtain the hot zone service information 411 and the cell information 413 from the mobile communication system 410.

The third user 503 may select an upload service. For example, the electronic device 120 may transmit and receive vehicle sensor data for collecting information. If the electronic device 120 provides a smooth uploading environment for data in cell # 8 (eg, the upload speed is more than 10 times faster than a normal cell), then the management device 130 determines that the electronic device 120 passes from cell # 1 to cell # 8. The second path 520 can be set to arrive at cell # 6.

Data on characteristics of the sections for constructing the service path may be collected. By establishing a database related to the characteristics of the sections, a service path according to a specific purpose may be provided. In FIG. 5B, an example in which the service path is changed according to an operation mode according to the purpose is described. Hereinafter, an operation mode is described as being determined through an input on a user's electronic device or selected as an operation mode, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The operation mode may be determined by the electronic device according to a predetermined algorithm or user information.

Referring to FIG. 5B, the electronic device 120 may move from cell # 1 to cell # 6. The electronic device 120 may use a navigation service to move from cell # 1 to cell # 6. The management device (not shown) may obtain movement information (origin: cell # 1 destination: cell # 6) of the electronic device 120. The management device may receive information on a service, that is, service information, to be provided by the electronic device 120 while moving. The management device may determine the path based on the movement information and the service information. Hereinafter, an example in which the different paths are determined by selecting the different operation modes of the fourth user 504, the fifth user 505, and the sixth user 506 will be described.

The fourth user 504 can select a fast mode. The management device may provide the electronic device 120 with a route for moving the fastest from the starting point to the destination.

It may include a speed limit prescribed in the section, information on the vehicle density of the section. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device may identify the fourth path 540 as the path that takes the shortest time among the plurality of candidate paths connecting the starting point to the destination based on the statistical information on the movement speed for each section. The management device may set the fourth path 540 such that the electronic device 120 arrives at cell # 6 via cell # 4 at cell # 1. The management device may set the identified fourth path 540 as a service path and provide the set path information to the electronic device 120. The fourth route 540 may be referred to as a fastest route.

The management device may receive HD map information on the navigation system. The management device may generate the fastest route including the lane information and the speed information. The management device may generate lane information indicating a specific lane among the lanes on the fastest route and speed information indicating a speed recommended in the specific lane. The management device can provide the generated lane information and the speed information to the electronic device 120. The electronic device 120 may display lane information and speed information according to the fastest route on the HD map information of the navigation system. In this case, the electronic device 120 may provide driving information (eg, a road guide from a starting point to a destination) for the fastest route to the user along with the lane information and the speed information.

The fifth user 505 may select a fuel consumption mode. The management device may provide the electronic device 120 with a route in which fuel efficiency is considered when moving from the starting point to the destination. The management device can search for the most efficient route using fuel economy information. The fuel efficiency information may include statistical information on fuel economy by section, fuel economy information in a corresponding section for each vehicle type, and road information (eg, presence or absence of a traffic light or crosswalk) in the corresponding section. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device is a path that consumes the least fuel as a distance (ie, the fuel economy is the best) among a plurality of candidate paths connecting the starting point to the destination based on the statistical information on the fuel efficiency of each section. The fifth path 550 can be identified. The management device may set the fifth path 550 such that the electronic device 120 arrives at cell # 6 via cell # 2 and cell # 5 in cell # 1. The fifth route 550 may be referred to as an eco route. On the other hand, the management device may identify the echo path so as to avoid the section in which the fuel is more than the threshold value or the most of the target sections among the plurality of routes. For example, the management device may set the fifth path 550 not including cell # 3 to bypass the section A, which consumes a lot of fuel compared to the distance.

The management device may receive HD map information on the navigation system. The management device may generate an echo path including lane information and speed information. The management device may generate lane information indicating a specific lane among the lanes on the echo path and speed information indicating a speed recommended in the specific lane. The management device can provide the generated lane information and the speed information to the electronic device 120. The electronic device 120 may display lane information and speed information according to the echo path on the HD map information of the navigation system. In this case, the electronic device 120 may provide driving information (eg, a road guide from a starting point to a destination) for the echo path to the user along with the lane information and the speed information.

The sixth user 506 can select a safe mode. The management device may provide the electronic device 120 with a route based on information related to an accident when moving from a departure point to a destination. Here, the information related to the accident may include information about the accident occurrence rate, information about the type of accident, information about the degree of accident. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device may set the sixth route 560 to bypass section B including a section in which an accident occurrence rate is higher than a threshold value among the plurality of routes. For example, when the electronic device 120 selects the safe mode, the management device may set a sixth path 560 not including cell # 5 in order to avoid a section B in which an accident occurrence rate is higher than a threshold. The management device may set a sixth path 560 so that the electronic device 120 arrives at cell # 6 via cell # 4, cell # 7, cell # 8, and cell # 9.

According to another embodiment, the management device may set the sixth route 560 to bypass the section having the highest accident occurrence rate among the plurality of routes. For example, when the electronic device 120 selects a safe mode, the management device may set a sixth path 560 that does not include cell # 5 to avoid a section B having the highest accident rate. The management device may set a sixth path 560 so that the electronic device 120 arrives at cell # 6 via cell # 4, cell # 7, cell # 8, and cell # 9. The sixth route 560 may be referred to as a safety route.

According to another embodiment, the management device may determine a representative value of the accident occurrence rate for each of the plurality of candidate paths connecting the starting point to the destination based on the information about the accident occurrence rate. The representative value may be an average of accident incidence rates for each of the sections in the path or a maximum value of accident incidence rates for each of the sections. The management device may set the sixth path 560 as the path having the lowest representative value of the accident occurrence rate among the plurality of candidate paths.

The management device may receive HD map information on the navigation system. The management device may generate a safety route including lane information and speed information. The management device may generate lane information indicating a specific lane among lanes on the safety path and speed information indicating a speed recommended in the specific lane. The management device can provide the generated lane information and the speed information to the electronic device 120. The electronic device 120 may display lane information and speed information according to the safety route on the HD map information of the navigation system. In this case, the electronic device 120 may provide driving information (eg, a road guide from a departure point to a destination) for the safety route together with the lane information and the speed information.

In FIG. 5B, an operation of generating lane information and speed information and providing the generated information to the electronic device when the HD map information is received is described as an example. However, the present disclosure is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the management device may provide only information on a specific lane among the lanes of the corresponding path. Also, for example, the management device may provide only speed information on the corresponding route without lane information. In this case, the speed information may include speed information for each of the lanes of the path.

In FIG. 5B, each of the high speed mode, the fuel economy mode, and the safety mode has been described as an example, but of course, other operation modes considering the characteristics of each section may be additionally considered. Also, according to various embodiments, two or more modes may be combined. The management device may apply weights according to characteristics (eg, speed, fuel economy, accident occurrence rate) according to the operation mode. The management device may set, as a service path, a path having the highest sum of weighted values for each property among a plurality of paths from a source to a destination. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a new operation mode may be defined according to a combination of weights for each characteristic. Here, the operation mode may correspond to a specific service. In other words, a combination of predetermined weights may be mapped for each service. Such mapping information may be stored in a service layer unit in a navigation server or a server providing a service.

In FIG. 5B, a geographic area classified as a cell is described as an example of a section for managing characteristics, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the section for each path may be a concept included in a cell or a concept including a cell. Also, for example, each section may be distinguished according to a physical range managed in a block or a database distinguished on a map.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a management device for providing a path according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 6 illustrates a method of operating the management device 130.

Referring to FIG. 6, in operation 601, the management device may receive service information. The management device may receive service information from the electronic device. The service information refers to information that is set or predetermined by the electronic device so as to set a path (service path) for the electronic device to receive a smooth service. That is, the service information may include information regarding user requirements.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the service information may include information about a mode selected by the user. Here, the mode is specified depending on which parameter is set to a high weight to provide a service in determining the path. The parameter may be determined based on at least one of rate, real-time, or speed.

In addition, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the service information may include information about an operation mode of the electronic device. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation mode may be specified according to which one of the characteristics of each section or more weight is given to the characteristic for path identification for a specific purpose. For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 5B, the characteristics for each section may include a vehicle speed, fuel efficiency for each section, and an accident occurrence rate for each section in the section. The operation mode may include a high speed mode, a fuel consumption mode, and a safety mode.

In addition, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the service information may include information about the configuration of the electronic device. For example, if the electronic device includes a display and the service is a video service, the service information may include information about the size of the display (eg 5 x 10 inch) and the resolution (eg 4K, 8K, or UHD). Can be.

In addition, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the service information may include an allowable range. Here, the allowable range means a range of different degrees of different paths from the reference path. For example, the acceptable range can be expressed as a time limit. The time limit value means the allowable excess time from the shortest time when the shortest path from the origin to the destination is the default route. When searching for a route other than the basic route, the other route is limited to a route whose driving time does not exceed the allowable excess time. Also, for example, the acceptable range can be expressed as a quality threshold.

In operation 603, the management device may receive cell information. The cell information is information related to cells according to a cellular communication system, and may include not only cell arrangement information related to each cell location but also information about a real time capacity / usage / status in a hot zone. The management device may receive cell information about the mobile communication system of the mobile communication operator. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, for determining a path according to a real-time cell situation, the management device may periodically receive cell information from a mobile communication provider. For example, the management device may periodically receive cell information from the server of the mobile communication operator. As another example, the management device may receive cell information when an event occurs (eg, information change).

In operation 605, the management device may determine a path based on the service information and the cell information. The route may be referred to as a service route or a hot zone-based route for providing a service. The hot zone based path refers to a path including a hot zone. The management device may determine paths based on the service information and the cell information.

The management device may acquire a type of a service provided to the electronic device based on the service information. In addition, the management device may acquire the amount of data or channel capacity required to provide the service based on the service information and the predefined information. In addition, the management device may obtain channel capacity for paths necessary for providing a service. According to an embodiment, the channel capacity for providing a service may be determined according to the number of hot zones. The management device may search for paths according to an allowable range and determine a service path from among the determined determined paths as a service path.

For example, the management device can identify the predefined information according to the mode, which is obtained by the service information. Here, the predefined information means information for determining the amount of data required to provide a service per unit time according to the selected mode. The predefined information may include a data rate required to provide a seamless service. The data rate may be defined in the form of data required amount per unit time according to the display size and resolution of the electronic device. For example, in a situation where a 4K UHD movie file having a running time of 2 hours or more is 18 gigabytes (Gbytes) (= 144 gigabit), an electronic device needs a data rate of 20 Mbps to constantly watch the movie file. It is defined to be. Assuming that the maximum processing capacity per LTE base station is about 30 Mbps, it is difficult for the LTE base station to theoretically serve two or more electronic devices. In particular, since cellular networks are widely used by ordinary smartphone users, provision of a movie service may be more difficult. However, since the hot zone of the present disclosure can theoretically download data at 20 Gbps, the electronic device can successfully receive the movie file by way of a path including the hot zone.

The management device can obtain predefined information for path generation. The management device may determine a moving path from the starting point to the destination from the predefined information. Each route from the origin to the destination can be subdivided into a plurality of sections. The predefined information may include information about characteristics of each section. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device may acquire predefined information for generating a path according to the operation mode acquired in step 601. For example, in the safe mode, the management device may receive accident occurrence rate information for each section. For another example, in the fuel consumption mode, the management device may receive information about fuel efficiency for each section.

In operation 607, the management device may provide route information. The management device may provide path information on the service path. Here, the path information is information for identifying a path, and the management device may include information about a location including a hot zone, physical information of the path, total estimated time required, lanes, speed, and the like. In addition, the route information is information for transmitting the route to the user, the management device not only driving information (for example, providing a route image on the display, route guidance by voice), but also information about hot zones located around the route, and arrives when using the route. Time and the like can be provided to the electronic device.

7A is a flowchart of a management device for determining a route according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 7A illustrates a method of operating the management device 130. 7A illustrates

steps

605 and 607 of FIG. 6.

Referring to FIG. 7A, in operation 701, the management device may set a default path. The default path may be determined according to a user setting of the electronic device or may be determined according to a predetermined rule. For example, the basic route may be determined as the route having the shortest distance.

In operation 703, the management device may determine whether to provide a service to the electronic device using the default path. The determination of whether to provide a service along a path is determined based on whether cells on the path can provide a service to an electronic device while the user requirement for the service is satisfied. For example, the management device may determine whether to provide a service for the path by comparing the required data amount corresponding to the user requirement with the amount of data that can be received while driving on the basic path. If the service is not available using the default path, the management device may perform step 705. If the service can be provided using the default path, the management device may perform step 711.

In operation 705, the management device may set a path via the hot zone closest to the shortest path. The management device can identify the hot zone closest to the shortest distance. The management device can identify a path that includes the identified hot zone. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device may set the identified path. According to another embodiment, the management device may determine whether the identified path is a path that satisfies the allowable range defined in step 601 of FIG. 6. The management device may set the identified path if the identified path satisfies the allowable range. For example, the acceptable range can be determined by an absolute value. For example, the management device may set each of the routes having a driving time within a time that is more than 5 minutes longer than the driving time according to the basic route. The management device may search for a route including a hot zone that can be serviced within a 'time required of the basic route + 5 minutes'. In another example, the acceptable range can be determined by a relative value. For example, the management device may set each of the paths having a travel time within 10% more than the travel time according to the basic route. If the required time for the basic route is 10 minutes, the management apparatus can search for a route including a hot zone that can be serviced within 11 minutes.

In operation 707, the management device may determine whether the service can be provided to the electronic device using the set path. The management device may determine whether the cells provide the amount of data that can be provided to the electronic device on at least one path that is different from the default path, that is, the default path and including the hot zone. Since the determination operation of step 707 is equally applicable to the determination operation of step 703, a detailed description of the overlapping configuration is omitted. If the service cannot be provided to the electronic device using the set path, the management device may perform step 709. If the service can be provided to the electronic device using the set path, the management device may perform step 711.

In operation 709, the management device may set a path including a hot zone next to the shortest path. The management device may identify a path that includes the next hot zone next to the shortest path because the hot zone closest to the shortest path does not meet the user requirements for the service. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device may set the identified path. According to another embodiment, the management device determines whether the identified path is a path that satisfies the allowable range, such as the allowable range of step 705, and sets the identified path when the identified path satisfies the allowable range. Can be.

In operation 711, the management device may provide a set path. The management device can provide the electronic device with path information of the set path. Accordingly, the electronic device may display the set path.

In FIG. 7A, the hot zone closest to the shortest path may be determined in various ways. In some embodiments, the hot zone having the shortest straight line distance from the spot of the hot zone to the shortest path may be determined as the hot zone closest to the shortest path. In some other embodiments, among the N hot zones (N is an integer) in the order of the shortest linear distance from the hot zone to the shortest path, the hot zone having the shortest travel time of the path including the hot zone is determined. It may be determined as the hot zone closest to the shortest path. Here, N may be fixed or adaptively adjusted. For example, if N is adaptively adjusted, N may be determined according to the required rate, tolerance, or distance from the source to the destination.

According to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 7A, a path including a serviceable hot zone may be provided. In this case, according to the requirements of the service, a path capable of providing a service may be determined and provided for a part of the entire path. Alternatively, the serviceable path may be determined and provided for each of the partial paths obtained by dividing the entire path. In this case, requirements (eg, data rates) required for each of the partial paths may be the same or different.

Although not shown in FIG. 7A, the management device may determine that a service cannot be provided to the electronic device when a specific condition is satisfied. At this time, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device may provide a basic path (eg, a shortest path and a previously set path). Since the management apparatus cannot service the hot zone, the management apparatus can provide a default path regardless of service availability. In addition, the management device may additionally transmit a message indicating that service is not available to the electronic device.

7B is a flowchart illustrating another management apparatus for determining a route according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 7B illustrates an operation method of the management device 130. FIG. 7B illustrates

steps

605 and 607 of FIG. 6.

Referring to FIG. 7B, in operation 751, the management device may set a default path. Description of step 751 corresponds to step 701 of FIG. 7A, and thus a detailed description of the overlapping configuration will be omitted.

In operation 753, the management device may determine whether to provide a service to the electronic device using the default path. Since the description of step 753 corresponds to step 703 of FIG. 7A, a detailed description of the overlapping configuration is omitted. If the service cannot be provided using the default path, the management device performs step 755. If the service can be provided using the default route, the management device performs step 763.

In operation 755, the management device may set a search path. The search path is a path different from the default path, and means a candidate path for determining whether a service is available. Since the management device cannot provide a path for a service to the electronic device using the default path, the management device may search for at least one other path. The management device may set a search path as a path that satisfies the allowable range. Since the description of the allowable range corresponds to step 705 of FIG. 7A, a detailed description of the overlapping configuration is omitted.

In operation 757, the management device may determine whether to provide a service to the electronic device using the search path. Since the description of step 757 corresponds to step 707 of FIG. 7A, a detailed description of the overlapping configuration is omitted. If the service cannot be provided using the search path, the management device performs step 759. If the service can be provided using the search path, the management device performs step 763.

In operation 759, the management device may additionally set a search path to determine whether additional search is possible. Here, the additional search means whether there is a search path that can be additionally set in addition to the path searched in step 755 within a degree different from the basic path, that is, the allowable range. For example, when the time limit value of the allowable range is 15 minutes, the management device may set the search path within the required time of the basic path + within 10 minutes. Subsequently, when performing step 755 again in the cycle, the management device may set the search path within the required time of the basic path + 15 minutes. That is, the management device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may search for a hot zone based path by setting a range of a search path step by step within an allowable range. For another example, when the allowable range is set to a relative value (eg, a ratio), the management device may set the search path at 'within time x (100 + 20)% of the basic path'. The management device may set the ratio step by step to retrieve the hot zone based path. If further discovery is possible, the management device performs step 755 again. If further discovery is not possible, the management device performs step 761.

In operation 761, the management device may provide a default path. The management device may determine that it cannot provide a service to the electronic device. The management device may provide a default route (eg, the shortest route, a previously set route). That is, since the management apparatus cannot service by the hot zone, the management apparatus can provide a basic path regardless of service availability. Although not shown in FIG. 7B, the management device may additionally transmit a message indicating that service is not available to the electronic device.

In operation 763, the management device may provide a set path. The management apparatus may identify the service path based on a specific criterion (eg, time) among the plurality of paths when the set number of search paths is plural. For example, the management device may identify a path having the shortest time required among the plurality of paths as a service path. The management device can provide the identified path.

Referring to FIG. 7C, in operation 771, the management device may set a default path. The default path may be determined according to a user setting of the electronic device or may be determined according to a predetermined rule. For example, the basic route may be determined as the route having the shortest distance. In another example, the basic route may be determined as the route that can be traveled fastest from the starting point to the destination. In this case, as described above with reference to FIG. 5B, the management device may set a basic path based on the information related to the movement speed for each section.

In operation 773, the management device may determine whether the default path is a safe path. The management device may use the database to determine whether the default path is a safe path. The route from the origin to the destination can be broken down into a plurality of sections. The database may include at least one characteristic for each of the sections. Such a database may be provided in a management device or a server accessible from the management device. Here, the at least one characteristic may include information related to the accident. The information related to the accident may include information about the occurrence rate of the accident, information on the type of accident, information about the degree of the accident, and the like.

The information on the occurrence rate of the accident, for example, the information on the occurrence rate of the accident may include the occurrence rate of the time zone. Also, for example, the information about the accident occurrence rate may include an accident occurrence rate according to the weather. Depending on whether it is raining or snowing, or if the weather is clear, accident rates may vary in the same section. Also, for example, the information about the accident occurrence rate may include an accident occurrence rate according to a day of a specific event. For example, a specific event may mean a holiday period (eg, Chuseok, New Year's Day) or a weekend period.

The information on the type of accident may include at least one of a target of damage and a type of accident vehicle. For example, the information about the type of accident may indicate whether it is a person-to-car accident or a collision between cars. Alternatively, the information on the type of accident may indicate the type of vehicle causing the accident (eg, a car, a bus, a van, etc.).

Information about the extent of the accident can indicate the extent of financial or human damage. For example, information about the extent of the accident may include the number of deaths. Also, for example, the information according to the degree of accident may include the number of injured people. In addition, for example, the information according to the degree of accident may include the level information determined according to the number of deaths, the number of injured persons, negligence, the amount of economic damage due to the accident.

The management device may determine whether each set path is a safe path. The condition for determining whether the path is a safe path may be referred to as a safe path. The management device may determine whether the safety condition is satisfied among the paths from the origin to the destination. The management device may determine the path where the safety condition is satisfied as the safety path.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device may determine, as a safety route, a route that does not include a section that is an accident occurrence rate that is greater than or equal to a threshold value among sections associated with a geographic location from a departure point to a destination. In other words, the management device can identify a safety route to bypass where the accident rate is high. If the default route is not the safe route, the management device performs step 775. If the default route is the safe route, the management device performs step 783.

In operation 775, the management device may set a search path. The search path refers to a candidate path for determining whether a path different from the default path is a safe path. Since the management device determines that the default route is not the safe route, the management device may search for at least one other route. The management device may set a search path as a path that satisfies the allowable range.

The management device may determine whether the identified path satisfies the allowable range defined in step 601 of FIG. 6. If the identified path satisfies the allowable range, the management device may set the identified path as the search path. For example, the acceptable range can be determined by an absolute value. For example, the management device may set at least one route having a driving time within a time that is more than 5 minutes longer than the driving time according to the basic route as the search route. The management device may search for a route corresponding to 'the required time of the basic route + within 5 minutes'. In another example, the acceptable range can be determined by a relative value. For example, the management device may set at least one path having a travel time within a time that is 10% greater than the travel time according to the basic path as the search path. If the required time of the basic route is 10 minutes, the management apparatus may search for at least one route having a required time of 11 minutes or less. The management device sets the searched path as the search path.

In operation 777, the management device may determine whether the search path corresponds to the safety path. Whether the search path is a safe path may be determined according to a safety condition used in step 773. If the search path is not the safe path, the management device performs step 779. If the search path is a safe path, the management device performs step 783.

In operation 779, the management device may additionally set a search path to determine whether additional search is possible. Here, the additional search means whether there is a search path that can be additionally set in addition to step 775 within a degree different from the basic path, that is, within an allowable range. For example, when the time limit value of the allowable range is 15 minutes, the management device may set the search path within the required time of the basic path + within 10 minutes. Subsequently, when performing step 775 again in the cycle, the management device may set the search path within the required time of the basic path + 15 minutes. That is, the management device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may search the safety path by setting the range of the search path step by step within the allowable range. For another example, when the allowable range is set to a relative value (eg, a ratio), the management device may set the search path at 'within time x (100 + 20)% of the basic path'. The management device may set the ratio step by step to retrieve the safe route. If additional discovery is possible, the management device performs operation 775 again. If further discovery is not possible, the management device performs step 781.

In operation 781, the management device may determine that the electronic device cannot provide a safe path. The management device may transmit a message indicating that the safety path cannot be provided to the electronic device. Although not shown in FIG. 7C, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the management device may provide a basic path (eg, the shortest path and the fastest path) set in step 771.

In operation 783, the management device may provide a set path. When there are a plurality of set discovery paths, the management device may identify a service path based on a specific criterion (eg, time, incident rate) among the plurality of paths. For example, the management device may identify a path having the shortest travel time among the plurality of paths as a service path. For another example, the management device may identify a path having the lowest accident rate among the plurality of paths as a service path. The management device can provide the identified path.

In FIG. 7C, it is described that a path corresponding to an accident occurrence rate of a threshold value or more is determined as a safety path, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The safety route can be determined in various ways. In some embodiments, the safety route may be a route having the lowest average accident rate for each section of the route from the origin to the destination. In some other embodiments, the safety route may be a route having an average accident rate below a threshold value among routes from the origin to the destination. In some other embodiments, the safety route may be a route that does not include the section having the highest accident rate among the routes from the origin to the destination.

Although FIG. 7C illustrates an example of a safe path in which the electronic device operates in a safe mode, whether the path searched in another operation mode (eg, high speed mode or fuel economy mode) is a corresponding path (eg, a fastest path, an echo path). Accordingly, the embodiment shown in FIG. 7C may be applied.

8 is a flowchart of a management device for movement according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 8 illustrates an operation method of the management device 130.

Referring to FIG. 8, in operation 801, the management device may receive movement information. The movement information includes information related to driving of the electronic device. For example, the movement information may include information about a departure time of the electronic device. Also, for example, the movement information may include information about a starting point or information about a destination of the electronic device. The management device can obtain information about the starting point according to the location information of the electronic device. The management device can obtain information about the destination according to the feedback of the electronic device. Although not shown in FIG. 8, the management device may transmit a request message to the electronic device to display a user interface (UI) for inputting a destination for receiving movement information.

In operation 803, the management device may receive user information. The user information means information related to a behavior pattern of the user. The user behavior pattern refers to a tendency of information (for example, determination, input, selection, and movement) in which a user's judgment is involved among factors determining a service path. As an example, the user information may be in the form of probability information for a specific determination.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device may receive user information from the electronic device. The electronic device may collect data for user information by storing the driving result every time the user of the electronic device travels. The electronic device manages the collected data in the form of probabilities depending on whether the data is repeated and provides user information to the management device whenever a new service path is requested to the management device. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device may receive user information from a big data related server. The server may collect data on driving results of not only the user of the electronic device but also other users in the same region, and collect data stored in other devices (eg, Internet access information) in which the user other than the electronic device is involved. have. The server designs a model of a plurality of service paths by region, hot zone, service, or user based on the collected data, and determines the probability, weight, and deterministic based on each of the plurality of service paths. Using the method, it can be managed. Each time the management device receives a request for a service path from an electronic device, the management device can obtain user information by requesting user information from a server.

In operation 805, the management device may receive traffic information. The traffic information is real-time road traffic information, and may include road congestion degree, accident occurrence section information, and driving time information for a specific road section.

In operation 807, the management device may receive cell information. The cell information may include cell arrangement information, capacity / use information for each cell, and capacity / use information of a hot zone. Since the cell information corresponds to the cell information of FIG. 6, a detailed description of the overlapping configuration is omitted.

In operation 809, the management device may determine a service path. The management device may determine a service path based on the information received in steps 801 to 807. If the cycle is repeated, the management device may update the service path based on the information updated in real time in steps 805 to 807. By determining the service route by reflecting the real-time traffic information and the real-time cell information, the electronic device may be provided with a service suitable for an actual driving situation. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when the real time cell information is updated, the management device may provide information on at least one bypass including another hot zone when the hot zone on the service path becomes a service collapse area. In addition, the management device may additionally receive real-time road traffic information. The management device may determine a hot zone based route (or service route) based on the service information, the cell information, and the real-time road traffic information. As the real-time traffic information, cell arrangement information, etc. are updated, the management device may determine another route when a serious traffic jam occurs in a specific area in the hot zone based route.

In operation 811, the management device may provide route information. The path information may be information about a service path. The management device can provide route information to the electronic device. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the management device may transmit a message inquiring whether to drive using the determined service path to the electronic device in the first cycle. If the determined service path includes the hot zone, the message may be used to confirm whether to travel on the determined service path or the basic path. If the determined service path does not include a hot zone, that is, the default route, the message may be used to confirm whether to travel to the default route. Although not illustrated in FIG. 8, in response to a message according to a user input of the electronic device, the management device may determine whether the driving route of the electronic device includes a hot zone.

The route information may include driving information. The driving information may include a guide for a route in order for the electronic device to move from a departure point to a destination. The electronic device may provide the user with a guide for the route based on the driving information received. For example, the electronic device may provide a visual UI for guiding a route. Also, for example, the electronic device may provide a voice service for guiding a route. The management device may provide driving information so that the electronic device smoothly moves along the service path until the management device arrives at the destination.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the route information may include high capacity map information. In addition, the route information may include information on an optimal lane or recommendation speed based on high capacity map information. That is, the management device may transmit information indicating the optimal lane or recommendation speed to the electronic device. Here, the optimal lane or recommendation speed may be determined based on various criteria. In some embodiments, the optimal lane may be the lane having the greatest value of the moving speed among the lanes on the predetermined path. The recommended speed may be the fastest speed that satisfies the limit conditions (eg, speed limit, vehicle performance limit) in the optimal lane. For example, when the electronic device is moving in four lanes, the management device may provide information that traveling in a two lane 70 km is optimal in the current section.

In some other embodiments, the optimal lane may be the lane having the lowest accident rate based on the accident occurrence rate and the traffic information of step 805 among the lanes on the predetermined route. The recommended speed may be an optimal speed at a maximum speed at which a limit condition (eg, speed limit and limit according to vehicle performance) is satisfied in the optimal lane.

In operation 813, the management device may determine whether the electronic device has arrived at the destination. When the electronic device arrives at the destination, the management device may end the repetition of updating and providing the route information. If the electronic device does not arrive at the destination, the management device may perform step 805 again.

Meanwhile, although FIG. 8 illustrates that the traffic information and the cell information are repeatedly received every cycle, the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is only an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the management apparatus may receive the traffic information more frequently by setting the reception period of the traffic information shorter than the reception period of the cell information.

For another example, the management device may set the reception period of the cell information shorter than the reception period of the traffic information, thereby receiving the cell information more frequently. In addition, unlike FIG. 8, an operation of repeatedly receiving user information or repeatedly receiving only one of traffic information and cell information instead of repeatedly receiving only traffic information and cell information is also an embodiment of the present disclosure. It can be understood as.

As another example, the management device may repeatedly receive only cell information and modify the path in real time. For example, if it is determined that the first hot zone is included in the path, but the base station of the first hot zone becomes impossible to operate normally, the management apparatus includes a path including the second hot zone in place of the first hot zone. New decision may be made, and a new path may be provided.

9A and 9B illustrate a flowchart of an electronic device for movement according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 9A and 9B illustrate a method of operating the electronic device 120.

9A and 9B, in operation 901, the electronic device may provide movement information to the management device. The movement information includes information related to driving of the electronic device. The movement information corresponds to the movement information of step 801 of FIG. 8. The electronic device may receive a user input to generate movement information. For example, the electronic device may display a UI for setting a destination. The electronic device may detect a user input and determine a destination. The electronic device may provide the management device with movement information including information about the destination.

In operation 903, the electronic device may receive path information. The route information corresponds to the route information provided in the first cycle of step 811 of FIG. 8. The route information may include a service route determined by the management device according to the movement information. In addition, the route information may include driving information for guiding a service route.

In operation 905, the electronic device may determine whether a hot zone exists. The electronic device may determine whether the hot zone is included in the service path indicated by the path information. The electronic device may perform step 907 when the hot zone is included in the service path. If the hot zone is not included in the service path, the electronic device may perform step 909.

In operation 907, the electronic device may indicate whether the hot zone is used. Since the service path includes the hot zone, the electronic device may finally select whether the user will drive using the hot zone or the general route (the route determined without considering the hot zone). You can indicate whether or not the hot zone is used. For example, the electronic device may display a UI inquiring whether to use a path including a hot zone, that is, a hot zone based path or a default path on the navigation application.

In operation 909, the electronic device may display whether the default path is used. Since the hot zone is not included in the service path, the user does not need to select whether to use the hot zone. Accordingly, in operation 907, the electronic device may display only whether the default path is used. For example, the electronic device may display a UI for inquiring whether to start driving using a basic route on the navigation application.

In operation 911, the electronic device may receive a user input. By receiving the user input, the electronic device may determine whether to travel through the path provided with the intention of the user. Hereinafter, the procedure described below is described on the premise that it is determined that the intention of the user is to perform the driving through the provided path.

In addition, after performing operation 911 after operation 907, the electronic device may detect a user input to check a selection result of whether the user uses the hot zone. If the user input indicates the use of the default route, the electronic device may determine that the electronic device does not use a hot zone while driving the electronic device. In contrast, when the user input indicates the use of a hot zone based path, the electronic device may determine that the electronic device uses the hot zone when the electronic device is driven.

In operation 913, the electronic device may display driving information. The electronic device may display driving information for guiding a vehicle in which the electronic device is mounted, a car in which the user of the electronic device operates, or a movement of the user of the electronic device to move in accordance with a service route. For example, the electronic device may provide at least one of a visual UI or a voice guidance service for guiding a route. The electronic device displays driving information on the basic route or driving information on the hot zone based route according to the user input in step 911.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device is information using HD map information and includes information on a lane, information on a recommendation speed for each lane, and terrain information related to a specific lane (for example, whether a bridge, a slope, a bus-only lane, etc.) Can be displayed. The electronic device may receive lane information, speed information, and the like in addition to the existing driving information on the navigation system. Through the hot zone, the electronic device obtains high-capacity information, thereby displaying optimal lane information or optimal speed information on a path from the starting point to the destination. In addition, the electronic device may include information related to a lane or a speed along with a path according to an operation mode (eg, a high speed mode, a fuel consumption mode, a safety mode) described above with reference to FIG. 5B.

In operation 915, the electronic device may receive updated route information. The electronic device may receive the updated path information from the management device. Here, the updated route information may be updated route information based on traffic information and cell information updated in real time by the management apparatus.

In operation 917, the electronic device may determine whether the current location is a hot zone. The electronic device may determine whether the electronic device enters the hot zone. When the electronic device enters the hot zone, the electronic device may perform step 919. If the electronic device does not enter the hot zone, the electronic device may perform step 923.

In operation 919, the electronic device may determine whether to use the hot zone. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in step 911, the electronic device determines whether to use a hot zone. In operation 911, when the hot zone is included in the service path and the user input indicates the use of the hot zone based path, the electronic device may determine the use of the hot zone. In contrast, if the hot zone is not included in the service path or the user input indicates the use of the default path, the electronic device may determine not to use the hot zone.

Additionally, the electronic device may display a message for asking whether the user uses the hot zone. Thereafter, according to the user input, the electronic device may perform a determination procedure of step 919. When the electronic device does not use the hot zone based path, the electronic device may display the message or determine whether the hot zone based path is used through the message.

In operation 921, the electronic device may receive a service. The electronic device may receive a hot zone service. For example, the hot zone service may be a download of high quality video data. For another example, the hot zone service may be reception of high capacity map information (eg, 3D map information and HD map information). As another example, the hot zone service may be an upload of high capacity data.

In operation 923, the electronic device may display driving information. Since step 923 corresponds to step 913, a description of overlapping components is omitted.

In operation 925, the electronic device may determine whether to arrive at the destination. The electronic device may determine whether the current location is a destination set in step 901. The electronic device may determine whether the electronic device arrives at the destination by comparing the location information of the current electronic device with the location information of the destination obtained when the movement information is generated. If it is determined that the electronic device has arrived at the destination, the electronic device may perform step 927. If the electronic device does not determine that the electronic device has arrived at the destination, the electronic device may perform step 913 again.

In operation 927, the electronic device may feed back a result of the movement. The movement result may include a driving record (eg, movement speed and movement path) and a user input history. The electronic device may transmit the movement result to another device. For example, the electronic device may store the movement result in a cloud system managing traffic information. In addition, for example, it may be transmitted to a server that manages a user's personal preferences.

Although not illustrated in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the electronic device may exchange and update driving information with a base station (eg, a hot zone) in real time. In other words, the driving related information is not transmitted to the management apparatus or the base station only in the specific steps (eg, steps 911, 915, 921, or 927) of FIGS. 9A and 9B, but between steps (eg, 921). The driving related information may be transmitted or received between the step and the step 923) or in a specific step (eg, step 915). In addition, an ultra low delay service between a mobile electronic device and a network through a MEC function may be performed. Since the movement information of the electronic device is shared in real time, a network is regularly established, so that seamless handover between base stations can be achieved.

10 illustrates an example of providing a route according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 10 illustrates a path providing of the electronic device 120.

Referring to FIG. 10, the electronic device 120 provides a shortest path 1010 as a basic path and a movie route 1020 as a service path. The movie path means a service path for receiving a movie service. The service path may be determined according to at least one of a type of service that a user wants to receive while driving, a required data amount, and a data rate. In FIG. 10, a user of the electronic device 120 may wish to receive a movie service while driving. The user's intention may be confirmed by receiving a user's input for the movie service through the electronic device 120 or receiving preference information of the user of the electronic device 120 from the big data server at the management device (not shown).

The electronic device 120 may display a UI that asks whether the user wants to travel through the shortest path 1010 or the movie path 1020. The UI may include an estimated time required for each route. For example, the UI may display 27 minutes as the time required for the

shortest path

1010 and 31 minutes as the time required for the movie path 1020.

The electronic device 120 may determine one of the shortest path 1010 or the movie path 1020 through detection of a user's input. For example, when the electronic device 120 detects an input for the shortest path 1010, the electronic device 120 may display driving information moving from the starting point to the destination without the service by the hot zone. For another example, when the electronic device 120 detects an input for the movie path 1020, the electronic device 120 may display driving information moving from the starting point to the destination while being provided with the service by the hot zone.

In addition, the mobile operator may offer promotions to the user via the hot zone. The electronic device 120 may display information related to the promotion along with the screen of the movie path 1020. For example, the electronic device 120 may display information indicating that data usage fees for two UHD videos are free.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, by indicating a service path via the hot zone, such as the movie path 1020, it may be determined whether the service path determination of the present disclosure is performed. In addition, on the map application or the navigation application, information about the area of the hot zone is displayed, so that it is possible to confirm whether or not the service route determination of the present disclosure is performed.

Referring to FIG. 11, the electronic device 120 moves along a service path along the movie path 1020 of FIG. 10. The movie path 1020 may include two hot zones. The electronic device 120 may download the first UHD video in the first hot zone 1110 and the second UHD video in the second hot zone 1120 according to the promotion of the mobile communication operator.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, as the service information of the hot zone displayed on the electronic device 120, the electronic device 120 may determine whether to perform the service path determination of the present disclosure by receiving the service indicated in the hot zone on the service path.

12 illustrates an example of providing a path according to user-specific mode selection according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Here, the mode is specified according to the service at the time of route determination. If the service requires high data throughput, the mode is set to provide a hot zone with a high data transfer rate, and if the service requires a real-time service, the service path according to the cell placement information. The mode may be set such that the capacities of each of the cells in the cell are all equal to or greater than a threshold.

Referring to FIG. 12, the big data server 1210 may store information for determining a user-specific mode. Whether you want a short path, high data throughput, or seamless service can depend on your preferences. In addition, whether or not to bypass a lot of accidents, such as using a fuel-efficient route may also depend on the user's preference. The big data server 1210 may include training data for determining a mode, from user # 1 to user #N. The big data server 1210 may determine a preference mode for each user based on probabilities and weights from a plurality of training data for each user. E.g,

When the preferred mode of the first user 1201 requires a high data throughput as a movie mode, the big data server 1210 determines a service path to include a hot zone that provides a high data rate or based on the service path. The management server or the electronic device may be controlled to be set as a path.

When the preferred mode of the second user 1202 requires more real time as a call mode, the big data server 1210 determines a service path such that the capacity of each of the cells in the service path is greater than or equal to a threshold. The management server or the electronic device may be controlled to set the path as the default path.

When the preferred mode of the third user 1203 is the shortest path mode and preferentially reduces the travel time, the big data server 1210 determines a service path without considering the existence of a hot zone or uses the shortest path as the default path. The management server or the electronic device may be controlled to be set.

Although not shown in FIG. 12, the big data server 1210 is an operation mode of the electronic device, and controls the management server or the electronic device to set a path according to at least one of the high speed mode, the fuel economy mode, and the safety mode described above with reference to FIG. 5B. Can be. For example, when the big data server 1210 is in the safe mode, the big data server 1210 may control the management server or the electronic device to set a path at which the accident occurrence rate statistics of each of the sections of the path are lowest.

13 illustrates an example of a hot zone in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 13, the hot zone may be located in various areas. For example, the hot zone may be a car wash 1310. Also, as an example, the hot zone may be a gas station 1320. Also, as an example, the hot zone may be a drive thru 1330. Although not shown in FIG. 13, the hot zone may be an intersection.

Although the cellular networks provided in the hot zones are the same, the difference in data transfer rates may be small, but the time spent in each hot zone may be different for each type of hot zone. For example, the user stay at the gas station 1320 may be longer than the user stay at the drive through 1330. Accordingly, the time (hereinafter, duration) in which the cellular network service can be maintained by the electronic device staying in the hot zone may be a factor in determining whether the service can be provided according to a user requirement of a specific path.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, if a plurality of hot zones are included in the search path, the management device may have an average duration for general users in the corresponding hot zone or a duration for the user of the electronic device according to the type of the hot zone. Based on the determination, a service path having a channel capacity capable of processing the capacity of the entire service to be provided to the electronic device may be determined.

Referring to FIG. 14, the hot zone may be located in various areas. As an example, the hot zone may be an aviation maintenance zone 1410. As another example, the hot zone may be an airport gate 1420.

The range of information that can be provided in each hot zone may be different for each hot zone location. For example, the number of electronic devices connected to the aviation maintenance zone 1410 may be less than the number of electronic devices connected to the hot zone than the airport gate 1420. With fewer electronic devices connected to the cell, the available channel capacity of the aviation maintenance area 1410 can be relatively greater than the available channel capacity of the airport gate 1420. For example, the electronic device of the airport gate 1420 may receive a high capacity video file. The electronic device of the aviation maintenance area 1410 may receive an elevation program update, receive route information, receive inflight entertainment contents, or receive 3D map information.

The present disclosure provides a user specialized hot zone service by determining and recommending a service path using cellular network information. In the present disclosure, a situation in which a driving route of a vehicle is set based on service information, cell information, and traffic information has been described as an example, but the present disclosure is not limited to a vehicle system. When the user moves the electronic device by using another moving means such as a bicycle or moves by walking, the route providing technique of the present disclosure may be applied.

In addition, although the present disclosure has described the path providing technique of the present disclosure as an example in which a management server controlling a path setting such as a navigation system sets a service path and provides a service path to an electronic device, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
