Description

Mobile phone position and shortest path information transmission system

The present invention relates to a mobile phone location and shortest path information transmission system, and more particularly, by using a location tracking technology of a mobile phone, a user of a mobile phone can transmit various types of information about a current location while moving. The present invention relates to a system for transmitting the shortest path information using a car navigation system (CNS).

In general, the means of communication among members of society or members of social groups to communicate their opinions and information have been changed in various ways with the development of information technology.

By separating these means of communication, we support communication means that support the same time and place on the two axes of time and space, communication means that support the same time and different space, and support the same time and place Can be divided into four areas: means of communication and means of communication supporting different times and places.

The most representative of the communication means for supporting the same time and different space may be called a telephone. The telephone has been developed into a landline telephone, a wireless telephone, a mobile telephone and an Internet phone as the times have developed and the communication network has been speeded up, and in particular, mobile telephones have exploded due to the convenience of unlimited use places.

In particular, in recent years, the telephone is not only used as a means of communication, but also used as a means of acquiring various information in accordance with the trend of informatization. Representative examples include voice service 700, which provides information on securities, real estate, weather, and the like, and a short message service (SMS) that a mobile communication service provider provides competitively.

However, in the related art, information providing services using a telephone do not provide geographic information such as a location and a telephone number of a bank, a hospital, a public office, and the like from a current location where a user is located. In particular, mobile phone users do not always use a mobile phone in a fixed location due to the characteristics of the mobile phone, and thus, more information about the geography around the user is required. The function is not performing.

In addition, in recent years, a vehicle equipped with a vehicle navigation system (CNS) is increasing in demand due to its convenience. The vehicle navigation system displays your location, starting point, arrival point, and driving route on a map so that the driver can easily reach the desired destination, or guides the driving route by voice or graphic. It is a system that allows you to go. The vehicle navigation system is composed of a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver that allows the user to check his / her location as a component, an electronic map containing geographic information, a graphic display device that displays information on a screen, and an audio output device. It is.

However, the vehicle navigation system has a disadvantage in that it is impossible to mount an electronic map including all the geographic information due to the limitation of capacity, and there is a problem in that even if it can be mounted, the geographic information that is continuously changed must be periodically updated. Therefore, the vehicle navigation system user cannot accurately search for a destination by the name or address of a building that is not registered in the built-in electronic map. You can also

In addition, even if accurate information is registered on the electronic map of the user's vehicle navigation system, there is a limit in that the user cannot provide the shortest time path desired by the road depending on the current traffic condition or road construction situation.

In addition, when the destination of the vehicle navigation system is changed while driving, the user has to inconvenience the vehicle navigation system after stopping the vehicle for a while to search for a new destination.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a user's current location and geographic information of the user through voice and Internet networks or text or facsimile using a technology for tracking the location of the mobile communication telephone. Navigation system When the user inquires the desired destination by voice through the mobile communication phone, the shortest route is transmitted to the vehicle navigation system so that the user can safely and easily move to the desired destination. The purpose is to provide.
