FIG. 1 is a view showing the navigation service providing system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a navigation service according to the present invention.

1, the navigation service providing system 100 includes a portable terminal 200, a navigation unit 300, and a cloud server 400.

The navigation service providing system 100 is realized through communication between the portable terminal 200 of the driver and the navigation system 300 installed in the vehicle and the cloud server 400.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server 400 can provide both a route guidance service and an information providing service provided by a known navigation to the driver through interlocking of the portable terminal 200 and the navigation unit 300 However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. In another embodiment of the present invention, only the information providing service except the route guidance service may be provided through the cloud server 400, or may be implemented in various combinations within the scope of the claims of the present invention. have.

The mobile terminal 200 may be a known smart phone or a tablet PC. However, the present invention is not limited to the smart phone and the tablet PC. The mobile terminal 200 may include all the components of the mobile terminal 200, And any terminal capable of communicating with the navigation unit 300 provided in the vehicle.

The communication between the portable terminal 200 and the navigation unit 300 and the cloud server 400 may be applied to any known wireless communication network. However, the communication between the portable terminal 200 and the navigation unit 300 may be performed using a Wi-Fi communication network, Mobile communication network) and the like.

The portable terminal 200 includes an application (navigation system) for performing route guidance and is interoperable with the navigation system 300 mounted on the vehicle through a wireless network such as a wired or Bluetooth network.

Also, the portable terminal 200 can be connected to the cloud server 400 through the wireless network from the above-described configuration, and can transmit / receive data. At this time, the route guidance data according to the route search or search result is shared based on the map data included in the application for performing the route guidance of the portable terminal 200.

Here, the data is shared by including the route search based on the map data included in the navigation 300 or the route guide data according to the search result.

Accordingly, the cloud server 400 generates the traveling log based on the route guidance data based on the route search or the search result through the portable terminal 200 or the navigation system 300. [

Here, the traveling log may include a route search rate through which the route is searched through the portable terminal 200 or the navigation device 300, a travel route according to a destination often set by the driver or a destination set on the route, Data such as a congestion section, a personal use history, and a use history of another driver are generated and stored.

The portable terminal 200 or the navigation unit 300 classifies the optimum route for the destination set by the driver into a predetermined unit interval.

Here, the set unit may classify a segment into a distance measurement unit (e.g., M, Km, or the like), judge a road condition, and classify the road based on a branch point,

The cloud server 400 compares sections based on a high priority section from the portable terminal 200 or the navigation unit 300 to a predetermined destination to determine an optimal path and guides the optimal path .

Here, the priority is determined based on the route guidance for the utilization rate from the start point to the destination or the route guidance for the accuracy of the corresponding interval according to the travel log stored in the cloud server 400.

The route guidance for the utilization rate may be determined by a usage log of the portable terminal 200 or the navigation system 300 based on the travel log provided from the cloud server 400 The route guidance is searched from the portable terminal, and when the usage rate of the navigation is high, the route guidance through navigation is used).

That is, the route guide for the usage rate selects a path having a higher priority from the personal use history or the history of use of other drivers to perform the route guidance.

Then, the route guidance for the accuracy is determined by determining the accuracy of the route guidance of the predetermined section of the portable terminal 200 or the navigation system 300 by using the travel log provided from the cloud server 400, do.

In addition, the route guidance for the accuracy is determined based on the roads adjacent to the sections set based on the characteristics of the type of the urban area or the road, when there is no running log for the set interval.

The section is classified into predetermined units of the paths that are searched through the portable terminal 200 or the navigation unit 300, and the optimal route is reflected on the route search to derive the search result to perform route guidance.

A 'navigation service providing method' according to the navigation service providing system 100 having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, the navigation service providing method is performed through the following steps.

(S1) in which the portable terminal (200) including the application for performing route guidance is interlocked with the navigation system (300) mounted on the vehicle by using a wireless network such as wired or Bluetooth.

The mobile terminal 200 and the navigation system 300 may be connected to the cloud server 400 in cooperation with the cloud server 400 after the association between the mobile terminal 200 and the navigation system 300 in the step S1, Step S2 is performed.

Here, it is needless to say that the order in which the cloud server connection step S2 is interlocked is not limited to this, and the portable terminal 200 and the navigation 300 can be independently operated.

(S3) for classifying the optimum route for the destination set by the driver into the section of the set unit through the portable terminal (200) or the navigation unit (300).

The segment classification step S3 classifies the segment into a distance measurement unit (for example, M, Km, or the like), determines the road condition, and classifies the segment based on the branch point, the distance from the start point do.

A usage rate comparing step S4 for determining a usage rate based on a usage rate of the portable terminal 200 or the navigation device 300 based on a running log provided from the cloud server 400. [

The cloud server 400 compares sections based on the high priority sections of the classified sections from the departure point to the set destination according to the route searched through the portable terminal 200 or the navigation system 300 An optimal path determination step S5 for determining an optimal path is performed.

If there is an optimum path in the optimal path determination step S5, a path is selected according to the usage ratio of the portable terminal 200 or the navigation system 300 by using the running log provided from the cloud server 400 (Step S6).

If there is no optimum path in the optimal path determination step S5, the route log of the set period of the portable terminal 200 or the navigation system 300 is determined by the running log provided from the cloud server 400, And performs an accurate path selection step S7 for selecting an accurate path for each section.

A route selection step (S6) according to the usage rate or a route guidance step (S8) for guiding the selected route among the accurate route selection step (S7).

A server transmitting step (S9) of transmitting a running log for the processes performed up to the route guiding step (S8) to the cloud server using the portable terminal (200) or the navigation system (300).

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, . ≪ / RTI > Accordingly, such modifications are deemed to be within the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.
