Method for switching display area layout map and geographical related map on mobile communication device

The present invention relates to a method of switching a display area layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device.

With the popularity of positioning systems and mobile communication devices, geographically relevant maps have also become popular on mobile communication devices for navigation and other purposes. However, when the mobile communication device is carried into the room, the positioning system is disconnected, and the geographically relevant map of the accurate location is naturally not displayed in the mobile communication device.

In addition, the positioning signals provided by the positioning system are only geographical parameters related to the location. If the user enters an indoor area such as a shopping mall, a business office, or a circle of a playground, a golf course, etc., the regional layout map (for example, the relative position of the store, the relative position of the amusement facilities, etc.) is far more geographically relevant to the user. Maps are more useful.

However, switching between the display of the geographically relevant map and the regional layout map on the mobile communication device must be manually set, which is quite inconvenient. A scheme for automatically switching display area layout maps and geographically related maps on mobile communication devices has not been proposed.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for switching a display area layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device.

According to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for switching a display area layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device is firstly, the mobile communication device receives a positioning signal sent by the positioning system and displays a geographically relevant map. The case operates. Next, the method of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether a beacon signal is received. If the beacon signal is received, the method of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether the system has been disconnected from the positioning system. If the mobile communication device and the positioning system have been disconnected, the method of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention displays a regional layout map.

According to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for switching a display area layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device is firstly, the mobile communication device receives a positioning signal sent by the positioning system and displays a geographically related map. The case operates. Next, the method of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether a beacon signal is received. If the beacon signal is received, the method of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether the strength of the beacon signal is higher than the threshold. If the strength of the beacon signal is above the threshold, the method of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention displays a regional layout map.

According to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method of switching between a display area layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device is first performed in the case where the mobile communication device displays an area layout map. Next, the method of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether a beacon signal is received. If the beacon signal is received, the method of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether the positioning signal sent by the positioning system is received. The method of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention displays a geographically relevant map if a positioning signal transmitted by the positioning system is received.

According to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method of switching between a display area layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device is first performed in the case where the mobile communication device displays an area layout map. Next, the method of the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention determines whether the first beacon signal is received. If the first beacon signal is received, the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention The method of the embodiment determines whether the second beacon signal is received and the first beacon signal is disconnected. If the strength of the beacon signal is above the threshold, the method of the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention displays a geographically relevant map.

In a specific embodiment, the positioning system may be a global satellite positioning system (GPS), an assisted global satellite positioning system (AGPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), a Beidou satellite navigation positioning system, or a Galileo satellite navigation positioning system. And other positioning systems.

In one embodiment, the beacon signal may be transmitted via a Bluetooth protocol, a Wi-Fi protocol, an LTE protocol, an IEEE 802.11 family of protocols, a Zigbee protocol, a Z-wave protocol, or other wireless communication protocol.

Compared with the prior art, the method of the present invention can automatically switch between displaying a regional layout map and a geographically related map on a mobile communication device.
