Apparatus and method for providing travel route in navigation system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing a travel route in a navigation system, the apparatus comprising:
- a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver for receiving position data from a plurality of GPS satellites;
a storage unit for storing map data and a travel route therein;
a display unit for displaying the stored map data and travel route on a screen thereof;
a key input unit for receiving a variety of input key signals, and an origin and a destination therebetween;
a velocity and direction detection unit for detecting a travel velocity and direction of a moving object;
a wireless communication unit for communicating to receive traffic information with respect to an on-road; and
a control unit for controlling storage of the travel route in the storage unit and to provide the stored travel route for a user.

Abstract
An apparatus and method provide a travel route in a navigation system. The apparatus includes: a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver for receiving position data from a plurality of GPS satellites; a storage unit for storing map data and the travel route therein; a display unit for displaying the stored map data and travel route on a screen; a key input unit for receiving a variety of input key signals, and an origin and a destination therebetween; a velocity and direction detection unit for detecting a travel velocity and direction of travel of a moving object; a wireless communication unit for communicating to receive traffic information on an on-road; and a control unit for controlling each unit to store the travel route in the storage unit and to provide the stored travel route for a user.

8. A method of providing a travel route in a navigation system, comprising:
-
(a) receiving an origin and a destination;
(b) determining whether or not a travel route corresponding to the received origin and destination is identical with a travel route stored in a storage unit;
(c) if it is determined that the corresponding travel route is identical with the stored travel route, reading the stored travel route from the storage unit; and
(d) displaying the read travel route on a screen for guidance of a moving object. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for providing a travel route in a navigation system, the method comprising:
-
(a) determining whether or not a user inputs to the navigation system an origin and a destination of a travel route for guidance of a moving object;
(b) if it is determined that the user inputs the origin and the destination, recognizing a current position and a travel direction of the moving object on the basis of a GPS (Global Positioning System) signal to track the moving object along a travel trace, and searching for an optimal travel route from the origin to the destination;
(c) displaying an optimal travel route on a screen to guide the moving object along the optimal travel route;
(d) determining whether or not the moving object arrives at the destination and then, if it is determined that the moving object arrives at the destination, inquiring of the user whether or not a current travel route would be stored; and
(e) if the user selects to store the current travel route, storing the current travel route in a predetermined area of a storage unit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system that provides a travel route in a navigation system, comprising:
-
(a) means for receiving an origin and a destination;
(b) means for determining whether or not a travel route corresponding to the received origin and destination is identical with a travel route stored in a storage unit;
(c) means for reading the stored travel route from the storage unit based on a determination that the corresponding travel route is identical with the stored travel route; and
(d) means for displaying the read travel route on a screen for guidance of a moving object. - View Dependent Claims (20)
