Apparatus and method for providing location-based information
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing location-based information, which receives broadcast signals containing location-based service data and provides location-based information, the apparatus comprising:
- an input unit which receives information on a first location and information on a second location from a user;
a decoding unit which decodes the location-based service data contained in the broadcast signals;
a control unit which selects location-based service data regarding a region between the first location and the second location from among the location-based service data decoded by the decoding unit; and
a display unit which displays the location-based service data selected by the control unit.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing location-based information are provided. The apparatus includes: an input unit, which receives information on a first location and information on a second location from a user; a decoding unit, which decodes the location-based service data contained in the broadcast signals; a control unit, which selects location-based service data regarding a region between the first and second locations from among the location-based service data decoded by the decoding unit; and a display unit, which displays the selected location-based service data. The apparatus can receive broadcast signals containing location-based service data and can provide location-based information to a user without the aid of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, a map generator, or a storage medium in which map data is stored.
