1. A direction guide vibration system of a vehicle operating with a navigation system, comprising:
- a driving unit installed along a longitudinal direction of a seat rail provided in the vehicle and comprising a chain having an upper side, which is circulated and operated by a roller connected onto an axis of a driving motor;
a vibration generator provided in the upper side of the chain to generate a vibration in a driver'"'"'s seat on which the driver sits at a time of a left turn, a right turn or an U-turn of the vehicle, the vibration being provided together with an image and a voice guide through the navigation system; and
a controller electrically connected to the driving unit and the vibration generator such that the controller operates the driving unit at the time of the left turn, the right turn and the U-turn of the vehicle to move a position of the vibration generator and in the position that the vibration generator is moved, generates the vibration in the vibration generator.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a direction guide vibration system of a vehicle operating with a navigation and control method thereof, which applies vibration to a driver'"'"'s seat on which a driver sits at the spot where a left turn or a right turn and a U turn are expected, on a path to move to a driver'"'"'s intended destination, informs a driver thereof in advance for people and the hearing impaired using a navigation and informs the driver thereof before an enforcement area in which an over-speed camera is installed, thereby securing a safe driving of a vehicle.

8. A control method of the direction guide vibration system of a vehicle operating with the navigation system, including the steps of:
-
a left/right turn mode step that comprises informing a driver of the vehicle to make a left turn or make a right turn of the vehicle by applying a vibration to a driver'"'"'s seat, before an expected position in which the driver has to make a left turn or make a right turn of the vehicle on an moving path along which the vehicle will be moved to an intended destination, together with an image and a voice navigation guides provided by the navigation system.; an U-turn mode step that comprises informing the driver that the vehicle arrives at an U-turn expecting region by applying the vibration to the driver'"'"'s seat when arriving at the U-turn expecting region after making the left turn or the right turn of the vehicle; and an overspeed camera mode step that comprises inputting information from a plurality of overspeed cameras installed on a path along which the vehicle will be moved to the intended destination through the navigation system and informing the driver of an enforcement area proximate the path by applying the vibration to the driver'"'"'s seat before the enforcement area. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
