System and Method for Providing Telematics Service
First Claim
1. A telematics service providing system for providing path information from a departure point to a destination to a client terminal through a radio communication network, comprising:
- an optimized path generator for generating a path from the departure point to the destination;
a guidance information generator for generating guidance information for each guidance point where a turn to another direction that is different from the client'"'"'s current progress direction is needed for the generated path;
a guidance point vicinity map generator for generating a guidance point vicinity map that is generated by clipping a vicinity map covering a predetermined area with reference to the guidance point from the total map according to the generated guidance information; and
a telematics service provider for providing path information including the generated guidance point vicinity map to the client terminal.

Abstract
The telematics service providing system generates a path from the departure point to the destination based on traffic information, generates guidance information for each guidance point where a turn to a direction that is different from the current progress direction of the client is needed on the generated path, clips a vicinity map covering a predetermined area with reference to the guidance point from the total map to generate a guidance point vicinity map, converts the generated guidance point vicinity map into a format displayable by the client, and provides the converted map to the client terminal. Accordingly, confusion caused by complex crossroads or paths that need consecutive and same direction turns may be prevented, the client terminal may not need a memory for storing large-volume geographic information data, and the client may not additionally need to upgrade the geographic information data.
