ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND NAVIGATION IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus configured to display a navigation image, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage module configured to store image data corresponding to respective symbols to be displayed on the navigation image, and data of simplified diagram templates in which positions are set on an image showing a shape of a road in a simplified manner, symbols being placed at the respective positions;
a location measuring module configured to measure a current location of the electronic apparatus;
a communication module configured to transmit the measured current location to an external communication apparatus and to receive navigation information on a navigation point corresponding to the current location from the external communication apparatus, the navigation information including a simplified diagram template identification number, symbol identification numbers, and position specification numbers; and
a navigation image generating module configured to generate the navigation image by reading the simplified diagram template corresponding to the simplified diagram template identification number and the image data of the symbols corresponding to the symbol identification numbers from the storage module, and placing the read image data of the symbol at positions on the read simplified diagram template specified by the position specification numbers.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a storage module, a location measuring module, a communication module, and a navigation image generating module. The storage module stores image data corresponding to respective symbols, and data of simplified diagram templates in each of which positions are set on an image showing a shape of a road, symbols being placed at the respective positions. The location measuring module measures a current location. The communication module transmits the current location to an external communication apparatus and receives navigation information on a navigation point corresponding to the current location, the navigation information including a simplified diagram template identification number, symbol identification numbers, and position specification numbers. The navigation image generating module generates the navigation image by reading the simplified diagram template and the image data of the symbols, and placing the image data at positions on the simplified diagram template.
