Abstract

An apparatus and a method that provide traffic information using radio traffic broadcasting that provides corresponding traffic information to a driver when the driver requests the corresponding traffic information, without requiring a separate digital modulation module, by recording radio traffic broadcasting in a streaming scheme. In addition, corresponding traffic broadcasting is extracted and stored in a file form when a street name, a land mark, a location name, or the like, on a destination path set by the driver is recognized as an audio in the recorded radio traffic broadcasting.

Claims

1. An apparatus that provides traffic information using radio traffic broadcasting, comprising:

a controller configured to;

receive traffic broadcasting;

store the received traffic broadcasting;

receive destination information from a driver to set a path from a current position to a destination and create a list of names on the set path;

extract corresponding traffic information when the name on the list is included in the stored traffic broadcasting;

extract the corresponding traffic information in the stored traffic broadcasting; and

store the extracted traffic information.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

store the received traffic broadcasting in a streaming scheme.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

extract a sentence including a street name, a land mark, and a location name as the name on the list as the traffic information.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

store the extracted traffic information in a file form.

5. A method that provides traffic information using radio traffic broadcasting, comprising:

receiving, by a controller, traffic broadcasting;

storing, by the controller, the received traffic broadcasting;

receiving, by the controller, destination information from a driver to set a path from a current position to a destination and creating a list of names on the set path;

inspecting, by the controller, whether the name on the list is included in the stored traffic broadcasting;

extracting, by the controller, corresponding traffic information when the name on the list is included in the stored traffic broadcasting; and

storing by the controller, the extracted traffic information.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein in the storing of the received traffic broadcasting, the received traffic broadcasting is stored in a stream scheme.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein in the extracting of the corresponding traffic information, a sentence including a street name, a land mark, and a location name as the name on the list is extracted as the traffic information.

8. The method according to claim 5, wherein in the extracting of the corresponding traffic information, a sentence including at least one of a street name, a land mark, and a location name as the name on the list is extracted as the traffic information.

9. The method according to claim 5, wherein in the storing of extracted traffic information, the extracted traffic information is stored in a file form.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:

program instructions that receive traffic broadcasting;

program instructions that store the received traffic broadcasting;

program instructions that receive destination information from a driver to set a path from a current position to a destination and create a list of names on the set path;

program instructions that inspect whether the name on the list is included in the stored traffic broadcasting;

program instructions that extract corresponding traffic information when the name on the list is included in the stored traffic broadcasting; and

program instructions that store the extracted traffic information.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, further comprising:

program instructions that store the received traffic broadcasting in a streaming scheme.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, further comprising:

program instructions that extract a sentence including a street name, a land mark, and a location name as the name on the list as the traffic information.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, further comprising:

program instructions that extract a sentence including at least one of a street name, a land mark, and a location name as the name on the list as the traffic information.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, further comprising:

program instructions that store the extracted traffic information in a file form.
