APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING NAVIGATION MODE BETWEEN VEHICLE NAVIGATION MODE AND PERSONAL NAVIGATION MODE IN NAVIGATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for switching a navigation mode between a vehicle navigation mode and a pedestrian navigation mode, the apparatus comprising:
- a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver configured to receive a GPS signal; and
a controller configured to;
calculate a speed of the apparatus by using the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver,compare the calculated speed of the apparatus with a threshold speed, anddetermine the navigation mode of the apparatus between the vehicle navigation mode and the pedestrian navigation mode based on the comparison.

19. An apparatus for switching a navigation mode between a vehicle navigation mode and a pedestrian navigation mode, the apparatus comprising:
-
a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver configured to receive a GPS signal; and a controller configured to; calculate a speed of the apparatus by using the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver, switch the navigation mode of the apparatus from the vehicle navigation mode to the pedestrian navigation mode, if the calculated speed of the apparatus is lower than or equal to a threshold speed, and switch the navigation mode of the apparatus from the pedestrian navigation mode to the vehicle navigation mode, if the calculated speed of the apparatus is greater than the threshold speed.
