Device and method for traffic information guiding in navigation system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for guiding a traffic information in a navigation system, comprising:
- a GPS receiver for receiving position data from a plurality of GPS satellites;
a storage means for storing a map data and a traffic information;
a display means for displaying the stored map data and information of a traffic condition on a screen;
an input means for inputting a variety of key signals and selecting a traffic condition of a current road on a traveling route;
a velocity and direction sensing means for sensing a traveling velocity and direction of a moving object;
a wireless communication means for transmitting and receiving a traffic information including the traffic condition of the road; and
a control means for controlling each means, controlling the traffic information of the traveling route to be transmitted to the wireless communication means, and controlling the received traffic information to be displayed.

Abstract
There is provided an apparatus and method for guiding a traffic information in a navigation system, in which a user of a moving object directly selects and provides traffic conditions changing on a current traveling road in real time. Additionally, the user can receive the traffic conditions. The method for guiding the traffic information in the navigation system includes the steps of: displaying a traveling route on a screen; determining whether a current mode is a traffic condition input mode while a moving object travels; if the current mode is the traffic condition input mode, displaying a current traffic condition on a screen in order for a selection; checking whether or not the current traffic condition is selected on the displayed screen; and if the traffic condition is selected, transmitting a traffic information message to a traffic information center, the traffic information message including the selected traffic condition, a current position and a current velocity.
