Pedestrian navigation device, pedestrian navigation system, pedestrian navigation method and program
First Claim
1. A pedestrian navigation device constituted in a mobile phone for navigating a pedestrian route, comprising:
- position information receiving means that acquires position information from a GPS system;
position information analyzing means that analyzes the position information received by the position information receiving means to calculate a present position;
map information storing means that stores map information received from a server that provides navigation information;
central processing means that calculates present position information based on the present position calculated by the position information analyzing means and the map information stored in the map information storing means;
vibrating means that generates a vibration guide based on the present position information calculated by the central processing means; and
voice guide output means that outputs a guide voice based on the present position information calculated by the central processing means, wherein;
the voice guide output means outputs the guide voice after a predetermined delay from the time the vibration guide is generated.

Abstract
A pedestrian navigation system provides distance information and travel directions to a destination. The system includes a pedestrian navigation device for navigating a pedestrian'"'"'s route by means of a vibration, a server for offering navigation information to the pedestrian navigation device, a network for connecting the pedestrian navigation device with the server to permit communication between each other, and a GPS for offering position information to the pedestrian navigation device. Further, the pedestrian navigation device can include a speaker for outputting a guide voice based on the user'"'"'s present position information, so as to start a voice guide after generating vibration, thereby facilitating verification of the guidance information provided.
