    Abstract: Disclosed is a route guidance apparatus of a personal navigation terminal, which includes a road structure information storage unit for storing information related to road structures, a user preference information storage unit for storing at least one road structure preference representing a preference of a user for the road structures, and a controller for determining a current location of the personal navigation terminal, computing routes to a destination from the current location, and selecting a user-preferred route preferred by a user from among the routes based on the at least one road structure preference. In the route guidance apparatus, a personal navigation terminal displays routes based on user preferences reflecting user characteristics instead of simply displaying the shortest route, thereby causing a user to take a proper route according to one's own characteristics and degree of fatigue.

    Abstract: A step detecting apparatus and method in a personal navigator where acceleration signals in at least two directions are acquired from an accelerometer sensor, as a pedestrian moves. Variances of the acceleration signals are calculated and summed. The variance sum is compared with a threshold. If the variance sum is greater than the threshold, it is determined that a detected step is a walking step. If the variance sum is less than the threshold, it is determined that the detected step is a mark-time step.

    Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption based on a motion sensor and a portable terminal adapted to the method are disclosed. The method includes terminating driving of a motion recognition program according to whether an input is detected by at least one sensor unit disposed in the portable terminal, and switching a mode of a controller included in the portable terminal into a motion recognition deactivation mode. The motion sensor-based portable terminal can reduce the power consumption, thereby lengthening the life span of the battery. The user can use the motion sensor-based portable terminal for a long period of time without frequently recharging its battery.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for estimating a step length of a user are provided. The apparatus and method use a step length estimation algorithm, e.g. a step length estimation parameter coefficient, according to a movement state of a user, i.e. whether the movement state is a walking state or a running state. The movement state of the user is determined on the basis of an acceleration variance value of an acceleration signal output from an accelerometer. Accordingly, the apparatus and method prevent errors in step length determinations.
