摘要： 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.

In the route seeking device comprising a route seeking section for seeking a route from a start point to a goal with reference to a route network DB consisting of nodes, links to which attribute information representing the groups to which the links belong is added, and costs. The route seeking section calculates a specific upper-order bit in a link cost accumulation value memory of the link as logic “1” such that the potential at the reached node of a spreading node exceeds a potential assumed in route seek if the attribute information on the tracked link is different from that of a link spreading from the reached node with the potential at the reached node is calculated by accumulating the costs of the links along an outgoing link from the start node, and outputs the thus determined route of minimum accumulation cost as a guide route requiring the smallest number of transfers.

摘要： A navigation device performs a route guidance based on a route from a current location to a destination, the navigation device being connected to a server for searching the route. A navigation method for the navigation device includes sending a request for searching the route to the server and receiving information on the route from the server. The method also includes measuring an elapsed time from a start of the route guidance, and performing the route guidance based on the information received. The method further includes cutting off a communication with the server and coming into a standby state, upon a determination that the elapsed time measured has reached a predetermined time and when the route is being guided or a current location is being checked, to decrease a bandwidth usage between the navigation device and the server and to reduce a communication charge associated with the bandwidth usage.
