Description of the Invention: [Technical Field to Be Invented by the Invention] The present invention relates to a personal navigation device, and more specifically, to use a street on a personal green device. The name tells the user of the alternative route, the user, to learn about the alternative route. [Prior Art] The Global Positioning System (GPS)-based navigation device is a well-known device and is widely used in the vehicle field to provide driver navigation information. The second navigation device has functions including providing a map# The library is used to display the Kehang indication on the display device of the navigation device. The 4 navigation device is usually disposed on the vehicle<dashboard or the instrument panel in an adsorption mode or other installation manner. f Navigation Jun — The word meaning device can provide user navigation information to enable the user to arrive at the predetermined location. The navigation device may include an internal system (e.g., receive f) for receiving the ground material, or only for the connectable-receivable location data. The navigation device itself can calculate the route or communicate with the remote server to enable the remote feeding service to calculate the route and provide navigation information to the navigation device. Alternatively, the navigation device may be a mixture of the above two ages, that is, the navigation device itself and the remote server 201118341 are involved in the processing of the material (4). The personal GPS navigation device must be integrated into the vehicle 'but can be placed in the vehicle' or used in the vehicle. In general (non-essential conditions) 'personal GPS navigation devices are fully equipped devices, such as containing internal cafes, navigation software, and maps' to depict and display the route of travel required. The personal navigation device is dedicated to guiding the user to the best possible route to achieve the shortest time required to reach another location from one location. When a user selects a destination, the personal navigation device will determine the fastest track selection > from the currently available route. When selecting a route for a personal navigation device, immediate traffic information may be considered as it may affect the choice of route. Once route e is more than a personal guide, navigation instructions will be provided to guide the user to the destination. Sometimes, when the user has begun to advance along the originally selected route, the personal navigation device may be informed of additional information, such as updated traffic information, and ~ the original route that the user just moved forward. For example, when the user advances along the route selected by the original call, a major car break occurs on a certain road in the route. In the above case, the personal navigation device may suggest that the user substitute the route to prevent the person from entering the area of the Messer along the originally planned route. As another example, personal navigation devices = time-aware functions, such as they may include a ferry schedule, or include a timetable indicating the school attendance or school. When the time is close to the -significant time (such as the proximity of the school to the release of the school, the traffic around the school may be quite congested), the personal navigation device can be built by the user to choose an alternative route to avoid the congestion area. 201118341 The prior art personal navigation device provides an alternative route to the user by displaying the originally planned route and the alternate route on the map, and will be particularly prominent in the alternative route bar $. The user can see one or more maps 'each map shows a different alternative route' so that the user can select an alternative route from the alternative routes that should proceed. However, the display replacement used by the prior art personal navigation device The way the route is given to the user creates a considerable burden on the processor, just to map the map to the user with different alternative routes. In addition, there is a considerable degree of difficulty and danger for the user to study each map representing different alternative routes while driving. This makes it difficult for the user to determine the route to be selected in each of the alternative routes in a quick and safe manner. In some cases, the above method, in order to present the information provided to the user, and the manner in which Gu Yi understands, has caused invalid information to be provided to the user. For example, the message “Recommended X-kilometer roads to save γ minutes” can't really help users better _ generation roads to save _, causing inconvenience to users. • [Description of the Invention] The present invention provides an alternative route to a user of a "personal navigation device", which includes providing a navigation indication to guide the user to select one of the routes selected by the user. Touching and dividing the oily traffic data; Na's secret station data, determining the existence of the alternative route's first alternative route potentially has 201118341 该 2::== 佩崎継. When the user is in the system, the user guides the Λ ^ Φ ^ ^ original σ route, and a processor is used to control the secondary material, 'receive and analyze dynamic traffic _, and replace according to the dynamic traffic. The existence of the route, the first-alternative route is potentially more than the original vehicle time; and the user interface is used to prompt the use of the first-alternative route; the towel-the first-generation route is one-alternative route _ At least - the street name to describe. [Embodiment] • 4 Refer to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a block diagram of a personal navigation device 10 of the present invention. The personal navigation device 1G includes a display n 12, a GPS receiver 14, a processor 16, a speaker 18, a user interface 20, a microphone 22, a traffic information interface 24, and a memory 30. The display H 12 can be a touch screen. The Gps receiver 14 receives the current coordinates of the personal navigation device 10. The processor 16 is used to control the operation of the personal navigation device 1〇. . The memory 30 is used to store a map database 32 containing map data and landmarks (Pomtof mtei*est'P〇I). Note (4) 3 〇 $ storage path software %, text to voice software 36, and voice recognition software 38. 201118341 When users use personal guides!使用者 User Interface 2 〇 Select - Destination When the route selection software 34 will generate the route to the destination as soon as possible to provide to the user. The parent Tongbei sfl interface 24 can be used to receive dynamic traffic information, such as through the FM radio, to supply the route selection software 34, so that the route selection software 34 can be determined according to the instant movement, and the traffic signal determines the most (four). The route selection software 34 provides the determined route (original route) to the user' and the user begins to travel to the destination based on the determined route (original route). After the user has moved forward to the destination on the original route, the new traffic information can still be accessed through the traffic interface. #规f The gift of 24 is received (4) Traffic information indicates that when the parent route (5) is generated on the original route, the route selection software % can select other alternative routes that can reach the destination faster, instead of the original route. Route selection software 34 will judge the traffic problem · f, such as whether it is a traffic accident, road closure, or just «Sickle Road & slower speed..etc. After obtaining the above information, the route selection software % will start searching for alternative routes. The route selection software 34 will be based on all currently available funds. The ceremony is the fastest. The above information includes the road speed limit, the Dow type/crossing status. The winter-based route selection software 34 searches for - or more of the ', and the moxibustion mother line will be based on the title of the relevant street. Identification. , test 2 map. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the personal navigation device 1 显示 displaying an alternate route on the map to replace the original route. In the example of Figure 2, when the personal navigation device ίο receives the message about the "main major" road ahead of 201118341 Messer through the traffic information interface 24, the user is driving on the "main street". As the need for alternative routes becomes more apparent, the way-to-dip 34 can be side-turned to the voice software 36 and the speaker 18's to some of the street names in the # generation route. For example, the user can pick up the video and follow the instructions! "The main road to the front is congestion. Do you want to bypass the first avenue and the park street?" In this way, it is not necessary to transfer the line of sight to the display 12 of the personal guide to know the above information, and the information of the domain can be received immediately to determine the route to the alternative route. Of course, the same prompt message may also be displayed only on the display 12; or, displayed on the display field 12, while the phase 18 is simultaneously generated by the speaker 18. First, in the second example of the figure, the personal navigation device 10 of the present invention provides "First Da Li, A Yuan Street" to describe the route of the detour. In this way, the user can use the language ~ or press the button of the user interface of the personal navigation device 1 若 if the user voices the voice, the voice recognition individual will be shameful to analyze the response of the gambler is accepted or Refuse 1 〇 flute... 妓 1G provided by #代犹.

If the street route is used to describe the alternative route, the message to the individual can be as follows: "The main road is t-plugged, you want to _-Α道, 公岐街, to lead the way? i. The key requirement of the name is to select the appropriate street name to be stated so that the user can identify and use it. In order to achieve the hurricane, the following conditions can be used as the criteria for selecting which street name to touch the f generation route. The street name associated with the alternative route appears on the road sign near the current location of the personal navigation device, and the alternate route is described. The road location is stored in advance on the map of the memory 3Q of the personal navigation device 10. In the database %, the above information can be easily obtained. If the name of the first street of an alternative route is marked on a road sign and the personal navigation device ίο is currently visible on the road, the street The name can be used to describe the replacement tree. So, it is easy to take the alternative route to the first street instead of the route. The right-alternative route Part of the main street or main road, then the main street 201118341::::~ is unexplained. The street name is used for the use of the street name; account ==' shouted. (4) - thief Bina; write) = ^ ^ name should be mentioned in the description of the alternative route. Tian Jianzhi user alternative route, in the decision of the route side of the butterfly _ defeat - = in the Qi Kao The 311帛3 diagram is a flow chart for providing navigation instructions for alternative routes according to the present invention. The steps are as follows: Step 100 'Provide navigation instructions to guide the user on the selected original route. Step 102: Step 104: Step 106: Receive and analyze dynamic traffic data; determine whether there is an alternative route with a shorter transit time than the original route, if yes, proceed to step 106; if not, return to step 1; use at least A title name to inform the user of the alternative route, and ask the user to be a money path to a miscellaneous route; 201118341 Step 108 · Provide the user with a navigation indication for the alternative route. In summary, if an alternative route is described Street mentioned in The more the name of the road is for the user, the more it is possible to decide whether or not to choose the alternative route. When the user names the street mentioned in the description of the alternative route, he can immediately imagine the replacement. The outline of the route allows the user to make a quick decision when considering the alternative route, thus saving time and the degree of attention the user needs to concentrate on. That is to say, the present invention saves only the time considered by the user. Moreover, the user does not need to fully consider whether to switch the alternative route, so that the user can still maintain the special attention when driving, so that the user can safely select when the original route becomes unsuitable for use. An alternative route to reach the destination provides greater convenience to the user. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
