Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method of providing path information based on a status of a path and/or a purpose of the use of the path. A path information providing server collects environmental information from a sensing device. The path information providing server receives a path information request including a departure and a destination from a terminal device, and provides path information generated by mapping environmental data to a searched path.
Claims20
A path information providing server, comprising:
- an environmental information collecting unit to collect a plurality of environmental information including data sensed by a sensing device and information on a location at which the data is sensed;
- a path searching unit to search at least one path from a departure to a destination;
- a path information generating unit to generate path information by mapping the environmental information to the at least one searched path based on the location information included in the environmental information;
- and
- a communication unit to provide the path information to a terminal device upon receipt of a path information request including the departure and the destination.
A path information providing method comprising:
- collecting a plurality of environmental information including data sensed by a sensing device and information on a location at which the data is sensed;
- receiving a request corresponding to path information including a departure and a destination from a terminal device;
- searching to find at least one path from the departure to the destination;
- mapping at least one piece of the environmental information to the at least one searched path based on location information included in the environmental information;
- and
- generating and providing at least one piece of path information including the result of the mapping.
A terminal device, which receives path information from a path information providing server, comprising:
- a network interface unit to perform data transmission and receipt with the path information providing server;
- and
- a control unit to generate a path information request including information on a departure and a destination according to a user input signal, transmit the generated path information request to the path information providing server and control the network interface unit to receive at least one piece of path information from the path information providing server;
- wherein the at least one piece of path information includes mapping information in which relevant environmental information is mapped to each corresponding path.
A path information providing method of a terminal device which receives path information from a path information providing server, the method comprising:
- transmitting path request information including information on a departure and a destination to the path information providing server;
- and
- receiving at least one piece of path information from the path information providing server,
- wherein the at least one piece of path information includes mapping information in which relevant environmental information is mapped to each corresponding path.
