## Abstract

A navigation message providing system and a method thereof are provided. A server searches, according to a planned moving path, for a location message corresponding to a target location, and when determining that a distance or a relative position of a position where the navigation terminal is currently located and the target location satisfies a predetermined condition or determining that preset time or a preset position is met, a navigation terminal displays the satisfied or met location message, so as to give a prompt to a user when close to the target location, and achieve the technical efficacy of proactively providing location message of the target location.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A navigation message providing method, at least comprising:
a navigation terminal setting a path planning parameter, wherein the path planning parameter at least comprises a starting position and at least one target location;
the navigation terminal transferring the path planning parameter to a server;
the server planning a moving path according to the path planning parameter;
the server searching for at least one location message corresponding to each target location according to the moving path;
the navigation terminal displaying the moving path; and
the navigation terminal displaying a location message corresponding to a target location that satisfies the predetermined condition when determining that a driving distance or a relative position of a position where the navigation terminal is currently located and each target location satisfies a predetermined condition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The navigation message providing method according to claim 1, wherein the step of the navigation terminal setting the path planning parameter is: the navigation terminal setting the path planning parameter through a voice operation and/or a touch operation.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method for providing navigation message according to claim 1, wherein the step of displaying the location message corresponding to the target location that satisfies the predetermined condition further comprises a step of the navigation terminal adjusting display time and a display frequency of each location message according to a distance between the position where the navigation terminal is currently located and each target location on the moving path.

### Claim 4

A navigation message providing method, at least comprising the following steps:
a navigation terminal setting a path planning parameter, wherein the path planning parameter at least comprises a starting position and at least one target location;
the navigation terminal transferring the path planning parameter to a server;
the server planning a moving path according to the path planning parameter;
the server searching for at least one location message corresponding to at least one target location according to the moving path;
the server determining preset time or a preset position of each location message according to the path planning parameter;
the navigation terminal displaying the moving path;
the navigation terminal determining whether the preset time or the preset position of each location message satisfies a predetermined condition; and
the navigation terminal displaying the location message satisfied the predetermined condition.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The navigation message providing method according to claim 4, wherein the step of the navigation terminal displaying the location message satisfied the predetermined condition further comprises a step of the navigation terminal adjusting display time and a display frequency of each location message according to a time difference between current time and preset time of each location message, or according to a distance between a position where the navigation terminal is currently located and a preset position of each location message.

### Claim 6

A navigation message providing system, applied to a navigation terminal, at least comprising:
a parameter setting module, used for setting a path planning parameter, wherein the path planning parameter at least comprises a starting position and at least one target location, and is used for planning and generating a moving path;
a transmission module, used for receiving at least one location message corresponding to at least one target location, wherein the location message is found according to the moving path; and
a display module, used for displaying the moving path, and used for displaying a met location message when preset time or a preset position in each location message satisfies a predetermined condition, or displaying a location message corresponding to a target location when a distance or a relative position of a position where the navigation terminal is currently located and the target location satisfies the predetermined condition.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The navigation message providing system according to claim 6, further comprising a positioning module, used for continually obtaining position information, so as to determine a position where the navigation terminal is currently located.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The navigation message providing system according to claim 7, further comprising a target prompt module, used for outputting a prompt message corresponding to a target location when determining that a distance between the position where the navigation terminal is currently located and the target location on the moving path is smaller than a preset value.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The navigation message providing system according to claim 7, wherein the display module is further used for adjusting display time and a display frequency of each location message according to a distance between the position where the navigation terminal is currently located and each target location on the moving path, according to a time difference between current time and preset time of each location message, or according to a distance between the position where the navigation terminal is currently located and a preset position of each location message.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The navigation message providing system according to claim 6, further comprising a path planning module, used for generating the moving path according to the path planning parameter, wherein the transmission module is further used for transferring the moving path to the server, and receiving at least one location message corresponding to each target location when the sever finds each target location according to the moving path and returned the location messages back.
