Abstract
This invention discloses a control system and method thereof that is applied to a navigation apparatus. The system includes an apparatus body, a tag, a reader, a recognition module, and a processor. The apparatus body is mounted in the navigation apparatus to provide a navigation function. The tag is mounted on an object to provide a recognition data. The reader is used to detect and read the recognition data. The recognition module is used to compare the recognition data with a predetermined recognition data in order to generate a trigger signal. The processor is used to receive the trigger signal and then drives the apparatus body to perform a wakeup mode. If the processor does not receive the trigger signal in a determined period, the processor will drive the apparatus body to perform a sleep mode.
Claims28
A control system applied to a satellite navigation apparatus, comprising:
- an apparatus body installed in said satellite navigation apparatus for providing a navigation function;
- a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag disposed on an object for providing a recognition data;
- a reader installed in said satellite navigation apparatus for detecting and reading said recognition data;
- a recognition module installed in said satellite navigation apparatus for comparing said recognition data with a predetermined recognition data;
- if said recognition data matches said predetermined recognition data, then said recognition module will generate a trigger signal;
- and
- a processor installed in said satellite navigation apparatus for receiving said trigger signal to drive said apparatus body to perform a wakeup mode;
- thereby, if said processor does not receive said trigger signal in a predetermined period, said processor will drive said apparatus body to enter a sleep mode.
A control method applied to a satellite navigation apparatus having an apparatus body and a processor, and said apparatus body providing a navigation function, and said method comprising the steps of:
- disposing a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag on an object to generate a recognition data;
- installing a reader to said satellite navigation apparatus, and said reader being provided for detecting and reading said recognition data;
- installing a recognition module to said satellite navigation apparatus, and said recognition module being provided for comparing said recognition data with a predetermined recognition data;
- if said recognition data matches said predetermined recognition data, said recognition module will generate a trigger signal and send said trigger signal to said processor;
- and
- if said processor receives said trigger signal, said processor will drive said apparatus body to perform a wakeup mode;
- and if said processor does not receive said trigger signal in a predetermined period, said processor will drive said apparatus body to enter a sleep mode.
