Abstract
A smart navigation device includes a storage unit for storing map information therein, a positioning module for determining a current location, and a navigation module for generating a navigation route based on a target location, the current location, and the map information. When the navigation route includes a plurality of toll roads and one of which is selected to be excluded from the navigation route, the navigation module re-plans to generate a cost-saving navigation route. Therefore, a user is allowed to select and avoid any toll road on the navigation route. A smart navigation method applicable to vehicle navigation is also disclosed.
Claims10
A smart navigation device, comprising:
- a storage unit storing map information therein;
- a positioning module determining a current location;
- a navigation module being electrically connected to the storage unit and the positioning module, and serving to generate a navigation route based on a target location, the current location, and the map information;
- and
- an input module being electrically connected to the navigation module, and being arranged for inputting the target location and further displaying the navigation route;
- wherein only when the navigation route displayed on the input module includes a plurality of toll roads displayed on the input module, such that one of the toll roads displayed on the input module is directly selected to be excluded from the navigation route displayed on the input module by a user via utilizing the input module, the navigation module generates a cost-saving navigation route that does not include the toll road displayed on the input module selected by the user.
A smart navigation method, comprising the following steps:
- storing map information in a storage unit;
- determining a current location via a positioning module;
- generating a navigation route via a navigation module basing on a target location inputted via a input module, the current location, and the map information;
- and
- displaying the navigation route via the input module;
- wherein only when the navigation route displayed on the input module including a plurality of toll roads displayed on the input module, such that one of which displayed on the input module is directly selected to be excluded from the navigation route displayed on the input module by a user via utilizing the input module, the navigation module generating a cost-saving navigation route that does not include the toll road displayed on the input module selected by the user.
