Broadcast receiver and method of providing a location guide service in a broadcast receiver

摘要

A method for providing a location guide service for a place related to a broadcasting program by using electronic program guide (EPG) data and a broadcasting receiver for the method are provided. The method includes: decoding EPG data including location information of at least one place related to each broadcasting program; outputting the decoded electronic program guide data; detecting location information of at least one place related to the selected broadcasting program in the decoded electronic program guide data; and outputting the detected location information. The method may further include detecting and outputting a shortest path between the current location of a broadcasting receiver and a place related to the selected broadcasting program, based on the detected location information, the current location information of the broadcasting receiver, and traffic information.
