METHOD, SYSTEM AND TERMINAL FOR PROVIDING MAP INFORMATION

摘要

Disclosed are a method and system for providing map information by a terminal supporting a navigation function, and more particularly, variably displaying map information as a streaming image map or an embedded vector map according to a travel state in a route guide service. Accordingly, since the present invention variably supports two-type map information including the embedded vector map and the streaming image map in the navigation function, it is possible to use map information through the streaming image map when a detailed, clear image is needed, and it is possible to use a route guide service through the embedded vector map providing more accurate and general map information while moving. Also, it is possible to efficiently receive map information applied to a navigation function from a service device connected through a communication network and accordingly, it is possible to efficiently perform the navigation function provided from a terminal.

主权项

1. A system for providing map information, the system comprising:
a terminal configured to, upon execution of a certain application performed based on a map, display the map by variably applying streaming image map-based map information that is received from a service device and embedded vector map-based map information that is stored in advance, depending on a predetermined condition; and the service device configured to transmit map information corresponding to current location information according to a request from the terminal.
