Provided by the navigation application 543 or received by the traffic information receiving unit 60.

Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of displaying a prompt message on the navigation device 50 according to the present invention. The method includes the following steps:

Step 100: The satellite signal receiving module 52 of the navigation device 50 receives the positioning signal.

Step 102: The control unit 66 of the navigation device 50 controls the display module 56 to display the corresponding navigation map 541 in the map block 561 according to the positioning signal.

Step 104: The control unit 66 of the navigation device 50 controls the prompt block 68 to present a corresponding prompt message according to the traffic information.

Step 106: End.

For the above steps, the satellite signal receiving module 52 can receive the positioning signal, for example, can receive the satellite positioning signal through the global navigation satellite system, thereby locating the current location of the navigation device 50; The control unit 66 of the device 50 controls the display module 56 to display the corresponding navigation map 541 in the map block 561 according to the positioning signal. During this time, the user can input a manipulation command through the input module 58, for example, a navigation command can be input. , navigation destination or navigation mode, etc. It is to be noted that the control unit 66 may display a corresponding prompt message according to the traffic information control prompt block 68 with different light effects, and the traffic information may be provided by the navigation application 543 or received by the road condition information receiving unit 60. .

For example, the control unit 66 can control the prompt block 68 to emit light with different color lights according to the navigation path real-time information information received by the road condition information receiving unit 60, that is, the light source 64 in the control frame 62 is presented with different colors. Road conditions, to prompt the immediate traffic conditions of the navigation path. Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the instant road condition of the navigation path of the navigation device 50 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For example, when the light source 64 emits green light, it means that the traffic is smooth, that is, the speed is up to 80 kilometers per hour. The above or other roads are smooth; when the light source 64 emits yellow light, it means a little traffic jam, which means that the speed is 40 to 79 kilometers per hour or other roads are slow; when the light source 64 emits red light, it means that the vehicle is crowded, meaning hourly When the speed is lower than 40 kilometers or other roads are crowded; and the light source 64 emits red and black light, it means that the vehicle is stopped and stopped. For example, the highway and other roads are very crowded, and the vehicle stops and stops. The correspondence between the color light emitted by the prompt block 68 and the instant road condition is not limited to the above, and the end depends on the actual design requirements.

In another example, the control unit 66 may also direct the information control prompt block 68 to emit light according to the navigation path provided by the navigation application 543 at different color lights, different blinking frequencies, or different presentation ratios, thereby prompting the current navigation device 50. The distance between the location and the next steering point planned by the navigation path. Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the current position and the next turning position of the navigation device 50 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For example, the navigation device 50 can be alerted by controlling the light source 64 to change in multiple steps or blinking. The distance between the current position and the next turn, for example, a three-stage change mechanism can be designed. When the current position is between 1 km and 500 meters from the next turn, the light source 64 is in the constant light mode; when the current position is When the distance of the next turn is between 500 meters and 100 meters, the light source 64 is in the breathing signal mode (for example, switching once per second); when the current position is less than 100 meters from the next turning point, the light source 64 is blinking. The light signal mode (such as switching three times per second), so as to increase the frequency of the flashing switching (low frequency to high frequency flashing) to strengthen the user to get closer to the next turning position, and to prepare for steering, such as early switching Lanes and directional lights. In addition, the breathing light mode can be changed by multiplying the original RGB three-color value (0-255 interval) by the percentage to be increased or decreased, and setting each complete fade-to-fade cycle requires corresponding consumption. Time, such as setting each complete fade-to-light cycle takes 1.5 seconds; in flashing mode, you can set a change every 3 mm (3 times / sec), and an odd number of times (RGB) Equal to the set value), even times dark (RGB three colors are 0); in the constant light mode can be set to start from the event trigger according to the preset RGB three-color value, until the end of the event, turn off the light (RGB three-color zero ), or the next event is triggered to be replaced by the RGB color and lighting effect corresponding to the next event. In addition, the control unit 66 can also guide the information control prompt block 68 to emit light at different presentation positions according to the navigation path, thereby prompting the navigation path to plan the steering direction of the next steering position, for example, when the light is emitted on the right side of the frame 62. In the right turn direction, the right turn direction, when the light is emitted on the left side of the frame 62, the left turn direction is the next turn. The correspondence between the color light emitted by the prompt block 68 and the navigation path guidance information is not limited to the above, and the end depends on the actual design requirements.

In another example, the control unit 66 may also receive the navigation event information (such as a speed camera event) provided by the navigation application 543 or the navigation information received by the road condition information receiving unit 60. Event information (e.g., an instant traffic accident) control prompt block 68 emits light at a particular color light or a particular blinking frequency to indicate a corresponding navigation path event. Please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the navigation device 50 prompting the navigation path event according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For example, the navigation event information built in the navigation application 543 (such as a speed camera position prompt) The real-time navigation event information (such as an immediate traffic accident or a diversion notification event) received by the traffic information receiving unit 60 is used to remind the user to respond early. For example, it can be designed to flash at a high frequency of red (3 times/Sec) before the road speed limit of 40 to 70 kilometers per hour, and when the road speed limit is 80 to 120 kilometers per hour, Flashing at high frequency red (3 times/Sec) before 1000 meters to 1500 meters. The correspondence between the color light emitted by the prompt block 68 and the navigation event information is not limited to the above, and the end depends on the actual design requirements.

In another example, the control unit 66 may also according to the navigation end prompt information control prompt block 68 to emit light at a specific color light or a specific blinking frequency, thereby prompting the current position of the navigation device 50 to approach the end of the navigation path. Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the navigation device 50 prompting to approach the end of the navigation path according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For example, when it is detected that the current position of the navigation device 50 is about 300 meters away from the navigation end point, Light source 64 may have a cueing color (eg, bright green) high frequency flicker (3 times/Sec) to inform the user that the navigation endpoint is about to arrive, to avoid the user not realizing that the navigation endpoint has been exceeded. The correspondence between the color light emitted by the prompt block 68 and the navigation end point prompt information is not limited to the above, and the end depends on the actual design requirements.

In addition, in another embodiment, the prompt block 68 can be softly presented in the screen displayed by the display module 56, that is, the control unit 66 can be used to control the display module 56 to be in a software manner on the map block. The outer edge of 561 displays the prompt block 68; or the combination of the frame 62 and the light source 64 and the outer edge of the map block 561 can also display the prompt block 68, depending on actual design requirements. For example, the control unit 66 can control the display module 56 to emit light with different color lights in the prompt block 68 on the outer edge of the map block 561 according to the navigation path real-time information received by the road condition information receiving unit 60. The immediate road condition of the path, or directly to the navigation The light is emitted by different color lights on the path, so as to prompt the immediate road condition of the navigation path, the principle of action is the same as the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described in detail herein. In another example, the control unit 66 may control the display module 56 according to the navigation path provided by the navigation application 543 to display the display block 56 at the outer edge of the map block 561 with different color lights, different blinking frequencies, or different. The presentation ratio emits light, thereby prompting the current position of the navigation device 50 and the distance of the next steering point planned by the navigation path, or emitting light with different arrow directions or different presentation positions, thereby prompting the navigation path to plan the steering of the next steering position. direction. Please refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the current position and the next turning position of the navigation device 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. For example, the prompt block 68 displayed by the display module 56 can be gradually increased. The color light display area (such as 1/3 aliquot to 3/3 aliquot) and the low frequency to high frequency arrow flicker frequency (such as 2~4/sec) to predict the steering direction and the user ready to turn and the last instant turn notification The principle of action is also the same as the previous embodiment, and will not be described in detail herein.

In another example, the control unit 66 can also control the navigation event information (such as a speed camera event) provided by the navigation application 543 or the navigation event information (such as an instant traffic accident) received by the road condition information receiving unit 60.
