System and Method for Expressing Map According to Change Season and Topography

1 . A system for displaying a map, the system comprising:

a map database maintaining map data associated with a route;

a map data identification unit identifying map data corresponding to a driving route of a vehicle from the map database;

an information receiving unit receiving weather information associated with a current seasonal weather from a background service server in real time;

a background data generation unit generating background data according to an actual environment based on the received weather information; and

a route guidance unit guiding a route by associating the map data with the generated background data.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a background database storing a background table and a background color table, the background table including background information for each category, and the background color table including pattern information and color information for each season; and

an information identification unit identifying background information, and pattern information and color information for each season corresponding to current date information from the background database by analyzing the current date information.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the background data generation unit generates the background data based on the identified background information, the pattern information and the color information for each season, and the weather information.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the background database classifies the background information according to a height of a terrain and stores the classified background information, and the route guidance unit differently displays the map data according to the terrain expressed by the background information.

5 . A system for displaying a map, the system comprising:

a background database maintaining background information for each category, and pattern information and color information for each season according to the category;

a user interface unit receiving a starting location and a destination from a user;

an information receiving unit receiving date information and weather information from a background service server;

an information identification unit identifying background information, and pattern information and color information for each season corresponding to the date information from the background database;

a background data generation unit generating background data based on the weather information, the background information, and the pattern information and the color information for each season; and

a route guidance unit guiding a route by associating map data from the starting location to the destination, with the generated background data.

6 . A method of displaying a map, the method comprising:

maintaining map data associated with a route in a map database;

identifying map data corresponding to a driving route of a vehicle from the map database;

receiving weather information associated with a current seasonal weather from a background service server in real time;

generating background data according to an actual environment based on the received weather information; and

guiding a route by associating the map data with the generated background data.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

storing a background table and a background color table, the background table including background information for each category, and the background color table including pattern information and color information for each season; and

identifying background information, and pattern information and color information for each season corresponding to current date information from the background database by analyzing the current date information.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the generating generates the background data based on the identified background information, the pattern information and the color information for each season, and the weather information.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the storing classifies the background information according to a height of a terrain and stores the classified background information in the background database, and the guiding differently displays the map data according to the terrain expressed by the background information.

10 . A method of displaying a map, the method comprising:

maintaining background information for each category, and pattern information and color information for each season according to the category in a background database;

receiving a starting location and a destination from a user;

receiving date information and weather information from a background service server;

identifying background information, and pattern information and color information for each season corresponding to the date information from the background database;

generating background data based on the weather information, the background information, and the pattern information and the color information for each season; and

guiding a route by associating map data from the starting location to the destination, with the generated background data.

11 . A computer-readable recording medium storing a program for implementing the method according to claim 6 .
