Electronic device equipped with function of indicating direction of destination and method of indicating direction of destination
View Patent ↗A method for indicating a direction of a destination in a mobile communication terminal includes: receiving network identification information from a mobile communication network that is currently accessed; reading current location and declination information corresponding to the network identification information from a mobile communication network information table; obtaining true north information by using the declination information to correct magnetic north information of a current location measured with a geomagnetic sensor; obtaining direction information of the destination from the current location information on the basis of the true north information; and displaying the direction information of the destination.
1. A method for indicating a direction of a destination in an electronic device, comprising:
obtaining current location information and declination information from a mobile communication network;
measuring magnetic north information of a current location with a geomagnetic sensor;
obtaining direction information of the destination from the current location information on the basis of the magnetic north information; and
displaying the direction information of the destination.
2. A method for indicating a direction of a destination in an electronic device, comprising:
obtaining current location and declination information from a communication network;
measuring magnetic north information of a current location with a geomagnetic sensor;
obtaining true north information by using the declination information to correct the magnetic north information of the current location;
obtaining direction information of the destination from the current location information on the basis of the true north information; and
displaying the direction information of the destination.
3. A method for indicating a direction of a destination in an electronic device, comprising:
obtaining current location information from a mobile communication network, wherein current location information further comprises latitude, longitude, and the declination information from a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN);
measuring magnetic north information of a current location with a geomagnetic sensor;
obtaining direction information of the destination from the current location information on the basis of the magnetic north information; and
displaying the direction information of the destination.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the current location information is obtained from a mobile communication network.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the current location and declination information are obtained from a mobile communication network.
6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the current location information is obtained from a mobile communication network.
7. A computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for implementing the method recited in claim 1 when executed.
8. A computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for implementing the method recited in claim 2 when executed.
9. A computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for implementing the method recited in claim 3 when executed.
