System and method for displaying guidance symbol
Disclosed are a system and a method of displaying a guidance symbol. The guidance symbol displaying system may include a distance difference calculator to calculate a distance difference between a user location and a guidance symbol location, and a symbol display controller to control display of the guidance symbol by calculating a size of the guidance symbol based on the distance difference.
1. A system of displaying guidance symbols, comprising:
a display configured to display a plurality of guidance symbols on a 3D map, each of the guidance symbols having respectively corresponding positions on the 3D map to represent guidance symbol locations; and
a controller configured to:
display of each of the guidance symbols at respectively corresponding positions on the 3D map according to distance differences between a predetermined location and guidance symbol locations respectively corresponding to the guidance symbols;
scale a size of a display guidance symbol to a scaled-size based upon a scale value when a distance difference between a guidance symbol location for the guidance symbol and a predetermined location is less than a first distance;
set a size of a display guidance symbol to a fixed size when a distance difference between a guidance symbol location for the guidance symbol and a predetermined location is greater than the first distance;
wherein each of the guidance symbols respectively correspond to guidance symbol locations different from each other.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
calculate the distance difference between a predetermined location and the guidance symbol location, and
determine a scale value according to the calculated distance difference when the calculated distance difference is less than the first distance.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined location is a user location or a vehicle location.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to disappear one of the guidance symbols on the display when the distance difference between the user location or the vehicle location and the guidance symbol location corresponding to the one of the guidance symbols is less than a second distance, which is less than the first distance.
5. A method of displaying guidance symbols, each of the guidance symbols having respectively corresponding positions on the 3D map to respectively represent guidance symbol locations on a display, comprising:
scaling a size of a guidance symbol to a scaled-size based upon a scale value when a distance difference between a guidance symbol location for the guidance symbol and a predetermined location is less than a first distance;
setting a size of a guidance symbol to a fixed-size when a distance difference between a guidance symbol location liar the guidance symbol and a predetermined location is greater than the first distance; and
displaying each of fixed-size set and scaled-size guidance symbols at respectively corresponding positions on the 3D map;
wherein each of the guidance symbols respectively correspond to guidance symbol locations different from each other.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the controlling the display further includes:
calculating the distance difference between a predetermined location and the guidance symbol location, and
determining a scale value of each of the guidance symbols based on the calculated distance difference when the calculated distance difference is less than the first distance.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the predetermined location is a user location or a vehicle location.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
disappearing guidance symbols on the display when the distance difference between the user location or the vehicle location and the guidance symbol location corresponding to the one of the guidance symbols is less than a second distance, which is less than the first distance.
