Abstract

A navigation method is provided. The method includes obtaining a navigation destination of a first navigation application of a mobile terminal. Once the navigation destination is sent from the mobile terminal to a vehicle-mounted device, a second navigation application of the vehicle-mounted device is controlled to navigate based on the navigation destination.

Claims (25)

1. A navigation method comprising:

obtaining a navigation destination of a first navigation application of a mobile terminal;

controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate in a walking navigation mode, based on the navigation destination;

after controlling the first navigation application to navigate in the walking navigation mode, sending the navigation destination of the first navigation application to a vehicle-mounted device;

controlling a second navigation application of the vehicle-mounted device to navigate in a driving navigation mode based on the navigation destination of the first navigation application,

sending, by the vehicle-mounted device, a navigation destination of the second navigation application to the mobile terminal, when the vehicle-mounted device meets preset conditions;

determining, by the mobile terminal, whether a current location of the mobile terminal is same as the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the navigation destination of the second navigation application is received; and

controlling, by the mobile terminal, the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the current location of the mobile terminal is different from the navigation destination of the second navigation application,

wherein the preset conditions comprise: a first condition that a user account being logged out of the second navigation application of the vehicle-mounted device; and a second condition that a current location of the vehicle-mounted device and the navigation destination of the second navigation application are different.

2. A navigation method comprising:

sending, from a vehicle-mounted device, a navigation destination of a second navigation application of the vehicle-mounted device to a mobile terminal, when the vehicle-mounted device meets preset conditions, wherein the preset conditions comprise: a first condition that a user account being logged out of the second navigation application of the vehicle-mounted device; and a second condition that a current location of the vehicle-mounted device and the navigation destination of the second navigation application are different;

determining, by the mobile terminal, whether a current location of the mobile terminal is same as the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the navigation destination of the second navigation application is received by the mobile terminal; and

controlling, by the mobile terminal, a first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the current location of the mobile terminal is different from the navigation destination of the second navigation application.

3. The navigation method according to claim 2 , wherein the controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application comprises:

calculating a distance between the current location of the mobile terminal and the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the current location of the mobile terminal is different from the navigation destination of the second navigation application;

controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application in a walking navigation mode when the distance is less than a preset value; and

controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application in a smart navigation mode when the distance is greater than or equal to the preset value.

4. The navigation method according to claim 2 , wherein the controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application comprises:

displaying a pop-up window on a display of the mobile terminal to prompt a user whether to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the current location of the mobile terminal is different from the navigation destination of the second navigation application; and

controlling the first navigation application to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when a confirmation signal is received from the pop-up window.

5. The navigation method according to claim 2 , wherein the controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application comprises:

displaying a pop-up window on a display of the mobile terminal to prompt a user whether to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when the current location of the mobile terminal is different from the navigation destination of the second navigation application;

calculating a distance between the current location of the mobile terminal and the navigation destination of the second navigation application, when a confirmation signal is received from the pop-up window;

controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application in a walking navigation mode, when the distance is less than a preset value; and

controlling the first navigation application of the mobile terminal to navigate based on the navigation destination of the second navigation application in a smart navigation mode, when the distance is greater than or equal to the preset value.
