Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002001155
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A mobile station (1) serves in association with a corresponding method to guide a user, especially a pedestrian, to a destination. For this purpose an on-line service computes a travel route on the basis of user data concerning the start point and destination and transmits route data to the mobile station in the form of route destinations for stages of the route. Each route destination contains at least one specification of direction and a destination name. The mobile station (1) signals the target direction and the name of the destination of the route to the user via internal optical and/or acoustic output means (7). The route data are output in stepwise manner in the form of a series of stages of the route and the user confirms reaching a current route destination by means of an input into the mobile station (1). In this way the output of the route data is updated. In order to be able to define a target direction for the current route destination an appropriate application software package and a direction indicator (22), preferably a compass responding to the earth's magnetic field, are integrated in the mobile station (1).
