Service selection apparatus, service selection method and navigation apparatus

Abstract

The invention provides a service selection apparatus, a service selection method and a navigation apparatus. The service selection apparatus selects services provided by a plurality of service providing mediums and comprises an input part, a retrieval part, an extraction part and an output part, wherein the input part allows a user to designate a desired service; the retrieval part can use the plurality of service providing mediums based on data communication for retrieving service providing facilities capable of providing the service designated by the user; the extraction part acquires the comparison values of the services provided by the service providing facilities, retrieved by the retrieval part, via the service providing mediums and extracts a service providing medium with a comparative value satisfying a predetermined condition; and the output part outputs the service providing facilities and the service providing medium and comparison value extracted by the extraction part as service selection information related to the service. Thus, a user does not need to repeatedly switch the plurality of service providing mediums, so operation burden on the user is avoided, treating quantity is reduced, and electricity consumption and data communication traffic are decreased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a service selection device, a service selection method, and a navigation device, and more particularly, to a service selection device, a service selection method, and a navigation device that select services provided via a plurality of service providing media based on data communication. Background technique [0002] A navigation device is widely installed in various vehicles, and when a driver sets a destination, guides the driver to drive the vehicle so that the driver can easily reach the destination. Among them, when the driver goes to the destination to buy a product, some navigation devices can compare the prices of the product that the driver wants to buy, and recommend a store where the product can be purchased at the cheapest price as the destination. . [0003] As an improvement to the above-mentioned prior art, Patent Document 1 provides a commodity information providing device. In Patent Document 1, commod...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] In the above process, in order to view and compare, the user has to repeatedly switch between multiple service-providing applications on the electronic device, causing an operational burden on the user

Moreover, in the electronic device running the above-mentioned multiple service-providing applications, due to repeated switching and running of multiple service-providing applications, there are still technical problems in that the processing amount of the electronic device increases and the power consumption accelerates.

Furthermore, the service providing application generally actively connects to the network when switched to the running state in order to obtain the latest information through data communication, so repeated switching and running of multiple service providing applications will also increase the data communication traffic of the electronic device. technical problem
