That is, the control unit 100 reaches the destination based on the current location of the navigation device according to the location information received through the location information receiving unit 110 , the destination input through the input unit 120 , and the map information stored in the storage unit 150 . It is possible to calculate the optimal path of Here, the optimal route means a route that takes the least time to reach the destination, the shortest route to the destination, and the like. Since calculating the optimal route corresponds to a general technique in the navigation field, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The controller 100 may generate recommendation information based on the user's payment information while guiding the route through the optimal route. Here, the user's payment information may include at least one or more of purchase frequency, recent purchase items, purchase items by time period, purchase industry, purchase brand, expenditure range, and purchase store information, and the recommended information may include a recommended route or a recommended POI (point). of interest).

That is, the control unit 100 may generate information about a recommended route or a recommended POI through a specific POI existing within a certain radius from the optimal route based on the user's past payment information, and display it through the display unit 130 can give

That is, as shown in FIG. 2 , during navigation through the optimal route, the controller 100 displays a recommended route through a cafe frequently visited by the user (ie, a store with a large number of payments by the user), or recommends such a cafe POI can be displayed as

More specifically, in this embodiment, the purchase frequency means information on the number of purchases for each category of goods, the recent purchase item means the purchase frequency for a recent certain period, and the purchase item by time period is information for each time period for each purchase. (Example: weekday purchases, weekend purchases, morning purchases, afternoon purchases, etc.), purchase type means industry information for each purchase (eg cafes, Korean food, desserts, etc.) range, and the purchase store information refers to the number of purchases for each store.

The controller 100 may analyze the user's purchase and payment patterns according to the user's payment information, and generate recommendation information through this. For example, the control unit 100 may assign a weight to each item included in the user's payment information, calculate a sum score for each POI in consideration of each weight, and the calculated sum score is equal to or greater than a reference value. A branch may be created as a recommended POI, or a route passing through such a branch may be created as a recommended route.

Also, the controller 100 may generate recommendation information by further considering purchase history information or POI information on an optimal path. Here, the purchase history information on the optimal route means information on past payment history for POIs on the optimal route, and the POI information includes card discount information, point information, membership information, and inventory status for each POI. can

That is, the control unit 100 may generate recommended information by utilizing information such as discount details and coupons of cards frequently used by the user, and may generate recommended information using event information of each store, point or mileage information, etc. may be

Even when the recommendation information is generated by further considering the purchase history information or POI information on the optimal route as described above, the controller 100 gives weight to each item (that is, each item of purchase history information or POI information on the optimal route) In this way, recommendation information can be generated.

Accordingly, the navigation device according to the present embodiment may be in the form of a mobile terminal such as a smart phone.

Also, the control unit 100 may transmit the calculated user's payment information to a cloud service or a DB to accumulate the information. That is, when generating the recommendation information, the controller 100 may receive the user's past payment information from the cloud or DB and reflect it in the generation of the recommendation information.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing recommendation information by a navigation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to this, a method for providing recommendation information for a navigation device according to this embodiment will be described as follows.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the controller 100 first receives a destination set ( S200 ). When the destination is set, the controller 100 may calculate an optimal route to the destination based on the current location, destination, and map information of the navigation device according to the location information received through the location information receiver 110 , It is possible to perform route guidance through an optimal route.

Subsequently, the controller 100 generates a recommended route or a recommended POI based on user information, route information, and POI information (S210). Here, the user information means payment information of the user, and may include at least one or more of purchase frequency, recent purchase items, purchase items by time period, purchase type, purchase brand, expenditure range, and purchase store information.

In addition, the route information may include a pre-calculated optimal route and purchase history information on the optimal route, and the POI information may include card discount information, point information, membership information, and stock status for each POI.

That is, the control unit 100 may assign a weight to each item (items included in the user's payment information, purchase history information on the optimal path, and items included in POI information), and take each POI into account in consideration of each weight. can calculate the sum score for , and a point where the calculated sum score is equal to or greater than a reference value can be generated as a recommended POI, or a path passing through such a point can be generated as a recommended path.

After the step (S220), the controller 100 displays the recommended route or the recommended POI generated in the step (S210) (S220). For example, the controller 100 may provide recommendation information by displaying a pop-up indication indicating that a recommended route or a recommended POI exists on the optimal route guidance screen.
