Claim Text:
1. A method for providing route guidance that is executed by a route guiding apparatus, a bio-signal sensing unit and a server including a controller, the route guiding apparatus including a location sensing unit and an operation recognition unit, the method comprising: the route guiding apparatus transmitting to the server a user's location sensing signal representing a location of the user and sensed by the location sensing unit; the server receiving the user's location sensing signal from the route guiding apparatus; the route guiding apparatus transmitting to the server a user's operation recognition signal representing an operation of the user, recognized by the operation recognition unit; the server receiving the user's operation recognition signal from the route guiding apparatus; the route guiding apparatus transmitting to the server a user's bio-signal representing a user's bioactivity sensed by the bio-signal sensing unit; the server receiving the user's bio-signal from the route guiding apparatus; the controller recognizing a kind of road where the users is currently moving, based on the location sensing signal, the movement recognition signal and the bio-signal; the controller determining map data based on the recognized kind of the road, the map data corresponding to the location of the user; the server transmitting the determined map data to the route guiding apparatus; the route guiding apparatus receiving the map data from the server; and the route guiding apparatus guiding a route to a destination based on the map data, wherein said transmitting to the server the user's operation recognition signal comprises a vibration level and a rotational inertia for the user.
