Patent ID: 7940741

Claim:
A method for identifying traffic information in an information terminal, the method comprising: receiving a message structure including traffic data including: information corresponding to a first location associated with a first position and a second location associated with a second position, information corresponding to a prediction of travel speed for traverse from the first position to the second position, a first identifier identifying that the traffic data relates to the prediction of travel speed for traverse from the first position to the second position, information corresponding to a current travel speed for traverse from the first position to the second position, a second identifier identifying that the traffic data relates to the current travel speed for traverse from the first position to the second position, information corresponding to a current amount of congestion for traverse from the first position to the second position, a third identifier identifying that the traffic data relates to the current amount of the congestion for traverse from the first position to the second position, information corresponding to a prediction of an amount of congestion for traverse from the first position to the second position, a fourth identifier identifying that the traffic data relates to the prediction of the amount of the congestion for traverse from the first position to the second position, information corresponding to a language code of information reflected in the traffic data, information corresponding to a message management structure including information corresponding to a generation time of the message structure, a message identifier to identify the message structure, and a version number of information reflected in the traffic data; and decoding the traffic data in the message structure.
