The recognized objects may be indicative of navigational instructions, for example, a navigation route. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20140330517 | Method and Apparatus for a Transit Timeline - A method comprising determining a transit timeline indicative of a commute from a start location to a destination location, and causing display of a representation of the transit timeline such that, at least part of, the transit timeline is configured to surround a center point such that time along the transit timeline is represented by an angle from the center point is disclosed. | 11-06-2014 |
| 20140343853 | NAVIGATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATING - An object of the present invention is to provide a navigation technology capable of enhancing convenience for a user in the cancellation of the designation of an interchange on a guide route. In order to achieve the object, a navigation device of the present invention includes: a route guide unit capable of presenting a guide route; and a re-routing unit that cancels the designation of an interchange based on detection of a predetermined condition including at least one of a first condition, a second condition and a third condition, and performs re-routing for the guide route. Then, the first condition is a predetermined number of re-routings on a general road, the second condition is entrance to the expressway from an interchange different from the designated entrance interchange, and the third condition is entrance to the general road from an interchange located before the designated exit interchange in a traveling direction. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20140372037 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING TRAVEL ROUTE OF PORTABLE MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS - A method and device for providing a travel route of a portable medical diagnosis apparatus include acquiring a travel image obtained by capturing a space to move of the medical diagnosis apparatus; predicting the travel route of the medical diagnosis apparatus on the basis of a steering angle of the medical diagnosis apparatus; and displaying information regarding the travel route on the travel image. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20150112593 | Humanized Navigation Instructions for Mapping Applications - A humanized navigation system provides humanized instructions that mimic a real human navigator, focuses on comprehension rather than precision, and attempts to make the navigation session less stressful for the user. In some implementations, complex navigation situations are classified according to shared common navigation problems. Once a class is determined, humanized navigation instructions are generated and/or selected based on the class and the current location of the user. The humanized navigation instructions include information to aid the user in navigating a route. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20150127259 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPTICAL SENSOR NAVIGATION - Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a navigational constraint for a portable device using an optical sensor. The navigational constraint may be used to supplement other navigational solutions or may be used independently. The optical sensor may capture a plurality of samples to be processed to determine the constraint. Determining the constraint may include any or all of determining a context for usage, distinguishing usage modes, estimating an orientation of the portable device, determining an absolute and/or relative elevation, determining a direction of motion and determining a speed of the portable device from the samples. | 05-07-2015 |
| 20150134249 | WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A wearable electronic device is provided. The wearable electronic device includes a gravity sensor, a processor and an input/output module. The gravity sensor is used for sensing a moving direction of the wearable electronic device. The gravity sensor and the input/output module are electrically connected to the processor, respectively. The processor generates navigation information according to the moving direction. The input/output module displays the navigation information. | 05-14-2015 |
| 20150345952 | Method and Apparatus for Improved Navigation for Cycling - A method and apparatus for providing an enhanced navigation solution for cycling applications is described herein. The navigation solution is about a device within a platform, which is a cycling platform such as for example a bicycle, a tricycle, or a unicycle amongst others. The device can be in any orientation with respect to the platform (such as for example in any location or orientation on the body of the cyclist). The device includes a sensor assembly. The sensors in the device may be for example, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, barometer among others. The present method and apparatus can work whether in the presence or in the absence of navigational information updates (such as, for example, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or WiFi positioning). | 12-03-2015 |
| 20160076895 | NAVIGATION SYSTEM ACQUISITION AND USE OF CELLULAR COVERAGE MAP DATA - A mobile device can obtain wireless network signal strength map data that indicates, for various nearby geographical regions, the wireless network signal strength in each such region. A mobile device can transmit that data to a vehicular navigation system responsible for automatically selecting a high-quality route of vehicular travel between a specified source and destination. The system can take the wireless network signal map data into account when selecting that route. When selecting from among multiple different routes of vehicular travel between a specified source and destination, the system may employ an algorithm that considers wireless network signal strengths along those routes, in addition to the other factors. Consequently, the system can select a longer route having better signal strength over a shorter route having worse signal strength. The system can present the selected route within a set of suggested routes, potentially along with reasons for each route's suggestion. | 03-17-2016 |
