A method for automated routing of pictures taken on mobile electronic devices to a digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

A wearable digital video camera (10) is equipped with wireless connection protocol and global navigation and location positioning system technology to provide remote image acquisition control and viewing. The Bluetooth® packet-based open wireless technology standard protocol (400) is preferred for use in providing control signals or streaming data to the digital video camera and for accessing image content stored on or streaming from the digital video camera. The GPS technology (402) is preferred for use in tracking of the location of the digital video camera as it records image information. A rotating mount (300) with a locking member (330) on the camera housing (22) allows adjustment of the pointing angle of the wearable digital video camera when it is attached to a mounting surface.

Methods for presenting an augmented virtual model of a physical building. A headgear on an Agent is used to scan a physical building and capture aspects of the building at respective locations. The aspects are stored a As Built Data. A portion of the As Built Data is associated with a location in the physical building. A user interface includes a representation of an agent position and presents the portion of the As Built Data in a position relative to the agent location.

A vehicle route guidance apparatus and a method thereof includes a positioning module that calculates a position of a vehicle and at least one processor that controls the positioning module. The at least one processor is configured to verify whether the vehicle enters a specified section, in a state where a navigation application is run, calculates accuracy of a position calculated by the positioning module, in a state where the vehicle enters the specified section, performs determination of whether to calculate a final position of the vehicle using detailed map data of the specified section, according to a result of determining the accuracy of the position calculated by the positioning module, calculates a final position of the vehicle by the positioning module, according to the determination, and performs route guidance on the specified section based on the final position.

Systems and methods are described for determining position of a receiver. The positioning system comprises a transmitter network including transmitters that broadcast positioning signals. The positioning system comprises a remote receiver that acquires and tracks the positioning signals and/or satellite signals. The satellite signals are signals of a satellite-based positioning system. A first mode of the remote receiver uses terminal-based positioning in which the remote receiver computes a position using the positioning signals and/or the satellite signals. The positioning system comprises a server coupled to the remote receiver. A second operating mode of the remote receiver comprises network-based positioning in which the server computes a position of the remote receiver from the positioning signals and/or satellite signals, where the remote receiver receives and transfers to the server the positioning signals and/or satellite signals.

When a marker on a road is detected, an automated driving apparatus mounted on a vehicle determines whether to perform automated driving based on comparison between a relative movement log from the marker as a start point according to autonomous navigation and shape point data concerning a lane acquired from the most recent map data.
