Domestic destinator
A domestic destinator having an entry means is provided that is portable and may have a charging means, cable, wireless capabilities and or is an application suitable to run on computing devices and can include a monitor with a screen having a mounting accessory comprised of a base with a connecting means to a surface and a shaft. A domestic destinator capable of receiving destination entry to organize a list of locations in various visiting scenarios to display routing and navigation maps.
Setting destinations in vehicle navigation systems based on image metadata from portable electronic devices and from captured images using zero click navigation
Disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for setting a destination at a vehicle navigation system and methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for setting a destination in a vehicle navigation system. In an illustrative embodiment, a method of setting a destination at a vehicle navigation system includes: connecting, by the vehicle, to a wireless device of a vehicle occupant; receiving, by the vehicle, a location signal from the wireless device indicating a geographical location corresponding to a selected media file on the wireless device; generating, by the vehicle, a destination location responsive to the location signal; determining a destination location responsive to the location signal; and plotting a navigation course to the determined destination location.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GUIDING ROUTE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE
An electric vehicle route guide system includes: a location sensor that measures a current location of an electric vehicle; a roadmap storage having link information and node information for providing a running route; a route calculator that searches for a route having a smallest total value of a compensation link cost that is generated by adding a time link cost in consideration of a running time to an energy-based link cost on each link basis from a departure point to a destination as an optimal energy route; a display that displays information for route guide of the optimal energy route; and a controller that controls operations of the location sensor, the roadmap storage, the route calculator, and the display for the search and route guide through a navigation program.
INFORMATION OUTPUT SYSTEM AND INFORMATION OUTPUT METHOD
An information output system includes an output unit (25) configured to output information, an information recognizing unit (212) configured to recognize first information according to designation operation by a user, and an output control unit (211) configured to cause, on condition that a present OFF period of a moving body (3) is started, the output unit (25) to output, in a form recognizable by the user, an interface for requesting an input of second information that should be associated with the first information recognized after a start of a present ON period of the moving body (3) and information indicating one or both of the location and the time point.
Signature based map caching
Systems, methods, and computing devices for building, operating and using map systems with signature-based map caches are disclosed. Based on the desired map properties included in a formatted map request, a map signature can be generated. The map signature can be used to access a signature based map cache to determine whether a map with identical map properties has been previously generated and stored in cache or otherwise available for retrieval. If the map signature exists in the map cache, the corresponding map can be delivered to a map client. If the map signature does not exist in the map cache, then a map can be generated or rendered based on the map properties in the map request. Once the map is generated, it can be saved to the map cache along with associated map signature for future retrieval.
POINT-TO-POINT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING PATH GENERATION AND DRIVING CONTROL METHOD BASED ON NAVIGATION ROUTE AND HIGH DEFINITION MAP
A point-to-point autonomous driving path generation and driving control method based on a navigation route and a high definition map, which generates a point-to-point autonomous driving path by utilizing both of a route made with a navigation map (SD map) and a lane centerline of a high definition map (HD map). The point-to-point autonomous driving path generation and driving control method based on the navigation route and the high definition map includes a step of acquiring navigation route data; and a step of generating autonomous driving trajectory data on the basis of lane information of the high definition map matched with the navigation route data.
Method for planning a route in a system with a display and an input device
A method for planning a route in a system having a display and an input device, that comprises the steps of using a map database that stores data associated with an area that includes a required route; displaying the map or a portion thereof on the display, in this displaying step selecting the scale and position of the displayed map; adjusting and storing conditions or preferences as parameters associated with the required route; defining the requested route in which using said input device to draw the required route on the map displayed, storing the coordinate data of the required route; then determining a suggested route based on the required route, wherein an iteration algorithm is used to determine from successive points of the required route beginning with its starting point respective costs of vectors starting at said points and ending at points of possible routes that satisfy preset parameters and lie in the vicinity of said points of the required route, and selecting a suggested route from the plurality of said possible routes that has minimum overall cost, and storing and displaying this suggested route.
Providing insurance discounts based upon usage of telematics data-based risk mitigation and prevention functionality
A computer-implemented method of updating an auto insurance policy is provided. The method may include (1) determining that a customer's mobile device has a Telematics Application (“App”) installed on it, the Telematics App configured to (i) receive telematics data associated with another vehicle via a wireless communication broadcast; (ii) determine a travel event from analysis of the telematics data received, and (iii) generate a corrective action based upon the telematics data received or travel event determined that alleviates the risk of vehicle collision. The method may also include (2) monitoring, with the customer's permission, an amount or percentage of usage of the Telematics App on the customer's mobile device while the customer is driving in an insured vehicle; and (3) adjusting an insurance policy premium or discount based upon usage of the Telematics App to facilitate rewarding risk-averse drivers and encourage usage of risk mitigation or prevention technology.
Control Device Mounted On Vehicle And Method For Controlling The Same
A control device is configured to provide route information for a vehicle and includes: a headlamp configured to irradiate light in a forward direction of the vehicle; a sensing unit configured to sense at least one sign located in the forward direction of the vehicle; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to, based on a first portion of the at least one sign corresponding to first route information of the vehicle, control the headlamp to irradiate the light on the first portion of the at least one sign that corresponds to the first route information of the vehicle.
CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A control device for a vehicle includes a plurality of displays having a first display that is configured to provide vehicle information to a driver of the vehicle, where the vehicle information includes speed information of the vehicle, a sensor configured to obtain eye tracking information of the driver, where the eye tracking information includes a gaze of the driver, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, based on the eye tracking information, a second display of the plurality of displays to which the gaze of the driver is directed, select a first content to be displayed on the first display, where the first content is based on a gazed second content of the second display, and provide the first content to the first display to be displayed.
