Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, computer device, and storage medium for determining a POI alias. The method may include: acquiring a to-be-processed target POI, and generating a candidate alias list corresponding to the target POI based on a query behavior-associated log matching the target POI; and screening out at least one target alias corresponding to the target POI in the candidate alias list, according to an association relationship between each candidate alias in the candidate alias list and the target POI.

The present technology improves points-of-interest (POIs) in applications by the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve metadata of POIs in applications (e.g., map applications) or any other metadata or information that may be of interest to a user regarding any given POI. The present technology resolves transactions to POIs or Brands (in a map application, for example) and improves, updates, creates, and removes POIs/Brands. The present technology can also gain a clear name, granular and correct categorization, a URL, phone/chat contact info, etc. of the transactions.

A highway detection system may include a telematics device associated with a vehicle having one or more sensors arranged therein, a mobile device associated with a user traveling in the vehicle, and a server computer. The server computer may receive traveling data for a trip of the user from the one or more sensors and via the telematics device. The server computer may then determine whether the user is traveling within a city or on a highway based on analysis of the traveling data for the trip of the user, which may include a statistical analysis to calculate standard deviations of metrics in the traveling data. In response to the determination, the server computer may generate a notification to transmit to the user based on whether the user is traveling within a city or on a highway and transmit the notification to the mobile device associated with the user.

The present invention provides an automatic system for visual guidance and navigation using real-time visual anchor point detection, which includes an edge device, a cloud device, and a landmark database; the system of the present invention provides users with navigation directions via visual landmarks. A candidate visual landmark image is selected from the database; the system of the present invention can calculate the time of day, the current weather condition, the current season, etc. In addition, the system of the present invention can use the camera on the dashboard of the vehicle, the camera in the smartphone, or other cameras to collect real-time images; the system of the present invention can also provide feedback on the visibility or salience of landmarks to improve the visual landmark images obtained by subsequent users.

A handheld communication device can capture and display a real-time video stream. The handheld communication device detects a geographic position and camera direction of the handheld communication device. A route is identified from the geographic position of the handheld communication device to a point of interest. The captured video stream is visually augmented with an indicator indicating a direction to travel to the point of interest. The indicator is overlaid on the captured real-time video stream.

The present disclosure is directed to dynamically analyzing data and conditions associated with the movement of a vehicle. A processor may evaluate vehicle location and speed information when identifying an amount of navigation data to send to a computer at a vehicle. The amount of information sent to the computer may vary based on the vehicle speed, a type of road that the vehicle is able to drive along, or may vary based on other attributes. The information sent to the computer may also relate to an area that the vehicle is anticipated to move through in a given time frame. Mapping data sent to the vehicle computer may be associated with a larger area when a vehicle is moving at a faster speed and may be associated with a smaller area when the vehicle is moving at a slower speed.

Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are described for using a vehicle as a payment device. Various aspects may include receiving a selection of a stored financial card or financial account at a vehicle head unit. The selected financial card or financial account may be transmitted to a point-of-sale (POS) terminal for making a payment by transmitting a tokenized card number to the POS terminal. The tokenized card number may be transmitted over a very short-range communication link to ensure that the transmission is secure. For example, electronic circuitry may be attached to the exterior of the vehicle, where the electronic circuitry may be within a threshold distance (e.g. one inch, three inches, six inches, one foot, three feet, etc.) of the POS terminal. The tokenized card number may be transmitted from the vehicle head unit to the electronic circuitry and then to the POS terminal.

The systems may include dividing a digital map provided by a mapping system into a matrix having a plurality of cells; assigning a cell of the plurality of cells to encompass a geographic region of the digital map; calculating a number of sites of interest in the cell; creating a marker comprising a first count number representing the number of sites of interest in the cell; and sharing the marker with a browser for display on the digital map.

Methods and systems for managing information about fuel stations. A system includes an imaging system and a profile management system. The imaging system is used for generating imaging data for a fuel station onboard a vehicle. The profile management system receives the imaging data. The profile management system identifies selected information for the fuel station based on the imaging data received. The selected information includes an identification of the fuel station, pricing information, and at least one of fuel inventory information, or business hours information for the fuel station. The profile management system updates a profile for the fuel station based on the selected information. The profile management system sends at least a portion of the profile for the fuel station to a target system.

A configuration is achieved in which display data selected on the basis of characteristic information acquired while a vehicle is traveling is displayed on a display unit inside the vehicle. The configuration has a data processing unit that executes display control of data output to the display unit provided inside a mobile device. The data processing unit acquires characteristic information while the mobile device is traveling, and decides, on the basis of the acquired characteristic information, display data to be output to the display unit. The data processing unit selects display data recorded corresponding to the acquired characteristic information from a characteristic-information corresponding display data storage database, generates an AR image obtained by superimposing the selected display data on a real object image that is an image captured by a camera mounted on the mobile device, and outputs the AR image to the display unit.
