Concepts for generating navigation instructions for a driver of a vehicle are presented. One example, includes obtaining a current location of the vehicle, a route for the vehicle from the current location to a target destination, and a captured image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, the image having a field of view comprising at least part of a field of view of the driver. An object is identified in the captured image. Navigation instructions for the driver are generated based on the current location of the vehicle, the route for the vehicle and the object identified in the captured image.

A method and system for providing navigation commands allows users to navigate to a destination by way of haptic feedback. The method and system employ: (1) a processor executed software application, and (2) one or more vibrating nodes worn by a user. Upon providing a destination via an application, the application sends commands to the nodes to vibrate along a specific signature to indicate, through the sense of touch, navigation commands to the user.

A route navigation apparatus comprises: an output device configured to output music information, in an audible form, to a user; a memory; and at least one processor or circuit which functions as: a selection unit configured to select predetermined music information in accordance with an operation that has been made by the user with respect to the output music information; and a provision unit configured to provide a route corresponding to the selected predetermined music information to the user.

A device can receive input indicating an intersection of two or more roads. The device can identify the two or more roads included in the input using an indicator. The device can determine a geographic location of another device using information that identifies the geographic location received from the other device. The device can identify a data structure that includes information identifying a set of intersections associated with the geographic location. The device can perform a search of the two or more roads using the information identifying the two or more roads and the information included in the data structure. The device can determine a priority for one or more results of the search for the intersection after performing the search of the two or more roads. The device can provide the one or more results of the search for the intersection to permit and/or cause an action to be performed.

An information provision apparatus comprises: a processor; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to function as: an obtaining unit configured to identify a plurality of people and obtain registration information for each of the plurality of people; an information provision unit configured to, in order to cause information to be perceivably outputted from an output unit to the plurality of people, provide predetermined information to the output unit; and a selection unit configured to select the predetermined information, wherein the selection unit, in a case where there is a person for whom the registration information cannot be obtained, selects the predetermined information based on input information obtained via an input unit for the person for whom the registration information cannot be obtained.

An information processing device obtains information concerning a plurality of items of food and drink served to a passenger of a mobile body while the mobile body is moving from a start point to an end point of movement, generates information indicating timing of serving of each of the items of food and drink to the passenger, based on information indicating a period of time provided for allowing the passenger to see a viewing object from the mobile body while the mobile body is moving from the start point to the end point, and outputs the information indicating the timing.

Systems and methods herein describe receiving a target location from a computing device, using a machine learning model: determining a first access point and a second access point associated with the target location, causing presentation of the first access point as a first selectable user interface element and the second access point as a second selectable user interface within a graphical user interface on the computing device, receiving a first selection of the first selectable user interface element from the computing device; and in response to receiving the first selection, and initiating a trip request based on the refined map coordinates of the first access point.

A vehicle may include a communication device; an output device; and a control device electrically connected to the communication device and the output device. The control device may be configured to receive a control signal for controlling at least one operation of the output device from a server through the communication device according to at least one of a position of the vehicle, communication with an external device of the vehicle, and a current time, and to control the at least one operation of the output device according to the control signal.

Systems and methods for coordinating point of interest pickups in a transportation service are provided. In example embodiments, the system detects a location of a device of a user. Responsive to detecting the location of the device of the user, the system automatically determines one or more potential pickup points based on the detected location. A pickup point user interface (UI) that displays one or more potential pickup points based on the detected location is presented on the device of the user without displaying a map. The system receives confirmation of a pickup point from the one or more potential pickup points and receives an indication of a destination. The system then establishes the transportation service based on the confirmed pickup point and the destination. The system can provide user interfaces that display progress of a driver to the pickup point and progress to the destination without displaying a map.
