Displaying a map in a mobile communication device. Geographic coordinate information for a location of an address in a contact is determined. A user context for the mobile communications device is also determined. A request for a table of contents of available map data without the map data with the geographic coordinate information of the location as input is sent and the table of contents of available map data is received. A subset of map data comprising less data than is listed in the table of contents for the location corresponding to the geographic coordinate information is selected based on the table of contents of available map data and the user context. The subset of the map data is requested and the map with the subset of the map data is caused to be rendered in the display.

An embodiment disclosed in the present disclosure discloses a mobile terminal for performing communication with a vehicle control apparatus installed in a vehicle, and the mobile terminal may include a wireless communication unit configured to form a network comprising the vehicle control apparatus and the mobile terminal, respectively, as one node thereof, and a controller configured to allow the vehicle control apparatus or the mobile terminal to perform an operation corresponding to an event according to whether or not the vehicle is moving or whether a user is getting on or off the vehicle based on the event generated from at least one node.

A system and method for visual inertial navigation are described. In some embodiments, a device comprises an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor, a camera, a radio-based sensor, and a processor. The IMU sensor generates IMU data of the device. The camera generates a plurality of video frames. The radio-based sensor generates radio-based sensor data based on an absolute reference frame relative to the device. The processor is configured to synchronize the plurality of video frames with the IMU data, compute a first estimated spatial state of the device based on the synchronized plurality of video frames with the IMU data, compute a second estimated spatial state of the device based on the radio-based sensor data, and determine a spatial state of the device based on a combination of the first and second estimated spatial states of the device.

A navigation method, a navigation terminal, and a server is disclosed. The method in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: obtaining, by a navigation terminal, first navigation information; generating, by the navigation terminal, a first navigation route according to the first navigation information; sending, by the navigation terminal, information about the first navigation route to a server; receiving, by the navigation terminal, second navigation information sent by the server, where the second navigation information includes a real-time route parameter of the first navigation route; and when the real-time route parameter of the first navigation route satisfies a preset condition, effectuating, by the navigation terminal, a navigation window to pop up or automatically adjusting content presented in a navigation window.

Disclosed is a mobile self-service method and a system including a movable service terminal configured to acquire, verify and parse user data to obtain flight number information about a user; a background service system configured to interact with the movable service terminal and provide service data in response to a request sent from the movable service terminal. The terminal is further configured to interact with the background service system to verify the flight number information, confirm a corresponding flight, establish real-time indoor positioning information about the movable service terminal, and provide a navigation prompt from the current position to a corresponding boarding gate or a specified position according to the service data and the real-time positioning information. The present invention can provide personalized flight information, positioning and navigation prompts to passengers waiting for flights in airports, provide path planning and estimate the required time.

Systems and methods of using sensor data for coordinate prediction are disclosed herein. In some example embodiments, for a place, a computer system accesses corresponding service data comprising pick-up data and drop-off data for requests, and accesses corresponding sensor data indicating at least one path of mobile devices of the requesters of the requests, with the at least one path comprising at least one of a pick-up path ending at the pick-up location indicated by the pick-up data and a drop-off path beginning at the drop-off location indicated by the drop-off data. In some example embodiments, the computer system generates at least one predicted geographic location using the paths indicated by the sensor data, and stores the at least one predicted geographic location in a database in association with an identification of the place.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for optimizing efficiency of a workforce management system include receiving a service request, the service request including a service location, transmitting the service location to a plurality of map service providers, receiving geospatial coordinates and a corresponding confidence score from each map service provider which corresponds to a precision accuracy and indicates an estimated accuracy of the geospatial coordinates to the service location, calculating a plurality of overall scores for the plurality of map service providers based at least in part on the precision accuracy of each map service provider and a plurality of attributes associated with each map service provider, selecting a map service provider from the plurality of map service providers based at least in part on the plurality of overall scores, and transmitting geospatial data including coordinates provided by the selected map service provider to a technician.
