This document describes methods by which a system determines a pickup/drop-off zone (PDZ) to which a vehicle will navigate to perform a ride service request. The system will access map data that includes the destination interval and define a geometric interval at the requested destination of the ride service request by: (i) using the vehicle's length and the road's speed limit at the destination to calculate a minimum allowable length for the interval; and (ii) setting start point and end point boundaries for the interval having an intervening distance that is equal to or greater than the minimum allowable length. The system will then generate a path to guide the vehicle to the interval.

Location technologies are combined with other information systems to provide augmented information for individuals such as a traveler in an automobile.

According to the present disclosure, an information processing apparatus communicates with a sensor device that transmits a video of a passenger and environmental information at least when a vehicle is moving. The information processing apparatus includes a memory, and a hardware processor coupled to the memory. The hardware processor being configured to: receive the video and the environmental information from the sensor device; output the received video; analyze information regarding a behavior sign of the passenger based on at least one of the received video and a change in the environmental information accompanying movement of the vehicle; and perform output control of changing an output way and outputting message information, based on an analysis result of the behavior sign.

Provided are a navigation broadcast detection method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a medium. The navigation broadcast detection method includes acquiring navigation broadcast information associated with a simulated navigation route; and detecting the navigation broadcast information according to broadcast attribute information corresponding to the navigation broadcast information, where the broadcast attribute information includes broadcast time information and/or broadcast location information.

In some embodiments, an electronic device displays indications of safety characteristics of one or more navigational segments of a navigation route. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays navigation options. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents indications of navigation directions while navigation along a route.

Technologies for producing efficient investigation routes for identifying gas leak locations include a mobile compute device. The mobile compute device includes circuitry configured to obtain route data indicative of a route to be traveled along to identify a location of a gas leak. The circuitry is also configured to present the route data to a user to guide the user along the route.

A method for guiding a blind, an electronic device, a storage medium and a blind guide product, and related to the technical field of navigation are provided. The method includes: acquiring Beidou satellite data and base station differential data, and determining location information of a user by using a carrier phase differential technology; in response to a blind guide request, generating a blind guide route according to current location information and destination information input by the user; and broadcasting a voice prompt based on the blind guide route. The location accuracy of a user is improved, and blind guide requirements for a complex road section can be met, thereby improving the travel safety for the user.

In a server apparatus, a first acquisition unit is configured to acquire a specific point at which the traveling route of a vehicle deviates from a guidance route. A specifying unit is configured to specify a vehicle that has passed through the acquired specific point based on traveling route information of a plurality of vehicles. A second acquisition unit is configured to acquire, from the specified vehicle, an image of the specific point captured by the vehicle. A generation unit is configured to generate information for traveling guidance relating to the specific point based on the acquired image.

Provided is a system for controlling transparency of a vehicle window according to recognition of a gaze of a driver, the system including: an electrochromic film provided on a vehicle window and configured to control transparency according to a transparency control signal; a gaze detector configured to detect a gaze of a driver; a gaze determiner configured to determine whether the gaze of the driver is directed at the vehicle window on which the electrochromic film is located; and a controller configured to transmit the transparency control signal according to the determined gaze of the driver.

A method and an apparatus are disclosed for providing navigation instructions. The method may include receiving, from a user apparatus, a first location and a destination location; calculating a first route from the first location to the destination location; generating, for a predetermined time period, a first set of maneuvering data corresponding to the first route, wherein the first set of maneuvering data comprises playback cues based on a predicted user apparatus location; transmitting the first set of maneuvering data to the user apparatus; receiving, from the user apparatus, a second location; generating, for a subsequent predetermined time period, a second set of maneuvering data, wherein the second set of maneuvering data comprises playback cues based on a further predicted user apparatus location; calculating an update set of maneuvering data based on the first and second set of maneuvering data; and transmitting the update set of maneuvering data to the user apparatus for providing navigation instructions.
