The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for interacting with mapping applications. In one example, a virtual assistant server can efficiently communicate with a map server to provide a user with map data in response to spoken user requests received at a user device. In another example, communicatively coupled electronic devices can be synchronized such that a location marker generated on one device can be displayed on the other device. In another example, an electronic device can display simplified views of individual route directions that can be updated based on movement of the user or in response to user requests. In another example, an electronic device can selectively display an interface including a current location of a user or an interface including a route to a predicted destination based on contextual information associated with the user. The interfaces can include affordances for launching an associated mapping application.

In one embodiment, a method for road geometry matching with componentized junction models is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of predefined road component models, receiving map data representing a physical road junction, selecting a subset of the plurality of road component models to characterize the physical road junction represented by the received map data, and defining a road junction configuration for the physical road junction with the selected road component models.

A method for calculating an AR overlay of additional information for a display on an AR display unit. The AR overlay is used for the representation of a navigation route on the AR display unit. The navigation route is specified by a navigation system. The AR overlay is calculated so that a symbol for a target object or a target person is overlaid on the next turn or on the horizon, the symbol being configured so that, besides the information about which target object or which target person is involved, a direction indicator is seen by the driver, in which direction the target object or the target person is to be found.

An in-vehicle device displaying travel lanes of a vehicle in a predetermined number of display boxes includes an identifying part that identifies travel lanes to be displayed in the display boxes, and identifies travel lanes so a recommended lane which is a travel lane recommended for the vehicle to travel is displayed in one of the display boxes and a maximum number of recommended travel lanes which are travel lanes coinciding with a traveling direction of the recommended lane each are displayed in one of the display boxes; and a display part that displays the identified travel lanes in the display boxes. The identifying part identifies travel lanes while relatively shifting in turn a plurality of travel lanes and the display boxes from a travel lane at one end of the plurality of travel lanes that are on a traveling direction side of the vehicle and being adjacent to each other.

The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for indoor positioning. The method includes obtaining a first location of a subject at a first time point. The method also includes determining one or more motion parameters associated with the subject at least based on one or more sensors carried by the subject. The method further includes determining, based on the first location of the subject and the one or more motion parameters associated with the subject, a second location of the subject at a second time point after the first time point. The method still further includes adjusting, at least based on surroundings information associated with the subject at the second time point, the second location of the subject to determine a target location of the subject.

An emergency response system (ERS) configured to acquire equipment location data, target terminal location data, and emergency responder terminal location data; determine a horizontal distance measure between the emergency responder terminal and a select unit of equipment, determine a vertical distance measure between the emergency responder terminal and a select unit of equipment, engage a camera component of the emergency responder terminal to capture images of at least a portion of the surrounding real-world scene, providing such images for display on the touchscreen display of the emergency responder terminal, and/or providing an equipment display object for display on the touchscreen of the emergency responder terminal such that, when an image provided for display spans a region of the real-world scene within which the equipment is located, the equipment display object dynamically overlays a segment of the image associated with the acquired equipment location data.

Systems including one or more sensors, coupled to a vehicle, may detect sensor information and provide the sensor information to another computing device for processing. A system includes one or more sensors, coupled to a vehicle and configured to detect sensor information, and a computing device configured to communicate with one or more mobile sensors to receive the mobile sensor information, communicate with the one or more sensors to receive the sensor information, and analyze the sensor information and the mobile sensor information to identify one or more risk factors.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing uninterrupted media content during vehicle navigation. The disclosed techniques herein discuss determining directions from route data and navigation announcements for each of the directions. For each navigation announcement, a determination is made whether current playback of a media asset in a playlist ends within a predefined time threshold before the navigation announcement. In a positive determination, the playback of the playlist is paused until the navigation announcement has elapsed.

A guide object for proposing a guide target point is displayed when there is a guide target point that is to be proposed, ahead of a vehicle in a traveling direction. In contrast, when displaying the guide object, the guide object is displayed in a form in which an occupant visually recognizes the guide object with a relative position of the guide object with respect to the vehicle fixed, when a distance from the vehicle to the guide target point is equal to or more than a threshold. Further, the guide object is displayed in a form in which the occupant visually recognizes the guide object as being superimposed with a relative position of the guide object with respect to the guide target point fixed, when the distance from the vehicle to the guide target point is less than the threshold.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing uninterrupted media content by reordering playlists during vehicle navigation. The disclosed techniques herein determine directions from route data and navigation announcements for each of the directions. For each direction, a corresponding media asset from media assets in a playlist having a media asset duration that matches a direction duration is determined. The direction duration is the time difference between the navigation announcement and a subsequent navigation announcement.
