Embodiments disclose a computer-implemented method for guiding a user along a route, the method including receiving route information from a route server, where the route information includes geographical positions of roads and designated lanes of travel for each of a plurality of segments along the route, and receiving a series of images captured by the camera along the route. The method includes analyzing the series of images to determine a horizon and one or more available lanes of travel along the route, identifying one or more designated lanes from the one or more available lanes based on the analyzing of the series of images, and displaying the series of images along with a navigational layer superimposed over the series of images to the user, the navigational layer comprising a blocked region covering areas of the series of images outside of the one or more designated lanes and below the horizon.

The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a display method and system for an indicator arrow in a navigation map. The method comprises: acquiring at least one indicator arrow information in a navigation route, the at least one indicator arrow information including at least one set of points representing the indicator arrow; determining a highest point of the indicator arrow on a screen based on the at least one indicator arrow information; determining a display position of the indicator arrow on the screen after placing the highest point at a preset position of the screen; and displaying the indicator arrow on the screen.

A method of identifying information during navigation is provided. Fork data is extracted from navigation data, the fork data corresponding to a road having a fork. A first node and at least two exit roads are extracted from the fork data, the at least two exit roads being roads in different directions. The fork data are identified as corresponding to a target fork in response to all of the at least two exit roads converging at the first node. A second node adjacent to the first node is queried in response to at least two exit roads not completely converging at the first node. The fork data are identified as corresponding to the target fork based on a distance between the first node and the second node meeting a preset condition.

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.

The disclosure provides an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an information processing method capable of allowing a user to approach a destination intuitively. An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a position-coordinate acquisition part, a direction acquisition part, a direction calculation part, and a haptic-feedback determining part. The position-coordinate acquisition part acquires a position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The direction acquisition part acquires an apparatus direction that the information processing apparatus faces. The direction calculation part calculates a target direction being a direction of a target with respect to the information processing apparatus from a position coordinate of the target and the position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The haptic-feedback determining part determines a haptic feedback to be presented to a user on the basis of an angle formed by the apparatus direction and the target direction.

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.

One example provides a computing device configured to capture, via the camera, first image data imaging a first physical world location, create a first spatial representation of the first physical world location based on the first image data, receive a user input defining a pose of a first virtual spatial anchor point relative to a feature imaged in the first image data, track user movement to a second physical world location, capture second image data imaging the second physical world location, receive a user input defining a pose of a second virtual spatial anchor point relative to a feature imaged in the second image data, and send, to a remote computing device, data representing the first spatial representation, the pose of first spatial anchor point, the second spatial representation, the pose of second spatial anchor point, and a positional relationship between first and second spatial anchor points.

Aspects described herein may allow for auto-locating a user in a parking lot and/or automatically directing a user to recommended inventory. For example, a customer may capture an image of a vehicle, or a marker associated with a vehicle, in a parking lot. The image may be processed locally or at a server. A vehicle may be identified based on analysis of the image. Further, information regarding the user may be processed to determine another vehicle appropriate for a recommendation. For example, a prompt on a mobile device may suggest a popular model similar to the vehicle being viewed. The system may then provide directions (e.g., augmented reality directions) to the user to direct the user to the vehicle.

A system, method, and device for operations of an electrically motorized vehicle. The vehicle can utilize an electrically motorized wheel to convert a non-motorized wheeled vehicle to an electrically motorized wheeled vehicle. One system includes a server in communication with the device of each of a plurality of electrically motorized wheels, the server operable to track a position of each of the electrically motorized wheels and communicate the position thereof to a transportation network.

A method for depicting location attributes in a map environment. The method includes receiving a request for parameters about a first type of location. The method includes determining a first set of directional arrows, where each directional arrow is associated with a location and has a first set of properties based on the parameters about the first type of location. The method further includes determining a selection of a first directional arrow, which is associated with a first location, from the first set of directional arrows. Modifications to the first set of directional arrows are made based on the selection of the first directional arrow.
