A route may be recommended, and it may be determined if a vehicle detours from the recommended route. At least one recommend route may be obtained. A current route of a vehicle may be obtained. A variance value may be determined based on the current route and the at least one recommend route. The variance value may be compared to a threshold. It may be determined whether the variance value exceeds the threshold. If the variance value exceeds the threshold, it may be determined that the vehicle has detoured. If the variance value does not exceed the threshold, it may be determined that the vehicle has not detoured.

A dynamic navigation coach system is programmed to monitor and assist drivers while keeping them engaged en route to the destination. The system may provide driver navigation assistance and training that monitors user navigational skills, driving habits, and environmental factors, and provides dynamically adjustable tools to provide varying levels of navigation assistance in a game play format. The system may selectively provide navigational directions or corrections to the driver when the driver deviates from a scheduled travel route, instead of providing instructions at every driving event.

A traveling history learning section circuitry stores learning information based on the traveling history of the vehicle in association with the position of a to-be-learned zone and with the traveling direction of the vehicle in the to-be-learned zone. A learning information obtaining section circuitry obtains learning information corresponding to the position of a host vehicle from the learning information storage section. A display control section circuitry displays a learning status display showing a learning status corresponding to a traveling direction of a host vehicle.

The invention relates to a method, to a computer program with instructions, and to a device for processing data recorded by a motor vehicle. The invention additionally relates to a motor vehicle and to a back end in which a method according to the invention or a device according to the invention is used. In a first step, data recorded along a route traversed by the motor vehicle are received. The recorded data are then divided into segments of the traversed route, each of the segments being separated by a gap. Additionally, a spatial obfuscation is applied to the data of the segments of the traversed route. The obfuscated data are finally forwarded for further processing. The segmentation and the spatial obfuscation may be carried out within the motor vehicle or in a back end connected to the motor vehicle.

A vehicular drive assist system performs drive assist for a vehicle traveling in each predetermined area while receiving a feedback on evaluation relating to ease of travel on a road in each of the areas. In the system, a management center performs evaluation of ease of travel on a road for each of the areas on the basis of information obtained from the vehicle and feeds back the evaluation result to the vehicle. In this case, a variation width of the evaluation relating to ease of travel is restricted on a basis of static factors of road environment for each of the areas.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and an apparatus for providing a visually impaired a route guidance in a subway station by selectively providing the visually impaired at least one of guidance information received from a visible light illumination device installed in the subway station or information on a recommended route from the subway station to a destination and pre-stored route history information, thus informing the visually impaired as needed in a more efficient manner and enabling the visually impaired to arrive at the destination with safety.

A device for providing spatial information to a user. The device includes a camera configured to detect image data. The device also includes an accelerometer configured to determine step data. The device also includes a processor connected to the camera and the accelerometer and configured to determine a distance travelled per step of the user based on the image data and the step data. The processor is also configured to determine a distance to a reference point based on the image data. The processor is also configured to determine a number of steps corresponding to the distance to the reference point based on the distance travelled per step of the user. The device also includes an output unit connected to the processor and configured to output the spatial information indicating the number of steps corresponding to the distance to the reference point.

A system is provided for hands-free handling of at least one asset by a user. The system includes a user device configured to be worn by a user and a control system remotely located relative to the user device and configured to exchange asset-related data with the user device, the asset-related data including at least one or more notifications related to the handling of the at least one asset by the user at the asset location. The user device contains a processor configured to determine location data associated with the at least one asset and including a location for the at least one asset, the determination being based, in part, upon the obtained asset identifier data; dynamically generate and display, at the user device, one or more navigational projections configured to guide the user to the asset location; and detect handling of the at least one asset by the user.

A method performed by an information suppressing system for avoiding distracting an occupant of a vehicle with superfluous information via a medium associated with the vehicle is provided. The medium is adapted to present at least a first piece of information associated with at least a first entity located in a current vicinity of the vehicle. The system determines status data comprising one or more status data parameters reflecting current conditions, and further determines the at least first piece of information to be currently superfluous, based on comparing at least a first status data parameter of the status data with predetermined suppression criteria. Moreover, the system suppresses the at least first piece of information, wherein at least a portion of the at least first piece of information is prevented from being presented via the medium. An information suppressing system in accordance with the foregoing is also provided.

An interactive dynamic cloud navigation system includes: a server, including a database, wherein the database stores a map, a management account and a plurality of accounts; a plurality of navigation terminal and a plurality of users corresponding to the navigation terminals; and a map operator which logs in the management account on the server to manage the database. The navigation terminal includes a data collection module, a data storage module, a data transmission module, and an input and output module, wherein: the data collection module is for collecting data; the data transmission module is for transmitting the data between the navigation terminal and the server; the data storage module is for storing the data; and the input and output module is for receiving an input of the user and outputting the data stored in the navigation terminal to the user. The server records in real-time a geographic position of each user corresponding to the navigation terminal and a time, and stores the geographic position and the time into the database.
