A method for assigning a map attribute in an digital map for a vehicle. The method includes: ascertaining a validity range of the map attribute stored in absolute coordinates in relation to a reference line of the digital map; at least one base point of a defined geometry being ascertained originating from the map attribute using a defined segment of the reference line of the vehicle; and the map attribute being assigned to the defined segment intersected at the base point.

A mobile apparatus performing an augmented reality function and a navigation function includes an input device, a location receiver for obtaining a current location, an image obtaining device, a display device provided to display surrounding image obtained from the image obtaining device in response to execution of an augmented reality mode, and a controller provided to search for a route from the current location to a destination, destination information and map information obtained by the location receiver, identify a moving situation according to route information corresponding to the searched route, obtain location information of an inflection point at which the moving situation is changed according to information on the identified moving situation, and control the display device to display an object image of the inflection point on the surrounding image displayed on the display device based on the location information of the inflection point and the current location information.

The ultrasonic navigation system uses a root node and extended nodes to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. The root node is attached to the object to be tracked, i.e., the collar of a pet, a robotic cleaning device, etc. The ultrasonic wave originates from the root node and may include a transmitter; it monitors when it initially sends each signal. The system sends several signal pulses simultaneously so that it can measure distances more effectively. The signals travel from the root node to each extended node (at least three) where they are received, respectively, and each extended node sends a timestamp of when it received the pulse, respectively. These extended nodes are placed around a boundary of a confined area. When the root node emits a signal, it bounces back from all of the extended nodes on the perimeter allowing for continuous and accurate measurement of any space.

A system is disclosed for managing waste services by a service vehicle. The system may have a locating device configured to generate a location signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle, a sensor configured to generate a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed by the service vehicle, an input device, and a processing unit in communication with the locating device, the sensor, and the input device. The processing unit may be configured to make a determination that the service vehicle has made a plurality of service stops based on the location and service signals, and to automatically generate at least one service route including the plurality of service stops. The processing unit may also be configured to display the at least one service route and the plurality of service stops on a map in at least one graphical user interface on the input device.

Systems and methods for presenting a map and changing a facing direction of an object. In an aspect, an elongated map segment is presented according to a pointing direction of a device. In other aspects, a facing direction of an object is changed according to a pointing direction of a device or a facing direction of a user.

System and methods described herein relate to a driving speed matrix and a traffic control point matrix based on breadcrumb data. Standardized routes and times can be determined based on the breadcrumb data, and the standardized routes and times can be mapped onto a plurality of routes. Based on standardized times for routes, routes can be adjusted or optimized.

An information processing device includes: a first storage unit configured to store a local map data set created or updated at a first time; a map information acquisition unit configured to acquire at least a part of a distribution map data set from a map data distribution system via a wireless communication network; a second storage unit configured to associate and store (i) data that is acquired by the map information acquisition unit, from among data constituting a first distribution map data set created or updated at a second time, and (ii) information indicating a first acquisition time when the data is acquired, or information indicating the second time; and a second determination unit configured to determine whether the map data distribution system has stored a second distribution map data set created or updated at a third time.

Methods and systems for identifying whether a vehicle is capable of safely traversing a road segment. The system includes a transceiver of the vehicle configured to receive vehicle capability data indicating vehicle specifications associated with the road segment, the vehicle specifications associated with a vehicle capable of traversing the road segment. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle configured to compare vehicle data including features of the vehicle with the vehicle capability data to determine whether the vehicle data meets or exceeds the vehicle specifications. The system includes an input/output device configured to provide a notification that the vehicle is not capable of traversing the road segment when the vehicle data does not meet or exceed the vehicle specifications associated with the road segment.

In some embodiments, an electronic device displays user interfaces for viewing information about and/or for reporting information about incidents of different types associated with a (e.g., physical) location.

A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed that execute machine vision operations to categorize a locality. At least one embodiment accesses a map image of a locality, where the map image includes geographical artefacts corresponding to entities within the locality; analyzes the map image to detect the entities in the locality using the geographical artefacts; assigns entity classes to detected entities in the locality; assigns a locality score to the locality based on entity classes included in the locality; retrieves street view images for one or more of the detected entities in the locality; and analyzes street view images of the detected entities to assign one or more further classifications to the detected entities. Other embodiments include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the method.
