The image displaying method, capable of intuitively displaying various pieces of information about a point of interest (POI) to a user in the form of an icon, includes: controlling a camera of a user terminal to acquire a surrounding area of the user terminal; controlling a communication module of the user terminal to receive location information of a point of interest (POI) from a server; controlling a display of the user terminal to display a composite image by synthesizing an icon, in which the location information of the POI is displayed, in a partial area of the surrounding image; and changing a size of the icon based on a distance between the user terminal and the POI.

An information processing device includes: an acquirer configured to acquire movement information on movement of a vehicle where a user is not on board, the movement information including position information of a movement destination; a storage configured to store the movement information of the vehicle that is acquired by the acquirer; and a controller configured to: generate route information indicating time-series positions of the vehicle based on the movement information stored in the storage; and transmit the route information to an information terminal of the user.

A control apparatus includes a control unit configured to execute control for presenting, in a vehicle, a first route along which a vehicle moves to a parking space in a parking lot, predict a second route along which a pedestrian moves in the parking lot, and execute control for presenting, in the vehicle, a third route that replaces the first route when the first route intersects the second route.

A method for selecting parking location for an autonomous driving vehicle is provided. The method comprises steps of: obtaining a request of a user; constructing a first map according to a current location of the user, a first parking location, and a high-precision map; obtaining a second parking location selected by the user on the first map; controlling the autonomous driving vehicle to drive to the second parking location, and calculating distance between a current location of the autonomous driving vehicle and the second parking location; when the distance is less than a preset distance, constructing a second map according to the current location of the autonomous driving vehicle, the second parking location, and the high-precision map; controlling the autonomous driving vehicle to drive to the second parking location selected by the user on the second map. Furthermore, an intelligent control device and an autonomous driving vehicle are also provided.

Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for building customized media programs for a specified duration are provided. An example media-playback device for generating customized media programs for a route to a specified duration includes a user preferences engine to determine a user's listening preferences, a duration engine to determine a duration of the route, and a duration-based media program engine for building a playlist of news and entertainment media content based on the duration of the route and the preferences of the user.

A method is disclosed for identifying an appropriate parking space for a motor and a route leading thereto for a motor vehicle having a navigation system, wherein at least one collision-free route is calculated on the basis of at least one piece of information that is related to a search for a parking space and that is requested from at least one external server, which manages at least one parking lot having at least one parking space, before the motor vehicle reaches the parking lot. A motor vehicle with a navigation system and an external server, for execution of the method, are also disclosed.

A method for updating a server route within a parking area. The method includes: registering a parking area route; uploading the registered parking area route to the server; assigning an initial time weight value to the registered parking area route; comparing the registered parking area route with server routes to find a corresponding server route; updating the corresponding server route by applying regression analysis of a distance between the parking area route and the corresponding server route to provide an updated server route; updating a time weight value of the updated server route with the initial time weight value of the registered parking area route; providing the updated server route to a navigation server if the updated time weight value exceeds a threshold time weight value.

The invention relates to a method for providing position data of at least one entrance to a navigation destination. The method comprises the following: receiving respective vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles by means of an external server device, the vehicle data characterizing the current state and/or the environment of the vehicle in question; checking if, for the navigation destination, position data of at least one entrance to the navigation destination are known; if this is not the case: determining the position data by means of evaluation of the vehicle data that were provided by vehicles when said vehicles stopped in the area of the navigation destination, and by means of map data associated with the navigation destination; associating the determined position data with the navigation destination such that the navigation system determines a driving route over the entrance to the navigation destination when the navigation destination is selected.

An approach is provided for recommending a vehicle parking or stopping location at a current destination based on a next destination. The approach, for example, involves determining the next destination that follows the current destination. The approach also involves processing map data representing a road network within a proximity threshold of the current destination to determine the recommended parking or stopping location based on minimizing a travel time, a travel distance, or a combination thereof between the recommended parking or stopping location and the next destination.

Embodiments are directed to a system and methods for processing geolocation event data points and mapping the event data to road segments. An ingestion server ingests location event data. The system then processes the location event data to identify Journeys. Journey points are clustered to identify a geoshape for a parking area.
