A system is provided for providing location-specific images to a mobile device for display. The system generally comprises three components: a mobile device having a screen, a position identification system (e.g., a GPS receiver) that determines the position of the mobile device, and a database containing location-specific images taken at various locations. Each location-specific image is associated with geographic coordinates of the location at which the image was taken. Based on the position of the mobile device as determined by the position identification system, a location-specific image is selected from the database and displayed on the screen of the mobile device. For example, when a user is using the mobile device as a car navigation system, a location-specific image of the user's destination location can be selected and displayed when the determined position of the mobile device comes within a certain distance from the geographic coordinates of the destination location.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal that provides an augmented reality navigation screen in a state of being hold in a vehicle, the mobile terminal including: at least one camera configured to obtain a front image; a display; and at least one processor configured to calibrate the front image, and to drive an augmented reality navigation application so that the augmented reality navigation screen including at least one augmented reality (AR) graphic object and the calibrated front image is displayed on the display.

A path providing device for providing a route to a vehicle includes a first communication module configured to receive a high-definition (HD) map information from an external server, a second communication module configured to receive external information generated by an external device located within a predetermined range from the vehicle, and a processor configured to generate forward path information for guiding the vehicle based on the HD map and provide the forward path information to at least one of electric components provided in the vehicle. The processor is configured to generate dynamic information related to an object to be sensed by the at least one of the electric components based on the external information and to match the dynamic information to the forward path information.

The present disclosure relates to a method for guiding a path of an electronic device and an electronic device. The method for guiding a path according to the present disclosure includes: acquiring a top-view image; extracting guiding information in a lane from lane information extracted from the top-view image; and guiding a path of a vehicle using the extracted lane information and the guiding information in the lane. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to promote safe driving by guiding a possible traveling direction on the path to a driver in real time through image analysis of a traveling road. In addition, it is possible to provide more detailed path guidance by providing the path guidance reflecting the necessity of lane change by recognizing the lane of the driving path.

Systems for heads-up display of transit industry vehicle information is provided. Information originating from various transit agency systems and arriving at transit industry vehicles may be selectively displayed on a heads-up display. Control and configuration of the information displayed on a heads-up display may be determined by a transit agency and may relate to data displayed on on-board mobile data terminals.

An apparatus comprising a processor and memory including computer program code, the memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, enable the apparatus at least to: receive an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route; based on consideration of contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to the current vehicle location against one or more predefined manoeuvering criteria, dynamically identify a U-turn location on the planned route of travel at which it is possible for the vehicle to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel; and provide an indication of the dynamically identified U-turn location for use in route navigation onto the different route of travel.

A vehicle system includes a communication interface and a processing device. The processing device determines a proximity of a host vehicle to a target location. When the proximity to the target location is less than a predetermined value, the processing device commands the communication interface to transmit the target location to a parking server. In response, the processing device receives a message identifying at least one parking zone from the parking server.

A method and apparatus for evaluating the driving of a vehicle performing a journey on a road network is disclosed. The method comprises determining a fuel usage rate and an engine speed of a vehicle, and determining when the vehicle is coasting based upon at least one of the fuel usage rate and the engine speed of the vehicle. An acceleration of the vehicle, when the vehicle is determined to be coasting, is compared with a predetermined reference acceleration, and an application of braking during the coasting is determined based on the result of the comparison. A method and apparatus is also disclosed for determining a score indicative of the relative amount of time for which the vehicle is coasting without braking during a journey.

A system and method of generating plan information for vehicles in a vehicle traffic or vehicle parking zone, including projecting into space, from a set of grid generators at the vehicle traffic or vehicle parking zone, a set of lines defining a relative navigation grid and encoded with grid data configured to identify predetermined points on the relative navigation grid, and detecting, with a detector module on a vehicle, a location of the vehicle within the grid.

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.
