A method of operation of a navigation system comprising: receiving multiple frames, including a first frame and a second frame, of images; detecting a traffic sign from the images between the first frame and the second frame based on a sign recognition model; extracting a first image from the first frame and a second image from the second frame; matching the traffic sign is the same in the first image and the second image based on a similarity model; generating a sign location of the traffic sign with an inertial measurement unit reading based on the first image and the second image; and generating a global coordinate for the sign location for displaying on a navigation map.

A navigation device includes an image display unit and a display control unit for controlling the display of the image display unit. The display control unit displays, in the image display unit, a map on a fixed scale in the form of a bird's eye view in which the front of the vehicle is overlooked, and displays a moving route by a guide line on the map until the distance to a guide point becomes a first display switching determination distance, when the distance to the guide point becomes the first display switching determination distance or shorter, increases a scale as the guide point is approached, and when the distance to the guide point becomes a second display switching determination distance or shorter, stops the increase of the scale, and displays, in an area where the guide line is displayed, a mark indicating a path at the guide point.

The present specification discloses a method for displaying an AR navigation screen, and an AR navigation system. The method for displaying an AR navigation screen according to the present specification may comprise the steps of: overlapping and displaying images of the surroundings of a vehicle and a plurality of AR images corresponding to the images of the surroundings; generating a window for separately displaying a first area including AR images overlapping at least one of the plurality of AR images; and overlapping and displaying the window and the images of the surroundings. The invention of the present specification has the effect of improving user convenience and promoting safe vehicle operation by using a window when AR images and the like are difficult to recognize due to being overlapped.

A vehicle display control device includes: a map information acquisition unit that acquires map data around a vehicle; and an item display unit that overlaps a virtual item on a predetermined travel road on the map data and that displays the virtual item in a display area in a vehicle cabin. The item display unit overlaps and displays the virtual item on the map data, thereby guiding a driver of the vehicle toward the travel road on which the virtual item is displayed.

A method of obtaining a route from a point of departure to a destination includes providing route guidance through an augmented reality (AR) view including an image captured by a camera. To provide route guidance, as a user terminal moves toward a destination on the basis of an obtained route, when an interaction occurs between the user terminal and a node or a link in which predetermined information included in the route is registered, content associated with the predetermined information is augmented and displayed as guidance information on an image of an AR view.

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.

The present specification discloses a method for displaying an AR navigation screen, and an AR navigation system. The method for displaying an AR navigation screen according to the present specification may comprise the steps of: overlapping and displaying images of the surroundings of a vehicle and a plurality of AR images corresponding to the images of the surroundings; generating a window for separately displaying a first area including AR images overlapping at least one of the plurality of AR images; and overlapping and displaying the window and the images of the surroundings. The invention of the present specification has the effect of improving user convenience and promoting safe vehicle operation by using a window when AR images and the like are difficult to recognize due to being overlapped.

Provided is a superimposed-image display device configured such that when there is a guidance divergence point, which is a guidance target, ahead in a traveling direction of a vehicle, a plurality of guidance objects that provide guidance on an entry route that enters the guidance divergence point and an exit route are displayed. When a course including the entry route, the guidance divergence point, and the exit route is displayed using a plurality of guidance objects, the plurality of guidance objects are displayed so as to match the elevation of the line of sight of an occupant and displayed so as to be shifted to locations that are on the opposite side to an exit direction at the guidance divergence point relative to the front of the vehicle.

A method is provided for a navigation device to display maneuvering instructions along a route, involving: displaying a digital map in a perspective manner on a display unit of the navigation device; according to the distance of the navigation device from the location of the maneuver, i.e. the location where a maneuver is to be carried out as per the route: displaying first maneuvering instructions for the maneuver when the navigation device is farther from the location of the maneuver than a predefined distance; displaying second maneuvering instructions instead of the first maneuvering instructions for the maneuver when the navigation device is closer to the location of the maneuver than the predefined distance; the first and second maneuvering instructions being displayed in such a way as to cover up a portion of the displayed digital map; displaying a graphic link between the location of the maneuver on the digital map and the first or second maneuvering instructions.

The vehicle navigation device guides a user of a vehicle to a destination. The vehicle navigation device includes a car navigation system that acquires the destination, a head-up display that displays various information, and a body ECU that controls the information displayed on the head-up display based on the destination acquired by the car navigation system. The body ECU is configured to cause, on the assumption that the user alights from the vehicle at a current location, the head-up display to display post-alighting guidance information which is information for guiding the user to the destination regarding, for example, walking.
