Navigation system implementing dynamic route correction

Abstract: A computer-implemented navigation method for implementation during a navigation routine for directing a user is provided. The navigation method comprises generating a navigation route. GPS signals are received and position fixes are derived from the GPS signals. The position fixes are stored and compared with the navigation route. A threshold value is determined based on the comparison of the position fixes with the navigation route. An updated navigation route is generated based on the plurality of position fixes distanced from the navigation route a distance greater than the threshold value and an updated navigation route is not generating based on the plurality of position fixes distanced from the navigation route a distance not greater than the threshold value. A mobile device for performing a navigation procedure is also provided.

Global navigation system with RFID tags

Abstract: A new navigation system is described for a mobile robot moving around in man-made environments such as hallways in a building. The system is based on a commercial three-wheel mobile platform with the addition of a Linux-based laptop computer, a Radio Frequency Identification (RDID) tag sensor and a vision system. At critical junctions such as the intersection of two passages the navigation system must identify the robot's location on a given map. We propose a method using RFID tags as landmarks. Each RFID tag has a unique ID number corresponding to its location on the map. The navigation system can decide the next movement (left-turn, right-turn and so on) toward a given goal based on this number. The navigation system also can automatically follow walls using the vision system. Since the equipment setup is very simple and the navigation system is easily combined with general mobile robot systems, our proposed technique would be useful for real-world robotic applications such as intelligent navigation for motorized wheelchairs.

Method and device for transmitting navigation information from data processing center to an on-board navigation system

Abstract: A method and a device for transmitting navigation information from a data processing center to an on-board navigation system. The device includes a request profile generating device for generating an individual request profile according to the navigation information required by the on-board navigation system, a communication device for transmitting the individual request profile from the navigation system to the data processing center via a wireless interface, a preparation device provided in the data processing center for analyzing the transmitted individual request profile and preparing the navigation information required in the on-board navigation system and transmitting back the required navigation information from the data processing center to the on-board navigation system via the wireless interface, and a navigation information integrating device for integrating the back-transmitted, required navigation information into the on-board navigation system.

Prioritized delivery of navigation information

Abstract: A method for sending navigation information is disclosed. The method can gather various items of navigation information and send those items of navigation information in a certain order. In some cases, the order is established by information that has been received. In other cases, the order has been predetermined. This can assist in making navigation information more readily available and in some cases, users, can use parcels of navigation information while other parcels are being still delivered.
