Navigation device and method for displaying navigation information

Abstract: A method of displaying navigation information and a navigation device programmed with a map database and software - operable to assign a name to a country or a city or a road and display said name on a road navigation map, - operable to assign a language to a displayed text using a user interface, and - operable to simultaneously display said name on said road navigation map as a first text in at least one of a local language and a local character system and as a second text in at least one of said assigned language and a assigned character system corresponding to said assigned language.

The next generation of GPS navigation systems

Abstract: A live-view GPS navigation system ensures that a user's cognitive map is consistent with the navigation map.

Using context to navigate through a photo collection

Abstract: In this article we present an application to navigate through a photo collection, using context. This application proposes two navigation schemes: physical and virtual navigation. Physical navigation permits the user to seamlessly access to photos that were taken near him. Virtual navigation permits the user to virtually explore the surroundings by jumping from one photo to another.This application relies on a definition of context which is based on a notion of proximity. Proximity can be determined according to one or several dimensions. For example, with this definition the user's context can be represented by the photos that were taken near him during a precise period like the Second World War. Such a context permits the user to physically navigate the photo collection nowadays and to get photos of the surroundings that were taken during another time period. Our application offers other services, such as temporal navigation to get different views of a place, route planing or virtually entering into closed buildings.

System and method for building and executing a navigation instruction via corresponding sentence construction

Abstract: System and method for building and executing a network navigation instruction via corresponding sentence construction that includes and involves a server data processing system (1002) having at least one database (1003) storing navigation options and corresponding navigation destination instructions. The system and method further include and involve a client data processing system (1004) coupled to the server data processing system via an electronic data network. The client data processing system (1004) is configured with at least one stored program. The stored program permits the client data processing system to access the server data processing system (1002) to load the navigation options and the corresponding navigation destination instruction into a local data storage facility, and to facilitate construction of a navigation sentence via selection of pre-configured sentence parts. The pre-configured sentence parts include a destination corresponding to at least one of the navigation options and the corresponding navigation destination instructions. The client data processing system (1004) retrieves network content based on the navigation sentence.

Method and system for determining place for appointment using navigation system

Abstract: A navigation terminal for calculating a route or a route information server sets multiple proposed locations for an appointment according to various conditions or options provided by a user for the determination of an appropriate location for the appointment between multiple parties. The navigation terminal or the route information server calculates an optimal route to each proposed location from each party's origin and extracts an optimum level of each calculated route to finally determine the most appropriate location for the appointment. The navigation terminal or the route information server automatically sets a location most appropriate and convenient to all parties of appointment, thereby enhancing convenience and effective time management.
