Method of searching for guidance route in navigation device

Abstract: A guidance route search method in a navigation device is provided for searching for a guidance route which leads to a destination through a road that meets a user's needs. A first route from a starting point to a destination is searched for or retrieved, and intersections included in the first route are displayed in list form. When a user designates a desired intersection from the intersections included in the first route, and a travel direction of a vehicle beyond the intersection, the navigation device sets low a link cost of a road which leads from the designated intersection in the designated travel direction, and performs another route search for a route (second route) leading from the intersection to the destination. The navigation device connects the resultant second route and a portion of the first route between the starting point and the designated intersection, to provide the final guidance route.

Vehicle navigation apparatus

Abstract: A vehicle navigation system calculates a route from a start point to a destination futher determines alternative routes within a detour region. If the user of the navigation system has left the calculated route the navigation system suggests alternative routes for returning the vehicle to the suggested route within the detour region.

Planning, reasoning, and agents for non-visual navigation of tables and frames

Abstract: In this paper we demonstrate how the DSL for Table navigation [16] can be reinterpreted in the context of an action theory [8]. We also show how this generalization provides the ability to carry out more complex tasks such as (i) allowing the user to describe the objective of his/her navigation as a goal and let automatic mechanisms (i.e., a planner) develop (part of) the navigation process; and (ii) allowing the semantic description to predefine not only complete navigation strategies (as in [16]) but also partial skeletons, making the remaining part of the navigation dependent on run-time factors, e.g., user's goals, specific aspects of the table's content, User's run-time decisions.

Providing Advertisements in Response to Idle Time During Navigation on an Electronic Device

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve providing advertisements during navigation on an electronic device. For example, when the device is left idle for a period of time because the user of the device has not given a navigation command, the mobile device may present an advertisement. The advertisement may be displayed, for example, until the user returns and gives an additional navigation or other command, ending the idle period.

Vehicle navigation system

Abstract: A vehicle navigation system has a navigation component including a memory for geographic data and a processor for generating navigation information from the geographic data, and a mobile phone for inputting requests to said navigation component, the mobile phone being the only component for inputting the requests to the navigation component so that there is no other components through which the requests to the navigation component can be inputted.
