Automatic activation of turn signals in a vehicle

Abstract: According to various embodiments, turn signals are automatically activated in response to signals received from a navigation system, based on the navigation instructions generated by the navigation system. The navigation system of a vehicle (either built into the vehicle or provided as a stand-alone unit) is communicatively coupled with or otherwise integrated with the turn signals of the vehicle. When the navigation system instructs the driver to perform a maneuver (such as making a turn), it can also cause the appropriate turn signal to be automatically activated at the appropriate time and/or distance in advance of the maneuver. When the navigation system detects that the maneuver has been made, or that the driver has ignored the system's instructions, the turn signal can be automatically deactivated.

Landmark-based navigation in complex buildings

Abstract: Growing numbers of mobile devices in our daily life and their capability to fulfill challenging computational tasks raise the question about new application fields beyond well-established tasks. While outdoor navigation became a standard task for many mobile devices, indoor positioning and navigation is still in the research and development stage. Even though complex buildings require aided guidance for visitors, today's mobile hardware is not able to deliver a reliable indoor navigation system. In this paper we describe a novel information system for indoor navigation in complex buildings. Users are guided through the building by using images of the surroundings and textual instructions. We avoid hardware-based user positioning due to its known drawbacks. Instead, users are involved into the navigation process and complete missing information through recognized context and logical constrains of their surroundings. The human navigation process based on recognition of certain unique locations and visual clues is the foundation of this work. The proposed system is universally applicable without restrictions on navigation devices or existing hardware in the building.

Navigation system with location adaptation and method of operation thereof

Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a request for a destination; establishing a predetermined time period based on the destination; calculating a user generated address associated with the destination and filtered with the predetermined time period; generating a comparison between a destination address of the destination and the user generated address; and generating a travel route to the user generated address for the destination with the comparison as the non-match for displaying on a device.

System, components and methodologies for navigation route planning

Abstract: A navigation system, components and methodologies enables a process for including a specific route segment on a calculated route from a starting location to a destination. Accordingly, the navigation system, its components and the associated navigation route planning methodologies enable planning based on at least a user's personal preference for the inclusion of at least one specific route segment in a planned navigation route.

System for updating navigation information and apparatus for distributing updated navigation information

Abstract: A navigation information updating system G updates navigation information for use in a navigation process executed by navigation apparatus S that navigate respective vehicles. The navigation information updating system G comprises: the navigation apparatus transmitting an identifier Sid associated therewith to an updating center UC; the updating center UC that outputs updated navigation information which is generated on the basis of the transmitted identifier Sid for each associated navigation apparatus S, to a shop SP; and the shop SP that delivers the outputted updated navigation information to the associated navigation apparatus S.
