15 Jul 2011TL;DR: In this article, a vehicular based navigational system employing augmented labeling and/or indicia is presented, which can be implemented within a variety of contexts including within a vehicle, within handheld/portable devices, within a headset/eyeglasses device, etc.
Abstract: Navigation system employing augmented labeling and/or indicia. Various embodiments provide very accurate and timely information to a user thereby minimizing the amount of time or effort that a user will need to interpret or translate any information and/or directions provided thereby. In one instance, a vehicular based navigational system, which can operate with one or more projectors, provides information to a user such that the user need not turn away from the actual field of vision (e.g., 3D, 2D, etc.). Labeling and/or indicia is/are projected within the actual field of vision of the navigation system user. In another instance, labeling and/or indicia are overlaid or included within photographic and/or video information corresponding to an environment depicted by the navigation system. Such a navigation system may be implemented within a variety of contexts including within a vehicle, within a handheld/portable device, within a headset/eyeglasses device, etc.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel aid system formed of wireless sensors, meant to help navigation of the visually impaired, which addresses both orientation and obstacle negotiation and is GPS-free and does not need external assistance in navigation.
Abstract: Navigation aids for the pedestrians are considered new research challenges. The visually impaired are particularly concerned, because of their need to detect and avoid obstacles, as well as to orient themselves in unknown environments. In this paper, we discuss some existing projects in this domain and we propose a novel aid system formed of wireless sensors, meant to help navigation of the visually impaired, which addresses both orientation and obstacle negotiation. The proposed system is GPS-free and does not need external assistance in navigation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a navigation system that can rapidly and surely guide a person who goes to meet even at the place in which the person who went to meet does not know.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a navigation system or the like which can rapidly and surely guide a person who goes to meet even at the place in which the person who goes to meet does not know. SOLUTION: When the first communication terminal device communicates with the second communication terminal device, the position information of the first terminal device is transmitted to the second terminal device, and thereafter the information is transferred from the second terminal device to the vehicle navigation apparatus. The navigation apparatus sets a destination based on the position information, and retrieves the route to the destination. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

14 Sep 1995TL;DR: In this paper, a navigation apparatus stores road data which are formed by a network of road links and traveling costs corresponding to the respective ones of the road links, which are updated on the basis of a conversion table.
Abstract: A navigation apparatus stores road data which are formed by a network of road links (303) and traveling costs corresponding to the respective ones of the road links. When the navigation apparatus receives traffic information corresponding to a specific link (301) which is set for communication of traffic information, the stored traveling costs are updated on the basis of a conversion table (200). The traveling cost for a road link corresponding to a specific link which is closed for traffic is updated to " INFINITY ". A route between an origin and a destination is searched for through the updated traveling costs and the network of the road links (303).

TL;DR: This case study describes an Android-based feedback mechanism, created to gain structured input on prototypes of Google Maps Navigation, a mobile GPS navigation system, during real-world usage.
Abstract: This case study describes an Android-based feedback mechanism, created to gain structured input on prototypes of Google Maps Navigation, a mobile GPS navigation system, during real-world usage We note the challenges faced, common to many mobile projects, and how we addressed them We describe the user flow for submitting feedback; the resulting feedback report from the team's perspective; our triaging process for the high volume of incoming data; and the results & benefits gleaned from using this system Learnings and recommendations are provided, to aid mobile teams who may be interested in developing a similar system for their working prototype, particularly if real-world testing is required
