25 Jan 2001TL;DR: In this article, a navigation system in which a mobile terminal side 101 is not equipped with a CD-ROM for storing map database 105, but implements an on-demand navigation function by sharing the one provided within a server 102.
Abstract: A navigation system in which a mobile terminal side 101 is not equipped with a CD-ROM for storing map database 105 , but implements an on-demand navigation function by sharing the one provided within a server 102 . By limiting the communications between the mobile terminal 101 and the server 102 only to the beginning of the route guidance and the moment at which the mobile terminal has deviated from the route, the communication traffic can be reduced, minimizing thereby the communication cost and the total power consumption as a whole, and further even when the mobile terminal 101 has deviated from the guide route, the system can readily provide the user with information by which he can reach his destination through communications with the server, and enabling also an indication of the name of the road to be taken at every crossings.

09 Aug 2010TL;DR: In this article, a navigation function implemented on a mobile phone is described, in which the navigation function automatically sends an estimated time of arrival (ETA) to a contact associated with a destination selected for navigation purposes.
Abstract: Aspects provide for a navigation function implemented on a device that has a communication capability (e.g., a mobile phone) in which the navigation function automatically sends an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) to a contact associated with a destination selected for navigation purposes. For example, when a user activates a navigation function on his mobile phone, and selects a destination for which a route will be generated from his current location to the destination, a contact phone number associated with that destination will be sent a Short Message System (SMS) message with the calculated ETA. Provisions can be made for automatic updates as the route is traveled. Other information pertaining to the reasons for the ETA can be selected or automatically generated by the navigation function.

21 Apr 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a navigation system is provided for offering navigational assistance to a mobile user, which receives GPS position information signals which are processed to determine current position latitude and longitude coordinates and direction of travel.
Abstract: A navigation system is provided for offering navigational assistance to a mobile user. The navigation system receives GPS position information signals which are processed to determine current position latitude and longitude coordinates and direction of travel. A destination database includes a plurality of categorized destinations and corresponding destination position coordinates pertaining to the destinations. The destination database is stored on an interfacable memory card and contains menu categories and subcategories for classifying the destinations and additional text information pertaining to the destinations. User selectable menu controls enable the user to sequence through the menu of categories and destinations and select a desired destination. This is easily accomplished by rotating a rotary pushbutton to view category and destination selections and depressing the rotary pushbutton to select the selection shown. A processor compares the current position coordinates with the position coordinates of the selected destination and determines a distance and a straight-line direction from the current position to the selected destination. A display displays the distance and a direction pointing indicator for showing the direction from the current position to the selected destination. In one embodiment, the navigation system is integrated with an audio entertainment system and shares a common display and housing.

07 Sep 2010TL;DR: A novel approach to pedestrian navigation using bearing-based haptic feedback, where people are guided in the general direction of their destination via vibration, but additional exploratory navigation is stimulated by varying feedback based on the potential for taking alternative routes.
Abstract: In this article we describe a novel approach to pedestrian navigation using bearing-based haptic feedback. People are guided in the general direction of their destination via vibration, but additional exploratory navigation is stimulated by varying feedback based on the potential for taking alternative routes. We describe two mobile prototypes that were created to examine the possible benefits of the approach. The successful use of this exploratory navigation method is demonstrated in a realistic field trial, and we discuss the results and interesting participant behaviours that were recorded.

TL;DR: In this article, one or more computer processors receive a request for navigation assistance to a destination from a first user and dispatch a navigation assistance UAV to the first user, where the UAV provides navigation assistance for the route.
Abstract: In an approach to providing navigation assistance, one or more computer processors receive a request for navigation assistance to a destination from a first user. The one or more computer processors dispatch a navigation assistance UAV to the first user. The one or more computer processors determine a route for the first user to follow to the destination. The one or more computer processors provide navigation assistance for the route to the first user using the navigation assistance UAV.
