Optimization of navigation tools using spatial sorting

Digital map navigation applications for use with a mobile computing device are optimized using a spatial sorting method. Spatial sorting entails partitioning a digital map into tiles and maintaining information that links tiles to points on the route. When a particular map navigation application is invoked, a set of relevance rules are defined for that map application to determine which of the route points to process. This determination is made by extracting from the look-up table a subset of the full set of route points, based on the relevance rules. Because the subset of route points is processed instead of the original full set of route points, the mobile device is capable of efficiently handling a complex route that otherwise would entail considerable expenditure of processor time and use of computer memory to store and retrieve unnecessary data.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

[Object] An object of the present technology is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an information processing method capable of allowing a user to approach a destination intuitively. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a position-coordinate acquisition part, a direction acquisition part, a direction calculation part, and a haptic-feedback determining part. The position-coordinate acquisition part acquires a position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The direction acquisition part acquires an apparatus direction that the information processing apparatus faces. The direction calculation part calculates a target direction being a direction of a target with respect to the information processing apparatus from a position coordinate of the target and the position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The haptic-feedback determining part determines a haptic feedback to be presented to a user on the basis of an angle formed by the apparatus direction and the target direction.

INTERSECTION GUIDE SYSTEM, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Intersection guide systems, methods, and programs acquire information on a vehicle path, acquire a vehicle travel direction at a guide intersection ahead of the vehicle based on the information on the path, and cause a display to transition from a first display state to a second display state when a degree of approach of the vehicle to the guide intersection becomes equal to or more than a threshold. In the first display state, the display displays a guide image that represents the travel direction superimposed on a portion of a forward scene ahead of the vehicle other than the guide intersection, and displays a connection line image superimposed on the forward scene that connects between the guide intersection in the forward scene and the guide image. In the second display state, the display displays the guide image superimposed on the guide intersection in the forward scene. 1. An intersection guide system comprising:a memory storing a program; and acquires information on a path of a vehicle;', 'acquires a travel direction of the vehicle at a guide intersection ahead of the vehicle on the basis of the information on the path;', 'causes a display state on a display to transition from a first display state to a second display state in the case where a degree of approach of the vehicle to the guide intersection becomes equal to or more than a threshold;', 'in the first display state, causes the display to display a guide image that represents the travel direction as superimposed on a portion of a forward scene ahead of the vehicle other than an image of the guide intersection, and causes the display to display a connection line image as superimposed on the forward scene, the connection line image connecting between the image of the guide intersection in the forward scene and the guide image; and', 'in the second display state, causes the display to display the guide image as superimposed on the image of the guide intersection in the forward scene., 'a CPU that, when ...

Context-aware voice guidance

A context-aware voice guidance method is provided that interacts with other voice services of a user device. The voice guidance does not provide audible guidance while the user is making a verbal request to any of the voice-activated services. Instead, the voice guidance transcribes its output on the screen while the verbal requests from the user are received. In some embodiments, the voice guidance only provides a short warning sound to get the user's attention while the user is speaking on a phone call or another voice-activated service is providing audible response to the user's inquires. The voice guidance in some embodiments distinguishes between music that can be ducked and spoken words, for example from an audiobook, that the user wants to pause instead of being skipped. The voice guidance ducks music but pauses spoken words of an audio book in order to provide voice guidance to the user.

Concept for the Control of a Display of a Mobile Augmented Reality Device

The invention relates to a method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for controlling a display of a mobile augmented reality device of a user. First a static navigation display for a destination is generated, which is positioned in a stationary manner in a real environment. If a situation is detected that requires an adaptation of the display of the mobile augmented reality device, a static navigation display adapted to the situation or a supplementary navigation display is generated. 1. A method of controlling a display of a mobile augmented reality device of a user for pedestrian navigation , having the steps:generating a static navigation display for a destination that is fixedly positioned in a real environment;detecting a situation that requires an adaptation of the display of the mobile augmented reality device on the basis of user input or a distance of the user from a displayed navigation path; andgenerating a static navigation display adapted to the situation, or a supplementary navigation display.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input comprises a facial gesture of the user claim 1 , a hand gesture of the user claim 1 , or a voice command of the user.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplementary navigation display is a temporary navigation path toward the destination claim 1 , a compass claim 1 , or a directional arrow.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplementary navigation display is a visual signal with a directional characteristic.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein an area that can be augmented by the augmented reality device is divided into subareas in the real environment claim 1 , and wherein the static navigation display is a navigation path proceeding from a first subarea in the direction of the destination claim 1 , having the steps:detecting that the user is switching from a first subarea to a second subarea;hiding the navigation path proceeding from the first subarea; andinserting a ...
