Other ranges for the systems and methods of the present invention will be apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It is to be understood that the following detailed description, as well as specific embodiments, are intended to be illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the portable electronic device 100 includes a positioning module 110 , a processing unit 120 , a memory 130 , and a display unit 140 . The portable electronic device 100 can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a small notebook computer, or a personal digital assistant. The positioning module 110 is configured to continuously receive the positioning data of the portable electronic device 100. The positioning module 110 is one or a combination of a global satellite positioning system, a base station positioning system, and a Wi-Fi positioning system. The Global Positioning System (GPS) refers to a medium-distance circular orbit satellite navigation system that provides accurate positioning, speed measurement, and high-precision time standards for most areas of the Earth's surface. The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of 24 GPS satellites in space. The positioning method is based on at least three satellites confirming the location and altitude of the user on the Earth. The more satellites can be connected, the more decoding. The more accurate the position is. The base station positioning system refers to the positioning of the base unit of the base station currently used by the mobile phone, and further calculates the distance between the mobile phone and the base station by the time difference of the radio wave reflection, but if the user is located in a remote area of the base station or In the suburbs, the error caused by its positioning is large. The Wi-Fi positioning system refers to the strength of the Wi-Fi signal received by the positioning server, determines the distance of the positioning tag from the wireless network base station, and calculates the specific position of the electronic device by means of triangulation. among them, The positioning data obtained through the positioning module 110 is expressed in longitude and latitude.

The processing unit 120 is configured to execute a speed calculation program, and the speed calculation program obtains a complex speed value according to the positioning data. Wherein, the obtained speed value is determined by the first predetermined speed range at a predetermined time point (the first predetermined speed range described herein refers to the driving speed, which can be set by the user, for example, the range is set to 11~200km/ Hr) is reduced to a second predetermined speed range (the second predetermined speed range described herein refers to the walking speed, which can also be set by the user, for example, the range is set to 0 to 10 km/hr) and maintained for a predetermined period of time. The positioning data corresponding to the predetermined time point is output as the recording positioning data. It is worth noting that the purpose of judging whether the speed value is maintained for a predetermined period is that when the situation of a short stop such as a traffic jam is encountered, the error record location information can be avoided, and can also be set by the user. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the speed range obtained by the speed calculation program is reduced from 60 to 80 km/hr to 5 to 10 km/hr, and the speed range of 5 to 10 km/hr is maintained for more than 10 minutes, the user is determined to be self-determined. When the driving speed is changed to a walking speed, the predetermined time point of the speed conversion is stored as the recording positioning data, and the obtained recording positioning data is available for the user to calculate the position of the user to stop or for other purposes.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the user can further set a predetermined speed difference, except that the speed value obtained by the speed calculation program is reduced from the first predetermined speed value to the second predetermined speed value, and the speed difference between the two is greater than the above. If the speed difference is set, for example, the speed difference is greater than 40 km/hr, the positioning data corresponding to the predetermined time point is stored. It is worth noting that the predetermined speed difference described herein can be set by the user. At this point, the location of the user's parking will be better than the positioning described in the previous paragraph. more precise.

The memory 130 is configured to store the above record location data and a database with multiple map information. It should be noted that the speed calculation program can further access the map information of the database, and display the positioning information on the display unit 140 to display the map information; or, in combination with an existing navigation program, the recording data can be recorded. Transfer to the navigation program for navigation purposes.

In addition, if the user cannot find the parking location according to the map information corresponding to the recording location data, the navigation program can calculate the shortest path of the user's current positioning data and the stored recording positioning data, and display the shortest path corresponding to the shortest path. Map information for the path.

2 is a flow chart showing a method of operating a user interface according to an embodiment of the invention. First, the processing unit 120 executes a speed calculation program (step S210). Then, the process proceeds to step S220, the positioning module 110 continuously receives the positioning data of the portable electronic device 100, and transmits the positioning data to the processing unit 120. The positioning module 110 is one of a global satellite positioning system, a base station positioning system, and a Wi-Fi positioning system. In step S230, the processing unit 120 obtains a complex speed value according to the positioning data. Next, the processor 120 further determines whether the speed value is reduced from the first predetermined speed value to the second predetermined speed value. For example, the speed value obtained by the speed calculation program is reduced from 60 km/hr (the driving speed, that is, the first predetermined speed value) to 5 km/hr (walking speed, that is, the second predetermined speed value) at a predetermined time point. When the user may have left the car and walked on foot, the process proceeds to step S250. If the speed value does not fall to the second predetermined speed value, then return to step S220 to continuously receive the positioning data. But to confirm if the user is leaving the car, or just because of some The traffic factor causes the vehicle speed to decrease. Therefore, the processing unit 120 determines whether the speed value obtained next is maintained below the second predetermined speed value for a predetermined period, for example, maintaining a speed value of 5 kn/hr for more than 10 minutes, and if so, the output corresponds to the predetermined time. The location data of the time point is used as the record location data (step S260), and the record location data is stored in the memory 130; otherwise, if it is not maintained for a predetermined period, the process returns to step S220 to continuously receive the location data. Finally, the process proceeds to step S270, and the display unit 140 displays map information corresponding to the record location data. The map information is stored in the memory 130.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the user may further determine whether the speed difference between the first predetermined speed value and the second predetermined speed value is greater than a predetermined speed difference after performing step S240, for example, setting the predetermined speed difference to 55 km/hr. If it is greater than the predetermined speed difference, the process proceeds to step S250 to determine whether or not to maintain a predetermined period. At this point, the location where the user is parked will be more accurate than the location described in the previous paragraph.

It should be noted that the speed calculation program described in the above embodiment may be executed together with a navigation program for receiving the record positioning data and displaying the map information corresponding to the record positioning data. The navigation program further calculates a shortest path of the positioning data and the recorded positioning data, and displays the map information corresponding to the shortest path. To provide the user with the parking location corresponding to the above-mentioned record location data in the shortest time.

In summary, the portable electronic device and the user interface operation method according to an embodiment of the present invention record the location of the user's parking and display it by performing a speed calculation program by a significant change in speed. to On the map, the shortest distance between the user's current location and the parking location can also be calculated, so that the user can find the parking location in the shortest time.
