Therefore, receive after selecting (for example) indication that is shown in " I where " button on integrated form input and the display device 290 or icon 650 as shown in Figure 7, receive request for the position that shows described guider at processor 210.In addition, it should be understood that could (for example, Fig. 6 " seeks help to selecting at least one previous icon about emergency that shows receiving! " icon 500) and indication after carry out " I where " button or icon 650 this show that the icon of described previous demonstration is to be shown on integrated form input and the display device 290.
For instance, described conversion can comprise at least one road of determining guider 200 places; And/or the two road at least of determining to approach guider 200; And/or at least one road at definite guider 200 places and then definite at least one relative nearest road that intersects with described fixed road.Therefore, the display message that is this literal readable form can (for example) comprise for example information of following message: the road at guider 200 current places, the current city or the village at user place, and/or approach the road of guider 200, and/or the road that intersects with the road at guider 200 places.For instance, the processor 210 of guider 200 can receive (known GPS position or last known GPS position) aforementioned GPS information, and then described GPS information can be compared with the current cartographic information in the storer 230 that is stored in guider 200, follow (for example) a plurality of rules that are programmed that are used to convert to the literal readable form, and then the GPS positional information that receives is converted to the literal readable form, so that in the zone 720 of input of (for example) integrated form and display device 290, show.
For instance, but the cartographic information in processor 210 searching storages 230, and can attempt at least one road (noticing that all these positions are at least one in Current GPS position and the Last Known Location) at definite guider 200 places.If processor 210 determines that guider 200 is positioned on (being referred to as " road " herein) such as particular street, road, highways, then processor 210 can be inspected the cartographic information that is stored in the storer 230 to determine first intersecting roads " x " in a direction, and it intersects with guider 200 road through definite place; And then inspection is stored in cartographic information in the storer 230 to determine another intersecting roads " y " in a reverse direction, it intersects with guider 200 road through determining the place (if the user is positioned at highway on the street, then processor 210 can determine to be positioned at two outlets on the either side of guider 200 positions in a similar manner similarly).Thus, processor 210 can then be determined at least one in the following road: a road at guider 200 places; At least the two road " x " of approaching guider 200 reach " y "; And a road at guider 200 places reaches at least one relative nearest road that intersects with described fixed road.
Processor 210 can further calculate distance between the fixed position of specific intersecting roads and guider 200 according to being stored in cartographic information in the storer 230.These distances can be by round-up, so that can not make description too complicated (for example, 500 yards, 5 miles etc.).Thus, can show this information, wherein the selection of " I where " button 650 be can be request for the position of processor 210 display navigation apparatus 200 at " I where " button 650 rear lines in having selected viewing area 720.
Can by the processor 210 of guider 200 follow (for example) be stored in the processor 210 or the storer 230 of processor 210 in a plurality of rules that are programmed, convert the GPS position that receives to the literal readable form so that in zone 720, show.
About can being stored in the rule by programming in (for example) storer 230, phrase " I am arranged in " only can be stored and can be confirmed as the cartographic information that can store via GPS position signalling that receives and storer 230 when processor 210 and can be used when determining the road at guider 200 actual places.If processor 210 is determined guiders 200 not on road, but can determine road " z " guider 200 near or approach guider 200, then described rule can stipulate that can use for example is near another phrase of " I am [" z "] ".Determine the intersection or the corner location place of guider 200 " a " and " b " intersection if compared with the cartographic information of having stored in the GPS position that receives in two road by processor 210, then described rule can be stipulated, can use another phrase: phrase " I am positioned at the corner in street [" a "] and street [" b "] ".Thus, the GPS positional information that processor 210 can be selected to begin to receive from multiple mode converts the literal readable form in the zone 720 of demonstration 700 to be shown to, and it should be noted that the definition that can widen rule according to the ability of guider 200.
In addition, if processor 210 determines can not determine the GPS position of guider 200, then device can be determined the GPS position of last previously known.In the case, be not show " I ... ", rule can stipulate that processor 210 shows words " I before existed ... ".In addition, also can show the number of minutes about the final time that receives GPS information (for example, determining) as receiving with the difference of current time according to the gps signal of last record by processor 210.Therefore, displaying contents can (for example) be " I [x] minute before in the corner of [city] [road 1] with [road 2] ".A plurality of predefined descriptions and rule can all be stored in the storer 230 and insert and/or use for processor 210.
As an additional examples, when guider 200 is in metropolitan area and not on highway, can use the description of the first kind, for example, " I am in [road] [number] of [city/state] ", for example " I in the street, Jinmen in San Francisco city No. 450 ".When guider 200 is on highway, can use the description of another type, for example " I am on [highway] [the road name] between [near the guider 200 of the current location city of process recently] and [city of just going near the user of current location]; the outlet [going out slogan] in close [state/province] ", for example, " I am on the A2 (E35) between Utrecht and the Brooker human relations, and the Brooker human relations that economize apart from Utrecht export (going out slogan 5) 600 meters ".
At last, rule by programming also can comprise based on the option of describing the position of guider 200 with the degree of approach of POI position.For instance, processor 210 can with described position not only with the cartographic information stored coupling, and with itself and POI location matches.If determine guider 200 in the threshold distance of the POI of for example Centraal Station, then output can for example be " I am near Centraal Station ".Alternative site of road or this output of demonstration behind site of road.
In addition, the demonstration that it should be noted that " I where " position also can be exported including (for example) audio frequency.For instance, this can be carried out to speech (TTS) module operation in conjunction with literal by processor 210.The language of output can be linked to the language by one's original domicile country of the language of user's selection of guider 200 and/or user.In addition, if the user is connected its mobile phone or matches with guider 200, then can the literal of " I where " screen of Fig. 8 be passed to 911 or 112 emergency operators, even make (for example) user mute (because mishap, not talkative described language etc.) operator also can understand and the position of definite user and guider 200 by mobile phone.
