Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for generating map points in a vehicle.
  • Vehicle GPS navigation systems and mobile GPS navigation systems display the location of the user on a map generated by the system. Such systems are capable of displaying icons showing locations on the map of various points of interest chosen by the user, such as ATMs, restaurants, fire stations, police stations, emergency rooms, and the like.
  • the present invention provides a warning for vehicle navigation GPS map systems and mobile GPS map systems that display the location of the user on a map generated by the system.
  • the warning can be an icon of a point of interest ("POI") selected from a traffic light, a school zone, or a railway crossing that the vehicle is approaching.
  • POI point of interest
  • a marker line such as a yellow line, can be drawn on the map from the present location to the displayed POI.
  • the system can be limited to display the traffic signal icon only when the user is approaching a yellow light or a red light, thereby emphasizing the importance of the warning and avoiding warning fatigue.
  • the display of the traffic signal icon can be limited when a driver is talking on the phone, i.e., when the wireless device is in an active voice mode as described in the above-noted U.S. Patent Nos. 7,308,247 and 7,986,934.
  • an icon of a telephone can also appear on the display.
  • a method for improving safety for use with a navigation GPS map system that can display the current location of a vehicle that contains the navigation system on a map generated by the system, and in which a wireless communication device is used in a moving vehicle, the method warning of an approaching point of interest selected from a traffic light, a school zone, or a railway crossing that the vehicle is approaching, comprising exercising the following steps by means of as computer program:
  • the vehicle is within the predetermined distance, (ii) the vehicle is moving, and (iii) the wireless communication device is in an active voice mode whereupon an icon of the point of interest is displayed.
  • Figure 1 is depiction of one embodiment of the invention, in which a hand-held GPS navigation system map showing an icon of a traffic light at the top of the display as well as showing the icon of a traffic light near the location of the user's vehicle;
  • Figure 2 is a depiction of a second embodiment of the invention, in which a hand-held GPS navigation system map showing an icon of a traffic light at the top of the display as well as showing the icon of a telephone;
  • Figure 3 is a depiction of the dashboard area of a car with a navigation system installed and depicts a warning traffic light icon as well as the icon of a telephone;
  • Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating operation of the method.
  • a hand-held GPS navigation system map is shown in a first embodiment of the invention.
  • An icon of a traffic light is depicted at the top of the display to indicate that a traffic light is near.
  • an icon of a traffic light is shown near the location of the user's vehicle along with the position of the user both in latitude and longitude readings as well as a graphic position indicator.
  • a hand-held GPS navigation system map is shown as in a first embodiment of the invention to indicate that a traffic light is near, and an icon of a phone is also shown to indicate that the user in on the phone in an active voice mode.
  • FIG 3 a system map of a GPS navigation system installed in the dashboard of a car is shown with the icon of a traffic light prominently shown along with the icon of a telephone.
  • the telephone icon indicates that someone in the car is using a phone, either a telephone installed in the car or a mobile phone connected by Bluetooth to the navigation system display.
  • An active Bluetooth connection can itself be used to indicate that the user in on the phone in an active voice mode.
  • an icon of a different POI i.e., of a school or the barrier of a railway crossing can be displayed when the vehicle is respectively approaching a school or a railway crossing.
  • a warning audible alarm can optionally be sounded.
  • GPS is the most accurate and widespread global positioning system, accurate in most cases to 3 meters or less; and A-GPS, a modification of GPS, is widely deployed in current cellular phones in order to comply with the U.S. E-911 system requirements; in the future all or almost all U.S. cellular providers or equipment manufacturers will support location-based services via A-GPS (or a similar method).
  • Latitude and Longitude coordinates for signal light- controlled intersections or schools or railway crossings are obtained from a provider of such GPS coordinates such as deCarta, an LBS (location based services) platform company.
  • deCarta an LBS (location based services) platform company.
  • a change in coordinates indicates that the speed of the device exceeds a certain level, say 10 mph, or that the current coordinates of the device are within a certain distance, say 250 feet (very roughly one half to one quarter of a city block) of the coordinates of the location of a POI such as a traffic light (the "warning coordinates"), that the change in coordinates indicates that the vehicle is moving towards the POI, the navigation system displays the appropriate icon on its map.
  • FIG 4 is flowchart illustrating operation of the method. It is described with respect to a GPS navigation system installed in the dashboard of a car as in Figure 3 and is set to display one or more points of interest ("POI") selected from traffic lights school zones and railway crossings.
  • a software program in the car is started and updates the current GPS location of the car.
  • the software determines whether the user is near (e.g., 250 feet) one of the POIs. If not, then the software continues to update the current location. If the software determines that the user is near one of the POIs, the software displays the relevant icon for the traffic light, school zone, or railway crossing. Either before or after the foregoing display, the software detects whether a phone is in voice mode. If it is, then the icon of a phone is also displayed, at the top of the navigation map.
  • a phone is in voice mode. If it is, then the icon of a phone is also displayed, at the top of the navigation map.
  • the software determines whether the user has crossed the traffic light, school zone or railway crossing. If not, then the current location is updated. If yes, then the POI icon is cleared and if the phone icon was displayed, it also is cleared, as well as is any marker line.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'amélioration de la sécurité destiné à être utilisé avec un système de carte GPS de navigation qui peut afficher l'emplacement courant d'un véhicule qui comporte le système de navigation sur une carte générée par le système, le procédé avertissant d'un point d'intérêt d'approche sélectionné parmi un feu tricolore, une zone d'école ou un passage à niveau vers lequel le véhicule s'approche en affichant une icône du feu tricolore, d'une zone d'école ou d'un passage à niveau. L'affichage peut être limité lorsqu'un dispositif de communication sans fil dans le véhicule est en mode vocal actif.
