Definitions

  • Document GB2538145 (A) relates to a navigation device for attachment to a bicycle, comprising: means for receiving data indicative of a compass bearing relative to the bicycle; means for processing positioning data to determine a direction relative to the navigation device that corresponds to the compass bearing; and a display for indicating the relative direction to a user of the bicycle.
  • the navigation device is able to indicate the direction to a destination by using the GPS information from a smartphone and an inner magnetometer to establish its own orientation.
  • the information about the GPS coordinates may be sent using wireless connection.
  • a computer program executable by the portable electronic device such as a tablet or a cellphone or a smartphone
  • the program is configured to interface the portable electronic device with the navigation indicating device, so that the portable electronic device provides a position signal to the navigation indicating device, and wherein the navigation indicating device provides an indication of navigation by means of at least one light indicator based on the position signal
  • the computer program is further configured for visualizing information on a screen of the portable electronic device during the use of the navigation indicating device.
  • the navigation indicating device 100 is interfaceable with a portable electronic device such as a tablet or a cellphone or a smartphone, as it will be hereinafter further described.
  • the navigation indicating device 100 preferably comprises a rubberized plastic body whose shape simulates the head of a cricket, having a housing 101 adapted to house a portable electronic device such as a cellphone or a smartphone, as it will be further described.
  • a light indicator of“informative” type is a light indicator which is adapted to signal an information of cognitive type, such as a qualification of a navigation checkpoint or destination, or supplemental information as an aid to navigation.
  • At least one pair of LED light indicators which are adapted to provide an indication of navigation of the left/ right/ forward type, is provided.
  • two pairs are provided: one on the left 104a and 105a, and one on the right 104b and 105b.
  • the navigation indicating device 100 further comprises a loudspeaker (not shown), which is configured to reproduce sound information.
  • the LEDs 104a, 104b, 105a and 105b are yellow-light LEDs and are useful to indicate the turning directions, whereas the three informative LEDs 102a, 102b and 106 may change in colour, are positioned centrally and indicate the typology of a place of interest.
  • the firmware of the microcontroller consists of an initial configuration step upon turning on and of a subsequent power-down status, awaiting a wake-up signal coming from the Bluetooth module. Upon awakening, the microcontroller receives the information from the Bluetooth module and sends the turning on commands to the LEDs and to the loudspeaker, and then returns to the power-down step until subsequent communications from a smartphone.
  • a button (not shown) allows keeping the Bluetooth module which is turned off when not in use.
  • the navigation indicating device 100 may be applied to different vehicles by means of proper brackets or even brought by hand.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a third screen 501 on the smartphone 201 associated with the navigation indicating device 100.
  • the portable electronic device 201 can be inserted in the housing 101 before, during or after interfacing of the two devices 100 and 201.
  • the indication of navigation provided by at least one light indicator LED, and the information visualized on a screen of the portable electronic device 201 can happen at the same time, or at different times before/after with respect to each other.
  • said App provides information about the places of interest based on the selected preferences.
  • the App has a graphic look which is coordinated with the design of the body of the navigation device 100, and such as to replicate the peculiarities of the material object in the techno/ virtual mode, thus merging the analogue with the digital dimension.
  • the App is configured to activate second light indicators of the informative type 102a, 102b and/or 106 of the navigation indicating device 100, to provide the indication of navigation when near a destination.
  • the App may also allow selecting a thematic route by a user, preferably of the artistic and/or architectonic and/or musical and/or cultural type, and thus it may build up the thematic route by suitably structuring the position signal and the indication of navigation. Finally, the App may further store preferred destinations of the user.
