An object of the invention is a method of notifying at least one user of a navigation terminal having, prior to the reproduction of navigation information, an enrichment of the navigation information as a function of data transmitted during a navigation device. asynchronous communication to a group of at least one user. Thus, a user of a navigation terminal can intervene to integrate any type of information from an asynchronous communication that is intended for navigation information. In addition, it is possible for the navigation terminal to have navigation information locally or to receive it from a navigation service provisioning device.

Description

The invention relates to the notification of at least one user of a navigation terminal.

The field of navigation has evolved considerably since its appearance in the 1980s. From devices simply indicating the location on a map, they have gradually been able to calculate and indicate a route to follow to go to a chosen destination, taking into account First of all, it counts simply the road network, then also constraints such as road works, traffic jams, etc.

The user of such navigation devices remained passive, namely that he could not interfere with the navigation information reproduced for himself or other users of the same navigation device.

In recent years, community navigation systems have overcome this disadvantage by allowing users to indicate a certain number of incidents or risks on the road network such as accidents, traffic jams and other danger zones. For this purpose, the user sends by means of his navigation device, a predetermined notification according to the type of incident to report to a navigation service provision device which integrates the incident information in the navigation information transmitted to the navigation terminals of the users of the navigation service in question. Thus, the user of a navigation service can intervene in the displayed navigation information but in a very limited way: only to indicate predefined incident information, and provided that the navigation information is transmitted by a delivery device navigation service to navigation terminals.

One of the aims of the present invention is to provide improvements over the state of the art. An object of the invention is a method of notifying at least one user of a navigation terminal having, prior to the reproduction of navigation information, an enrichment of the navigation information as a function of data transmitted during a navigation device. asynchronous communication to a group of at least one user.

Thus, a user of a navigation terminal can intervene to integrate any type of information from an asynchronous communication that is intended for navigation information. In addition, this is possible because the navigation terminals have local navigation information or receive them from a navigation service provisioning device. Advantageously, said enrichment comprises adding a message of said asynchronous communication to said navigation information.

Thus, the user of a navigation terminal may choose to receive his short messages also called SMS on his navigation terminal. Advantageously, said addition is performed if said communication verifies certain predetermined criteria.

Thus, only certain messages are integrated in the navigation information such as the messages from certain contacts (the criterion is then that the user sending the asynchronous communication is a predetermined contact or one of the predetermined contacts), the urgent messages or priority (the criterion is then the type of communication), or messages containing certain keywords such as "rendezvous", "wait? Advantageously, said enrichment is anchored in said navigation information as a function of data transmitted during said asynchronous communication.

Thus, if the user sending an asynchronous communication integrates: metadata to his synchronous communication such as GPS coordinates or by indicating a geographical location, or the communication terminal automatically integrates the GPS coordinates of transmission of the asynchronous communication or - location information in the message transmitted during said asynchronous communication, the enrichment will not be reproduced instantly on the navigation terminal but only with the navigation information correlated with this geographical location. For example, a message such as "turn right at school X" will be displayed on the map when the navigation terminal will be less than 500 meters before school X regardless of the time of receipt of the asynchronous communication having reach this message. Advantageously, the notification method comprises, prior to said enrichment, an analysis of the data of said asynchronous communication making it possible to determine notification data with which the navigation information is enriched. Thus, the message carried by the asynchronous communication may not be fully reproduced or not be simply reproduced with the navigation information including display of the message on the display screen of the navigation map or vocalization of the message by the navigation terminal. For example, a long message containing an indication such as "go to Y" will trigger a proposal to change the navigation to destination "Y" by the navigation terminal, or a message such as "turn right to School X "will propose to integrate the notified information" turn right "not in the form of text but by an arrow to the right on the road map. Advantageously, said notification method comprises, prior to said enrichment, an analysis of the data of said asynchronous communication making it possible to determine anchoring data used to anchor said enrichment in said navigation information. Thus, if the user sending an asynchronous communication integrates location information into the message transmitted during said asynchronous communication, the enrichment will not be reproduced instantaneously on the navigation terminal but only with the navigation information correlated with it. Geographical location. For example, a message such as "turn right at school X" will be displayed on the map when the navigation terminal will be less than 500 meters before school X regardless of the time of receipt of the asynchronous communication having reach this message. Advantageously, according to an implementation of the invention, the various steps of the method according to the invention are implemented by software or computer program, this software comprising software instructions intended to be executed by a data processor of a computer. device forming part of a navigation system and being designed to control the execution of the various steps of this method. The invention therefore also relates to a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the notification method when said program is executed by a processor. This program can use any programming language and be in the form of source code, object code or intermediate code between source code and object code such as in a partially compiled form or in any other desirable form.

An object of the invention is also a navigation terminal comprising at least one navigation information reproduction module, and a navigation information enrichment module, prior to the reproduction of navigation information, as a function of data transmitted during asynchronous communication to a group of at least one user. An object of the invention is again a device for providing navigation services comprising a navigation information transmission module intended for at least one navigation terminal of a user, and a module for enriching navigation information. navigation, prior to the transmission of the navigation information, based on data transmitted during an asynchronous communication to a group of at least one user.

An object of the invention is also a method of transmitting a notification received by a communication terminal of a user of a navigation terminal comprising a command for enriching the navigation information as a function of data transmitted when asynchronous communication to said communication terminal.

Thus, the communication terminal of the user of a navigation terminal controls the enrichment of the navigation information with data from asynchronous communication enabling enrichment that the navigation terminal has local navigation information or receives a navigation service provision device. Advantageously, the transmission method comprises, prior to said enrichment command, an analysis of the data of said asynchronous communication for determining notification data with which the navigation information is enriched. Thus, the analysis can be carried out by the communication terminal, for example, if the navigation terminal does not have the computing capabilities and makes it possible to limit the data transmitted in the enrichment command.

Advantageously, the transmission method comprises, prior to said enrichment command, an analysis of the data of said asynchronous communication making it possible to determine anchoring data used to anchor said enrichment in said navigation information. Advantageously, according to an implementation of the invention, the various steps of the method according to the invention are implemented by a software or computer program, this software comprising software instructions intended to be executed by a data processor of a communication terminal and being designed to control the execution of the different steps of this process. The invention therefore also relates to a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the method of transmission of a notification when said program is executed by a processor.

This program can use any programming language and be in the form of source code, object code or intermediate code between source code and object code such as in a partially compiled form or in any other desirable form.

Another object of the invention is a communication terminal of a user of a navigation terminal comprising an asynchronous communication device and a control device for enriching the navigation information of said navigation terminal as a function of data transmitted during a navigation terminal. asynchronous communication to said communication terminal. An object of the invention is also a device for adapting a message of an asynchronous communication to a navigation service, comprising a device for controlling the enrichment of the navigation information intended for a navigation terminal. at least one user based on data transmitted during an asynchronous communication to a communication terminal of said at least one user. Thus, an operator can provide an adaptation service able to intercept the asynchronous communications of the user either at the level of the communication device or at the communication terminal of the user having subscribed the adaptation service to generate navigation information enrichment commands either at the navigation service provisioning device or at the user's navigation terminal.

The features and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description, given by way of example, and the figures relating thereto which represent: FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, simplified diagrams respectively of a method of notification and enrichment by adding a notification method, according to the invention, - Figure 2, a simplified diagram of a method of transmitting a notification according to the invention, - Figures 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d, simplified diagrams of different navigation and communication architectures implementing devices according to the invention, FIGS. 4a and 4b, a first use scenario of the invention, FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d, a second use scenario of the invention. Figures 1a and 1b illustrate simplified diagrams respectively of a notification method and enrichment by adding a notification method, according to the invention. FIG. 1a illustrates a notification method according to the invention. The method of notifying at least one user of a navigation terminal comprises, prior to the reproduction of navigation information n_rpr (see FIG. 1b), an RCH enrichment of the navigation information n as a function of data of transmitted during ascomchronous ascom communication to a group of at least one user. The data which enables the enrichment of the navigation information is especially called the notification data d, mssg. Ascomchronous communication ascom allows the transmission of communications data c (d) comprising at least data d. The RCH enrichment comprises, in particular, a rdddd addition of a message mssg of said ascomchronous communication ascom to said navigation information n. Thus when the user receives, including an SMS with the message "think bread", the message is integrated with the navigation information and therefore reproduced by the navigation terminal of the user, for example displayed on the navigation screen is 30 for a predefined duration of displaying messages, ie until the user of the navigation terminal validates his reception (presses a physical or tactile validation key of the navigation terminal, or validation voice command for example) . The RCH enrichment furthermore comprises alternately or additionally to adding rchadd one or more other rcho enrichment mode, in particular by superimposing navigation information determined according to the notification data such as messages "turn right "," Continue straight ahead "," turn left "or the appropriate arrows on a map, or by calculating navigation information according to a destination or a specific step according to the notification data 40, etc. .

The RCH enrichment is, in particular, anchored in said navigation information n (a) as a function of data transmitted during said ascomchronous communication ascom. Thus, if the data which enables the enrichment of the navigation information is called the notification data, the notification data is not systematically integrated into the navigation information being reproduced n but can be integrated with navigation information n (a). ) specific depending for example on their location or the presence of a PO1 (Point Of Interest in English, place of interest in French) according to ascomchronous communication data ascom. For example, if the asynchronous communication says "turn right at the next church," the enrichment will be anchored in the navigation information with PO1 "Church" on the current path. As another example, if the asynchronous communication indicates "meet me at street R of city V", the enrichment will be anchored in the location navigation information indicated in the message.

In particular, the notification method comprises, prior to said RCH enrichment, an NTF_NLZ analysis of the data c (d) of said ascomchronous ascom communication making it possible to determine notification data d with which the navigation information n, n (a) is enriched. . In particular, the notification method comprises, prior to said RCH enrichment, an ANCH_NLZ analysis of data c (d) of said ascomchronous communication ascom making it possible to determine anchoring data used to anchor said RCH enrichment in said navigation information n ( at). In particular, the notification method comprises, prior to said RCH enrichment, an extraction of the message MSSG_REC carried by the ascomchronous communication ascom making it possible to determine the message mssg, also called notification data, with which the navigation information n, n (a) are enriched. In particular, the notification method comprises, prior to said RCH enrichment, NLZ analysis comprising one or more of the preceding analyzes (analysis of the notification data, extraction of messages, anchoring analyzes) carried out alternately, in parallel, in series. or a combination. An embodiment of the notification method is a program comprising program code instructions for performing the steps of the notification method when said program is executed by a processor. Figure 1b illustrates an example of RCH enrichment of the notification method. In particular, said RCH enrichment is performed if the communication verifies certain predetermined criteria crt, especially if the notification data d, mssg satisfy these criteria. This verification crt? is carried out either on the basis of the data already analyzed NLZ or by triggering a NLZ analysis (cf figure I a), in particular a specific analysis of the predetermined criteria (not illustrated). In particular, the enrichment may be restricted to certain senders (only the recipient's contacts, or only the family and / or friends, or only the professional contacts in a professional vehicle, or more precisely predefined contacts), to certain types of asynchronous communications (only SMS and / or textual instant messaging, less than N words, etc.), or certain keywords such as "rendezvous," "wait," "buy," or asynchronous communications with a geographical address or names of JTF, etc. If this is the case (OK) or if there is no criteria check, RCH enrichment can check if ascomchronous communication ascom has an anchor indication a? either based on the data already analyzed NLZ or by triggering an anchor analysis ANCH_NLZ (see figure I a). If the asynchronous communication does not have an anchoring indication (N), the enrichment rchadd, rcho is performed on the navigation information being reproduced n namely the browsing information read n_rd, prior to reproduction n rpr . Thus, the rchadd enrichment, rcho provided browsing information n enriched reproduction n_rpr Thus, a rchadd addition is made if said communication verifies certain predetermined criteria.

If the asynchronous communication has an anchoring indication (OK), or the enrichment rchadd, rcho is carried out on the navigation information being reproduced n namely the navigation information read n rd, prior to reproduction n_rpr , and, in this case, rchadd enrichment, rcho expects n (a) _WT to read the navigation information corresponding to the anchor a before executing. Thus, the rchadd enrichment, rcho provided navigation information n (a) "enriched to the reproduction n_rpr; - or RCH enrichment includes a search n (a) _srch of the navigation information concerned by the anchoring a in the navigation information database BDD_n. Thus, the rchadd enrichment, rcho receives from the search n (a) _srch the navigation information n (a) on which it has to anchor the notification data d, mssg , and provides the enriched navigation information n (a) for recording n (a) _wr in the navigation information database BDD_n.

Note that in the case of a record in the navigation database enriched navigation information, two options may be considered, depending on the type of enrichment and / or the predetermined conservation criteria (s) (s). ): 1 °) a reading of an enriched navigation information triggers an erasure of this navigation information enriched with the navigation information database (leaving in the navigation information database only the navigation information without enrichment), 2 °) a preservation until request for deletion by the recipient user of the enrichment of enriched navigation information in the navigation information database. Thus, a user can choose to systematically keep the enriched routes but not the "rendezvous" type of messages, "think to buy ...", etc.

The notification method is implemented in particular by the navigation terminal of a user receiving the asynchronous communication or a navigation service provision device subscribed to by a user who receives the asynchronous communication who has a navigation terminal. to reproduce information from said navigation service provisioning device.

Thus, the enrichment command provides rchcmd enrichment instructions including a notification method.

In particular, the transmission method comprises, prior to said CMDGEN enrichment command, an NTF_NLZ analysis of data c (d) of said ascomchronous ascom communication making it possible to determine notification data with which the navigation information is enriched. in particular, the transmission method comprises, prior to said CMDGEN enrichment command, an ANCH_NLZ analysis of the data c (d) of said ascomchronous ascom communication making it possible to determine anchoring data used to anchor said enrichment in said navigation information.

In particular, the transmission method comprises, prior to said CMDGEN enrichment command, an extraction of the message MSSG_REC carried by ascomchronous communication ascom to determine the message mssg, also called notification data, with which the navigation information is enriched .

In particular, the transmission method comprises an enrichment management RCH_MNGT comprising the CMDGEN enrichment command and, possibly, prior to this CMDGEN command, one or more of the preceding analyzes (analysis of the NTF_NLZ notification data, extraction of MSSG_REC messages, anchor analyzes ANCH_NLZ) performed alternately, in parallel, in series or in combination. In particular, the transmission method comprises a COM_REC communication reception prior to the CMDGEN enrichment command. The communication reception COM_REC notably comprises an extraction of the message MSSG_REC carried by the ascomchronous communication ascom making it possible to determine the message mssg, also called notification data, with which the navigation information is enriched.

In particular, the CMDGEN enrichment command is performed or not according to predetermined criteria. Especially if the notification data d, mssg satisfy these criteria, an enrichment is ordered. This verification is performed either on the basis of the data already analyzed or by triggering an analysis, in particular a specific analysis of the predetermined criteria. In particular, the order of an enrichment can be restricted to certain senders (only the contacts of the recipient, or only the family and / or friends, or only the professional contacts in a professional vehicle, or more precisely predefined contacts ), certain types of asynchronous communications (only SMS and / or text instant messaging, less than N words, etc.), or certain keywords such as "rendezvous," "wait," "buy," or communications asynchronous with a geographic address or POI names, etc. An embodiment of the transmission method is a program comprising program code instructions for performing the steps of the method of transmitting a notification when said program is executed by a processor.

The enrichment module 44 can control the analysis module 43 at least in part (for example the anchor analyzer or a predetermined criteria analyzer). FIG. 3b illustrates the case where the enrichment according to the invention is carried out within a navigation terminal 4 connected to the communication terminal 3 for the asynchronous communication 3, the communication terminal 3 controlling the enrichment. The communication terminal 3 of a user of a navigation terminal comprises an asynchronous communication device 30 and an enrichment control device 34 of the navigation information of said navigation terminal 4 as a function of data transmitted during a communication. asynchronous to said communication terminal 3. The communication terminal 3 transmits a rchcomd enrichment instruction to the navigation terminal 4 via a wired connection (USB, Ethernet, etc.) or not (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). In the example of FIG. 3b, the navigation information n is stored either locally in the navigation terminal 4 (in particular in the navigation information database 42) or remotely in a service provider device. navigation 5 (especially in the navigation information database 52).

The navigation terminal 4 comprises at least one reproduction module 41 of navigation information, and an enrichment module 44 of the navigation information, prior to the reproduction of navigation information, as a function of transmitted data c (d) during ascomchronous ascom communication to a group of at least one user. In this case, the enrichment module receives a rchcmd enrichment instruction from the communication terminal, the rchcmd enrichment instruction being a function of data transmitted c (d) during ascomchronous communication ascom. Thus, the navigation information n from the navigation information database 42, 52 first goes into the enhancement module 44 which provides enriched navigation information n * to the reproduction module 41. In particular, navigation navigation information is read into the navigation information database 42, 52 by a local or remote read module 40 (not shown) in a navigation service provider device 5. In particular, the communication terminal 3 comprises an analysis module 33 of the communication data c (d) providing the enrichment control module 34 including d, mssg notification data and / or anchoring data a. The analysis module 33 comprises, for example, one or more of the following analyzers alternately, in parallel, in series or a combination. a data analyzer c (d) of said ascomchronous communication ascom making it possible to determine notification data d with which the navigation information n, n (a) is enriched, a data analyzer c (d) of said asynchronous communication ascom for determining anchoring data used to anchor said RCH enrichment in said navigation information n (a), an extractor of the message MSSG_REC carried by ascomchronous communication ascom to determine the message mssg, also called notification data, with which navigation information n, n (a) is enriched.

In particular, the adaptation device 6 comprises an asynchronous communication interception module 60 capable of intercepting or receiving an asynchronous communication intended for the communication terminal 3 of said at least one user at a predetermined point of the communication network (communication device). communication 2, communication terminal 3). Possibly the interception module 60 having received the asynchronous communication in place of the communication terminal 3, retransmit it to it.

In particular, the communication terminal includes a device for transmitting enrichment commands 34 of the navigation information of said navigation terminal 4 based on data transmitted during asynchronous communication to said communication terminal 3. The enrichment command transmission device 34 receives the rchcmd instructions from the enrichment control device 64 and transmits them to the enrichment module 44 of the navigation terminal when the navigation terminal 4 does not have a remote communication module such as the mobile network. The communication terminal 3 then transmits the rchcomd enrichment instruction to the navigation terminal 4 through a capillary network via a wired link (USB, Ethernet, etc.) or not (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.).

In the example of FIG. 3c, the navigation information n is stored either locally in the navigation terminal 4 (in particular in the navigation information database 42) or remotely in a service provider device. navigation 5 (especially in the navigation information database 52).

The navigation terminal 4 comprises at least one reproduction module 41 of navigation information and, optionally, an enrichment module 44 of the navigation information, prior to the reproduction of navigation information, as a function of transmitted data c ( d) during ascomchronous ascom communication to a group of at least one user. Alternatively, the enhancement module 54 is implemented in the navigation service provider device 5. In this case, the enhancement module 44, 54 receives an enrichment instruction rchcmd from the adaptation device 6 ( possibly via the communication terminal 3), the enrichment instruction rchcmd being a function of data transmitted c (d) during ascomchronous communication ascom.

The enrichment control module 64 may control the analysis module 63 at least in part (for example the anchor analyzer or a predetermined criteria analyzer). FIG. 3d illustrates the case in which the enrichment according to the invention is carried out totally within a navigation service provision device 5 to which a user navigation terminal 4 connected via a communication network is connected, the terminal of which communication 3 is the recipient of ascomchronous communication ascom. In particular, the adaptation device 6 and / or the navigation service provisioning device 5 comprises an asynchronous communication interception module 60, 50 able to intercept or receive an asynchronous communication intended for the communication terminal 3 of said device. least one user at a predetermined point in the communication network (communication device 2, communication terminal 3, adaptation device 6).

The navigation terminal 4 comprises at least one reproduction module 41 of navigation information. Thus, the navigation information n from the navigation information database 52 first goes into the enrichment module 54 which provides enriched navigation information n * to the reproduction module 41. In particular, the information of the navigation information database 52 Navigation navigation is read from the navigation information database 52 by a remote reader module (not shown) in a navigation service provider device 5. Alternatively, the enrichment module 54 allows the information to be entered. of enriched navigations in the database 52, the reading module will read the enriched navigation information in the database and transmit it directly to the reproduction module 41. In particular, the navigation service providing device 5 comprises a module of analysis 53 communication data c (d) providing enrichment module 54 including notification data d, mssg and / or do anchorages a.

The enrichment module 54 may control the analysis module 53 at least in part (for example the anchor analyzer or a predetermined criteria analyzer). FIGS. 4a and 4b illustrate a first use scenario of the invention in which the asynchronous communication is used instantaneously in the navigation information.

FIG. 4a illustrates the case where the message MSSG of an SMS or instant message is directly displayed superimposed on a navigation map n at the time of receiving the message.

FIG. 4b illustrates the case where the asynchronous communication received is analyzed to propose on a superimposed notification data display on a navigation map n at the time of reception of the communication. The notification data may comprise all or part of the message MSSG for example "think bread", and possibly also options such as navigation options to a predetermined list or location (s) depending on the content of the message or location data of the transmitter of the message 1: CH1, 2: CH2. In the case of our "think bread" example, option 1 can offer a bakery CH1 (possibly indicating its distance from the navigation terminal) and option 2 a bakery CH2.In the case of a message such as "join us", option 1 may be a function of the location data of the transmitting terminal and option 2 may correspond to the home address of the user of the transmitting terminal (found in a telephone directory on the Internet, in the contact database of the destination terminal, in the signature of the transmitting terminal, etc.) FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d illustrate a second scenario of use of the invention in which the enrichment is anchored in the navigation information. Thus, the message "turns to church right E" an SMS or an instant message is superimposed on a navigation map n at the time of the part of the navigation map with the church in question (monument symbol on the map), as shown in Figure 5a. In the case of Figure 5b, not only is the message superimposed, but in addition it is integrated with the displayed navigation information: in this case, the navigation arrow has been changed to indicate to turn right after the E. Asynchronous communications may include other data than textual data, such as I-frames that may be superimposed on a navigation map n with the MSSG message as shown in Figure 5c or in place of a POI symbol directly on the map as shown in Figure 5d or punctually in full screen or half-screen for a predetermined duration (not shown).

The value of anchored enrichment is to allow a trader, an association, a family or any other community (temporary or not) to be able to address members located in a particular geographical situation directly on their navigation interface . For example, the merchant signaling a specific promotion to these privileged customers, the promotion may, if requested by the customer, displayed directly on his terminal when he passes close to the trade. In the case of a family or a group of friends making a tourist tour on foot or with several vehicles, the route could have been recorded and transmitted via the communication terminals and possibly personalized by landmarks such as POIs (pool, church, town hall, fountain, school, etc.). Or better, a person could have sent messages during a visit from a region or country to a contact and this contact can later reuse the messages through the invention during his own visit to this region or of this country by integrating them directly into the navigation information reproduced by its navigation terminal.

The invention also relates to a support. The information carrier may be any entity or device capable of storing at least one of the programs according to the invention. For example, the medium may include storage means, such as a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a microelectronic circuit ROM or a magnetic recording means, for example a diskette or a hard disk. On the other hand, the information medium can be a transmissible medium such as an electrical or optical signal that can be conveyed via an electrical or optical cable, by radio or by other means. At least one of the programs according to the invention may in particular be downloaded to a network, particularly of the Internet type. Alternatively, the information carrier may be an integrated circuit in which the program is incorporated, the circuit being adapted to execute or to be used in the execution of the method in question.
