Description of the Invention: [Technical Field to Be Invented] The present application generally relates to a navigation method and apparatus. In particular, the embodiments relate to a portable navigation device and an in-vehicle navigation device that are capable of acquiring and displaying driving conditions. Other embodiments are more generally directed to any type of processing device that can be configured to execute navigation software to provide route planning functionality, road condition functionality, and preferably navigation functionality. [Prior Art] Portable navigation devices (PNDs) including GPS (Global Positioning System) signal receiving and processing functions are well known and widely used in transportation vehicles or other devices. In recent years, many customers have provided a variety of devices and systems to enable them to use the GPSk number to receive and process functional decisions on a digital map. The various devices and systems used by the customer are in the form of a navigation system within the vehicle that enables the driver to navigate the street and on the road; and a handheld device that can generate a map showing the information of the road device, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), Personal navigation devices (pNDs) and mobile phones or other types of mobile devices. These navigations often provide visual and/or map information, ie road conditions, during navigation along the calculated route or when displayed on the map. This information can be updated periodically on the screen so that the displayed map information indicates the location of the location and thus the current location of the user or user's vehicle (if the device is being used for navigation within the vehicle) . ▲ The user is not familiar with the route, map area or road that he is about to be navigated to. 145707.doc 201122432 Road conditions ‘Navigation device has great effect. The situation is mainly based on fixed sensors on the road. However, these fixed sensors may require high maintenance costs to keep them operational. The judgment table of the road condition and driving condition of the specific section: 'There is an accurate road condition. However, this may not always be the case. The status of the road, the road conditions and the driving conditions are based solely on the extrapolation data from the temperature sensor and the precipitation sensor. In particular, the self-temperature sensor and precipitation sensor can only give a limited estimate of the possible slippage of the road. In addition to fixed road sensors, special road survey vehicles can be used to obtain road condition data or driving status data. However, special road measurement π cars can be very muted, time-consuming, and cannot provide a large data range. Size, and may not provide current road conditions. In addition, road conditions obtained by special road survey vehicles or extrapolated from the fixed sensor 可能 may include unnecessary or inappropriate descriptions of the road conditions of a particular road segment. Some users may only need to know that other vehicles have slipped or braked on a particular road segment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the V-additional method, a method is used that uses a server to receive a driving condition from at least one navigation device that accommodates at least a navigation path that the vehicle is traveling on. Such driving conditions may be at least partially based on at least (4) a speed of the vehicle - a speed and a time stamp at the "first" position of the wheel. The method can further include screening the driving conditions of the received 145707.doc 201122432 to generate filtered information and broadcasting the filtered data to at least one other navigation device. Another embodiment may include a server including a processor configurable to receive driving from at least one navigation device to accommodate a section of the at least one navigation device on which the vehicle can travel In the condition, the driving conditions are based, at least in part, on a speed and a time stamp of the at least one wheel of the vehicle at a first position. The processor can also be configured to screen driving data received by the company to generate filtered data and to broadcast the filtered data to at least one other navigation device.

It is also noted that the software implementations of the example embodiments are typically encoded on some form of computer readable medium or implemented on a particular type of transmission medium. The computer readable medium can be magnetic (eg, a flexible disk or hard drive) or optical (eg, compact disk read only memory, or "CD R〇M"), and can be read only or random access of. Similarly, the transmission medium can be a twisted pair cable, a coaxial cable, an optical fiber, or some other suitable transmission medium known in the art. 145707.doc 201122432 Example embodiments are not limited by these aspects of any given implementation. Example embodiments will now be described with particular reference to a portable navigation device (PND). It should be understood that the teachings of the present invention are not limited to shaving, but are generally applicable to any type of processing device configured to display a map. Thus, it can be seen that, in the context of the present application, a map display device is intended to include, without limitation, any type of gauge drum/or navigation device, whether the device is embodied as a PND or built into a vehicle. The navigation device is actually embodied as a computing resource (such as a desktop or portable personal computer (PC), a mobile phone or a portable digital assistant (pDA)) that displays a map. It will also be apparent from the following that the teachings of the present invention are effective even when the user does not seek a view of how to self-feed to another point and only want to have a view of a given position. In these cases, the "destination" location selected by the user does not need to have the corresponding starting position from which the user wants to start navigation, and because of &, the "destination" position in this article or actually " The reference to "destination" _ should not be interpreted as meaning that the generation of the route is necessary, and travel to the "destination" must occur, or indeed, the existence of the destination needs to specify the corresponding starting position. The pictogram illustrates an example of a global positioning system (Gps) that can be used by a navigation device. The navigation device includes a navigation device in accordance with an example embodiment. These systems are used for a variety of purposes. In general, Gps is a satellite radio based navigation system that is capable of determining continuous position, speed, time and, in some cases, direction information for an unlimited number of users. The GPS, formerly known as NAVSTAR, incorporates a plurality of satellites that work in a very precise orbit. Based on these precise orbits, (10) Satellite U5707.doc • 10. 201122432 can relay its position to any number of receiving units. / Tian Hao is equipped with a GPS system that is equipped with a device that receives GPS data to start scanning RF signals for GPS satellite signals. After receiving the • Radio # number from the satellite, the device determines the exact location of the read satellite via a plurality of different conventional methods. In most cases, the device will continue to scan the L number until it has acquired at least three different satellite signals (main %, other two-point measurement techniques can be used to determine the ❹ position by only two signals). When performing geometric triangulation, the receiver uses three known locations to determine its own two-dimensional position relative to the satellite. The two-dimensional position can be determined by entering the light in a known manner. In addition, acquiring the fourth satellite signal will allow the receiving device to calculate the three-dimensional position of the receiver in a known manner by homo-geometric calculation. The position and speed data can be continuously updated in real time by an unlimited number of users. Figure 1 illustrates a GPS system. A plurality of satellites 12 are in orbit around the Earth 124. The orbit of each satellite 120 may not be synchronized with the orbits of other satellites' and may in fact be out of sync. GPS receiver 140, which may be used in a navigation device in accordance with an example embodiment, is shown receiving a spread spectrum GPS satellite signal 160 from various satellites. - The spread spectrum signal 160 can be continuously transmitted from each satellite 120 to take advantage of the accurate frequency standards achieved with extremely accurate atomic clocks. Each satellite 12 发射 transmits a "bee stream indicating that particular satellite 120 as part of its data signal transmission. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the GPS receiver 14 typically acquires the spread spectrum GPS satellite signal 16 from at least two satellites 120 for use by the GPS receiver 140 to calculate its two dimensional position by triangulation. Additional information 145707.doc • 11 - 201122432 acquisition (which caused a signal from a total of four satellites i 2〇 16〇) permits the GPS receiver 140 to calculate its three-dimensional position in a known manner. 2 illustrates a block diagram of a navigation device 2A, in accordance with an example embodiment. It should be noted that the block diagram of the navigation device 200 does not include all of the components of the navigation device and only represents a number of example components. The navigation device 200 includes a processor 210 coupled to an input device 22 and a display screen 240. Input device 22A can include a keyboard device, a language input device, and/or any other known input device for inputting information; and display screen 240 can include any type of display screen, such as a ❹ LCD display. In at least one example embodiment, the input device 22 and the display screen 240 are integrated into an integrated input and display device.

The figure illustrates an example embodiment of a navigation device 200 in communication with one of the computers 670 in a vehicle. The navigation device 2A can have a processor 21 that can be configured to determine a driving condition of a road segment in which the transportation device of the navigation device 2 can be accommodated. The driving conditions may be determined based at least in part on a speed of at least one of the wheels of the vehicle at a first location. Additionally, at least one of the wheels of the vehicle may have a sensor. The sensors on the wheel may include, for example, an automatic shutoff system sensor 600, an accelerometer/gyrometer sensor 6A, a tire pressure sensor 620, an electronic stability program sensor 63, or possibly Any other sensor capable of acquiring data, such as a vehicle speed sensor, a cut-off assist sensor, an optical sensor, a rain sensor, a weather sensor, or a traction control sensor. The sensor can acquire data when at least one of the sensors is triggered, for example, by a dangerous road condition. The triggered sensor processes Q (in 64〇3) and measures (in 64叽) the data, and then one of the computers in the transport tool can access the data from the sensor. The sensor can process the data by verifying, for example, that the sensor has acquired data, and the sensor can measure the data value using, for example, a digital indicator. "Hai Transportation Tool Computer 670 can perform stability corrections on the vehicle based on at least the processed and measured data. The computer of the vehicle can also communicate with a dashboard display 660 (eg, for a navigation device within a vehicle) and can display a warning signal corresponding to the triggered sensor on the dashboard display 660 (or For example, on the display of pnd 200). 145707.doc • 23· 201122432 The computer 670 of the wheel tool can communicate with the navigation device 200 (e.g., in a vehicle or pND) via a communication channel 680. The communication channel can include, but is not limited to, any wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth. Alternatively, the navigation device 2 (in the transport or pND) can be directly connected to the electric moon 670 in the transport. The computer 220 in the transport can be from a sensor (such as the automatic cut off system sense) The processed and measured data of the detector 6 is transmitted to the navigation device 200. The navigation device 200 can receive the information transmitted from the computer 67 in the vehicle, and one of the navigation devices 200, 210, may be able to determine the location at which the sensor in the vehicle is triggered. The location at which the sensor in the vehicle is triggered can be determined based on the receipt of the Gps signal or any other clamp signal. _ When the field navigation device 200 receives the data transmitted from the computer 67〇 in the vehicle, the navigation device 2 can associate the time stamp with the location of the vehicle and the time at which the navigation device 200 receives the data. It may include the time and/or date when the navigation device 2 GG receives the data from the transportation: computer 7 7 Q. As mentioned above in FIG. 2, the navigation device 2 can use a mobile phone connection to establish a tcp/ip connection based on the navigation device 2〇〇 with the Internet, any other network, and/or establish a The connection of the server 3〇2. The navigation device 200 can be used to output the driving status determined by Hai et al. to the server 3〇2 using a mobile phone connection or any other connection. The exported driving status data can be immediately output to the server. 3〇 2. 145707.doc -24· 201122432 An example embodiment of the present application is directed to a server 302 including a processor 3 ' 4 'the processor 3 〇 4 can be configured to be at least one guide The device 200 receives a driving condition that accommodates a section of the navigation device 200 on which the vehicle is traveling. At least in part based on at least one speed of the vehicle at a location of the vehicle and the time stamp The driving conditions received by the server 3 〇 2 are determined. The location of the vehicle can be determined based on GPS reception or any position determining device/method.

Figure 7 illustrates at least a navigation device 200 in communication with a server 〇2, according to an example embodiment. As mentioned above in Figure 2, the plural The navigation device _ 7〇〇a_C can be in communication with the server 302. The plurality of navigation devices can communicate with the server 〇2 via a communication channel similar to the communication channel 318. The server 302 can be from at least one navigation device 7〇〇ac receives the driving condition data. The received driving, late status data includes the time stamp and the position of the sensor in the transporter to trigger the driving condition. The server 3〇2 can A database is created based at least in part on the location of the received driving condition data, the type of sensed device (4), and the time stamp to create a database. The server 3〇2 can be based, at least in part, on The received driving condition data is further filtered by the number of navigation devices that transmit the road condition data to the server 3〇2 at a given position. Based on the filtered data, the server 302 can determine the driving condition of the road section. For example, 'if there are multiple navigation devices 7〇〇a_c in the launching hard-stated data (which indicates that similar sensors in a plurality of vehicles are touched on the same road 145707.doc -25· 201122432 The server 302 can infer that there is a dangerous driving condition at the particular road segment. In another embodiment, the server 302 can be triggered based at least in part on the time stamp and the sensor in the vehicle is triggered. The location of the location determines the driving situation at the particular road segment. As described above, the time stamp can be the time at which the navigation device 700a-c receives the road condition data from the computer 670 in the vehicle. Using the time stamp, the server 302 It can be determined how many vehicles have a sensor that is triggered when crossing a particular road segment over a period of time. If a plurality of vehicles have a sensor that is triggered when crossing a particular road segment during a period of time' The reason why the server 3〇2 can determine that the sensor is triggered is likely to be a dangerous driving condition on the road section. Using the timestamp, the server 302 can determine whether the dangerous driving condition on the particular road segment is temporary or fixed. The server 302 can determine if the dangerous driving condition on a particular road segment is fixed. If a plurality of vehicles continuously report data indicative of dangerous driving conditions via the navigation device 7〇Oa-c for a long period of time, the server 302 can determine that there is a likely dangerous driving condition. This is due to the fact that if there is a fixed dangerous driving & condition, the large transporting aid of the Bay 1 through a particular road & is likely to have a sensor-like sensor triggered by a dangerous driving situation. Examples of dangerous driving conditions for solids can be potholes, sharp turns, and blocked fields of view. The server 302 can also determine whether the dangerous driver on a particular road segment (4) captures the dangerous driving condition data at the special road section from a plurality of navigation devices in a short period of time, and if 145707.doc 201122432 The server 302 typically receives only the minimum driving condition data at a particular road segment, and the server 302 can determine that the dangerous driving conditions are likely to be temporary. This is due to the fact that if the dangerous driving situation is fixed, then multiple vehicles crossing the - specific road segment are likely to have often triggered triggers. Temporary dangerous driving conditions can be examples of water, sunlight, etc. Drivers of transportation vehicles cannot see, ice, fog, traffic accidents, etc. Therefore, if the server 302 continuously receives driving situation data about a particular road section from the navigation device 7A_c, the server 3〇2 can determine that the road is likely to have a fixed dangerous driving condition. Alternatively, if the server 3〇2 receives the driving condition data of a special road section in a short time ♦, the specific road section may contain a temporary dangerous driving condition. - The server 302 can determine the cause of the dangerous driving condition based on the type of sensor being triggered in the vehicle. If the server 3〇2 receives driving situation data at a specific road section from a plurality of navigation devices 700a-c (the data may contain an indication that a similar sensor has been triggered in each of the vehicles), then the server 302 may be able to determine the type of dangerous driving situation. Server 302 may be able to infer the type of dangerous driving condition based on the indicator sensors. For example, if the server 3〇2 receives the driving condition data at a specific road section from the plurality of navigation devices 7〇〇a_c (the data indicates that the tire pressure sensor in the transportation vehicle has been activated while crossing the specific road section) ), there may be pits or other defects in this particular road segment. This can be attributed to the fact that when the vehicle travels through the pothole, it is necessary to activate the tire pressure sensor in the vehicle to maintain stability. The server 〇2 can broadcast the determined data to a plurality of or at least one other 145707.doc • 27· 201122432 navigation devices 700a-c. Server 302 may broadcast the determined material via publications on the website, via email, or via any other broadcast channel. The server 〇2 can broadcast the determined data in an agreement, and at least one of the navigation devices 700a-c can translate the data into symbols by the agreement. At least one of the navigation devices 70A-c can use the threshold to translate the data into symbols. These thresholds determine the severity of the driving situation. The symbol indicating the type of dangerous road condition on at least one of the road segments can be displayed on the display of at least one of the navigation devices 7a-c. Such symbols may include pictures of non-hazardous weather, sharp turns, poor road quality or any other symbol that may assist the user of the navigation device. A symbol indicating the severity of the driving condition may also be displayed on the display of at least one of the navigation devices 7a-c, which may be symbols indicating light snow, medium snow or heavy snow. As indicated above in Figure 2, the navigation device 7a-c may be capable of communicating with the server 3〇2 via the communication channel 318. At least one of the navigation devices 70A-c can receive the broadcasted road condition data at at least a second location. The navigation device 7A-c can receive the broadcasted driving condition data and can display the broadcasted material on the display device 240 of the navigation device.
