The present invention discloses a method and device for determining position offset information Computer program. In the following description of the various aspects of the invention, various specific details are set forth to provide an understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without a In addition, the structures and devices are well known in the form of block diagrams in order to avoid obscuring the embodiments of the present invention.

While it is described with respect to various embodiments based on location-based display that it is an augmented reality display, it is foreseen that the methods of operation described herein are applicable to any other location-based display, and other location-based displays include, but are not limited to, hybrid Reality display, map display (eg 2D map, 3D map, terrain map, etc.), navigation display, or a combination of the above.

1 is a block diagram of a system for determining position offset information according to an embodiment of the present invention. For service providers and device manufacturers, providing effective navigation and mapping services on a range of user devices (eg, cell phones, computers, navigation devices, etc.) has become a trend. These devices can provide navigation and maps by location-based technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, cellular triangulation, assisted-GPS (assisted-GPS) News. One of the growth trends for these services is to go beyond two-dimensional (2D) maps and provide location services based on three-dimensional (3D) maps or representations of locations and/or paths of points of interest. For example, a modern user device utilizes augmented reality to overlay a picture and text in a video image to depict a building in front of the user, and the overlay image and text in the video image can be, for example, representative of the displayed building. Icon or label. The expression of these buildings, for example Icons, labels, information, etc., can further cover the video image based on the location of the building to provide information about the building. These devices may initially collect preliminary building information, such as by using a camera to generate images, by GPS receivers to calibrate the position of the user device, and through the compass to determine the direction of the device. Based on preliminary information, further information about the building can be collected from the device's data, local databases, service providers, the Internet, and/or any other information available. Additional information may include the name or type of the building, the address, the telephone number, the description of the building, and the services provided. As mentioned above, the information provided to the user is not only the building of the user's surroundings, but also applicable to any location-based features such as user location, other locations, points of interest, roads, terrain types, boundaries, etc. .

However, augmented reality systems rely on information such as from GPS receivers or compasses, which may be inaccurate due to errors in location or orientation. For example, a GPS receiver disposed on a mobile device may only provide positioning accuracy within approximately 20 meters, while a compass within the mobile device may only provide an orientation accuracy of approximately 20 degrees. Therefore, these errors may cause the representation of the image or text to be incorrectly configured and superimposed on, for example, the real world depicted by the display of the mobile device. These inaccuracies will present serious problems for the user, especially when the location features are fairly close, such as two adjacent but differently rated restaurants, borders of multiple neighboring cities, and the like.

In response to this problem, the system 100 of FIG. 1 introduces the ability to specify offset information as a representation based on location features, and then renders these representations based on location based on the offset information. More specifically, system 100 Offset information from, for example, a user can be received. For example, the user can input the offset information into the user device by typing the offset information, for example, by dragging the expression to the correct position based on the position display by using a mouse or a touch screen, or by using some Other similar ways to proceed. The user can input the offset information of each expression one by one, or can select the offset information provided by the user to apply to a set of expressions. This set of expressions may include a representation manually selected by the user, a representation currently visible on the location display, an expression available in the predetermined area, or all representations that are available or generated by the system 100. The notable error therein is in the case of location information (eg, geographic coordinates) of a particular location-based feature (eg, a particular point of interest), and the user may only want to apply offset information to a particular location-based feature. Expression. However, where in the case of a notable error associated with the directed information, and the directed information has a significant impact on the placement of a certain number of representations, the user may wish to apply the offset information to a set of representations (eg, The expressions available in the predetermined area). In addition, the received offset information can be automatically applied to a single representation or a set of representations.

In some embodiments, system 100 can recognize that a user may be returning to a particular location, so that offset information and any other relevant information can be stored for subsequent use. Therefore, the offset information can also be received from the storage. In addition, the offset information can be transmitted to other devices in the area, in which way other devices can utilize this offset information to present other location-based displays. Similarly, offset information can also be received from other devices.

In other embodiments, the location based display may be based on location information and/or targeting information. Therefore, the system 100 can determine the location information and/or Or direct the accuracy information related to the information, and then present the expression based on the accuracy information. In one example, system 100 can determine that the compass used in the user device has an orientation accuracy of +/- 20 degrees, and then present a representation based on this orientation accuracy. In another example, system 100 can utilize other location or orientation information, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, etc., used in user devices to determine accuracy information. In still further embodiments, for example, if the accuracy information is determined to meet a predetermined accuracy threshold, the system 100 can rely entirely or significantly on the data from the sensor to better utilize the offset information to adjust based on the location display. . For example, an accuracy of +/- 20 degrees may be judged to be unable to meet a predetermined accuracy threshold. However, the accuracy of +/- 5 degrees may be judged to be close enough to meet the predetermined accuracy threshold.

More specifically, system 100 can present a location-based display that includes one or more representations of one or more location-based features in the device. These expressions may include icons, tags, information, or any object that can be used to represent location-based features. Location-based features may include features of user location, other locations, points of interest, roads, terrain types, boundaries, or any other single or multiple locations. System 100 can then receive an input to indicate offset information associated with at least one of the one or more representations based on the location display. As previously discussed, the input to indicate the offset information can be received from the user, the device, or the storage accessible to the device, other devices, and the like. Thus, system 100 can present one or more representations in a location-based display based on the offset information.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system 100 includes a user equipment (UE) 101, and the user equipment 101 is connected to the communication network 105. The map platform 103 is connected. The map information can be utilized by the application 107 in the user device 101 (eg, augmented reality application 107, navigation application 107, etc.). The application 107 can also include a correction manager 109 for correcting map information in the location based display generated by the application 107. It should be noted that the correction manager 109 can be included in the user device 101 as shown, or the correction manager 109 can be provided or manipulated by the map platform 103. In addition, the map information may be included in the map database 111, which is associated with the map platform 103 and accessed by the application program 107. In some embodiments, the map information is information that can be utilized by the augmented reality application 107 to provide users with location-based information such as user location, other locations, points of interest, roads, terrain types, boundaries, and the like. relevant information. Map information can also include maps or satellite maps, satellite imagery, point of interest information, street and channel information, terrain information, border information, logo information, etc., as well as buildings related to maps or objects, information about people. And location, information corresponding to such information, etc. or a combination thereof. A point of interest is the location of a particular point by an individual for interest or usefulness. For example, points of interest may be airports, bakeries, landmarks, restaurants, hotels, personal locations, or other locations where individuals may find interest or usefulness, or are significant in some sense. For example, boundaries may include real estate boundaries, private and public recreation areas, schools, roads, buildings, districts, cities, counties/provinces, states, countries, continents, and/or any area with restrictions or boundaries.

In some embodiments, the map information may be related to content information, including content including live media (eg, streaming broadcast), storage media (eg, For example, stored on the Internet or locally), metadata related to the media, text information, location information of other user devices, or a combination thereof. The content may be provided by a service platform 113 that includes one or more services 115a-115n (eg, music services, map services, video services, social networking services, content broadcast services, etc.), one or more content Providers (not shown) (eg, online content retailers, public databases, etc.), other content sources that are available or accessible through the communication network 105. For example, the application 107 can display location-related content information (eg, content related to a point of interest or a specific location) in a location-based display, which can be an additional display or as an alternative point of interest information and/or other map. Display of information.

In one embodiment, the image capture module 117 in the user device 101 can be utilized in conjunction with the augmented reality application 107 to present map information to the user. For example, an augmented reality interface associated with the augmented reality application 107 or the navigation application 107 can be presented to the user, and the augmented reality interface can present map information, content information, etc., based on location display. In a particular embodiment, the user interface can display a mixed physical and virtual environment in which 3D objects from the map database 111 are superimposed and placed on top of a live image or pre-recorded image at a corresponding location, wherein The live image can be captured by a user equipped with a 101 camera, and the pre-recorded image can be a 360° panoramic picture. In other embodiments, the map information and maps provided to the user may be simulated 3D environments instead of live augmented reality displays or as additional displays. Thus, the correction manager 109 can operate in augmented reality based location display, simulated 3D display, and/or other location based display to correct map information presented therein.

As described above, the user device 101 can execute one or more applications 107 to view or access map information. As described above, the map information may include point of interest information, location information, direction or linkage of the location, or a combination thereof. In one example, the default settings allow the user to view points of interest, where the points of interest are related to location, building, or other objects associated with an augmented reality display or 3D environment. In the same use case, the user can point the user equipment 101 to the location-based features (eg, points of interest) in the location-based display to view the corresponding information. More specifically, application 107 (eg, augmented reality application 107) may associate location-based features with geographic coordinates (eg, from satellite 119) based on the determined viewing position. Next, the application 107 can retrieve the information corresponding to the location from the map platform 103 as a representation based on the location display.

In other sample use cases, when the user points the user device 101 to a location-based feature (eg, a point of interest) or to a general direction, the user device 101 can present one or more location-based features in the location-based display. One or more expressions. The locations based on the various representations on the location features are based on the geographic coordinates of each location-based feature in addition to the position, heading reference, and tilt angle of the user equipment 101. As previously stated, the location of each expression may be such that the location of each representation is inaccurate for a variety of reasons, such as location or orientation related errors in the user equipment 101. Therefore, the correction manager 109 can accept the offset information as a representation by, for example, the user. In this example, the user can provide offset information by typing offset information, by dragging the expression (eg, using a mouse or touch screen), or by other similar methods. As discussed above, the user can enter the offset information one by one. As a single expression, or the user may choose to apply the offset information provided by the user as a set of expressions. In addition, the user can input the offset information of each expression one by one, or can select the offset information provided by the user to apply to a set of expressions. .

For example, the communication network 105 of the system 100 includes one or more networks, such as a data network (not shown), a wireless network (not shown), a telephone communication network (not shown), or a combination thereof. . It can be expected that the data network can be any local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN), public data network. Road (e.g., internet), short-range wireless network, or other suitable packet switched network, such as a commercially owned, proprietary packet switched network, such as a proprietary cable or fiber optic network, or the like, or a combination thereof. In addition, the wireless network can be, for example, a mobile network, or can adopt various technologies, including enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE), general packet radio service (GPRS), global mobile. Global system for mobile communications (GSM), IP protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), etc., and any other suitable wireless medium, such as global interworking Worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE), code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code multiple access system (wideband code) Division multiple access, WCDMA), wireless phase Wireless fidelity (WiFi), wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth, IP data broadcasting, satellite, mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), etc. or the above combination.

The user equipment 101 is any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a workstation, a unit, a device, a multimedia computer, a multimedia tablet, a network node, a communication device, a desktop computer, and a notebook type. Computers, tablets, personal communication systems (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio/video players, digital cameras/cameras, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices The game device, or any combination of the above, the user equipment 101 also includes accessories and peripheral equipment or combinations of these devices. It is contemplated that the user device 101 can support any type of user interface (eg, wearable circuitry, etc.).

In another embodiment, the correction manager 109 can store the offset information as well as any other relevant information. This information can be stored in user equipment 101 (eg, cache memory, memory, hard drive, etc.), local database, map database 111, or any other storage device that can be applied over communication network 105. The correction manager 109 may further apply the stored offset information to one or more other location-based displays based on the location information, the location information being substantially the same as or similar to the location information related to the location-based display. Within the range. In the same use case, the user can be a guest to a particular coffee shop every morning. Thus, when the user walks to the coffee shop, the correction manager 109 can recognize that the current location information is substantially the same as the location information previously displayed based on the location or within a predetermined similarity range. Inside. Thus, the correction manager 109 can apply the stored offset information to the current location-based display by, for example, automatically calibrating the user device 101 based on the stored offset information. As a result, when the user walks to the cafe every morning, the user will automatically see, for example, that the daily special price of the cafe accurately covers the coffee shop based on the location display on the user equipment 101.

In another embodiment, the correction manager 109 can communicate offset information to one or more other devices that are installed in the vicinity, wherein the offset information is used to present other location-based displays on other devices. For example, a typical coffee shop may have dozens of guests carrying mobile devices at any time during business hours. When the correction manager 109 receives, for example, offset information from the user, the correction manager 109 will pass the offset information to other user devices 101 in the vicinity of the user's user equipment 101. The correction manager 109 in the other user equipment 101 can then display the configuration of the corrected representation based on the location based on the transmitted offset information.

In another embodiment, the correction manager 109 may retrieve other offset information associated with one or more other devices, collected from one or more other points in time, or a combination thereof. The correction manager 109 can then generate summary offset information based on the offset information, other offset information, or a combination thereof. As provided, the correction manager 109 can retrieve and/or store a set of offset information. For example, offset information and/or other offset information can be combined and averaged to produce summary offset information. In addition, the offset information may be assigned a default value or a user-defined weight, and other offset information may be automatically assigned by the user or various weights, for example, based on other biases. The proximity of the location associated with the information relative to the location associated with the offset information. Next, the correction manager 109 can generate summary offset information based on the given weights from the offset information and/or the other offset information.

In another embodiment, the correction manager 109 can classify the offset information, other offset information, or a combination thereof according to at least one device, a position sensor, a location information source, or a combination thereof. The content of the summary offset information is further classified according to the above. For example, in addition to being relatively close, the correction manager 109 can recognize that certain types of devices have more accurate position sensors than other types of devices, or that a particular position sensor is more accurate than other position sensors. . Based on the above information, different weights may be assigned to the offset information and/or other offset information automatically or by the user. Next, the correction manager 109 can generate summary offset information based on the weights assigned to the offset information and/or other offset information.

For example, user equipment 101, map platform 103, and service platform 113 communicate with one another or with each component or other component of communication network 105 using well-known, new, or developing protocols. In this context, the agreement includes a set of rules that define how the network nodes of the communication network 105 interact based on information transmitted over the communication link. These agreements are valid at different levels of operation in each node, from generating and receiving different types of physical signals, to selecting these signal transmission links, to the information format represented by these signals, to determining what to perform on the computer system. A software application that sends or receives information. The conceptually different hierarchy of protocols used to exchange information over the network is described in the Open Communications System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model.

Communication between network nodes is often affected by the exchange of data for discrete packets. Each package typically contains (1) header information associated with a particular agreement, and (2) information about the payload of the header information, which contains information that can be processed independently of that particular agreement. In some agreements, the package contains (3) following the end of the information on the payload information, which indicates the end of the payload information. Header information includes, for example, the source of the packet, its destination, the length of the payload, and other characteristics used by the agreement. The information in the specific agreement's payload information usually contains a header information and payload information, and this header information and payload information are used as different agreements for different and higher-level open communication system interconnection reference models. . The header information used for a particular agreement usually indicates the type of the next agreement contained in its payload information. The higher-level agreement can be said to be encapsulated in the lower-level agreement. The header information is included in a packet that traverses multiple heterogeneous networks. The heterogeneous network can be the Internet. These header information usually includes physical (first level) header information and data links. Two levels) header information, Internet Road (third level) header information, transmission (fourth level) header information, and various application header information defined by the open communication system interconnection reference model (fifth level, first Six classes, seventh class).

2 is a block diagram of components of calibration management according to an embodiment. For example, the correction manager 109 includes one or more components to provide positional offset information. It is contemplated that the functionality of these components can be achieved by a combination of one or more components or by other functionally equivalent components. In this embodiment, the correction manager 109 includes control logic 201 that performs at least one calculation rule to perform the functions of the correction manager 109. For example, control logic 201 interacts with drawing module 203 To image or display map information (such as point of interest information) on the location display of the user device 101. In an embodiment, the drawing module 203 presents an augmented reality display by instructing the image capturing module 117 in the user equipment 101 to provide a live view of the current location on the user equipment 101 to the user. . The image capture module 117 can include a camera, a video camera, and/or other imaging device. In one embodiment, the visual media system is captured in the form of a single image or a series of images, and the images can be presented in the location-based display by the drawing module 203.

In addition to augmenting the reality display or alternative to augmented reality, the mapping module 203 can utilize non-realistic representations (eg, 3D simulation environments or other imaging maps) as described above in a particular location to provide location based display. For example, the drawing module 203 can obtain map data (for example, a 3D model, a tile, a map image, a terrain feature, etc.) from the map database 111 or the map platform 103 to display the location based display.

After obtaining a basic location-based display (eg, augmented reality display or image map), drawing module 203 retrieves map information (eg, point of interest information) to determine which location-based features are visible in the display. The drawing module 203 can then render the visible representation based on the location based on at least a portion of the map information and/or orientation information. In other words, the drawing module 203 depicts the representation based on the location features such that the representation based on the location features is displayed at a location based on the location display corresponding to its location information and/or orientation information.

Next, the control logic 201 instructs the selection module 205 to receive input from the user equipment 101 and to select the offset information to be received. Expressed by it. For example, this set of representations can be manually selected by the user from a location based display. For example, a user may tap on a set of overlapping or closely-arranged expressions to select a complete set of representations. Moreover, the set of representations can include representations that are currently visible on a location-based display, representations that are available in a predetermined range, or all representations that are available or generated by the correction manager 109.

Further, the control logic 201 operates in conjunction with the comparison module 207 to determine to what extent the offset information should be applied or should be applied. In the same use case, the comparison module 207 can determine, for example, accuracy information related to location information and/or orientation information to meet predetermined accuracy thresholds. As such, the alignment module 207 can suggest reducing the application of the offset information for presentation based representations on the location display. In other sample use cases, the comparison module 207 can determine whether the stored offset information is applied to other location-based displays. For example, when the comparison module 207 determines that the location information based on the location display and the location information related to the stored offset information received based on the location display are substantially the same or within a predetermined similarity range, the stored Offset information.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a component of a user equipment according to an embodiment. For example, user equipment 101 includes one or more components to provide positional offset information. It is contemplated that the functionality of these components can be achieved by a combination of one or more components or by other functionally equivalent components. In this embodiment, the user equipment 101 includes (1) a user interface 301 for presenting a location based display, such as based on a location display, and receiving an input to indicate one or At least one of the plurality of expressions is related to the offset information based on the location display; (2) the map platform interface 303, the map platform interface 303 retrieves the content information and the map information from the map platform 103 and/or the service platform 113; 3) a runtime module 305, the runtime module 305 executes one or more applications (eg, augmented reality application 107, navigation application 107); (4) cache memory 307, cache memory The body 307 stores map information and/or content information locally; (5) the location module 309, the location module 309 determines the location of the user equipment 101; (6) the magnetometer module 311, and the magnetometer module 311 determines The user is equipped with a horizontal orientation or heading orientation of the 101 (for example, compass pointing); (7) an accelerometer module 313, the accelerometer module 313 determines the vertical orientation or elevation angle of the user equipment 101; (8) the image capturing module 117.

The location based display can be presented to the user on the user interface 301 by a variety of communication methods. For example, user interface 301 can have an output that includes a visual component (eg, a screen), an audio component (eg, a verbal indication), a physical component (eg, tactile feedback), and other communication methods, among others. User input can include a touch screen interface, a microphone, a camera, a scrolling and clicking interface, a button interface, and the like. Further, the user can input a request to launch the application 107 (augmented reality application or navigation application), and the user interface 301 can be utilized to receive a location-based display including points of interest and/or map information. Through the user interface 301, the user can request to present different types of content information, map information, or location information. Further, a 3D or augmented reality representation of a specific location and a related object of the partial user interface 301 image (eg, a specific location of the building, terrain type, interest) may be presented on the screen of the user equipment 101. Point, etc.) to the user.

The map platform interface 303 is used to enable the runtime module 305 to communicate with the map platform 103. In some embodiments, the map platform interface 303 is used to obtain content information, map information, and/or location information by the map platform 103, the service platform 113, and/or a content provider (not shown). User equipment 101 can utilize the requirements in the client server format to retrieve map information and content information. In addition, users can indicate location information and/or targeting information in the request to retrieve map information or content information. The position module 309, the magnetometer module 311, the accelerometer module 313, and the image capturing module 117 can be used to determine the position of the user equipment 101 (for example, the viewing position of the user equipment 101). Information and/or targeted information, so that you can retrieve the map information and content information that should be pointed to. Further, the map information and content information can be stored in the cache memory 307 and can be used to correct the location based display in the user equipment 101.

In an embodiment, the location module 309 can determine the location of the user. The location of the user can be determined by triangulation systems such as GPS, A-GPS, Cell of Origin (COO), wireless triangular area networks, or other location inference technologies. Standard GPS and A-GPS systems may utilize satellite 119 to indicate the precise location of user equipment 101 (e.g., longitude, latitude, and altitude). The origin cell system can be used to determine the base station that is synchronized with the mobile user equipment 101. This information provides a location for the user's equipment 101, since the base station has a unique base station identification code that allows it to be geographically marked. The location module 309 can also utilize a variety of techniques to detect the user equipment 101. The GPS coordinates provide better details to the user with 101. As described above, the location module 309 can be used to determine the application 107 and / or location coordinates utilized by the map platform 103.

The magnetometer module 311 can include an instrument that can measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field. Using a method similar to a compass, the magnetometer can utilize the Earth's magnetic field to determine the heading of the user 101. The front of the image capture device (eg, a digital camera) (or other reference point on the user device 101) can be labeled as a reference point for determining the direction. Thus, if the magnetic point is norther than the reference point, the angle from the magnetic point to the reference point of the user equipment 101 can be known. The direction of the user equipment 101 can be determined by simple calculations. In one embodiment, the horizontal direction data obtained by the magnetometer is used to determine the orientation of the user. The direction information may be related to the location information of the user equipment 101 to determine the direction of the user equipment 101 (eg, geographic features, objects, or points of interest). This information can be used to select the first person perspective to present map information and content information based on the location display.

Still further, the accelerometer module 313 can include an instrument that can measure acceleration. The X, Y, and Z triaxial accelerometers are utilized to provide a three-way acceleration with a known angle. Again, the front of the media capture device can be marked as a reference point for determining the direction. Since the gravitational acceleration is known, when the user equipment 101 is stationary, the accelerometer module 313 can be compared to the gravity of the earth to determine the angle pointed by the user equipment 101. In one embodiment, the vertical direction data obtained by the accelerometer is used to determine the elevation or tilt angle of the user equipment 101. Accelerometer information combined with magnetometer information and location information can be used to determine the viewing position to provide user content information and map information. Therefore, this information can be used to select available content items to provide user navigation information. In addition, this combined information can be used to determine which features are of interest to the user. Part of a 3D map or augmented reality scene. In one embodiment, if the location information associated with one or more of the available content items does not correspond to the viewing location (eg, is invisible at the selected viewing location), then one or more indicators (eg, arrows or pointers) Can be displayed on the user interface to indicate the direction of the location of the content item.

In other embodiments, the user can manually input one or more positions, heading directions, and tilt angles to indicate the viewing position and display on the user interface of the user device 101 instead of the viewing position determined by the sensor. . In this method, the user can select a virtual viewing position as a place other than the current location and user pointing 101.

The image used to support the image user interface can be captured by the image capture module 117. The image capture module 117 can include a camera, a video camera, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the visual media system takes the form of a single image or a series of images. The image capturing module 117 can obtain images from the camera and combine the images with position information, magnetometer information, accelerometer information, or a combination thereof. As described above, by combining the user's position, the user's horizontal orientation information, and the user's vertical orientation information, the combination of these information can be used to determine the user's viewing position. This information can be used to retrieve map information and content information from the map cache 307 or the map platform 103. In some embodiments, the cache memory 307 contains all or part of the information in the map database 111.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of a procedure for determining position offset information according to an embodiment. In one embodiment, the correction manager 109 executes the program 400 and is implemented, for example, on a wafer set containing the wafer as shown in FIG. Processor and memory. Accordingly, control logic 201 can provide means to implement various portions of program 400, as well as implement other programs that incorporate other components in correction manager 109.

In step 401, control logic 201 determines to present a location-based display on the device, the location-based display including one or more representations based on one or more location features. The one or more location-based features may include user location, other location, point of interest, road, terrain type, boundary, or any other location feature. In an embodiment, the location based display may be presented based on location information associated with the device, targeting information, or a combination thereof. For example, the location based display may include images captured by the device or visible images on the viewfinder of the device.

In step 403, the control logic 201 can verify whether the accuracy information related to the location information, the orientation information, or the combination of the above has been determined. If the accuracy information has not been determined, control logic 201 may, in step 405, retrieve an input to indicate offset information associated with at least one of the one or more representations based on the location display. As discussed previously, this input can be received from a variety of sources, including from the user, in the device or in a device accessible to the device, from other devices, and the like. In one embodiment, the input is provided to act as at least one of the one or more expressions. The user can provide an input to indicate the offset information, for example, by dragging one of them to the correct location based on the location display range. Control logic 201 may next, in step 407, determine at least in part based on the offset information to present one or more representations in the location based display.

However, if the logic control 201 can confirm the accuracy information has been decided Then, the logic control 201 may next determine, in step 409, whether the accuracy information meets the predetermined accuracy threshold. In the same example of use, the user equipment 101 utilizes a quantity measuring component, such as a compass, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, etc., which can be initially determined to have an accuracy of +/- 20 degrees. Thus, control logic 201 can determine that the predetermined accuracy threshold has not been met. However, if the accuracy of the directional measurement component is later determined to be +/- 5 degrees, the control logic 201 can determine that the accuracy has met the accuracy threshold. For example, the user may be in a particular area with a large amount of ferrous metal, and the accuracy of the directional measurement component may be improved when the user is away from the area. In other sample use cases, the user may walk through an area that does not have too much wireless interference or signal blocking, in which case the GPS receiver utilized by the user equipment 101 may be initially determined to have +/- With a precision of 5 degrees, it can meet the predetermined accuracy threshold. When the user enters a city or passes through a bridge, the GPS receiver may be judged to have an accuracy of +/- 20 meters, which may not be accurate enough to meet the predetermined accuracy threshold.

When control logic 201 determines that the predetermined accuracy threshold has been met, control logic 201 may, as in program 411, determine an application to reduce the offset information to present one or more representations. Therefore, the offset information may not be used to adjust to one or more representations based on the location display range.

Figure 5 is a flow diagram of a program for storing offset information in accordance with an embodiment. In one embodiment, the correction manager 109 executes the program 500 and is implemented, for example, on a wafer set containing the processor and memory as shown in FIG. Therefore, the control logic 201 can provide means to The various parts of step 500 are now implemented, as well as other programs that implement other components in the correction manager 109.

In step 501, control logic 201 determines the offset information. As previously mentioned, the offset information can be stored in the user device 101 (eg, cache memory, memory, hard drive, etc.), local database, map database 111, or any other via communication network 105. Storage device.

Before deciding to apply the stored offset information to the other one or more other location-based displays, the control logic 201 may determine, in step 503, whether the location information associated with the one or more other location-based displays is and based on the location display. The location information associated with the stored offset information is substantially the same or within a predetermined similarity range. When the control logic 201 determines that, for example, the location information associated with one or more other location-based displays is not substantially the same or within a predetermined similarity range, the stored offset information cannot be applied to one or more other location-based displays. In this same use case, the user may have recently shopped at a grocery store in a particular shopping mall. Although the user returns to the shopping center after a period of time (for example, reading at the coffee shop at the other end of the shopping mall), the control logic 201 will determine that the user is returning to the shopping mall, which is not substantially the same as the location of the grocery store or Not within a predetermined similarity range. Thus, in this embodiment, the stored offset information may not be applicable to the location-based display that presents the user back to the shopping mall.

However, if the one or more other offset information is determined to be substantially the same or within a predetermined similarity range, the control logic 201 may apply the stored offset information to one or more other based Position display Presentation.

Figure 6 is a flow chart showing the procedure for determining the approximate position in accordance with an embodiment. In one embodiment, the correction manager 109 executes the program 600 and is implemented, for example, on a wafer set containing the processor and memory as shown in FIG. Accordingly, control logic 201 can provide means to implement various portions of program 600, as well as implement other programs that incorporate other components in correction manager 109.

In step 601, control logic 201 receives an input to indicate a general location or location of user equipment 101 or a user using the user equipment 101. In one embodiment, the approximate location that has been designated may be used as a starting point for navigation services, map services, or other location based services.

For example, if the initial position fix (eg, GPS positioning) based on the sensor is delayed or otherwise unavailable, the user can still manually indicate the approximate location to initiate the service. As noted above, this input can be received from a variety of sources, such as from a user, a device, or a device accessible to the device, from other devices, and the like. The received input can be used to indicate the approximate location of the user, the approximate location and starting location of other users, and the like. In one embodiment, the offset information thus entered may also indicate or otherwise indicate the approximate location of the user device 101 or the user. For example, the user can provide this input by moving at least one representation. Therefore, the user can drag the expression of the user's position to an appropriate place based on the position display range. Similarly, the expression of the user dragging the location (eg, dragging only the map hierarchy) may cause the user's location to end in an appropriate location based on the location display range. In addition, the user can provide this by many other methods. Input, the method includes indicating an approximate location (eg, clicking or tapping at a specific location) based on the location display range, inputting an address of the specific location, and capturing an image of the surroundings of the user (eg, the user-equipped 101 camera module Take a photo) and indicate a specific location, etc.

In step 603, the control logic 201 can determine whether the location information is available by, for example, a GPS receiver in the user equipment 101. If the control logic 201 determines that the location information is invalid, the control logic 201 may present the representation in the location based display based on the received input as in step 605.

However, if the control logic determines that the location information is valid, the control logic 201 may determine whether to utilize the location information as in step 607. In the same use case, the control logic 201 may cause the user equipment 101 to prompt the user to determine whether to utilize the location information provided by the user, by the GPS receiver, or both, for presentation in the location based display. The received input provided by the device. For example, if the user decides to use two pieces of information such as input and location information that has been received, the control logic 201 can present the received input and location information as different representations and display them on the location-based display. Different representations can be used. The GPS position information represented by the received input and the red dot is indicated by the pink dot.

In other sample use cases, the determination of whether to utilize location information may be made based on whether the location information provided by the GPS receiver satisfies a predetermined accuracy threshold. If the control logic 201 determines that the location information is not applicable (e.g., the predetermined accuracy threshold cannot be met), then the representation based on the representation on the location display is based on the input received by the user. In addition, as mentioned, location information can replace the received information provided by the user. This input or as an additional input is presented based on the representation on the location display.

7A through 7D are schematic diagrams showing a user interface for use in the program of FIG. 4 in accordance with various embodiments. In particular, Figures 7A through 7D are augmented reality displays that utilize a star icon on the user interface and are indicative of location-based feature examples within a range of viewing locations (e.g., points of interest). Since the user interface is displayed in augmented reality, the images displayed on the map are live reality images, such as town squares.

Figure 7A depicts a user interface with three star icons (e.g., representation 701, representation 703, and representation 705) representing three different points of interest. In this embodiment, the representation 701, the expression 703, and the representation 705 present at least one of the location information and/or the horizontal orientation information, and are accurately superimposed on the location display of the town square. However, the vertical orientation (e.g., height) is clearly inaccurate. For example, the expression 701 and the expression 705 appear in the middle of the first floor and the second floor, and the expression 703 appears in the middle of the second floor and the roof of the building.

FIG. 7B illustrates a user interface having six star icons (eg, representation 711, representation 713, representation 715, representation 717, representation 719, and representation 721) and a palm symbol 723. As shown in the figure, the three star icons (for example, the expression 711, the expression 713, and the expression 715) indicated by the broken lines indicate the place where the original expression 701, the expression 703, and the expression 705 are located, and the three lines indicated by the solid line. The star icon (for example, the expression 717, the description 719, and the expression 721) is a place where the original expression 701, the expression 703, and the expression 705 are moved. The palm symbol 723 clarifies the ability to provide offset information by dragging the correct position within the location-based display range of the town square. Implemented here In an example, the user can move or drag one of the expressions (eg, representation 721 (or the original representation 705)) to provide an input to indicate the offset information as all representations within the location-based display range.

Figure 7C depicts a user interface having three star icons (e.g., representation 731, representation 733, and expression 735) and three labels (e.g., representation 737, representation 739, and representation 741). As shown, the tag contains the name of the point of interest (or the type of point of interest) along the distance of the user, and the tag is superimposed directly below the star icon. In this embodiment, the movement or dragging of one of the star icons is previously provided with offset information for the visible and generated representations (eg, representation 731, representation 733, and representation 735), as well as providing bias to the user. The expression of the information is invisible and not produced.

The 7D diagram depicts a fully visible star icon (eg, representation 751) and a summary (eg, statement 753) that provides information about a particular point of interest (eg, a hotel). In this embodiment, the abstract can be presented automatically or by user action (eg, clicking or tapping on a particular star icon).

Figure 8 is a schematic illustration of a user interface for use in a program as depicted in Figure 5, in accordance with an embodiment. In particular, Figure 8 provides an example of a user interface utilizing a navigation display (e.g., user interfaces 800, 810, 820, 830, 840, 850, 860, and 870). For example, the user interface 800 provides the user with options including "location", "path", "find", "favorite", "set", and "cancel". In this example, when the user has selected the "Path" option, this option will cause the user interface 810 to render.

The user interface 810 provides the user with options including "starting location", "destination", "add destination", "start navigation" and "cancel". In this example, the "starting position" and "destination" (such as the last known starting position or destination) can be preset. In this way, the user can immediately select "Start Navigation". However, the user can also view, modify or confirm the starting position or destination by selecting "starting position", "destination". In this example, when the user has selected the "Home Position" option, this option will cause the user interface 820 to render.

The user interface 820 provides the user with options including "My Location", "Location", "Address", "Favorite", and "Cancel". In this example, when the user selects the "My Location" option, this option allows the user to update the user's location or use the user's last known location. As illustrated by user interface 830, the user selects "Update Now" instead of "Use Known Location."

As mentioned previously, the user can provide a starting location (eg, "my location") by a number of methods. As shown, the user interface 840 illustrates that the user can provide a starting location by "adjusting on the map", "enter address" or "photographing". In this example, the user has chosen to adjust the starting position on the map to provide the starting position. Thus, the user interface 850 can display the user's starting position on the map by the label "A". The user's starting position is displayed at 123 Rust Road, which is the user's last known location. Refer to the enlarged version of the map, meaning that the user has clicked on the magnifying glass icon with the "+" symbol.

In response to the user clicking on the "+" symbol, the user The interface 860 displays a map with the starting position of the label "A" and is an enlarged version of the map. As discussed above, the user can adjust the starting position by a number of methods (eg, moving at least one representation, clicking on a location on the map) by dragging the user's starting position of the label "A", dragging the map hierarchy, or clicking The location on the map. In this example, the user has chosen to drag the map hierarchy to adjust the user's starting position on the map. Thus, as shown by user interface 870, the user's starting position has been corrected to 456 Nalu (transliteration). Thereafter, the user selects "Completed" to begin further navigation.

Figure 9 illustrates an embodiment of a computer system 900 that can be implemented in accordance with the present invention. Although computer system 900 is depicted as being associated with a particular device or device, it is contemplated that other devices or devices (eg, network elements, servers, etc.) within the scope of FIG. 9 may be subordinate to system 900.

The computer system 900 is operative (eg, via computer code or instructions) to determine the positional offset information described herein, and includes a communication mechanism for the bus 910 to communicate information between internal and external components of other computer systems 900. Information (also known as data) is expressed as a measurable physical phenomenon, usually a voltage. In other embodiments, this physical phenomenon can also be magnetic, electromagnetic, pressure, chemical, biological, molecular, atomic, subatomic, and Quantum interactions. For example, north-south magnetic fields, zero-voltage or non-zero voltages appear as binary bits (0, 1) in two states. Other phenomena can represent bits with a higher cardinality. The superposition of multiple simultaneous quantum states before measurement can be expressed as a qubit. A digital data consisting of one or more sequence of bits can be used to represent a number or code of a character.

This set of operations typically involves comparing two or more information elements, transferring the location of the information unit, and as if by addition or multiplication, or by logical operations such as "OR", "mutual exclusion or (XOR)" and " AND (AND) to combine two or more information units. The set of operations that can be performed by the processor is represented by information called instructions to represent the processor, and the information of the instructions can be one or more bit opcodes. This sequence of operations can be performed by the processor, such as this operational sequence code, which constitutes processor instructions (also referred to as computer system instructions, or more simply computer instructions). The processor can be implemented individually or in combination by mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical or quantum components.

The memory 904 can be, for example, a random access memory (RAM) or any other dynamic storage device, and the memory 904 can store information including processor instructions that determine positional offset information. The dynamic memory allows information to be stored therein, and the information can be converted by the computer system 900. Random access memory (RAM) allows information units to be stored at locations known as storable memory addresses, and information located at adjacent addresses can be retrieved separately. Memory 904 can also be used by processor 902 to store temporary values during execution of processor instructions. Computer system 900 also includes a read only memory (ROM) 906 or any other static storage device coupled to bus 910 that includes instructions that cannot be converted by computer system 900. Some memory systems consist of electrical storage. When power is lost, the information stored on it will disappear. The device coupled to the bus 910 is a non-electrical (continuous) storage device 908, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk or flash memory card, for storing information containing instructions that remain even if the computer system 900 is turned off or powered off. .

In general, the coupling is connected to the network by 978, and the network connection 978 is connected to the local network 980, that is, to an external device having its own processor. For example, the communication interface 970 can be a parallel, serial or universal serial connection (USB) port on a personal computer. In some embodiments, the communication interface 970 is an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card, a digital subscriber line (DSL) card, or a communication connection providing a corresponding type of telephone line. Information telephone data machine. In some embodiments, the communication interface 970 is a cable modem that converts signals on the bus 910 to a communication connection through a coaxial cable or through a fiber optic cable to convert an optical signal to a communication connection. As with other examples, the communication interface 970 can be a local area network card to provide communication connection data to a compatible local area network, such as an Ethernet network. Wireless connections may also be implemented. For wireless connections, the communication interface 970 transmits or receives or transmits and receives electrical, acoustic or electromagnetic signals, including infrared or optical signals that carry information streams such as digital data.

In some embodiments, the communication interface 970 can be coupled to the communication network 105 to determine location offset information for the user equipment 101.

The "computer readable storage medium" referred to herein refers to any storage medium to participate in providing information to the processor 902, and the information provided includes execution instructions. The storage medium can take many forms, including but not limited to computer readable storage media (eg, non-electrical media, power-based media), and transmission media. Non-transitory media, such as non-electrical media, may include, for example, optical or magnetic disks such as storage device 908. The electrical medium includes, for example, dynamic memory 904.
