| 20110109737 | NAVIGATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECORDING IMAGE DATA - A navigation apparatus includes an image recording device for recording image data and a processing resource configured to receive an incident signal indicative of the occurrence of an incident and to perform an image data processing operation in response to the incident signal. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110118965 | NAVIGATION DEVICE & METHOD - A digital processing apparatus is disclosed for processing live traffic information in order to predict future evolution of the live traffic information. The apparatus includes, in at least one embodiment, a processing resource configured to: receive an item of live traffic information representing a traffic journey-time delay, at a respective time of incidence; store information indicating the journey-time delay and the respective time in a memory, to create a history of variation of the respective journey-time delay with respect to incidence time; and determine from the history at least one characteristic of the journey-time delay indicative of predicted evolution into the future of the journey-time delay from time of incidence of a most recent item of live traffic information. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110131243 | DATA ACQUISITION APPARATUS, DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ACQUIRING DATA - A data acquisition apparatus includes a processing resource operably coupled to an input unit and an output unit. The processing resource is arranged to provide an execution environment for supporting a user interface. An enquiry module is provided and supported by the execution environment. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus also includes a communications unit operably coupled to the processing resource for supporting communications over a communications network. The enquiry module is arranged to generate a search query relating to a point of interest and receive search results in response thereto via the communications unit, the enquiry module also being arranged to use the search results to derive data associated with the point of interest. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110153185 | NAVIGATION DEVICE AND METHOD - A navigation device is disclosed which is operable to generate an output indication representing whether or not journey conditions are favourable. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a processing resource configured to: calculate for a navigation route, expected journey time information indicating an expected time duration for completing the route; compare the expected journey time with an average journey time for the route; and generate, responsive to the result of said comparison, said output indication representing whether or not journey conditions are favourable. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110178698 | NAVIGATION DEVICE & METHOD - A navigation device is disclosed which is operable to generate an output indication representing whether or not journey conditions are favourable. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a processing resource configured to: determine first journey time information for traversing at least one segment of a navigation route at a first predetermined time; determine second journey time information for traversing the one segment of the navigation route at a second predetermined time different from the first predetermined time; determine from the first and second journey time information a journey time parameter representative of an evolution characteristic of journey time; and generate, responsive to the journey time parameter, the output indication representing whether or not journey conditions are favourable. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110178703 | NAVIGATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A navigation apparatus includes an input device for receiving time data representative of a user return time by when a user is to return to a parked vehicle, and a processor configured to monitor the time remaining until the user return time and to provide an alarm signal in dependence on the time remaining. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110224901 | NAVIGATION APPARATUS USED IN-VEHICLE - A navigation apparatus includes a processing resource that is operably coupled to a data store including digital map data. A location determination unit is also provided and capable of determining a location. In at least one embodiment, the navigation apparatus receives information from at least a vehicle: steering sensor for sensing an angular position of the vehicle steering control. Information relating to the sensed parameters is logged by the navigation apparatus while driving. Upon subsequent uploading of the information to a server, the information is analysed statistically, and combined with similar information obtained from other navigation devices. The statistical analysis enables supplementary road information to be derived, such as road lane width; Such supplementary road information is added to the digital map to facilitate greater safety awareness and route planning. | 09-15-2011 |
