APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL ON NAVIGATION ROUTE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849834 titled 'APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL ON NAVIGATION ROUTE AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus and method for providing estimated time of arrival (ETA) on a navigation route. The apparatus includes a controller and a display.

  • The controller collects the driving speed of a vehicle for each link (segment) in the navigation route.
  • The driving speeds for each link are classified into different groups.
  • A representative speed is determined for each group.
  • The user's past-driving speed for each link is matched with a group.
  • The estimated time of arrival is determined based on the representative speed of the selected group.
  • The display provides the user with the estimated time of arrival.

Potential Applications

  • Navigation systems in vehicles
  • Mobile navigation applications
  • Logistics and delivery services

Problems Solved

  • Inaccurate estimated time of arrival on navigation routes
  • Lack of personalized ETA based on user's driving habits
  • Difficulty in predicting traffic conditions and arrival times

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy of estimated time of arrival
  • Personalized ETA based on user's driving speed
  • Real-time updates on arrival times based on traffic conditions


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are an apparatus for providing estimated time of arrival on a navigation route and a method thereof, in which the apparatus includes a controller that collects a vehicle driving speed for each link included in the navigation route, classifies the vehicle driving speed for each link into a plurality of groups, determines a representative speed for each of the plurality of groups, selects a group matching a user past-driving speed for each link, and determines the estimated time of arrival, based on the representative speed of the selected group, and a display that provides a user with the estimated time of arrival.
