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 on a navigation route. The apparatus includes a controller and a display.

  • The controller collects the driving speed of a vehicle for each link on the navigation route.
  • The driving speeds are classified into different groups.
  • A representative speed is determined for each group.
  • The user's past-driving speed is matched with a group for each link.
  • 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

This technology can be applied in various navigation systems and applications, including:

  • In-car navigation systems
  • Mobile navigation applications
  • Fleet management systems
  • Delivery and logistics services

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Inaccurate estimated time of arrival due to varying driving speeds on different road links.
  • Lack of personalized estimated time of arrival based on the user's past-driving speed.
  • Difficulty in determining the representative speed for each group of driving speeds.

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved accuracy of estimated time of arrival on a navigation route.
  • Personalized estimated time of arrival based on the user's past-driving speed.
  • Enhanced user experience and convenience in planning travel time.
  • Better efficiency in fleet management and delivery services.


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.
