Providing Combined Map Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18282573 titled 'Providing Combined Map Information
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method for providing combined map information on board a vehicle by mapping landmarks from one map to another.
- The method involves mapping a first map to the vehicle's environment.
- It then maps a second map to the first map, aligning the positions of landmarks between the two maps.
- The information from both maps is used to provide data about the surrounding area.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Mapping of multiple maps to provide comprehensive information.
- Alignment of landmarks between maps for accurate positioning.
- Real-time data about the surrounding area for improved navigation.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles, navigation systems, and location-based services.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the need for accurate and detailed map information for vehicles.
Benefits:
- Improved navigation accuracy.
- Enhanced situational awareness for drivers.
- Better integration of map data for comprehensive information.
Commercial Applications:
Commercial applications include in-car navigation systems, fleet management, and location-based advertising.
Prior Art:
No information on prior art related to this specific technology is provided in the abstract.
Frequently Updated Research:
There is no information on frequently updated research related to this technology in the abstract.
Questions about Combined Map Information on Board a Vehicle:
1. How does this technology improve navigation systems in vehicles? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method in real-world scenarios?
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for providing combined map information on board a vehicle includes determining a first mapping of a first map to an environment of the vehicle; determining a second mapping of a second map to the first map, wherein the second mapping maps the position of a landmark in the first map to a position of the same landmark in the second map; and providing information from the first and second maps relating to the surrounding area.
