This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240329792 titled 'Navigation Application With Novel Declutter Mode
The abstract describes a navigation application with a novel declutter navigation mode. When selected, the declutter control simplifies the navigation presentation by removing or de-emphasizing non-essential items. The application can toggle between normal and decluttered navigation presentations, emphasizing major roads not on the route and fading out minor roads more quickly.
- Simplified Explanation:
- A navigation application offers a declutter mode to simplify the navigation presentation by removing non-essential items. - The mode emphasizes major roads not on the route and fades out minor roads quickly.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Declutter control to simplify navigation presentation. - Toggle between normal and decluttered navigation modes. - Emphasizing major roads not on the route. - Fading out minor roads quickly.
- Potential Applications:
- Enhanced user experience in navigation applications. - Improved focus on essential information during navigation.
- Problems Solved:
- Information overload in traditional navigation presentations. - Difficulty in focusing on key elements during navigation.
- Benefits:
- Clearer and less cluttered navigation presentations. - Improved user understanding of the navigated route.
- Commercial Applications:
- Potential use in GPS navigation systems. - Integration into mobile mapping applications for better user experience.
- Questions about Navigation Declutter Mode:
1. How does the declutter mode improve user experience in navigation applications? 2. What are the key differences between the normal and decluttered navigation presentations?
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Stay updated on user feedback regarding the effectiveness of the declutter mode in navigation applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
some embodiments provide a navigation application with a novel declutter navigation mode. in some embodiments, the navigation application has a declutter control that when selected, directs the navigation application to simplify a navigation presentation by removing or de-emphasizing non-essential items that are displayed in the navigation presentation. in some embodiments, the declutter control is a mode-selecting control that allows the navigation presentation to toggle between normal first navigation presentation and a simplified second navigation presentation, which below is also referred to as a decluttered navigation presentation. during normal mode operation, the navigation presentation of some embodiments provides (1) a representation of the navigated route, (2) representations of the roads along the navigated route, (3) representation of major and minor roads that intersect or are near the navigated route, and (4) representations of buildings and other objects in the navigated scene. however, in the declutter mode, the navigation presentation of some embodiments provides a representation of the navigated route, while providing a de-emphasized presentation of the roads that intersect the navigated route or are near the navigated route. in some embodiments, the presentation shows the major roads that are not on the route with more emphasis than minor roads not on the route. also, in some embodiments, the presentation fades out the minor roads not on the route more quickly than fading out the major roads not on the route.
