NAVIGATION DEVICE AND NAVIGATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210179 titled 'NAVIGATION DEVICE AND NAVIGATION METHOD
The abstract of the patent application describes a navigation device that offers alternative locations to the user when they cannot reach a specific destination by the scheduled time. The device searches a database of user-selected points with genre information to propose alternative locations of the same genre.
- The navigation device determines alternative locations of the same genre as the specific destination.
- The device presents proposal data for the alternative locations to the user.
Potential Applications: - Travel and tourism industries - Event planning and management - Location-based services
Problems Solved: - Inability to reach a specific destination on time - Lack of alternative options when faced with delays
Benefits: - Improved user experience - Efficient route planning - Increased flexibility in travel plans
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Navigation Device for Personalized Route Planning" This technology can be utilized in GPS devices, mobile apps, and online mapping services to enhance user experience and provide personalized route suggestions based on user preferences.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of navigation devices, location-based services, and route optimization algorithms to explore existing technologies similar to the proposed innovation.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in GPS technology, user interface design, and database management systems to enhance the functionality of navigation devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the navigation device determine alternative locations based on genre information? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale?
Original Abstract Submitted
when the navigation device that guides the route to the destination to the user determines that the user cannot arrive at a specific location that is one of the destination and another point on the route by the scheduled time, the navigation device includes a control unit that searches a database in which a plurality of points selected by the user are registered in advance together with genre information for identifying genres of the respective points, determines an alternative location of the same genre as the specific location from among the plurality of points, and presents proposal data for proposing the determined alternative location to the user.
