Abstract

Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Navigationssystems (1) für ein Fahrzeug mit einer Steuereinrichtung (2) zur kombinierten Anzeige wenigstens zweier in einer Namensspeichereinheit (3) abgelegter Ortsangaben auf einem Display (4), dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Steuereinrichtung (2) auf dem Display (4) eine kombinierte Ortsangabe derart zur Anzeige bringt, dass die kombinierte Ortsangabe aus einem eine größere Stadt repräsentierenden Kürzel und aus einem voll ausgeschriebenen Namen einer jeweiligen Ausfahrt oder eines jeweiligen Stadtteils zusammengesetzt wird.Method for operating a navigation system (1) for a vehicle having a control device (2) for the combined display of at least two location data stored in a name memory unit (3) on a display (4), characterized in that the control device (2) is shown on the display ( 4) brings a combined location statement to display such that the combined location is composed of an abbreviation representing a larger city and a fully advertised name of a respective exit or district.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Navigationssystem für ein Fahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a method for operating a navigation system for a vehicle according to the preamble of the claim.

Derartige Verfahren zum Betrieb von Navigationssystemen sind bereits durch öffentliche Benutzung in vielfältiger Weise bekannt. Als Problem ist das in der Regel für vollständige Ortsangaben zu schmale Display anzusehen. Bei Autobahnfahrten führt dieser Umstand in größeren Städten wie beispielsweise Braunschweig zu der Angabe ”Braunschweig-Wat”, wenn als angebotene oder gewählte Ausfahrt „Watenbüttel” gemeint ist.Such methods for operating navigation systems are already known by public use in many ways. As a problem, the display is usually too narrow for complete locations. In the case of motorway journeys, this circumstance leads in larger cities such as Braunschweig to the indication "Braunschweig-Wat", if the offered or chosen exit is "Watenbüttel".

Aus der WO 99/46562 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Ausgabe von Verkehrsinformationen bekannt, bei dem eine Fahrtroute von einem Startort zu einem Zielort berechnet wird. An Zwischenzielorten werden Fahrtrichtungshinweise auf Ausgabemitteln ausgegeben. Die Fahrtrichtungshinweise werden aus den Namen der Zwischenziele und/oder folgenden Segmenten entnommen. Zudem können Verkehrshinweise mit Angaben über die Namen, Zielorte, Abfahrten und Abzweigungen ausgegeben werden.From the WO 99/46562 A1 For example, a method for issuing traffic information is known in which a route is calculated from a starting location to a destination. At intermediate destinations, directions are output on output means. The direction indications are taken from the names of the intermediate destinations and / or following segments. In addition, traffic information with details of the names, destinations, departures and junctions can be issued.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, insbesondere für ortsunkundige Benutzer der an sich bekannten Navigationssysteme den Informationsgehalt der auf dem Display angebotenen Ortsangabe zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve the information content of the location indicated on the display, in particular for location-unsuspected users of navigation systems known per se.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einem Verfahren gemäß dem Patentanspruch. In dem Navigationssystem ist also eine Steuereinrichtung für das Display vorgesehen, die erfindungsgemäß eine kombinierte Ortsangabe in der Weise zur Anzeige bringt, daß im Display die Ortsangabe zusammengesetzt ist aus einem die größere Stadt repräsentierenden Kürzel (vorzugsweise polizeiliches Kennzeichen wie BS für Braunschweig, WOB für Wolfsburg etc.) und den – bevorzugt mit Bindestrich angeschlossenen – voll ausgeschriebenen Namen (in Langschrift wiedergegebene Zeichenfolge) der jeweiligen Ausfahrt bzw. des jeweiligen Stadtteils.This object is achieved by a method according to the patent claim. In the navigation system, therefore, a control device for the display is provided according to the invention brings a combined location in the way to display that the display is the location is composed of a major city representing abbreviation (preferably police license plate as BS for Brunswick, WOB for Wolfsburg etc.) and the - preferably with hyphen connected - fully advertised name (in longhand rendered string) of the respective exit or the respective district.

In der Zeichnung ist die Wirkung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ersichtlich. 1 zeigt schematisch ein Navigationssystem 1 mit einer Namensspeichereinheit 2, einer Steuereinrichtung 3 und einem Display 4. Die Ausgabe auf dem Display 4 entspricht dem kritisierten Stand der Technik.In the drawing, the effect of the method according to the invention can be seen. 1 schematically shows a navigation system 1 with a name storage unit 2 , a control device 3 and a display 4 , The output on the display 4 corresponds to the criticized state of the art.

2 veranschaulicht die verbesserte Ausgabe einer kombinierten Ortsangabe. 2 illustrates the improved output of a combined location.
