Abstract

This invention concerns a vehicle navigation device which stores navigation destinations in memory from which the navigation data can be called up in a pre-set sequence to simplify obtaining of the navigation data and be displayed on a display device. With this invention, the average search time for a navigation destination being called up is markedly reduced by using a counter and memory to store the number of requests of the navigation destinations and by using a sorting device to sort the sequence in relation to the number of requests determined.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Navigationsvorrichtung für ein Fahrzeug mit in einem Speicher ablegbaren Navigationszielen, die aus dem Speicher in einer vorgegebenen Reihenfolge zur Vereinfachung des Erhalts von Navigationsinformationen abruf­ bar und auf einer Anzeigevorrichtung anzeigbar sind.The invention relates to a navigation device for a Vehicle with navigation destinations that can be stored in a memory, from the memory in a predetermined order Simplify the retrieval of navigation information bar and can be displayed on a display device.

Derartige Navigationsvorrichtungen sind bekannt und finden zunehmend in Personenkraftwagen Verwendung. Bei einem bekann­ ten Gerät dieser Art, das unter der Bezeichnung Travel Pilot vertrieben wird, können von dem Benutzer ihn besonders inter­ essierende persönliche Navigationsziele in einem Speicher ab­ gelegt werden. Die Liste der persönlichen Navigationsziele kann dann an der Navigationsvorrichtung abgerufen werden. Es erscheinen auf einer Anzeigevorrichtung dann die abgespeicher­ ten Navigationsziele. Da die Anzahl der abgespeicherten Navi­ gationsziele in der Regel so groß ist, daß die Navigationszie­ le nicht alle gleichzeitig angezeigt werden können, werden die abgespeicherten Navigationsziele auf einem Display gescrollt. Such navigation devices are known and can be found increasingly used in passenger cars. With one known device of this type, which is known as the Travel Pilot is distributed, can be particularly inter eating personal navigation destinations in a memory be placed. The list of personal navigation destinations can then be called up on the navigation device. It then appear on a display device the stored navigation destinations. Since the number of stored Navi gation goals is usually so large that the navigation target le cannot all be displayed at the same time, the stored navigation destinations scrolled on a display.  

In bekannten Techniken können die abgelegten Navigationsziele in der Reihenfolge der Eingabe oder nach bestimmten Sortier­ kriterien angezeigt werden. Bekannte Sortierkriterien sind eine alphabetische Reihenfolge oder die Bestimmung der Reihen­ folge nach der Entfernung vom Standort des Fahrzeugs. Diese Sortierkriterien führen dazu, daß sich relativ häufig die Aus­ wahl des aktuell gewünschten Navigationsziels aus den abge­ speicherten Navigationszielen umständlich gestaltet, weil das aktuell gewünschte Navigationsziel erst relativ spät auf der Anzeigevorrichtung erscheint.In known techniques, the stored navigation destinations in the order of entry or according to certain sorting criteria are displayed. Known sorting criteria are an alphabetical order or the determination of the series follow the distance from the location of the vehicle. This Sorting criteria mean that the off is relatively common selection of the currently desired navigation destination from the abge saved navigation targets cumbersome because that currently desired navigation destination is relatively late on the Display device appears.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problemstellung besteht darin, in der Regel einen schnelleren Zugriff zu den abgespei­ cherten Navigationszielen zu ermöglichen.The problem underlying the invention is in it, usually faster access to the spewed secure navigation destinations.

Ausgehend von dieser Problemstellung ist erfindungsgemäß eine Navigationsvorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art gekennzeich­ net durch einen Zähler und einen Speicher für die Anzahl der Abrufe der abgelegten Navigationsziele und durch eine Sortie­ rungseinrichtung zur Sortierung der Reihenfolge in Abhängig­ keit von der festgestellten Anzahl der Abrufe.Based on this problem, according to the invention there is one Navigation device of the type mentioned net by a counter and a memory for the number of Retrieval of the stored navigation destinations and by a sort Means for sorting the order in dependent of the number of calls found.

Erfindungsgemäß wird durch die Navigationsvorrichtung die An­ zahl der Abrufe der abgelegten Navigationsziele festgestellt und abgespeichert. Eine Sortierungseinrichtung, die regelmäßig durch einen Mikroprozessor gebildet sein wird, nimmt dann eine Umsortierung der Navigationsziele in Abhängigkeit von der festgestellten Anzahl der Abrufe vor. Hieraus resultiert, daß die am häufigsten angewählten Navigationsziele auf der Anzei­ gevorrichtung als erste erscheinen, so daß die mittlere Such­ zeit für das Aufrufen der Navigationsziele auf der Anzeigevor­ richtung deutlich verringert wird.According to the invention by the navigation device Number of calls to the stored navigation destinations determined and saved. A sorting facility that is regular will be formed by a microprocessor, then takes one Reordering the navigation targets depending on the determined number of views. As a result, the most frequently selected navigation destinations on the display device appear first so that the middle search time for calling up the navigation destinations on the display direction is significantly reduced.

Das Einschalten der Sortierungseinrichtung, also die Durchfüh­ rung der Sortierungsroutine, kann manuell erfolgen, insbeson­ dere durch Aufrufen der Sortierungsroutine auf einem Menü der Navigationsvorrichtung. Es ist aber auch denkbar, in regelmä­ ßigen Abständen oder bei bestimmten Vorgängen, beispielsweise beim Einschalten des Geräts, automatisch die Sortierungsrouti­ ne ablaufen zu lassen.Switching on the sorting device, i.e. the implementation Sorting routine can be done manually, in particular by calling the sorting routine on a menu of the  Navigation device. But it is also conceivable, in regular intervals or in certain processes, for example when the device is switched on, the sorting routine automatically let it expire.

In der beigefügten Zeichnung ist schematisch das Prinzip der erfindungsgemäßen Sortierung anhand eines einfachen Beispiels erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt eine Liste 1, in der Ziele Z (A, B, C, D) alphabetisch geordnet sind und in dieser Reihen­ folge auf eine Anzeigevorrichtung der Navigationsvorrichtung erscheinen. Der erfindungsgemäße interne Nutzungszähler NZ registriert die Anzahl der Abrufe der verschiedenen Ziele, wie dies neben den Zielen der Liste 1 vermerkt ist.In the accompanying drawing, the principle of the sorting according to the invention is schematically explained using a simple example. The drawing shows a list 1 in which destinations Z (A, B, C, D) are arranged alphabetically and appear in this sequence on a display device of the navigation device. The internal usage counter NZ according to the invention registers the number of calls to the various destinations, as noted in addition to the destinations in list 1 .

Nach Durchführung der Sortierungsroutine entsteht eine Liste 2, in der Reihenfolge der Ziele entsprechend der Häufigkeit der vom internen Nutzungszähler registrierten Abrufe sortiert ist. Demzufolge erscheint nunmehr das Ziel C an erster Stelle, da es mit Abstand am häufigsten, nämlich 22mal, abgerufen wor­ den ist. In der Reihenfolge der Häufigkeit schließen sich in der Liste 2 die Ziele D, A und B an.After the sorting routine has been carried out, a list 2 is created in which the order of the destinations is sorted according to the frequency of the calls registered by the internal usage counter. As a result, target C now appears in the first place, since it is by far the most frequently accessed, namely 22 times. In order of frequency, list 2 is followed by destinations D, A and B.

Das bei weitem am häufigsten abgerufene Ziel C erscheint bei Aufruf der persönlich eingegebenen Navigationsziele somit an erster Stelle und kann in kürzester Zeit angewählt werden, um von der Navigationsvorrichtung Fahrthinweise zum Erreichen des Ziels C zu erhalten, die ggf. auch die aktuelle Verkehrslage berücksichtigen.By far the most frequently accessed destination C appears on Call up the personally entered navigation destinations first place and can be selected in no time from the navigation device driving instructions to reach the To get destination C, which may include the current traffic situation consider.
