Abstract
A driver information device with a map display is designed in such a way as to make the map display clear and easy to read. This is achieved, in cases where multiple special objects are situated at one location on the map, through the use of an indicator symbol representing such special objects, with a selection menu for selecting individual special objects, instead of displaying an individual symbol for each one of them.
Description
- This application is a division of prior application U.S. Ser. No. 10/600,894 filed Jun. 20, 2003, which claimed priority to German Patent Application No. 10230479.3, which was filed in Germany on Jul. 6, 2002, and which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- German Patent Application No. 199 56 112 describes a driver information device in the form of a navigation system, in which a simplified selection of objects of interest takes place by using a selection list. For this purpose, a map and the selection list are displayed simultaneously on the display unit. Symbols for the objects displayed and described in the list are superimposed on the map. With this device, however, the viewer has to match the superimposed object with a list entry himself. Furthermore, the practice of superimposing symbols directly at the location of the object to which the symbol relates onto a map is also known. However, especially in densely built-up areas or at low resolution, these objects partially or, at worst, completely obscure each other so that the viewer is unable to see the relevant symbol when looking at the map. This may cause the viewer to miss important objects. In addition, the immediately adjacent positioning and partial or complete obscuring of symbols makes selection of an object located in close proximity to other objects difficult, where such a selection is made, for example, by using crosshairs, by touching a touch-screen surface, or via a screen marker.
- The driver information device according to the present invention has the advantage that, instead of multiple objects being located in one place on the map, these symbols are not themselves displayed in that location, but are replaced by an indicator symbol representing all of them. By selecting this indicator symbol, the user is able to generate a display of symbols, and preferably also a description of the special objects, in a selection menu. The user thereby receives easily legible information about the multiple special objects, the indicator symbol being preferably superimposed on the map at the location where the special objects are actually located, or at one that is in close proximity to the special objects. This occurs in particular in cases where the symbols for multiple objects in one location would overlap so as to at least partially, or even totally, obscure each other, even if the particular special objects are only very close to each other, and not in the exact same location.
- A special advantage is the superimposition of the selection menu on the map, preferably in the form of a list, in particular by using a semi-transparent window, in such a way that the map continues to remain essentially visible to the user. Furthermore, the matching of objects to symbols is made easier by the fact that the indicator symbol continues to be displayed unchanged in its location even after it has been selected, while being either directly connected with the selection menu or embedded in it.
- A further advantage is the ability to enter one of the special objects as a destination into the driver information device by making a selection or to generate the display of further information by making a selection. This simplifies the entry of the destination and the selection of information.
- Another advantage is that the user is able to draw conclusions regarding the nature of at least one of the objects in this location from the color of the indicator symbol. Color may thus be used to indicate, for example, hospitals, restaurants or hotels separately. This makes it possible to prioritize individual facilities in order to determine which color shall appear if multiple objects, to which such a special color is allocated, are present in the location indicated, or within a given radius from this spot.

FIG. 2 shows the display of data in a driver information device according to the present invention after the indicator symbol has been selected. - The driver information device according to the present invention may be used for any vehicle. It may also be installed independently of any vehicle in a computer unit. In the following, the driver information device according to the present invention is described using the example of a driver information device designed as a navigation device and built into an automobile. In general, there is only space for a small viewing screen in an automobile, and the application of the present invention thus enables optimum utilization of this limited screen area.

Based on the instantaneous position of the vehicle as determined bypositioning device 6, computer unit 2 determines a route leading to the destination entered. Through a loudspeaker 8, driving instructions are issued to the driver. Driving instructions may also be displayed onviewing screen 4. Furthermore,navigation device 1 hasmemory 15 where a map image is stored, which will be displayed onviewing screen 4. Also stored inmemory 15 are the information relating to the special objects as well as the symbols and names of these objects in the form of graphics and/or text. - Viewing
screen 4 also displays amap image 9 for driver orientation and, in particular, for entering the destination. The map section displayed may be selected either viaoperating elements 7, or specified automatically by computer unit 2 based on the instantaneous vehicle position as determined viapositioning device 6.Map display 9 containsroads 10. In addition, the map contains multiple symbols informing the driver about special objects, POI (Points of Interest), the corresponding symbols being displayed on the map at the position of each special object. The special objects are, for example, places of interest, restaurants, hotels, government offices, filling stations, rest areas, or parking lots. In the exemplary embodiment shown, aparking lot symbol 11 is displayed on a street. At a different location in themap display 9, a bed is displayed as ahotel symbol 12. In addition, the map also displays anindicator symbol 13 advising the user that a number of special objects are located at the position ofindicator symbol 13. For entering a destination, one ofsymbols operating elements 7. In a special embodiment of the present invention,viewing screen 4 may be designed as a touch-sensitive screen surface so that, by touchingviewing screen 4 wheresymbols navigation device 1, selecting a symbol may result in its instantaneous location being entered as a destination. In another embodiment of the present invention, selection may initially trigger the display of further information relating to the special object. For example, together withhotel symbol 12, vacancies, category or prices may be displayed for the hotel. In a preferred version,navigation device 1 is equipped for this purpose with awireless communication interface 14 that will enable access to further information. - In order to draw attention to special facilities,
indicator symbol 13 may, for example, be colored red if there is a hospital at this location, blue if there is a hotel, but no hospital, at this location, and green if there is a restaurant, but neither a hotel nor a hospital at this location. - If
indicator symbol 13 is selected, this location is initially not recorded as a destination, rather there follows the display of a selection menu containing further information, here in the form of a list, as shown inFIG. 2 . Preferably, information is displayed as symbols and/or text. In a different embodiment of the present invention it is, for example, also possible to select from a two-dimensional selection box or from a tree structure.Indicator symbol 13 remains displayed unchanged at the same location on the map. Asemi-transparent window 16 with a selection menu is superimposed onmap display 9 in the vicinity ofindicator symbol 13, a gray shading being superimposed on the map in the area of thewindow 16, for example, so that the map display underneath, although fainter, remains recognizable, while any superimposed information pertaining to the special objects is highlighted in contrast to the map. Accordingly,FIG. 2 shows the roads underneathwindow 16 as dotted lines.Indicator symbol 13 is embedded in thesemi-transparent window 16. Inside thesemi-transparent window 16, arestaurant symbol 17 withexplanatory text 18 is displayed superimposed. In addition, ahotel symbol 19 withexplanatory text 20, e.g., hotel name, is displayed superimposed. Furthermore, aparking lot symbol 21, also withexplanatory text 22, is displayed superimposed. In the embodiment shown, aselection frame 23 is positioned around therestaurant symbol 17 withexplanatory text 18, e.g., name of restaurant, within the selection menu. By usingoperating elements 7 or touching theviewing screen 4,selection frame 23 may be moved to the other special objects displayed, in this case the hotel or the parking lot. These may be selected as destinations or, alternatively, further information pertaining to these special objects may be accessed, either to be displayed superimposed inmap display 9, or to replacemap display 9. When displayed in the form of a list as shown here, symbols as well as explanatory text information are displayed superimposed in thesemi-transparent window 16. In contrast, in one of the embodiments not shown in the drawing, superimposed display in thesemi-transparent window 16 is limited to either symbols or text information for any one object. In another embodiment, also not shown, the semi-transparent window may be filled with a background that completely coversmap display 9. Additional information such as street names or place names may, in addition, be displayed directly inmap display 9. In yet another embodiment, it is also possible to superimpose only thecorresponding symbols map display 9 on initial selection ofindicator symbol 13, and then to add thetext information indicator symbol 13.
