摘要:
A method for processing data received by a receiving device which outputs present location data for a movable vehicle based on the Global Positioning System and is positioned in the vehicle, including the steps of calculating an average of a predetermined number of data output from the receiving device while the vehicle stops, determining the average to be an effective data if the standard deviation of the data is within a predetermined range, and processing the averaged data as the present location data for the vehicle.

A communication navigation system is provided with: a communication navigation terminal (5) and a communication center apparatus (3) with a communication network (2) for connecting them. The communication navigation terminal is provided with a traveling locus recording device (36, 24) for preferentially holding a traveling locus recorded when a movable body is driving out of a service area of the communication navigation system; and a processing device (20) for performing a route search and the like on the basis of this preferentially held traveling locus.

A communication type navigation apparatus can communicate with a server device via a communication path. The navigation apparatus requests route search, and the server device executes route search to produce route information of a searched route. Then, the meshes necessary to travel along the searched route are determined, and the navigation apparatus obtains necessary mesh data from the server device. The navigation apparatus may request newer mesh data to the server device based on the updating information of the mesh data. By appropriately determining the mesh data to be and not to be downloaded from the server device, the communication cost necessary for obtaining the mesh data can be saved.

An image processing device comprises an image data input means 2, an image data storage means 12 for storing the image data being input, an image data processing means 6 having multiple processing modes for outputting the stored image data, and a image data erasing means for erasing the image data stored in the storage means 12. The device further comprises erase count control means 8, 14 for controlling the number of times for erasing image data capable of having the number of times of erase set arbitrarily according to the security level required for each mode, and capable of having the set number of times of erase changed in mid-flow. Confidentiality is protected by performing erase operations repeatedly to the region storing the unnecessary image data according to the security level.

A navigation system on an automobile has a GPS receiver for producing first positional data indicating the automobile position based on radio waves from GPS satellites, and a self-operating sensor for producing second positional data indicating the automobile position based on speed and orientation sensor signals. A data processor compares previous and present first positional data to determine whether the difference therebetween is equal to or smaller than a first predetermined value, and also determines whether a PDOP value of the present first positional data is equal to or smaller than a second predetermined value. The present first positional data and the second positional data are compared to determine whether the distance between the present position of the automobile as indicated by the present first positional data and the present position of the automobile as indicated by the second positional data is equal to or greater than a third predetermined value. The data processor outputs the first positional data as present positional data if the difference between the previous and present first positional data is equal to or smaller than the first predetermined value, if the PDOP value is equal to or smaller than the second predetermined value, and also if the distance is equal to or greater than the third predetermined value.

A route setting method for use in a navigation system for navigating a movable body is provided with a process area setting process of setting a process area, which corresponds to a present position of the movable body, includes a plurality of route points and has a size based on a performance of a recovery route searching process, in case that the present position of the movable body does not exist on a set route from an original departure point to a final destination point. The set route includes the route points and is set in advance. The route setting method is also provided with: a route point searching process of searching a closest route point, which is the closest to the final destination point among the route points on a boundary of or within the set process area; and the recovery route searching process of searching a recovery route from the present position of the movable body to the searched closest route point.
摘要:
A display device applied to a navigation system for a vehicle displaying map information by using a color pallet. The device comprises means for supplying at least a signal distinguishing a bright and a dark environment according to the degree of brightness degree in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. Color pallets have their contents changed according to the information from the supply means. The contents of the registers are changed so that a degree of brightness of background color of a display unit is decreased to less than a decreased degree of brightness of colors displaying the information on the display unit when the output information of the supply means changes from the brightness to the darkness.
摘要:
A momentarily changing position of a travelling vehicle is correctly identified by a vehicular nagivation system on which a magnetism sensor, angular velocity sensor, travel distance sensor and global positioning system are mounted. The current position of the vehicle is identified by, for example, storing data of a road on a map in the form of numerical values, measuring a predetermined distance which the vehicle has travelled and computing the current position on the road based upon the predetermined distance thus measured.
