The image correction method and system for navigation device with portable navigation unit converts an image based on projection to a first display into a suitable image on a second display such that the area of the second display is used economically and efficiently while maintaining some elements of the image in substantially common aspect ratio between the images on the first display and on the second display. The image correction method determines the ratio of the second display, determines if image correction is required, and checks a correction table and performs image correction according to correction rules to generate the corrected image for projecting on the second display.

The latch apparatus for portable display devices has a pin portion and an actuator. The latch apparatus has an opening into which the pin portion is inserted to secure the display device in a device mount. The actuator applies force to release the pin to remove the display device from the device mount. Both the actuator and the pin portion have ramps that are designed to make contact with each other and slide as force is exerted to the actuator. Due to the ramps, the pin portion moves to withdraw from the opening of the display device as force is applied to the actuator. Biasing means maintains the position of the pin such that the pin portion securely holds the display device in the device mount unless the actuator is pressed for releasing the pin portion.

A display control and antenna positioning apparatus for a display device is capable of detecting positions of a navigation antenna that receives GPS signals. The navigation antenna is moveable such that a user is able to move it to an open position that is suitable for GPS signal reception, or to a closed position not suitable for GPS signal reception. When the navigation antenna is in the open position, the apparatus enables navigational functions while prohibiting non-navigational functions. When the navigation antenna is in the closed position, the apparatus disables navigational functions while allowing the non-navigational functions. A device mount prevents the display device from being received therein when the navigation antenna is in the closed position.

A method for remotely controlling a vehicle audio system, which is controlled in accordance with an instruction from an infrared remote control unit, uses a radio frequency remote control unit to remotely control the vehicle audio system. A security system receives a command transmitted from the radio frequency remote control unit. In a security control mode, the vehicle security system performs security control based on the command. In an audio control mode, the security system transmits the command to an audio control interface unit. The audio control interface unit converts the command transmitted from the security system into an infrared remote control unit command. Based on the infrared remote control unit command, an infrared emitter is driven to emit infrared rays, thus controlling the vehicle audio system by the infrared rays.

A user is notified of an abnormal condition occurring in a vehicle via a Mayday system. A security apparatus which detects an abnormal condition occurring in a vehicle and which issues an alarm and an emergency communication service apparatus which communicates with a response center and which receives services from the response center during an emergency are connected so that information can be transmitted and received between them. When the security apparatus detects an abnormal condition occurring in the vehicle, the security apparatus notifies the emergency communication service apparatus of the occurrence of the abnormal condition, and in response to the notification, the emergency communication service apparatus notifies a user of the occurrence of the abnormal condition via the response center.
摘要:
A navigation system includes an in-vehicle portion and a removable navigational unit, where the removable navigation unit is a portable device with navigation capability on its own. The removable navigation unit is capable of being connected to the in-vehicle portion through an navigation interface to perform the navigation function in combination with the in-vehicle portion. The removable navigation unit seamlessly integrates with the in-vehicle portion of the vehicle to provide portability of navigation function when used independently from the in-vehicle portion, and taking advantage of the components of in-vehicle portion when used in conjunction with the in-vehicle portion.
