Abstract: A method and apparatus for entering an address for a navigation system allows a user to easily and quickly select a key indicating the next character of the address. At the start of operation, the navigation system shows a full alpha-numeric keyboard. Once the next candidate characters are narrowed down to a certain degree, the navigation system shows a simplified keyboard with a limited number of keys on the monitor screen and highlights the next candidate characters on the simplified keyboard. The navigation system displays both the simplified keyboard and a street name list on the same screen. Since the keys of the limited number are arranged within a small space such as in the three-by-three manner, the user can easily point a cursor or other pointing device to the desired key.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a desired point of interest (“POI”) for a navigation system displays matching brand icons associated with POIs to assist the user in finding an intended POI. When the user inputs characters indicating a POI name or a POI type, or selecting a POI type from a list, the navigation system displays brand icons of the POI name or POI type. When the user selects one of the brand icons, the navigation system lists the POIs associated with the brand icons in the predetermined order such as distance from the current vehicle position. Since the number of brand icons are limited, and each brand icon has a readily recognizable image, the user can quickly find a desired POI by selecting a brand icon.

Abstract: A color wheel includes a carrier element, a filter group, and a connection component. The carrier element includes a first carrier, and a second carrier. The carrier element rotates around the central axial line. The first carrier has at least one aperture. The filter group has a transparent zone and a filter bonding zone. The filter group and the carrier element share the central axial line. The filter bonding zone has at least one concave zone. The combining component is simultaneously in the apertures of the first carrier and the filter bonding zone to fix the filter bonding zone of the filter group between the first carrier and the second carrier.
