    摘要: A system and method of operating a portable navigation device or navigation system having a digital camera associated therewith and controlled is described. The method includes capturing digital image data as well as performing a pattern recognition technique on the captured digital image data to determine whether the image includes one or more recognizable pre-defined features. In addition, some information is stored into memory, including an indication of a feature identified for which the pattern recognition technique was successful together with geospatial location data identifying the approximate position of at least one of: the location of the device or system when the digital image was captured, a calculated predicted location of the device and a calculated approximation of the location of the feature identified in the captured digital image.

    摘要: A radio data system transmits message groups comprising four blocks of which the first block always carries the program identification code for the transmitting network (P1(TN)). One type of message group, identified by a corresponding group type code (GT) in a second block always carries a program identification code for another network (PI(ON) in a fourth block and carries various corresponding items of information in a third block. Which of these various items is in the third block is identified by a user code (UC) in the second block. The items of information in the third block may in particular include alternative frequency codes for the other network identified in the fourth block.

    摘要: A portable electronic communications apparatus includes a processing resource operably coupled to a Radio Data System communications unit. In at least one embodiment, the processing resource is also arranged to identify, when in use, a number of available frequencies capable of serving as a number of Alternative Frequencies, respectively. The processing resource communicates on a tuned frequency first Radio Data System data identifying the number of Alternative Frequencies. A data store is also operably coupled to the processing resource. The Radio Data System communications unit is arranged to re-tune, when in use, from the tuned frequency to another frequency of the number of available frequencies and to communicate on the another frequency second Radio Data System data, the re-tuning being supplemental to any re-tuning initiated as a result of inadequate signal strength associated with the tuned frequency. The number of Alternative Frequencies is kept below a certain maximum. The apparatus can be a navigation system.
