In particular implementations, the terminals described in embodiments of the invention include, but are not limited to, other portable devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers, or tablet computers having touch sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touch pads). It should also be understood that in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communication device, but is a desktop computer having a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or touchpad).

In the discussion that follows, a terminal that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. However, it should be understood that the terminal may include one or more other physical user interface devices such as a physical keyboard, mouse, and/or joystick.

The terminal supports various applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disc burning application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an email application, an instant messaging application, an exercise support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.

Various applications that may be executed on the terminal may use at least one common physical user interface device, such as a touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface and corresponding information displayed on the terminal can be adjusted and/or changed between applications and/or within respective applications. In this way, a common physical architecture (e.g., touch-sensitive surface) of the terminal can support various applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

Nowadays, mobile terminals are already commonplace as navigation tools. In the navigation process realized based on the mobile terminal, although the navigation software can accurately indicate the target position, due to the limited positioning precision (such as dozens of meters) of the mobile terminal, certain errors exist in the navigation software during drawing a map, and the like, so that the navigation precision of the navigation software is limited, the position information of the location of the user cannot be correctly indicated, and the user cannot be guided to specifically reach the target position.

Taking the example that a user goes to an unfamiliar place to pick up a passenger through a navigation vehicle, when the vehicle is close to the target position, the navigation software is not always good, and when the user arrives near the target position (possibly dozens of meters to hundreds of meters away from the target position), the navigation software prompts the user that the vehicle has arrived near the target position, the navigation is completed, and the navigation is stopped. This results in some places (especially high-rise buildings standing in a forest) where the target location is clear and near the eye and the user does not see the passengers. In such a situation, the user typically needs to slow down the vehicle to the right or stop at the side of the road to find the target location along the road. Even more, the user needs to call the passenger again to confirm the location where he is, ask passers-by how to reach the target location, and so on. That is, after the navigation process is finished, the user needs to go through additional communication or search along the road, etc. to find the passenger or the target position where the passenger is located.

One of the reasons for the above problems is that the positioning accuracy of the mobile terminal is limited. Specifically, the positioning technology used by the mobile terminal is generally GPS + AGPS, but positioning technologies such as GPS and AGPS all have a certain precision range, that is, there is a certain drift, and in addition, the mobile terminal is located in a vehicle and in a moving state, and the reception of positioning signals such as GPS signals and AGPS signals is affected to a certain extent, so the positioning precision of the mobile terminal is limited, specifically, the navigation software can only tell the target position or which position the target person is approximately at, and when the terminal travels near the target position, the navigation is terminated. That is, current navigation software cannot tell the user exactly how the target location should be achieved in particular.

Aiming at the problem that the navigation software can accurately indicate the target position but cannot intuitively indicate a specific route in the navigation process, the embodiment of the invention provides a navigation method, and when the navigation software is close to the target position 101 (for example, the distance is 1 kilometer away from the target position, and the distance can be acquired through the navigation software or voice analysis), the navigation mode based on the marker is automatically switched. In the marker-based navigation mode, the terminal may employ a road matching algorithm as follows to calculate the travel route.

In this marker-based navigation mode, the mobile terminal may obtain its current location information (e.g., longitude, latitude, etc.). In particular, the mobile terminal may obtain the current location information from positioning data of the mobile terminal, which may include, but is not limited to, GPS data, AGPS data, and the like. Alternatively, the Mobile terminal may also directly read positioning data returned by a Land Mobile Satellite (LMS).

Further, the mobile terminal may obtain the panoramic (or street view) map information of the current location by combining the obtained current location information. Specifically, the mobile terminal may request the navigation software to acquire the panoramic map information, that is, acquire the panoramic map information through various map open interfaces. Optionally, the mobile terminal may further obtain the panoramic map information in a self-establishment server manner. The panoramic map information at least includes road information and roadside important landmarks, and the mobile terminal may mark the current position 102 corresponding to the current position information at a corresponding position of a road 103 corresponding to the road information, and determine whether the current position information and the road information can be successfully matched, that is, whether the mobile terminal must travel on the road. It can be understood that when the mobile terminal acquires the panoramic map information, the basis of the homemade navigation map is obtained.

If the current position information and the road information can be successfully matched, further, the mobile terminal can acquire the current traveling direction or angular position thereof through a digital compass (gyroscope digital compass) built in the mobile terminal, and judge whether the traveling direction and the road information successfully matched can be successfully matched, namely whether the traveling direction is non-road. In one particular embodiment, during vehicle navigation, when the mobile terminal is used as a navigation tool, the mobile terminal will typically be tilted slightly forward and fixed in position relative to each other, such that the pointing direction of the digital compass in the mobile terminal is the direction of travel of the mobile terminal in the plane 360.

If the traveling direction can be successfully matched with the successfully matched road information, the mobile terminal can further calculate a required traveling route from the current position to the target position according to the road information, the current position information, the traveling direction information and the target position information. According to the travel route, the mobile terminal can automatically draw a simple map (i.e. a homemade navigation map) on the obtained panoramic map or by using software, and can also calculate the position of the travel direction of the mobile terminal in the panoramic map information, i.e. can determine the travel instruction information 104.

Further, the mobile terminal may acquire the current location important landmark 105. Specifically, the mobile terminal may turn on its rear camera, and capture and acquire actual street view/live view image data in the traveling direction of the current position 102; or, the mobile terminal may establish a communication connection with the automobile data recorder, and when the mobile terminal detects that the mobile terminal is close to the target position 101, that is, when the mobile terminal detects that the distance between the mobile terminal and the target position 101 is smaller than a preset distance (e.g., 1 km), the mobile terminal may send a shooting instruction to the automobile data recorder, so that the automobile data recorder obtains live-action image data in the traveling direction of the current position 102 through shooting, and feeds back the shot live-action image data to the mobile terminal. Alternatively, the mobile terminal may also acquire image data of the landmark 105 of which the current position is important from the panoramic map information. Optionally, the mobile terminal may also retrieve image data of the current location significant landmark 105 from its locally stored data. In a particular embodiment, the mobile terminal may only obtain important landmarks in the direction of travel of the current location. In China, the direction of travel is usually referred to as the right side of the road.

Further, the mobile terminal may acquire the target location important landmark 106. Specifically, the mobile terminal may acquire image data of the landmark 106 of which the target position is important from the panoramic map information. Important landmarks for both the current location and the target location may include, but are not limited to, bus stations, train stations, subway stations, airports, gas stations, service stations, parking lots, buildings, squares, hotels, restaurants, beverage stores, traffic lights, public toilets, intersections familiar to the user, and the like.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, the mobile terminal may annotate and display a target location 101, travel instruction information 104, a current location important landmark 105, and a target location important landmark (several landmarks closest to the target location may be selected) 106 on the homemade navigation map to enhance the navigation function.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal can use the split screen display technology to perform split screen processing on the display area of the navigation interface, so that the navigation map originally used by the navigation software and the homemade navigation map are displayed simultaneously. Therefore, on the basis of not influencing the functions of the original navigation software, because a lot of important landmark information which is easy to identify is pulled back from the self-made navigation map, and the navigation map is simplified (only how the mobile terminal reaches the target position is clearly shown), on the basis of not influencing the experience of the original navigation user, the user can accurately find the target position or the target task through important landmark identification, and the positioning and searching capability is improved.

Therefore, the navigation method provided by the embodiment of the invention displays the navigation map originally used by the navigation software and the self-made navigation map provided by the embodiment of the invention in a split screen manner in the terminal screen, and displays the images of the markers with wide cognition degree and high recognition degree, such as stations, buildings and the like, at the corresponding positions on the self-made navigation map, so that a more comprehensive and visual navigation mode can be provided on the basis of not influencing the function realization of the original navigation software, a user can more quickly position and search the target position, and the navigation accuracy is improved. The navigation method and the terminal provided by the embodiment of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 to 8.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a navigation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In a specific implementation, the steps included in the method may be performed by a terminal. The navigation method as shown in fig. 2 may include:

and S11, acquiring first marker data in the traveling direction of the current position.

In one embodiment of the invention, the direction of travel is referred to as the right side of the road.

Wherein the first marker data comprises at least image data and position data of the first marker. The first marker is an important landmark which is located near the current position and has wide cognition degree and high identification degree, such as a bus station, an airport, a gas station, a building, a square, a hotel, a restaurant, a small shop at the street, a traffic light and the like.

Obviously, the terminal may also obtain the first marker data in other directions of the target position, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

And S12, acquiring a second navigation map, and displaying the image of the first marker in an overlapping way at the corresponding map position on the second navigation map according to the image data and the position data of the first marker.

The second navigation map may be a simple map drawn according to a panoramic map or a street view map within a specified range of the current location. The second navigation map at least comprises road information from the current position to a target position, and the target position is an end position of navigation.

The image of the first marker may specifically be a photograph of the first marker, and a user may accurately recognize the first marker according to the photograph.

Optionally, for a portion of the first markers, there is a generic easy identification icon through which the user can accurately identify the first markers. For the portion of the first marker, the image of the first marker may be a simple logo icon of the first marker, and the portion of the marker may include a gas station, a service station, a traffic light, a public washroom, and the like.

Alternatively, for a portion of the first marker whose logo (e.g., logo, trademark) is known to the user, the user can accurately identify the first marker by its logo. For the portion of the first marker, the image of the first marker may be a logo of the first marker, and the portion of the first marker may include a famous hotel chain, a famous restaurant chain, a bank, and so forth.

Specifically, the terminal may mark the acquired photos, simple identification icons or logos of the important landmarks with wide cognition degree and high recognition degree, such as bus stops and buildings, located on the right side of the current position road, at the corresponding positions on the acquired second navigation map.

And S13, determining a traveling route from the current position to the target position and carrying out navigation prompt according to the traveling route.

Before determining the travel route from the current position to the target position, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal further needs to obtain a current travel direction or angular position (a certain direction in 360 ° south-east-west-north), and obtain panoramic (or street view) map information of the current position according to the determined current position information. The panoramic map information at least comprises road information and roadside important landmarks.

Further, the terminal may calculate a route (i.e., a travel route) to be traveled from the current position to the target position based on the road information, the current position information, the current travel direction information, and the target position information in the panoramic map information.

The traveling route includes a position where the first marker is located, which is indicated by the image data of the first marker, that is, the traveling route passes through the position where the first marker is located.

In a specific embodiment, the terminal may perform screen splitting processing on a display area of the current navigation interface, display a first navigation interface in the first area, and display a second navigation interface in the second area.

The first navigation interface at least comprises a first navigation map, the second navigation interface at least comprises a second navigation map, and the second navigation map displays the image of the first marker in the traveling direction of the current position in an overlapping mode.

It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to the process of the terminal navigating. When the terminal uses the navigation software to navigate, a navigation interface is displayed in the terminal screen, and the navigation interface at least comprises a navigation map used by the navigation software, the distance between the current position and the target position, the time required from the current position to the target position and the like.

Detecting the distance between the current position and the target position in the process of navigation of the terminal; if it is detected that the distance is less than the preset distance, the step of acquiring the marker data in the traveling direction of the current position is performed. The preset distance may be a default value (e.g. 1 km) set by the system, or a distance customized by the user. Specifically, the user may set the preset distance according to the user's own requirement, for example, the default value of the system setting is changed to 500m or 1.5 km.

In the process that the terminal is navigating, the terminal can also judge whether navigation mode switching operation is received. Wherein the navigation mode switching operation is to switch the current navigation mode to a marker-based navigation mode. And if the navigation mode switching operation is received, the terminal executes the step of acquiring the marker data in the traveling direction of the current position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first navigation map refers to a navigation map used by navigation software when the terminal performs navigation before the step of acquiring the first marker data in the traveling direction of the current position is performed by the terminal.

Furthermore, the terminal can also perform navigation prompt according to the determined travel route. Specifically, the method for the terminal to perform the navigation prompt may specifically include: marking the determined travel route on the first navigation map by using a mode of color different from other roads and the like; or, the determined travel route is marked on the second navigation map using travel instruction information for instructing the route to be traveled, such as an arrow; alternatively, voice announcements are used to indicate the upcoming route.

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal displays the first navigation map originally used by the navigation software and the second navigation map provided by the embodiment of the invention in a split screen manner in the terminal screen, and displays the images of the markers with wide cognition degree and high recognition degree, such as stations, buildings and the like, at the corresponding positions on the second navigation map, so that a more comprehensive and visual navigation mode can be provided on the basis of not influencing the function realization of the original navigation software, a user can more quickly position and search a target position, and the navigation accuracy is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic flow chart of another navigation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is shown. In a specific implementation, the steps included in the method may be performed by a terminal. The navigation method as shown in fig. 3 may include:

and S21, detecting the distance between the current position and the target position.

In a specific implementation, the terminal first determines current location information.

Optionally, the manner in which the terminal determines the current location information may include: the terminal acquires positioning data; and determining the current position information according to the positioning data. The positioning data may include GPS data, AGPS data, and the like.

Wherein the target position is a terminal position of the navigation. The terminal may obtain the target location information from navigation software used for navigation. Thus, the terminal can calculate the distance between the current position and the target position according to the determined current position information and the acquired target position information.

The preset distance may be a default value (e.g. 1 km) set by the system, or a distance customized by the user. Specifically, according to the user's own needs and the performance parameters (e.g., electric quantity) of the terminal, the user may set the preset distance, for example, change the default value set by the system. For example, when the power of the terminal is low, the user may change the preset distance value to a value less than 1 km, such as 500m, to reduce the power consumption of the terminal. For another example, when the user wants to find the target position accurately and also wants to find a restaurant for eating while traveling, the preset distance may be changed to a distance from the start position of the navigation to the target position.

And S22, if the distance is smaller than the preset distance, acquiring first marker data in the traveling direction of the current position.

Due to the limitation of navigation accuracy, the navigation software may end the navigation before navigating to the accurate target position. Thus, if the distance between the current position and the target position is less than a preset distance (e.g., 1 km), indicating that the terminal is closer to the navigation end position, the terminal may automatically turn on the marker-based navigation mode.

Specifically, the acquiring, by the terminal, the first marker data in the traveling direction of the current position may specifically include: acquiring a video stream of a current position, wherein the video stream comprises a video stream in a shooting direction of the current position; and carrying out image recognition processing on the video stream to obtain a first marker, and determining first marker data in the advancing direction of the current position according to the first marker.

The video stream can be obtained by shooting through a rear camera in the terminal.

Optionally, in the vehicle navigation process, the terminal may establish a communication connection with the automobile data recorder through a connection manner such as bluetooth or Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). Therefore, the video stream can be obtained by shooting through the automobile data recorder, the situation that the shot video or picture is not clear due to the problem of the visual angle can be avoided, and the video information of 180 degrees right ahead can be obtained clearly and accurately due to the fact that the automobile data recorder is arranged in a correct position.

It should be noted that, after the terminal identifies the first marker by performing image recognition processing on the acquired video stream, image data of the first marker may be acquired from the video stream, and position data of the first marker may be acquired through the panoramic map.

Specifically, the acquiring, by the terminal, the first marker data in the traveling direction of the current position may further specifically include: acquiring a panoramic map within a specified range of a current position, wherein the panoramic map comprises first marker data in each direction of the current position; first marker data in a current position traveling direction is acquired from the panoramic map.

The panoramic map stores image data and position data of markers at respective positions. Thus, both the image data and the position data of the first marker can be acquired from the acquired panoramic map.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment, the terminal may also obtain the first marker data in the traveling direction of the current position when receiving the navigation mode switching operation. Wherein the navigation mode switching operation is to switch the current navigation mode to a marker-based navigation mode.

And S23, determining a traveling route from the current position to the target position.

Before determining the travel route from the current location to the target location, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal further needs to obtain a current travel direction or angular position (a certain direction in 360 ° south-east-west-north), and obtain panoramic (or street view) map information of the current location according to the determined current location information. The panoramic map information at least comprises road information and roadside important landmarks.

And S24, acquiring a second navigation map according to the traveling route.

Wherein the road information at least from the current position to the target position in the travel route. According to the travel route, the terminal may automatically draw a simple map (i.e., a second navigation map) on the basis of the acquired panoramic map or using software.

And S25, acquiring second marker data of the target position.

Wherein the second marker data comprises at least image data and position data of the second marker. The second marker is an important landmark with wide cognition degree and high identification degree near a target position, such as a bus station, an airport, a gas station, a building, a square, a hotel, a restaurant, a small shop at the street, a traffic light and the like.

Optionally, the terminal may obtain the second marker data in each direction of the target position, or may obtain only the second marker data in the traveling direction of the target position, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

And S26, determining the travel instruction information according to the travel route.

The travel instruction information is used to indicate an upcoming route, and may be, for example, an arrow used to indicate an upcoming direction.

And S27, displaying the image of the first marker, the image of the second marker and the travel indication information in an overlapping mode on the second navigation map.

Specifically, the terminal displays the image of the first marker in an overlapping manner at the map position corresponding to the first marker on the second navigation map, displays the image of the second marker in an overlapping manner at the map position corresponding to the second marker on the second navigation map, and displays the travel instruction information in an overlapping manner at the map position corresponding to the road to be traveled in the travel route on the second navigation map.

The images of the first marker and the second marker can be, for example, photographs of the first marker and the second marker, simple identification icons or logos, etc., which are convenient for accurately and quickly identifying the images of the first marker and the second marker.

And S28, performing split screen processing on the display area of the current navigation interface, displaying the first navigation interface in the first area, and displaying the second navigation interface in the second area.

As shown in fig. 4, the first navigation interface includes at least a first navigation map 401, the second navigation interface includes at least a second navigation map 402, and the second navigation map 402 displays an image of the first marker in the traveling direction of the current position, an image of the second marker in the target position, and traveling instruction information in a superimposed manner.

It is understood that the terminal is navigating using the navigation software while the terminal performs detecting the distance between the current position and the target position. If the navigation software runs in the foreground, a navigation interface is displayed in the terminal, the displayed navigation interface is the current navigation interface, and the area for displaying the navigation interface is the display area of the current navigation interface. Wherein, the front navigation interface at least comprises a navigation map used by the navigation software. If the navigation software runs in the background, the display area of the current navigation interface is the area occupied by the navigation software when the navigation interface is displayed at any moment, and the terminal can acquire the position and size information of the area and perform split-screen processing on the area.

It should be noted that the first navigation map refers to a navigation map used by navigation software included in the current navigation interface.

Alternatively, if the target location is relatively conspicuous and there is a target object with a higher recognition degree at the target location, such as a building (e.g., a building, a hotel, etc.) known to a large number of users beside the road, after the terminal performs screen splitting processing on the display area of the current navigation interface, a first navigation interface may be displayed in the first area and a second navigation interface may be displayed in the second area, where, as shown in fig. 5, the first navigation interface at least includes a first navigation map 501, and the second navigation interface at least includes an image 502 of the target object with the higher recognition degree.
