Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The field of the invention is a navigation device, a method and a computer program product for providing navigation instructions and alternative navigation instructions. [Prior Art] GPS-based devices are well known and widely used as in-vehicle navigation systems. Reference can be made to the applicant's T(10) TomR navigation device M. The user can enter the destination address. The software then calculates the best route to the destination and displays instructions on how to navigate through the route. By using the position information obtained from (10) the receiving piano, the software can periodically determine the position of the navigation device (usually mounted on the dashboard or windshield of the vehicle), and can display the front position of the vehicle on the map and Display (and say) the appropriate navigation command (for example: "Left turn after 100 meters"). A graphic depicting the action to be completed (e.g., the left arrow indicating the left turn in front) may be displayed in the state and may also be superimposed on the applicable fork or the like in the road shown in the map itself. The term "guide device" refers to a device that enables a user to navigate to the target (4). The device can have a receiver for receiving location data. Μ Receiving location data connection The inside navigation line can allow the driver to start a route and calculate again when driving the car along the (4) navigation system. This route is then calculated to be useful if the vehicle encounters construction or severe blockages. °: Ref. _89, which reveals the technique used for calculations—new routes—she. Starting the new route calculation requires starting a specific bypass switch, but this may cause inconvenience to the user. Also refer to uss544_, and enable the device to preview the calculated route by displaying each of the different roads and turns that must be selected by the transport guard on a continuous screen; "The user must manually read the preview switch. Every successive screen until the user reaches the road they want to exclude from the route; the user then selects the -delete switch'· a new route that does not include the deleted road. The WO incorporated by reference In 2004/076976A1, a navigation device having a route recalculation function is disclosed. This function is activated by a user touch: the screen is switched from a normal navigation map mode to a _ menu screen, and the menu screen displays various types of routes. Re-calculation of the options. The relevant disclosures can be found in WO 2004076977 (A1), WO 2004076978 (A1), and WO 2004076979 (A1), which are also incorporated by reference. Figure 19 of the prior art is a screen from a navigation device Taking a face, which displays various route planning functions that enable the user to request the device to draw a new route to the destination, the new route (1) being an alternative route; Η) avoiding the roadblock immediately ahead; (iii) avoiding the predefined road or (iv) the reverse route of the original route.

[Embodiment] Aspects of technical problems Alternative users rely on their guidance systems, and experienced users are increasingly convinced of their own judgments, especially in well-known areas. In this regard, £150879.doc 201213771 and a 'the users from a guide ^▲ to β; correct. (d) In this case, _ _ seeks to confirm that the judgement is based on a navigation system designed to increase safety, for example, the measure can be actually used by the user, because the user may be better at estimating the situation. It is only for the convenience of many navigation systems. Turn), example * δ, after selecting the wrong turn somewhere, the fastest route: for (4) driving in the opposite direction on the road. Because just doing it. Turning is sometimes dangerous, or it is almost impossible for a 4b transporter to delay the tool, so the majority of the knife navigation system attempts to use the & 1 hunting by 180 in its route planner algorithm. Turning a slap in the face with a high penalty to prevent 18 baht. Turn the ridge. As a result, there are often a number of turn-to-routes in the nearby residential areas or in the :f area (through some of the roads between the fields). Turning. Even though more complex planning algorithms try to avoid such situations, the results are often at best a longer route. 5 When you are not lucky, the system will bring you and your camper to the steep slopes of poor quality roads, but you could have been on a wide H road with many turning possibilities. Usually the 'user can tell if it can be done. Turning makes a better judgment. Unfortunately, the navigation system did not inform "Hui users that the recommendations presented were actually intended to prevent (10). Turning. This problem can be solved by replacing the 4th wire with a display, which shows an 18°. Turning (see, for example, the screen for the screen in Figure 4 and the related explanation below). In addition, the example is a route that deviates from the normal driving route of the driver due to traffic congestion. This recommendation reduces the user's reliance on their navigation system because the recommendation deviates from the route the driver expects in the familiar area. By also presenting the original proposal to increase the difference in distance and travel time, the user is again assured that the system has made the right choice for the user. An alternative to the example is “always forward _> distance shortened by 2 km, time increased by 30 minutes” and traffic congestion at 9 km”. A similar example is shown in Figure 3 for the screen capture. It has also been consistently an alternative to one of the most recent parking or rest areas that you have been driving for a long time. Currently, the T〇mT〇mm system displays a warning in this case; if the user has been provided with the alternative suggestion, the user gets more help" - a similar solution can be used for connected vehicles that are running out of fuel ( In connected car), in this case the alternative suggestion is related to the route to the nearby gas station. Or, if the selected destination is a point of interest (POI), then the planned route is often directed to the main entrance, but the driver 3b prefers to go to the nearby parking area. As shown in Figure 2, a screen can be provided that includes a navigation command (on the left side of the screen) to the selected destination and a navigation command (on the right side of the screen) below the convenient parking area. Another possibility is to use this alternative suggestion as a starting point for an alternative route to the same destination. For example, in the Netherlands, the route from Eindhoven to Haguei can pass through Utrecht or Rotterdam. Several points on the preferred route of the navigator (via Utrecht) are important forks that can be routed through the R〇Uerdam alternative route. At these intersections, the system can display the alternative proposal, which shows the difference in length and time and the distinguishing characteristics of the route: "Through Rotterdam". The verbosity of the alternative advice can be configurable, as appropriate. A more lengthy example would be to provide an alternative at each crossroad or at almost every intersection. I50879.doc •10-201213771. This example is easy to use if you are at an intersection and the construction of the truck is blocked in front of the right turn and the left turn and the choice between the user and the user. Depending on the situation, this recommendation can be augmented by the difference in length and time, and depending on if the last part of the route is shared with the original route, then the relative = (four) length. Depending on the situation, a highly verbose alternative suggestion can be given as needed...by pressing a panel or button on the screen. Alternative identification: importance or type can be based on the different indicators or colors used. The idea is a navigation system with the following characteristics: If the driver follows the agent build 4', then the system will follow the proposal (4). For the new route. Therefore, the user does not need to touch the screen, and the user directly drives the system to inform the system that he or she wants to follow the alternative route. For example. ^ The user decides to go - different routes to go home and leave the road. Since the detour = long distance and along the road with a speed limit lower than the road', the current route planner and navigation system will continue to plan to return the user to the road until the route has been issued faster - the point 'the replacement The route can be almost—until Dalai, and the user may be bored with the advice of each of the bypass recommendations that they pass. By the system depicting that the user is deviating, a single action (no action at all) can indicate to the system that the person is not prepared to follow the original route, thus reducing the suggestion that may be distracting or requiring the user to manually discover The faster original route - the alternative route. So far, how is the problem solved? , e As far as I know, this issue has not been resolved. One of the drivers in question is to study their alternative ideas by interacting with their navigation system. This I50879.doc 201213771 study may report numbness while driving (for example, zoom out to see if this suggestion has a 0-transfer, or zoom And scroll through the route overview to figure out the original. The traffic on the route is actually really bad, or try to block the length of the route to try to force the system to find the desired alternative route. Another option is directly to other The way to drive and try to be far enough away from the old route, so that the system can follow the driver's ideas, but it may not be very applicable. Technical features • As mentioned in the technical aspects, can provide users with an alternative suggestion For example, this alternative suggestion can be a separate suggestion icon on the screen. This one understands this-alternative suggestion, for example, because it has different colors: = same background color or different style or Different locations on the screen. The route corresponding to the individual recommendations can be displayed on the screen in the same color or style as the raw material line. • Alternative suggestions , for example, '" turn right here, or turn left to pass

Rotterdam or “To stop, turn right here. To continue driving to the entrance, keep going.” • Based on the type of advice and/or road conditions, the system can choose to change the information given. The system can, for example, choose not to provide 丨8〇. Turning advice, because a road segment is known to be very busy or has an accident history. In order to determine which alternative suggestions will be displayed, the navigation system software can: • automatically calculate alternative routes: such routes are, for example, substantially similar to the best route found, but have a small amount of weight with the best route Nie's route. For this alternative route, the navigation system is able to distinguish the distinguishing characteristics from the other = 150879.doc *12- 201213771 lines. This can be, for example, in accordance with a large city or on an important road (for example, "via Rotterdam", "After 8:12") • When deemed necessary (for example, because it is time to rest, or because the car's oil level is low) Automatically calculate routes to alternate destinations (such as parking areas or gas stations) • Where there are multiple alternatives at a point, the navigation system can assign a certain priority to each alternative suggestion to determine Show which (which one) suggest. — Of course: adding this feature to a system should never be confusing or confusing to the driver. In order to reduce the risk of this impact, (iv) the choice can only be presented under certain conditions (for example, at a specific speed limit, on a particular type of road, etc.). What are the advantages of the above "technical features"? Tian Hao, the driver who has already lived an alternative route or sub-route has to go through many interactive steps on his navigation system to figure out whether his alternative idea is a good idea. This is often possible (for example, going to the route overview, planning alternative routes by blocking the first few meters guessed, etc.), but can be cumbersome' because these alternative route ideas often occur while driving. The alternatives presented in this article anticipate the driver's possible thinking and immediately show the driver the result of the idea. This eliminates most of the failure of the user of the navigation system: leaving the user in a direction that they cannot understand. This improvement alone results in a highly improved user experience. For those who do not doubt the user's advice, 'presenting useful alternatives is a good service to the user. 150879.doc 13 201213771 The ability to increase the driver's ability to attack the navigation system can be a significant differentiator on the market. Refer to the "Technical Features" section for an example or alternative solution for a drawing/wafer. Figure 1 shows a navigation screen that is displayed in black text on a white background in the lower right corner - an alternative suggestion. As indicated, this alternative suggestion is related to a partial replacement route with a distance shortened by 3 3 km and accommodating and spending 2 minutes. The normal recommendation is given at the center of the bottom of the screen. Figure 2 shows that there are two suggestions on the #幕幕, which are partial suggestions. The main suggestion is the pilgrimage to my destination (the left side of the screen). The department provides an alternative to the nearby parking space (the right side of the screen). Figure 3: In this example, in the Netherlands, the navigation system presents a route towards Mazhan (four), but the driver often travels through the version to eliminate the driver's suspicion of this unusual route, and also shows the alternative route suggestion. Ia pre-, the month will take 40 minutes more than the route through Maastricht. The alternative route can be calculated in several ways, for example, by no means; s; = owe ^ ^ Beixun (such as ' By considering what is the best route without traffic, but then calculating the actual date of travel required for the route, or by recording the route that the 51 aircraft has followed in the past.): The information is displayed in the form of a road sign (in detail, it is displayed as a modified road sign). Figure 4: This is the case where the driver chose the wrong turn. To prevent the 180 resale 'Navigation system calculate the route shown (on the screen Let the heart extend upwards = thick line) 'and at the center of the screen, the black background on the black background. - turn left after 950 meters." The alternative suggestion is to make a turn. Turn: 150879.doc 201213771 This is the bottom left of the screen The white line will shorten the glutinous rice, and the black text of the machine will be displayed. This machine can see for yourself that the alternative route is not worthwhile, and the time of the turn can be 180. The time of the start can be 180. Penalty' This time penalty can be fixed in the calculation algorithm, =W driver records from the previous track (four), or can be collected for multiple drivers for this special location. In the latter case, the vice The transfer is ordered to the navigation device so that an average of 18 turns for this location or type of road can be counted. Turning time and/or as appropriate to suit the driver's profile) σ Figure 5 shows prior art issues The driver experienced a failure because it was in traffic congestion and thought "I want to continue driving. There should be another way. "live" #算:This has not happened yet. Can I use it here again? The intersection is transferred to another road and passed?" Here, "live" refers to the traffic information service for the navigation device. Figure 6 shows an example of the problem of the prior art. The driver sees the blocked street and has no relevant information. I thought about "Is it possible to avoid this blockage by choosing another-turn? Should I follow other cars that are turned around?" But the driver does not know the answer to these questions' and the driver's navigation device cannot easily provide such answers. Figure 7 shows an example of a prior art problem. The navigation device tells the driver: Travel through the exit to head toward its destination, but the road sign shows that the exit is obviously the way to its destination (in Clitherhoe). Whether the sound is to follow the advice of the navigation device or whether to follow the road sign. Figure 8 shows an example of the problem of the prior art. The driver thinks, "It’s interesting to look at 150879.doc •15·201213771. I still have some time. a Let's take the country road. The road sign to follow the bar/point of interest (P〇I) is Lumbar obeying I leaving my way? Let's go to the morning insurance! ° The driver has been curious 1 The navigation of the prior art Li can not easily provide the required information. The navigation system does not show an example of the problems of the prior art. The driver said, "I want to go. But I have parked on another road. Jane, ·,, the better way." The driver experienced troubles. 9. Know one Figure 1 shows an example of a problem with prior art. In the calculation of satellite lines, only one road may be suggested.

A typical route to York. , ew = =: Then, compared with Figure 10, there are many alternative routes for the route shown in Figure 10, and the parent-alternative route has a similar distance and time. Airlines =:=: Although there may be many viable alternative routes, the satellite guide = put only p routes. When real life events follow your life, this may not change. In Figure u, the device shows the viable alternatives' so that the driver can make decisions as needed and when necessary ("instant"). In Figure 13, a possible alternative route is shown for each of the left and right sides of the planned route. The feasible alternative route is indicated on the map screen by an icon. This icon shows the direction that will be taken from the planned route. This icon shows the time (or the difference in travel time required) required to select the viable alternative route in preference to the planned route. In Fig. 14, there is shown that a "live" pND is not required, that is, a portable navigation device or a personal navigation device or a portable personal navigation device that does not require receiving traffic information. In general, the navigation device does not have to be able to receive traffic. 150879.doc •16·201213771 Holes The device screen shown in Figure 15 shows only a viable alternative route. One-way = roads and dead lanes are grayed out' to make it suitable for city driving. In Figure (4), note that dynamic interest points on the driver's main route and close to the feasible route can be displayed, which encourages exploration and “leaving the original route” (for example, leaving the route). This lays the foundation for augmented factual information. As shown in Figure 17, in order to keep the map view simple, the second-order interface allows an overview and a detailed view. The user can press a p〇I icon to obtain more information about a POI, and an alternative route through the p〇I can be provided. After the information is supplied, the user can press "pass" or "end", which respectively selects or rejects the alternative route through the ρ〇ί. In Fig. 18, the prior art satellite navigation technology is shown to have an "obey me" mentality, i.e., an instruction that the driver is expected to obey the navigation device. However, the new method can be expressed as "you choose (y〇u ch〇0se)", that is, as part of the navigation information provider, giving the user the option. You need to design the overall experience and use the interface to reflect this example. 4 If the user finds a way to leave the traffic, the user can feel the satisfaction. The user can experience trust in the navigation service: the user selects the road' and the navigation device provides the navigation direction. The curiosity of the user can be met: new routes may be discovered and the journey can be more fun. The user can receive information, which gives the user the option. Users can experience improved control of the navigation experience. Throughout this document, it should be understood that in the case of navigation, "recommendations" refer to possible navigation instructions, and "multiple recommendations" refer to - or multiple possible navigation instructions. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that an alternative navigation command 150879.doc 201213771 can be provided on the screen, provided by voice, or provided on a screen and provided by voice. It is to be understood that the above-mentioned configurations are merely illustrative of the application of the principles of the invention. Numerous modifications and alternative configurations are conceivable without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The present invention has been described in detail and in the foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention Numerous modifications can be made in the context of the principles and concepts of the invention. APPENDIX 1 - NAVIGATION DEVICE A navigation device can be programmed to have a database and software that enables planning of one to one destination. The device can be further programmed to display a navigation map on a touch screen display that updates the current location of the device. The navigation device can be used as a transporter/middle navigation system. Navigation can also be implemented in any configuration of the navigation device, such as a portable device, a built-in vehicle device' or for non-transportation (eg, for pedestrians) or a wheel tool other than a car (eg, 'aircraft ) The device designed. The second navigation device can implement any kind of position sensing technology and is not limited to r 'so the navigation device can use other kinds of GNSS (Global Satellite Navigation System) such as the European Galileo system to solve the satellite-based position/inertial navigation attenuation. It is not limited to land-based beacons or the device can be deployed using land-based types such as U-based. ~ Any other location of its location 150879.doc -18. £ 201213771 When the field is executed on a navigation device, the navigation software can generate a navigation device that enables the normal navigation mode screen to be displayed (see for example w〇l〇〇4/ Figure 7 and Figure 2) of 76976Al. This view uses the combination of text, symbols, and language 9 "combination and mobile maps to provide driving instructions. The key user interface is as follows. It occupies most of the screen's 2D or 3D map. The map shows the user's car and its The immediate surroundings are rotated in such a way that the direction of movement of the car is always "up". The state barrier traverses one of the bottom four P-knifes of the screen. The current position of the device is indicated by an arrow (cough device ^4 (4) positioning) and its orientation (according to its traveler\7). The device (using the route stored in the device memory = two algorithms are applied to store the device memory - the ground diameter, which is shown with the travel line being displayed as a dark route overlay The path...overlaps. On the dark path, the main action (for example, the description of the two movements: (the street, etc.). The state block (4) dry and the lower right turn) is shown in the status bar.

"Optimal" can refer to such as the shortest or shortest distance or some other user related The criteria of the factors. More specifically, the user can, for example, use a virtual keyboard to input his or her destination in a conventional manner to the navigation software executing on the navigation device. The user then chooses to calculate the route of travel. The way: provide a variety of simulations such as ''fast' mode, which calculates the route very quickly, but the £150879.doc -20- 201213771 route may not be the shortest; the "complete" mode, which considers all possible routes and targets The shortest route, but it takes a long time to calculate and so on. Other options are possible 'user-defined a scenic route, for example, the route passes most of the points of interest (p(1)) marked to see the famous beauty, or most of the P0I that may be of interest to the child, or use the least fork , and many more. The map itself is a map database in the device memory (or the map database is otherwise accessed by the navigation application, for example at the remote end), ie a vector (eg, start point, end point, road) The direction, the whole = road W, hundreds of these segments constitute 'every segment is uniquely defined by the start/end direction parameters). The map includes a set of such road vectors, = points of interest (KH), plus material names, plus other geographic features (❹ ^ yard boundaries, river boundaries, etc.), all of which are determined by vectors: map Features (eg, 'road vector, p〇I, etc.) are defined in a coordinate system corresponding to the Gps block or associated with the GPS coordinate system, such that: the position of a device determined by the -(10) system can be located On the relevant roads on which map f is not relevant. Calculate the complex algorithm used as part of the navigation software. Apply this method to score a large number of possible different routes. The navigation software then goes to Zhaoding, then (or device preset criteria) (such as , the full mode sweeps the hurricane route, through the museum and the speedless camera) to evaluate the routes.

The method of traffic flow is performed by a mobile network device having a call management system, the call management system having a mobile telecommunication device positioning system for providing location information of the active telecommunication device. The method includes Taking the individual positioning information loaded on the vehicle to convert the geolocation data of the device and converting the data into a probability vector indicating that the vehicle has reached a possible road component of the road network that is compatible with the geographic location data The likelihood of either. Repeat this process as the vehicle travels, and based on the probability of any of the available route orders between the new probability vector road component position and the immediately preceding probability vector road component position To construct a new probability vector. Calculate the expected transition time of the available routes, and compare the transition time with the actual transition time to provide The delay factor of the available route (and therefore its road component). The average delay factor is obtained by using the information obtained for other means of transport, thereby providing a report of the extent of traffic congestion and delay on such roads.
