Inventors:

Bob Barcklay - Berkeley CA, US

Assignee:

TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. - Annapolis MD

International Classification:

G01C 21/34

US Classification:

701417, 701412, 701416, 701491

Abstract:

The accuracy of a reverse geocode for a GPS fix in a mobile phone navigation device is improved significantly by considering together the user's last known location on an original route, the elapsed time between the last known location on the original route and the latest GPS fix, and the likelihood that the user could have traveled from the last known location on the original route to one of numerous candidate locations (generated from the reverse geocode) in the elapsed time. The navigation server relies only on a GPS fix, timestamps, and a back-end routing database to provide improved or superior accuracy of reverse geocoding a GPS fix (selection of a point on a road) when a relevant user has deviated from the intended route. The reverse geocoding allows for accurate and functional re-routing capabilities.

Inventors:

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 3, 707E17014

Abstract:

A persistent point-of-interest search is performed during map panning. A persistent search criteria module identifies a search criteria from a first mapping tile request and stores the search criteria in association with a particular wireless device. A mapping tile module identifies a neighboring mapping tile from a second mapping tile request and performs a point-of-interest search for the neighboring mapping tile with the stored search criteria. In this manner, a user need only enter a search criteria for a point-of-interest once, the point-of-interest being displayed automatically for subsequent map tiles displayed for the user.
