Appl. No.:

11/732545

Inventors:

Thai Tran - Torrance CA, US

Assignee:

Alpine Electronics, Inc. - Tokyo

International Classification:

G08G 1/123

US Classification:

34099519, 3409952, 34099527

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for a navigation system displays a route guidance list that lists information on roads that intersect with a calculated route to the destination in an organized and simplified manner. The method includes the steps of calculating a route to a destination specified by a user, retrieving information on intersecting roads that intersect with the calculated route; and displaying a route guidance list which lists road names on which the calculated route is established and a distance associated with the intersecting road. The route guidance list shows one integrated road name if there are two or more identical road names consecutively on the calculated route and an overall distance of the identical road names that intersect with the calculated route.

International Classification:

G01C 21/30

US Classification:

701209, 701201, 701300, 34099516, 34099519

Abstract:

A method and apparatus allows a user to input a tentative destination which is proximate to an intended destination when the address data for the intended destination is not found in the map database. The method includes the steps of allowing a user to specifying an intended destination in the navigation system and searching address data for the intended destination, notifying the user that the address data is not found in the map database, selecting a method for inputting data indicating a tentative destination which is considered proximate to the intended destination, allowing the user to specify the tentative destination through the selected input method, and determining a location of the tentative destination and detecting address data indicating the location of the tentative destination.

Appl. No.:

12/286197

Inventors:

Thai Tran - Torrance CA, US

Assignee:

Alpine Electronics, Inc. - Tokyo

International Classification:

G01C 21/30
G01C 21/32

US Classification:

701208

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for identifying correct city involving a street that borders on two or more cities for a navigation system. The navigation system identifies a correct city name associated with such a border street based on a direction of a vehicle travelling on the border street. In another aspect, the navigation system identifies a correct city name associated with such a border street based on a cursor point on the map image as to which side of the street and city is more proximate to the cursor point. Further, the navigation system identifies a correct city name associated with such a border street based on an address number as to whether it is an odd number or even number thereby determining the side of the street and city.

International Classification:

G06N 20/00
G06F 30/10

Abstract:

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for determining locations for seams on a 3D model of an object is provided. The present invention may include training an artificial intelligence model using a set of training data. The present invention may include generating a first model for the object using a shrink wrap method. The present invention may include generating a second model for the object using a decimation method. The present invention may include comparing the object to objects in the set of training data to identify an object in the training data having a similar shape. The present invention may include identifying the object by determining if the object fits in between the first and second models. The present invention may lastly include projecting seams onto a model of the object using the trained artificial intelligence model.
