Description
- The present invention is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/588,144 filed on Oct. 6, 2009 (issued as U.S. Pat. No. 9,285,239 on Feb. 24, 2106), which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application 61/136,828, filed Oct. 7, 2008, entitled “USER INTERFACE FOR CONTENT CHANNELHUD (HEADS-UP DISPLAY) AND CHANNEL SETS FOR LOCATION-BASED MAPS”, to TSURUTOME et al., the entirety of each is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to navigation devices. More particularly, it relates to location based services (LBS), and point-of-interest channel sets and display techniques in navigation applications that enable viewing by a user of a navigation device.
- 2. Background of the Related Art
- Map web sites and mobile navigation applications include Points-of-Interests (POis) that number in the millions. The sheer quantity of POis available 20 in a given service or product has become a marketing feature for product comparison. However, the usefulness and relevance to the end-user remains questionable. Out of 10 million POis offered by a particular application, how many are truly used, are relevant to needs, or satisfy user interests is questionable.
- Current navigation products structure POis into categories that can be browsed through a multi-level hierarchy. However, this can be cumbersome if there are too many levels to drill-down through. Users are forced to sift through sub-categories that may be irrelevant while looking for what they truly need.
- Nearly all services also include a free text search input box for a 30 category or a brand name, with the results displayed either on a map or list. The results are typically ordered by distance from the user's current location. While useful for a specific, single POI, the search and display results cycle must be repeated for different POis. Users must restart the search process on the initial POI search page, leaving the previous results to start the whole process over again.
- Across most web sites and mobile products, users must browse through lengthy category hierarchies, or enter text and sift through matching results, then repeat this process for each different POI. Based on real-world feedback from users, personal interests vary widely. A single generic set of POis simply does not cater to the needs or interests of individuals.
- In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a navigation device for displaying at least one point-of-interest on a map comprises a channel set module to record a user defined at least one channel set, the at least one channel set comprising at least one point-of-interest criteria. A channel set options module provides a user of the navigation device with an option to select the at least one channel set A channel set display module displays the at least one point-of-interest criteria associated with the user selected channel set.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an apparatus and method of displaying at least one point-of-interest on a map of a navigation device comprises recording a user defined at least one channel set, the at least one channel set comprises at least one point-of-interest criteria. The method provides a user of the navigation device with an option to select the at least one channel set, and if the option is selected, displays the at least one point-of-interest criteria associated with the user selected channel set.

FIG. 8 shows a flow chart for a process of recording and displaying a Channel Set, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. - The present invention provides a content channel heads-up display (HUD) for user defined PO1(s). Initially, a user must find their POI(s). But once found, the user is presented with an option to save their PO1(s) as a “POI channel”. Alternately, the user may browse a predefined POI channel catalog and choose relevant content. POI channels are defined as persistent PO1(s) that layer on a map. More than a single POI may persist, and users have the option to toggle visibility on and off, preferably with a maximum of 2 button clicks for any POIchannel.
- Since the POI channels disclosed herein are based on specific interests, POI channels are highly customized, providing for a useful user experience. An extension of the concepts disclosed herein includes POI channel “sets” that allow grouping of POI channels based on any criteria suitable for users, with the user being able to assign the POI channel set a suitable name. For example, business travelers may have a “Business Trips” POI channel set that includes specific car rental companies, hotels, wi-fi centers, and/or other services that have agreements with their own company, as well as customer locations and meeting places. In accordance with the principles disclosed herein, landing in an unfamiliar city would entail a single click to turn on the location-based map and display all relevant PO1(s) in a POI Channel Set without the conventional need to perform multiple searches.
- Likewise, a “Nightlife” POI Channel Set can include restaurants serving specific cuisines, music of a particular genre, concert venues, theater venues, and/or sports venues matching a user's interests, etc. In
accordance 10 with the principles disclosed herein, a single click would populate a map of a POI Channel Set with all relevant user defined content without performing multiple searches. Content is delivered to the user in a single action, eliminating conventional cumbersome search entry and parsing results, or traversing numerous hierarchies. -
FIG. 1 shows a system for providing persistent POI Channel Sets, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. - In particular, the
system 100 for providing persistent POI Channel Sets during map viewing includes a wireless device 110, and awireless network 120. In accordance with the principles disclosed herein, a tiled map retrieval system includes amapping server 130, amapping database 150, and a persistent POI Channel Setdatabase 140. - Wireless device 110 downloads map tiles and point-of-interest data from a
mapping server 130. Wireless device 110 formulates a request for a mapping tile and previously defined POI Channel Sets based on any number of search criteria that can include address(es), restaurant(s), mass transit station(s), shopping, hospital(s)s, park(s), etc. The request is transmitted over thewireless network 120 to mappingserver 130. Themapping server 130 formulates amapping database 150 query from the search criteria provided in the request for a mapping tile from the wireless device 110. The mapping tile returned from the 30mapping database 150 is formulated into one or more appropriate data packets and transmitted to the wireless device 110. The retrieval of a mapping tile and point-of-interest data from themapping server 130 by a wireless device 110 is well known within the art. - In accordance with the principles disclosed herein, the
mapping server 130 further stores the POI search criteria into POI Channel Sets to be used during subsequent retrieval of mapping tiles by wireless device 110. The search criteria formulated into POI channels and associated identification of a wireless device (e.g., mobile identification number or MIN) are stored in persistent POIChannel Set database 140. - During viewing of any mapping tile by wireless device 110, optionally during route guidance, a user is given the option to view previously defined POI overlaid upon any retrieved mapping tiles. Conventionally, a user must leave route guidance and enter search criteria for POis that a user desires to see during route guidance. However, in accordance with the principles disclosed herein, during route guidance, a user can at any time selected a POI Channel Sets, and have the previously defined PO1(s) data associated with the POI Channel Sets retrieved and overlaid upon the viewed map tile.
- Likewise, a request for any neighboring mapping tile automatically triggers
mapping server 130 to perform a search in a persistent POIChannel Set database 140 for a previously stored POI search criteria associated with a selected POI Channel Sets that is associated with a particular MIN. The previously stored search criteria retrieved from persistent POIChannel Set database 140 is used to add POI icons related to a retrieved persistent POI Channel Sets. The POI icons associated with the user selected POI Channel Sets together with a neighboring mapping tile are packaged together for, transmission to a requesting wireless device 110. - POI icon(s) associated with a POI Channel Set and its associated mapping tile, shown in more detail in
FIGS. 4(A)-4(C) and 5(A)-5(B) , are transmitted to the wireless device 110. In this manner, a user must enter search criteria for a point-of-interest only once during creation of a POI Channel Set(s). This saves a user a substantial amount of time from having to re-enter search criteria every time a user desires to view POI ions for a map tile. - The exemplary embodiment disclosed herein is for a wireless device accessing a
remote mapping server 130 through awireless network 120. However, the concepts disclosed herein apply equally to any of a number of electronic device that include in-car navigation systems 112,mobile devices 114, stand-alonededicated navigation devices 118, web sites viewable on apersonal computer 116 through theInternet 125, etc. The functions and data stored by mappingserver 130,mapping database 150, and persistent POIChannel Set database 140 would likewise be performed by the components within the in-car navigation systems 112, themobile devices 114, the stand-alonededicated navigation devices 118, etc. -

As discussed above, multiple POI Channel Sets can be associated with a particular wireless device 110. A user can assign custom names to the POI Channel Sets or use predefined categories for assignment of POI Channel. The POI Channel Set(s) in association with a particular wireless device 110 is stored in persistent POIChannel Set database 140 for future reference. Upon themapping server 130 receiving a request for a mapping tile and a POI Set, thePOI Channel Set 210 can formulate a request for an appropriate mapping tile and retrieve the previously stored POI search criteria associated with a POI Channel Set from persistent POIChannel Set database 140. The stored POI channel(s) associated with particular wireless device 110 is/are used to retrieve PO1(s) that are associated with a particular wireless device 110. - The
mapping tile module 220 can formulate a database query to retrieve appropriate mapping tiles from amapping database 150. Moreover, themapping tile module 220 can formulate a database query to retrieve appropriate points-of-interest from themapping database 150 based on previous stored POI search criteria associated POI Channel Set(s) stored in persistent POIChannel Set database 140. - Persistent POI Channel Set
database interface module 230 can provide an interface between the persistent POIChannel Set database 140 and the persistent POIChannel Set module 210. The persistent POI Channel Setdatabase interface module 230 can accept a persistent POIChannel Set database 140 query from the persistent POIChannel Set module 210 and provide the appropriate low level data communications to pass the query to the persistent POIChannel Set database 140. Upon the persistent POIChannel Set database 140 finding an appropriate match in response to a database query, the persistent POI Channel Setdatabase interface module 230 provides the appropriate low level data communications to allow themapping server 130 to communicate with the persistent POIChannel Set database 140. - The mapping
database interface module 240 can provide an interface between themapping database 150 and themapping tile module 220. The mappingdatabase interface module 240 can accept amapping database 150 query from the mappingdatabase interface module 240 and provide the appropriate low level data communications to pass the query to themapping database 150. Upon themapping database 150 finding an appropriate match in response to a database query, the mappingdatabase interface module 240 provides the appropriate low level data communications to allow themapping server 130 to communicate with themapping database 150. -
