Abstract
A tidal information display device for a movable body includes a position measurement module configured to detect a position of the movable body, a geographical information selection module configured to determine geographic information to be displayed on a display screen based on the detected position, a tidal information module configured to receive and store tidal information based on the detected position, and a tidal information display module configured to generate display data for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) at a predetermined position on the display screen. The GUI is configured for showing the tidal information including at least one of: a present height of a tide, a high tide time, a low tide time, and a position of the tide.
Claims18
A tidal information display device for a movable body, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured:
- to detect a position of the movable body;
- to determine geographic information to be displayed on a display screen based on the detected position;
- to receive and store tidal information based on the detected position;
- to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) corresponding to a predetermined position of a tide on the display screen;
- to superimpose the GUI on an image, captured by an image sensor, at the predetermined position on the display screen;
- and
- to generate display data for displaying the GUI superimposed on the image at the predetermined position on the display screen, wherein
- the GUI includes a gauge that displays a present height of the tide, a high tide time, a low tide time, and indicates a position of the tide, including a graphical representation of an upwards or downwards moving direction of the tide.
An augmented reality (AR) based navigation apparatus for a movable body, comprising:
- an image sensor attached onto the movable body, the image sensor being configured to capture an image and output image data;
- and
- processing circuitry configured:
- to detect a position of the movable body;
- to determine the image to be displayed on a display screen based on the detected position;
- to receive and store tidal information based on the detected position;
- to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) corresponding to a predetermined position of a tide on the display screen;
- to superimpose the GUI on an image, captured by the image sensor, at the predetermined position on the display screen;
- and
- to generate display data for displaying the GUI superimposed on the image at the predetermined position on the display screen, wherein
- the GUI includes a gauge that displays a present height of the tide, a high tide time, a low tide time, and indicates a position of the tide, including a graphical represenation of an upwards or downwards moving direction of the tide.
A method for displaying tidal information for a movable body, on an image displayed on a display screen, comprising:
- capturing an image by an image sensor attached to a movable body;
- detecting a position of the movable body;
- determining the image to be displayed on a display screen based on the detected position;
- receiving and storing tidal information based on the detected position;
- generating a graphical user interface (GUI) corresponding to a predetermined position of a tide on the display screen;
- superimposing the GUI on the image at the predetermined position on the display screen;
- and
- generating display data for displaying the GUI on the superimposed image at the predetermined position on the display screen, wherein
- the GUI includes a gauge that displays a present height of the tide, a high tide time, a low tide time, and indicates a position of the tide, including a graphical representation of an upwards or downwards moving direction of the tide.
