Abstract
A method and device are provided to determine a location corresponding to an entry in a database stored in an electronic device; determine a current position of the electronic device; obtain navigational information from the current position to the location; and provide the navigational information to a user.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- determining a location corresponding to an entry in a database stored in an electronic device;
- determining a current position of the electronic device;
- obtaining navigational information from the current position to the location;
- and
- providing the navigational information to a user.
2 more elements
A device comprising:
- a location-determining unit to determine a location associated with an entry in a database;
- a position detection unit to detect a current position of the device;
- a navigational unit to determine navigational information from the current position to the location;
- and
- an output unit to output the navigational information to a person.
2 more elements
Apparatus comprising
- a processing system, and
- a memory coupled to the processing system, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processing system cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
- determining a location corresponding to an entry in a database stored in an electronic device;
- determining a current position of the electronic device;
- obtaining navigational information to the location from the current position;
- and
- providing the navigational information to a user.
4 more elements
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which when executed by a processing system cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
- determining a location corresponding to an entry in a user's schedule;
- determining a current position of the electronic device;
- obtaining navigational information to the location from the current position;
- and
- providing the navigational information to a user.
2 more elements
An electronic device comprising:
- means for determining a location associated with an entry in a database stored in the electronic device;
- means for detecting a current position of the electronic device;
- means for determining navigational information from the current position to the location;
- and
- means for outputting the navigational information to a user.
