Abstract
In one embodiment, dynamic natural guidance is generated for a route between an origin and a destination. A controller receives data indicative of a location of the mobile device and data indicative of at least one movable object detected in a vicinity of the mobile device. The data indicative of at least one movable object may be collected by a camera and analyzed. The analysis may include one or more of image processing techniques, temporal measurement, and tracking of movable objects. The controller generates a guidance command based on the location of the mobile device. The guidance command references the at least one movable object detected in the vicinity of the mobile device.
Claims20
A method for providing natural guidance on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving data indicative of a location of the mobile device;
- receiving data indicative of at least one movable object detected in a vicinity of the mobile device;
- and
- generating, using a processor, a guidance command based on the location of the mobile device, wherein the guidance command references the at least one movable object detected in the vicinity of the mobile device.
A navigation apparatus comprising:
- a memory including computer program code;
- a processor configured to execute the computer program code to cause the navigation apparatus to:
- determine identities of a plurality of movable objects in a vicinity of the navigation apparatus;
- track movements of the plurality of movable objects over time;
- analyze the identities of the plurality of movable objects and the movements of the plurality of movable objects;
- select a landmark from the plurality of movable objects;
- and
- generate a guidance command based on the location of the navigation device and a location of the landmark, wherein the guidance command references the landmark.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed are operable to:
- receive, at a processor, data indicative of a current location;
- receive, at the processor, camera data indicative of a movable object in a vicinity of the current location;
- and
- generating, using the processor, a guidance command based on the current location, wherein the guidance command references the movable object in the vicinity of the current location.
