  • Publication number: 20050149256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for determining the position in an environment and for detecting and updating landmarks (5 and 6) by means of information data (3) describing the environment. The device has a navigation system (2) for detecting a specific position in the environment. Modifications of movable landmarks (5), which are made by the device (1), are registered by the device (1) and the information data (3) describing the environment is modified. The device (1) can exchange information data on the environment with a based unit (8) via transmission and receiver devices (7, 9, 10 and 11).

  • Patent number: 6889136
    Abstract: A device, a method, an adjusting device, and a mobile system for providing location-dependent information. It is proposed to use a device (1) which utilizes a navigation system (2) to detect its own position within an environment in relation to a map (4), in order to reproduce the location-dependent information. The device has a reproduction device (3) for providing the information (I1 . . . Im) associated with the corresponding locations (P1 . . . Pn). To store the information, a storage medium (5) is provided either locally in the device or in a central data memory (9) of a server (7) that is separate from the device. The range (10) around a position (P1 . . . Pn) within which the information is to be provided is defined by parameters, such as by radius (11) and/or by sector (12). An adjusting device (13) with an input screen (14), for entering the parameters, is also preferably provided.
