  • Patent number: 9784841
    Abstract: A method of determining the own-vehicle position of a motor vehicle having a navigation system fixedly installed in the motor vehicle includes the steps of: providing a mobile terminal having the suitability for self-localization; providing an interface for the communication-related link-up of the mobile terminal to the motor vehicle; determining the own-terminal position of the mobile terminal by self-localization; transmitting the own-terminal position by way of the interface to the motor vehicle; and taking into account the transmitted own-terminal position when determining the own-vehicle position.

  • Patent number: 8165805
    Abstract: In the case of a system for marking a region within an image of a road map detail displayed on a vehicle video screen, a regional location can first be selected by a control element. The region, which represents one of several administrative levels, can be constantly fixed via an enter function of the control element. The administrative level and thereby the size of the region can be changed by a rotational movement of the control element, which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 7840349
    Abstract: A navigation system has a display device for displaying a predefined maximal number of graphic driving lane objects. A control device is operatively configured such that the actual number of driving lanes of a street or road is determined, and only a maximal number of graphic driving lane objects is displayed on the display device when the maximal number is smaller than the actual number of driving lanes.

  • Patent number: 7698056
    Abstract: In the case of a method for the input of input data into a vehicle navigation device, by which input data are supplied to the vehicle navigation device by way of a receive interface and the input data are subjected to a plausibility check, in the event of a negative plausibility check, a prompt is emitted for correcting the input data. The input data can be corrected by a user via an operating device, and the corrected input data are imported into the vehicle navigation device.

  • Publication number: 20090240425
    Abstract: In the case of a system for marking a region within an image of a road map detail displayed on a vehicle video screen, the regions are shown in a circular shape. The center and the dimensions of the region can be changed by a control element, which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis and can be deflected transversely to the longitudinal axis. As a result of the transverse movement of the control element, the position of the center point and, as a result of the rotating movement of the control element, the dimensions of the region within the video screen, are adjustable.
