Patent number: 11326895Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing information to guide a user along a determined route to a destination through a navigable network using a navigation apparatus. The method comprises obtaining, using instructive data, a next manoeuvre to be made by the user and a distance to the next manoeuvre from a current position of the navigation apparatus. The method further comprises determining, using informative data, whether there is at least one event within a predetermined distance of the current position of the navigation apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignees: TOMTOM INTERNATIONAI B.V., TOMTOM NAVIGATION B.V.Inventors: Tomasz Pluciennik, Sonja Radenkovic, David Guiza Caicedo, Jose Carlos Silva Da Torre, Cornelis Klaas Van Dok, Andreia Cristina Ferreira Da Costa, Katarzyna Anna Kaczmarek, Daan Dirk Oostveen, Alexey Opokin

Patent number: 10654489Abstract: A method of operating a controller of a vehicle human machine interface (HMI) is disclosed, comprising: providing first output control signals configured to cause a vehicular head up display (HUD) to present first content to a vehicle operator; and providing second output control signals configured to cause a vehicular digital cluster display (DCD) to present second content to the vehicle operator, different to the first content. The method can further comprise the receiving input control signals from a touch sensitive steering wheel, for interacting with the information presented on the HUD and/or DUD. A related apparatus, vehicular HMI and computer software, are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: TOMTOM GLOBAL CONTENT B.V.Inventors: Simone Francine Tertoolen, Hubertus Jacobus Maria Nijssen, Cornelis Klaas van Dok

Patent number: 10612935Abstract: A method of providing information relating to a path being travelled using a navigation apparatus, involves displaying a path bar including a linear representation of at least a portion of a path to be travelled using a navigation apparatus. The linear representation of the portion of the path is scrollable in the display window by a user to reveal a linear representation of another portion of the path. The method may involve automatically increasing a scale of the linear representation of the path displayed as a given location represented along the path is approached, wherein the location is a location of a safety camera or event affecting traffic flow along the path.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: TOMTOM NAVIGATION B.V.Inventors: Cornelis Klaas van Dok, Sijtse Thomas Goverts

Patent number: 10168171Abstract: A plurality of routes through a navigable network represented by an electronic map are stored by a navigation device. Each route is defined as a plurality of point locations to be travelled between in a predefined order. The device receives a selection of one of the plurality of stored routes from a user, and determines a minimum cost path along segments of the electronic map between the plurality of point locations of the selected route. The minimum cost path traverses the plurality of point locations in an order based on the predefined order associated with the selected route. The device then outputs a set of navigation instructions to the user for guiding the user along the route.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2014Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: TOMTOM NAVIGATION B.V.Inventors: Cornelis Klaas van Dok, Jeroen Razoux Schultz, Bram Jan Jacobus van der Vlist, Ewgenij Gawrilow
