Abstract: A method, a device and a computer readable medium are disclosed for navigation. The method includes determining map information for display on an integrated input and display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; and differentiating at least a portion of the map information within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel, from other map information, to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel. The navigation device includes a processor to determine map information for subsequent display, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device, the processor further being useable to control display of at least a portion of the map information, determined to be within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel, in a manner differentiated from display of other map information, to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for generating a display image including a map view and route information, the map view being a three dimensional perspective elevation view. In at least one embodiment, the method includes: determining, from height information associated with a map object to be displayed in the display image, whether the object obscures a line of sight to the route information in the three dimensional perspective elevation; and displaying the map object in a format that is dependent on whether the map object is determined to obscure the line of sight.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for navigation. In at least one embodiment, the method includes determining map information for display on an integrated input and display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; displaying the determined map information, in three dimensions on the integrated input and display device of the navigation device; and displaying, along with the determined map information, a static image of a location along the determined route of travel on the integrated input and display device of the navigation device when the navigation device is determined to be within a threshold distance of the location.

Abstract: The invention provides a communication device for emulating a behavior of a navigation device in response to executing a device firmware program installed on the navigation device. The communication device comprises a provider for providing information relating to the device firmware program, a determiner for determining whether a current firmware program installed on the communication device corresponds to the device firmware program installed on the navigation device and a processor for executing the current firmware program on the communication device in order to emulate the behavior of the navigation device if the current firmware program corresponds to the device firmware.

Abstract: The invention provides a processing device for detecting a certain computer command in a string of characters representing a uniform resource identifier, the certain command comprising a predefined command header, the command header being followed by a command name from a plurality of predefined command names. The processing device comprises a determiner for determining whether the string of characters comprises the predefined command header, the determiner being further configured to determine whether a sub-string of characters following the command header comprises the command name if the string of characters comprises the predefined command header and a provider for providing the predefined command header and the command name if the command header comprises a command name as the certain computer command.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for providing certain information to a network entity from a further network entity with transmitting a request for the certain information from the network entity via a communication network to the further network entity and transmitting time information from the further network entity to the network entity via the communication network, the time information indicating a certain time instant at which to connect to the further network entity for obtaining the certain information.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for providing a cryptographically signed command, the command comprising a command name and at least one command argument with generating a cryptographic signature of the command name and composing the cryptographically signed command using the command name, the signature and the at least one command argument.

Abstract: The invention provides a communication device with a programmably arranged first means, a programmably arranged second means and a programmably arranged third means. The programmably arranged first means requests the programmably arranged second means to transmit the certain command to a non-existing network address, wherein the programmably arranged second means informs the programmably arranged third means about the request to transmit the certain command. The programmably arranged third means executes the certain command in response to the information indicating the request.
