  • Patent number: 6792349
    Abstract: A remote consumer service center calculates traveling routes for a car and selects a geo area that covers the traveling routes. The geo area is defined by two boundary points, and divided by a pair of 2D grid number into multiple geo zones each respectively defined with a pair of 2D index. The remote consumer service center sends the boundary points, the pair of 2D grid number, and multiple pairs of 2D indexes of traveling zones corresponding to the traveling routes to an On-Board Unit of the car wirelessly. The On-Board Unit rebuilds a 2D grillwork according to the boundary points and the pair of 2D grid number, and then displays on a display together with multiple traveling grids and a current grid, enabling the driver to find the forward direction himself. The remote consumer service center can synchronously display a monitoring 2D grillwork to guide the car moving.

  • Publication number: 20040167711
    Abstract: A simple navigation system is disclosed in which a remote customer service center calculates an optimal route and selects a geo area covering all traveling routes of the optimal route. The geo area is defined by two boundary points, and equally divided by a pair of 2D grid number into multiple geo zones each defined with a respective pair of 2D index. The remote customer service center sends the two boundary points, the pair of 2D grid number, and multiple pairs of 2D indexes of traveling zones arranged orderly from a starting point to a destination to a car wirelessly. The car reconstructs a 2D grillwork with two boundary points, divides the 2D grillwork subject to the 2D grid number, defines each grid a pair of 2D index, and fines a guiding direction by comparing the pairs of 2D indexes of the current grid and the next traveling grid.
