Patent number: 10168698Abstract: In one embodiment, an aerial collection system includes an image collection field vehicle that travels at street level and an image collection aerial vehicle that travels in the air above the street. The aerial vehicle collects image data including at least a portion of the field vehicle. The field vehicle includes a marker, which is identified from the collected image data. The marker is analyzed to determine an operating characteristic of the aerial vehicle. In one example, the operating characteristic in the marker includes information for a flight instruction for the aerial vehicle. In another example, the operating characteristic in the marker includes information for the three dimensional relationship between the vehicles. The three dimensional relationship is used to combine images collected from the air and images collected from the street level.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventor: Marco Tillmann

Patent number: 8375329Abstract: In a graphical user interface a display is animated by activation with an input device with a first concentric menu comprising a first grouping of menu items having a subset of one or more items from a set of menu items. Then, after selecting one menu item out of the first grouping of menu items, the display is animated with at least one additional grouping of menu items that are each concentrically in a pie sliced shape. The graphical user interface can be activated by a user at any position on the display area via the input device.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Maxon Computer GmbHInventors: David Samuel Drayton, Bernd Franz Lutz, Marco Tillmann
