  • Patent number: 8225201
    Abstract: A graphic output device for generating a mixed graphic-textual depiction having at least one text object consisting of multiple letters for identifying a geographic feature, the output device comprising a processor unit, which is set up to reshape the text object in such a manner that the reshaped text object comprises, in addition to a normal text area having letters in the original size, a compressed text area having letters shrunken and/or compressed in relation to the original size, the boundary between the normal text area and the compressed text area running along a semantic jump point of the text object. A method for preparing a text object consisting of multiple letters using a processor unit, for the purpose of depicting the text object using a graphic output device.

  • Patent number: 6360162
    Abstract: The invention describes an efficient transmission of data for making possible an accurate reconstruction of a path driven by a vehicle in a traffic network, a terminal unit, a central bureau and a process for informing (13) a central bureau (107) about a path, in particular for informing a central traffic bureau about a path traveled by a vehicle (101) with a terminal unit in a traffic network, wherein location data representing the respective location of the terminal unit (102) is repeatedly detected by a terminal unit (102) with a location detection device (20), wherein reference points (108 to 112) are defined at a plurality of locations by the terminal unit on the traveled path based on criteria present in the terminal unit, wherein reference point information relating to these reference points (108 to 112) is transmitted (13) from the terminal unit (102) to the central bureau (107).
