Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for navigating a pedestrian tour including a processor circuit, a memory and a screen. The pedestrian tour includes a starting point, a first pedestrian tour zone and a second pedestrian tour zone, all of which are connected by a series of connecting paths. First and second suggested travel constraints, corresponding respectively with the first and second pedestrian tour zones, are stored in the memory. Responsive to determining that the pedestrian's actual travel within the first pedestrian tour zone will vary from the first suggested travel constraint, the processor circuit dynamically revises the second suggested travel constraint to permit the pedestrian user to execute the pedestrian tour in accordance with a preset target travel constraint for the pedestrian tour.

Abstract: A method and system that provides navigational related audio or haptic feedback to a user traversing a route by mapping an initial route for a user to traverse, the initial route having paths and intersections; determining a current location of the user; inputting a route characteristic change of the initial route; determining possible paths associated with an intersection for the user to traverse when the current location of the user is within the predetermined distance of the intersection; ranking the determined possible paths based upon the initial route and the inputted route characteristic change; determining the head direction of the user when the current location of the user is within the predetermined distance of an intersection; determining which of the possible paths corresponds to the calculated head direction of the user; and providing an audio/haptic cue to the user based upon the ranking of the determined possible path corresponding to the determined head direction of the user.
