  • Publication number: 20100131198
    Abstract: A method for modifying navigation information is provided in the present invention. The method comprises steps of detecting a status information with respect to a moving carrier guiding by a navigating route; comparing the status information with a characteristic information corresponding to a characteristic point on the navigating route; and finally, determining whether the moving carrier is passing the characteristic point according to the comparing result and modifying the coordinate position of the carrier. In another embodiment, the present invention further provides a navigating apparatus comprising a sensing module for detecting the status of the moving carrier, a signal processing unit, and a storage unit for storing a map information. The signal processing unit comparing the status information to the characteristic information with respect to the characteristic point on the navigating route, and modifying the deviation of the moving carrier to the modify location according to the comparing result.

  • Publication number: 20090271113
    Abstract: A method for modifying navigation information for guiding the driver is provided in the present invention, in which attitude angle of a carrier at a specific location is detected and compared with an identifying information for judging whether the carrier is on a correct route or not. In another embodiment, the present invention further provides a navigation apparatus according the foregoing method, which comprises an inertia navigation unit, a satellite signal receiving unit, a database, and signal processing unit. The signal processing unit generates a navigation route in accordance with the start and destination and determines whether the attitude angle is conformed to the identifying information with respect to the specific location on the navigation route. If the attitude angle is not conformed to the identifying information, the signal processing unit remodifies the navigation route for the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20080158052
    Abstract: A positioning apparatus is disclosed, which comprises: a position detection module, including an inertial sensor, a magnetometer, and a global positioning device, being used for detection a movement of an object and thus generating a positioning signal accordingly; wherein the positioning signal is transmitted to a control unit and then to a signal processing device where it is being processed and converted into an angular/displacement signal to be transmitted to a monitoring device by way of a signal transmission device for enabling the monitoring device to track the movement of the object. In a preferred embodiment, both of the monitoring device and the signal transmission device are respectively being configured with a displaying unit for displaying the movement of the object. In addition, the positioning apparatus further comprises an identity module, for providing a unique identification code to the object to be used for identifying the same.
