  • Communication-type navigation apparatus and server device
    Patent number: 6889134
    Abstract: A communication type navigation apparatus can communicate with a server device via a communication path. The navigation apparatus requests route search, and the server device executes route search to produce route information of a searched route. Then, the meshes necessary to travel along the searched route are determined, and the navigation apparatus obtains necessary mesh data from the server device. The navigation apparatus may request newer mesh data to the server device based on the updating information of the mesh data. By appropriately determining the mesh data to be and not to be downloaded from the server device, the communication cost necessary for obtaining the mesh data can be saved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2005
    Assignees: Pioneer Corporation, Increment P Corporation
    Inventors: Yuusuke Nakane, Atsuhiko Fukushima, Toyohiro Takenaka, Takashi Takenaga, Yuji Koga
  • Map data providing apparatus, map data installing terminal device, and communication-type navigation apparatus
    Patent number: 6868334
    Abstract: A certain amount of basic map data is installed into the map data storage medium in the navigation apparatus at the time of initial setting or the like (this process will be hereinafter referred to as “pre-install”), and thereafter the user connect to the map data providing center to download necessary data according to need. Thus, the present invention offers efficient method of obtaining map data in the communication-type navigation system.
