Description
Technical field
But the present invention relates to the guider of the touch-screen control of show navigator data.This device especially is applied to onboard navigation system.
Background technology
Device based on GPS is widely known by the people, and is widely used in auto-navigation system.Can be with reference to the Navigator groupware from this assignee TomTom B.V..When this software is gone up operation at the PDA that is connected to the external GPS receiver (as Compaq iPaq), the user can will be set out and destination address input PDA.Best route between the computed in software two-end-point then, and how to show indication at this route running.By utilizing the locating information that obtains from the GPS receiver, software can be determined the position of PDA (being installed in usually on the panel board of automobile) by certain time interval, and can be on map the current location of display automobile, and the suitable navigation indication (for example, turning left) of demonstration (with quoting) at 100 meters.The figure of the action of indicating to realize (for example, left arrow represents that the place ahead turns left) can be presented on the status bar, and also is superimposed upon on suitable crossroad/turning on the road shown in the map itself etc.Also can the GPS receiver be incorporated in the calculation element of programming with map data base, and can on display, generate the device of navigation indication with reference to a kind of.Term " guider " is meant the device that the user can be navigate to intended destination.This device can have the built-in system that is used to receive locator data, as the GPS receiver, perhaps only can be connected to the receiver that can receive locator data.
PDA adopts touch-screen usually, so that the user can use dummy keyboard to come choice menus option or input text/numeral.Usually, because the size of each virtual key or other options is less relatively, mean use thin stylus (stylus) so touch input.When from about the screen navigation of the function of a kind of function using or a type during to function not of the same race or dissimilar function, because the touch control zone that is associated is less relatively, so supposition is to use stylus that virtual key, control panel, check box etc. are selected.
Yet for some other application, as calculator application, with respect to stylus, each numerical key may be selected even as big as using finger.Yet (for example, for QWERTY or other forms of all alphabetical dummy keyboards that have) has to use much smaller dummy keyboard when a large amount of keys need show simultaneously; So each key has to choose with stylus.Thereby one type of prior art syringe may mix the much smaller key on coexisting other screens at the big numerical key on the screen, even these keys have equal importance.Because what supposed is that the user uses stylus most of the time, thus, Core Feature be not for efficient and reliable finger manipulation by consistently, design as one man.
Summary of the invention
First aspect, providing a kind of utilizes map data base and can work out the guider that the software of route is programmed between two place that the user limits, wherein, further programming is so that belong to any function of Core Feature group and can both be associated with non-overlapped touch input field to this device, and this non-overlapped touch input field is even as big as activating reliably with finger.
Thereby, the present invention is based on one group of Core Feature of identification, and then make and can select/activate these functions reliably even as big as the reliable touch input field of activating by finger touch.This is particularly conducive to on-vehicle navigation apparatus, wherein, when this device was installed on the panel board, Core Feature was the function that those drivers activate possibly, and the driver touches (for example, being the place that road conditions allow static or actual mobile safe enough) forward when actual the driving.Preferably, Core Feature comprises the function that can not select or activate from same screen (that is, Core Feature is not limited to some key of showing simultaneously on display).Thereby Core Feature certainly exists in a plurality of different screens.
This user interaction approach is simpler, more flexible and more directly perceived than method of the prior art.

Embodiment
System survey
One embodiment of the present of invention are the software that is called Navigator of TomTom B.V..Navigator software moves on the touch-screen that Pocket PC is housed (being stylus control) formula PDA device, as Compaq iPaq.When PDA is connected with the GPS receiver, provide navigational system based on GPS.The system of the PDA of this combination and GPS receiver is designed to onboard navigation system.The present invention also can realize on the guider of any other configuration, as have a device of whole GPS receiver/computer/display, or be designed for the device that non-automobile uses (for example, the pedestrian uses), or other vehicles (as aircraft) except that automobile.This guider can use the location detecting technology of any kind, and is not restricted to GPS; Thereby this guider can use the GNSS (GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System)) of other types, as european galileo system (European Galileo system).Similarly, this guider also is not restricted to satellite-based position/velocity system, can make this device determine the system in its geographic position but can use equally based on the beacon on ground or any other.
When the Navigator running software is on PDA, just obtained guider, cause showing normal navigation mode screen as shown in Figure 1.This view uses the combination of text, symbol, sound guidance and moving map to provide and drives indication.The key user interface element is as follows: 2-D ground Fig. 1 has occupied most of screen.Illustrate user's automobile and its current surrounding environment, and rotate in the mode that the direction that automobile moves always " makes progress ".At the bottom of screen area operation is status bar 2.Utilize the conventional current position of the determined device of GPS position-finding by device itself, with and direction (inferring) from its travel direction represent with arrow 3.The route that is calculated by device (store in the use device storer, and be applied to the route calculation algorithm of the map datum that stores in the map data base in the device memory) is represented as the darkened path 4 of the arrow of the indication travel direction that superposeed.On darkened path 4, all mainly move (for example, turning, crossroad, round etc.) schematically show with the arrow 5 that covers route 4.Status bar 2 also comprises the synoptic diagram 6 that next action (being to turn right) is shown here at its left-hand side.Status bar 2 also illustrates the distance (promptly turn right, the distance here is 220 meters) of next one action, obtains (that is, all roads of route and the table of relevant action are selected in definition) the database of the whole piece route that this distance is calculated from device.Status bar 2 also illustrates the title 8 of current road, the estimated time 9 (being 2 minutes and 40 seconds) before arriving, estimates the actual time of arrival 10 (11:36am) and apart from the distance 11 (1.4Km) of destination here.Gps signal intensity is represented with the S meter 12 of mobile phone style.
If the center 13 of user's touch screen, then show navigator on-screen menu; Can be from other core navigation functions this menu startup or the control Navigator application program.Permission is from itself being easy to access the menu screen selection core navigation functions of (for example, being shown to menu screen as long as a step from map), and this has simplified user interactions significantly, and makes user interactions faster easier.
Need the area of the Petting Area that the user touches more much bigger based on the touch-screen system of stylus than great majority.Petting Area is designed to be even as big as selecting reliably with single finger, and need not be accurate especially; That is, simulated the reality of driver when driving a car; He or she sees the very fine screen that has the widgets icon few of time, more not free going accurately by one in these widgets icons.Thereby using the very big touch screen areas that is associated with given soft key (or the soft key of hiding, as the central authorities 13 at screen) is a deliberate design feature of present embodiment.Unlike other application based on stylus, this design feature uses in whole Navigator consistently, the Core Feature of selecting the driver may need when reality is driven.Thereby, in case give user's choice with choose on the screen icon (for example, control icons, or be used to import the key of the dummy keyboard of destination address), then the design of these icon/keys keeps simple, and it is so big with the finger selection significantly that the touch screen district that is associated is expanded to each icon/bond energy.In fact, the touch screen district area that is associated is at least 0.7cm
2Rank, and be generally square.Under normal navigation mode, this installs displayed map.(in other embodiments or any part of screen) near the screen center touch map (being touch sensitive dis-play) once (or in different embodiment, being twice) can access the navigation menu (see figure 3) that has corresponding to the large icons of various navigation features, for example be used to calculate alternative route and recomputate route to avoid the option of next crossing (useful when running into barrier or serious traffic jam); Or recomputate route to avoid road specific, that list.
Supplying with gps data except whole GPS receiver or from the external GPS receiver, the actual physical structure of device own can be as broad as long with any conventional handheld computer basically.Thereby, memory storage route calculation algorithm, map data base and user interface software; Microprocessor explains and process user input (for example the input of operative installations touch-screen is set out and destination address and every other control input), and uses route calculation algorithm and calculate optimal route." optimum " can refer to the standard such as shortest time or bee-line or some other user's correlative factor.
More particularly, the user uses dummy keyboard with standard mode its homeposition and expectation destination to be imported in the Navigator software that moves among the PDA.The user selects to calculate the mode of itinerary then: various patterns are provided, and as " fast (fast) " pattern, calculated route very apace, but this route may not be the shortest; " full (fully) " pattern investigate all possible route and find the shortest route, but this will spend longer Time Calculation etc.Other options can be arranged, allow the route of user definition scenery grace, for example, through maximum beautiful especially POI (points of interest pays close attention to the place) that are labeled as, or through the interested POI of maximum children or use minimum crossroad etc.
This is described to line road in map data base (this map data base is a part that operates in the Navigator among the PDA), be vector (for example, the starting point of road, terminal point, direction, entire road is made up of thousands of such parts, and each part all limits by start point/end point/direction parameter is unique).The road vectors that map comes to this adds and pays close attention to place (POI), adds road name, adds the set on other geographic entitys such as park boundaries, border, river etc., and all these is to limit according to vector.All map feature (for example, road vectors, POI etc.) limit in or the coordinate system that is associated corresponding with the gps coordinate system, and the setting position of determining by gps system can be positioned on the corresponding road shown on the map.
Route calculation is used complicated algorithm, and this algorithm is the part of Navigator software.This algorithm is used for to a large amount of possible different route marking.The standard (or device default value) that limits with the user of Navigator software then as full mode scan, landscape circuit, through the museum and there is not knotmeter, is assessed these routes.Calculate the route that meets limit standard most by the microprocessor among the PDA, be stored in then in the database among the RAM, save as a series of vectors, road name and the action that will do at the vector end points are (for example, every road along this route, corresponding to the distance that is predetermined, after 100 meters, turn left) to the x street.
Finger UI method for designing
The present invention makes each Core Feature be associated with a touch active region; This district is even as big as need not especially accurately selecting reliably with regard to available single finger.This has simulated the reality of driver when driving a car; He or she sees the very fine screen that has the widgets icon few of time, more not freely removes accurately to press one of them widgets icon.
This UI design feature is applied among the whole Navigator 2.0 consistently, and the related Core Feature of all definition, rather than the design of screen allows to show big control icons by chance, thereby, in case give user's choice (for example to select icon on the present screen, that be associated with Core Feature, control icons, or the key of dummy keyboard, with the input destination address), then the design of these icon/keys can keep simply, and it is so big with the finger selection significantly that the touch screen district that is associated is expanded to each icon/bond energy.And in case screen comprises selectable graphical options (as icon, name, check box etc.), then each option in these options is associated with a non-overlapped touch input field, and this input field is even as big as activating reliably with finger.
Therefore, this device can not presented to the mixing of the optional graphical options that the user is associated with Core Feature in the different time, and this mixing is some even as big as activating reliably with finger, and some too little stylus that need activate.Key is that user interaction design may need to activate what Core Feature based on analysis when the driver drives, and guarantees that these Core Features can activate by the option of selecting be linked to very large touch-screen active region (for example, large icons).The UI method for designing of prior art can not be discerned Core Feature consistently and handle them with this side.
In fact, the touch screen zone that is associated is minimum to be 0.7cm
2(much larger than the normal touch screen active region), and be generally square.
An example of consistently using the Core Feature of this method comprises:
(i) in the superlative degree of menu level to moving between the next stage;
(ii) from normal navigation mode screen tasks call away to;
(iii) select to start the option of route re-computation function;
Current location (iv) is set for being labeled in the position on the map;
This method can be illustrated in context.At first, start the function of calculating alternative route for the ease of visit, by on menu screen, being provided for these functions (or the mode or the option of the permission function selecting of any other kind, as tabulation, check box etc.) the graphical icon menu realize, wherein, this menu screen is easy to from leading boat screen access, that is, and and the screen (Fig. 1 or 2) of this screen in reality or simulated/preview navigation, showing.As mentioned above, in normal navigation mode, this device shows the cartoon map that this guider position is shown along with advancing of route.Touch map (being touch inductive display screen) once (or in different application, being secondary) (or in other are used, being any part of screen) near the screen center, then will access Recalculate (recomputating) menu (see figure 3), the corresponding various routes of top large icons recomputate function, as calculating the option of alternative route; Recomputate route next section (useful when running into barrier or serious traffic jam) to avoid road; And recomputate route to avoid the specific road of listing.Suitable icon starts these alternative route function in the Recalculate menu screen by touching (this is a user interactions, as screen touch, and the navascreen of switching standards pattern).Can have access to other routes in the more deep layer of menu structure and recomputate function.Yet, all functions all can arrive as option access such as icon, tabulation, check boxes by selection, these options are related significantly with touch screen zone, and touch screen zone is selected with finger tip in safe driving even as big as allowing the user, and area is at least 0.7cm usually

Dummy keyboard
As mentioned above, a key feature is all to use big touch screen areas for each icon, is used for starting the Core Feature that the driver may need at driving procedure.This method also is used for the key (for example, ABCD, as shown in Figure 4, forms such as QWETY) of dummy keyboard.Because this device can show big alphabetic keypad, go up keyboard much larger than PDA based on standard screen, this allows the easier input text of user, and device need not be taken out from support or takes off from panel board, even can use finger rather than stylus.
Optimal size on iPaq (240 * 320 pixels, or 106 pixel per inchs, every centimetre of 48 pixel) is:
The QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard image:
Level interval: 25 pixel centers are to center (button is to button)
Vertical interval: 32 pixel centers are to center (button is to button)
The ABC keyboard image:
Level interval: 40 pixel centers are to the center
Vertical interval: 32 pixel centers are to the center
Annotate: the numeric keypad image is (little key and big key have) of mixing.And, the little pixels of comparable other keys of some keys (for attractive in appearance), so center to center can be different from key to key.
The size of single key is that unit is (wide, a height) with the pixel:
36 * 28 (ABC keyboard images)
21 * 28 (QWERTY/ASERTY keyboard images)
46 * 28 (arrow keys in the QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard image)
70 * 28 (space/backspace keys in the QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard image)
Annotate: some keys may lack a pixel (for attractive in appearance) than the width of other keys
The general image size (wide, height) of different keyboards is as follows:
240 * 155 (ABC keyboard images)
240 * 155 (qwerty keyboard images)
240 * 155 (AZERTY keyboard images)
240 * 62 (2 row NUM/ arrow key images)
240 * 31 (1 row arrow key images)
Annotate: comprising the lay edges of 1-3 pixel.
Above size can show soft keyboard like this: when device was installed on the panel board support, when driving a car, the user can be easily with a finger manipulation, and departs from very much driving without notice.
The tolerance value of above-mentioned size is approximately 25% (plus or minus).
The road point
If the driver is through interested place (when for example driving) in the road, then he can preserve current location with a very simple action, and as the zone that limits in advance on the rapid double tap screen, the current automobile position of going up to show such as device is the 0.7cm at center
2Zone (or by the order of sounding).In the database of road point, store a mark like this; Come down to the coordinate of this interested position.Even this is another user is to utilize touch screen zone to activate the example of Core Feature (current location is designated the road point) even as big as allowing finger selection reliably in driving.The available POI of road point (pointof interest pays close attention to the place) iconic marker itself is on map.After, the user can give and use its (or even mark and preserve it) for change.For example, if be labeled as POI on map, then the user can select this POI on map, and this can open a mark window, and the user can be to the inside typing text (for example, " having a good bookstore here ").
