Apparatus and method transitioning between driving states during navigation for highly automated vechicle
First Claim
1. A navigation apparatus for an autonomous vehicle comprising:
- circuitry configured todetermine a plurality of routes between a start location and a destination,identify characteristics for each of the plurality of routes, each characteristic associated with at least one route of the plurality of routes and a corresponding measure,divide each route of the plurality of routes into segments based on the characteristics,determine longest blocks within each route, the longest blocks corresponding to a longest segment of the respective routes along which the characteristics associated with the respective routes can be performed continuously, said each characteristic identifying a state a driver of the autonomous vehicle can occupy while the autonomous vehicle is travelling to the destination,display the segmented plurality of routes, for each route the display including the characteristics associated with the route, the corresponding measure, and the corresponding longest blocks, anddisplay a real-time route selected from the plurality of routes by the driver of the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract
A navigation apparatus for an autonomous vehicle includes circuitry configured to receive at least one route between a start location and a destination, display the at least one route on a first screen that allows selection of a first set of routes from the at least one route, receive a plurality of characteristics corresponding to each of the at least one route. Each characteristic of the plurality of characteristics is associated with a measure and a longest block within which each characteristic can be performed continuously. The circuitry further configured to divide a route of the at least one route to generate a plurality of segments based on the plurality of characteristics, and display the first set of routes, the plurality of characteristics corresponding to the first set of routes, the measure and the longest block corresponding to the plurality of characteristics on a second screen.

13. A method for navigation of an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining a plurality of routes between a start location and a destination; identifying characteristics for each of the plurality of routes, each characteristic associated with at least one route of the routes and a corresponding measure; dividing, using processing circuitry, each route of the plurality of routes into segments based on the characteristics; determining, using, the processing circuitry, longest blocks within each route, the longest blocks corresponding to a longest segment of the respective routes along which the characteristics associated with the respective routes can be performed continuously, said each characteristic identifying a state a driver of the autonomous vehicle can occupy while the autonomous vehicle is travelling to the destination; displaying, using the processing circuitry, the segmented plurality of routes, for each route the display including the characteristics associated with the route, the corresponding measure, and the corresponding longest blocks; and displaying, using the processing circuitry, a real-time route selected from the plurality of routes by the driver of the autonomous vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method for navigation of an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining a plurality of routes between a start location and a destination; identifying characteristics for each of the plurality of routes, each characteristic associated with at least one route of the plurality of routes and a corresponding measure; dividing, using processing circuitry, each route of the plurality of routes into segments based on the characteristics; determining, using, the processing circuitry, longest blocks within each route, the longest blocks corresponding to a longest segment of the respective routes along which the characteristics associated with the respective routes can be performed continuously, said each characteristic identifying a state a driver of the autonomous vehicle can occupy while the autonomous vehicle is travelling to the destination; displaying, using the processing circuitry, the segmented plurality of routes, for each route the display including the characteristics associated with the route, the corresponding measure, and the corresponding longest blocks; and displaying, using the processing circuitry, a real-time route selected from the plurality of routes by the driver of the autonomous vehicle.
