Method and apparatus for modification of vehicular navigation information
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- in a terrestrial vehicle, providing navigation information that is at least partially based upon previously stored navigation information;
in the terrestrial vehicle, receiving a radio frequency transmission that is compliant with a roadside information service to provide received information;
detecting an information conflict between the navigation information and the received information;
in response to detecting the information conflict automatically at least partially modifying at least one of the navigation information and the received information to provide resultant information;
providing information at least partially based upon the resultant information to a user.

Abstract
Substantive informational conflicts as between navigation information provided by an in-vehicle navigation unit (101) and an in-vehicle roadside information service receiver (107) are detected (203). When detected, information from one source or the other is modified (207). Such modification can include alteration and/or deletion of one information item or the other. The modification can alleviate the conflict and/or otherwise provide alternative information to a user of the vehicle to support journey goals.

38. An apparatus for use in a terrestrial vehicle comprising:
-
navigation means in the terrestrial vehicle for providing navigation information that is at least partially based upon previously stored navigation information;
radio means in the terrestrial vehicle for receiving radio frequency transmissions that are compliant with a roadside information service to provide received information;
detection means operably connected to the navigation means and the radio means for detecting an information conflict between the navigation information and the received information;
response means operably connected to the detection means, the navigation means, and the radio means and being responsive to detection of the information conflict for automatically at least partially modifying at least one of the navigation information and the received information to provide resultant information;
user interface means operably connected to the response means for providing at least part of the resultant information to a user in the terrestrial vehicle.
