VEHICLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of operating a navigation system in a vehicle comprising:
- receiving traffic information data;
determining a travel route on which the vehicle is moving;
analyzing the traffic information data to detect a relevant event relating to the travel route on which the vehicle moves; and
outputting a navigation information to a vehicle user only if a relevant event is detected.

Abstract
A navigation system is provided in a vehicle. The navigation system operates using a dedicated operating mode for generating navigation information and outputting such information to the vehicle user when a relevant event has occurred. The navigation system includes a positioning device for determining the vehicle position with respect to a digital map representation and for generating a corresponding position data signal, a traffic monitoring device for receiving traffic information data and analyzing the traffic information data so as to detect a relevant event relating to a travel route on which the vehicle moves, where the traffic monitoring device generates a corresponding traffic monitoring data signal. The system includes a processing unit for generating navigation information based on the position data signal and/or the traffic monitoring data signal, and an output device for outputting the navigation information to a vehicle user.

21. A vehicle comprising:
-
a navigation system; and
a traffic information data receiver for providing a traffic information data signal to the navigation system;
where the navigation system includes;
a positioning device for determining the vehicle position with respect to a digital map representation and for generating a data signal corresponding to the vehicle position;
a traffic monitoring device for receiving traffic information data and analyzing the traffic information data to detect a relevant event relating to a travel route on which the vehicle moves where the traffic monitoring device generates a traffic monitoring signal corresponding to the relevant event;
a processing system for generating navigation information based on the position data signal and/or the traffic monitoring data signal;
an output device for outputting the navigation information to a vehicle user;
where the processing system provides a dedicated operating mode in which the navigation information is output to the vehicle user only if a relevant event is detected by the traffic monitoring device. - View Dependent Claims (22)
