Navigation Device With Adaptive Navigation Instructions
First Claim
1. Navigation device arranged to give navigation instructions to a driver of a vehicle, said navigation device comprising:
- a route calculation module, arranged to determine a route from an origin to a destination;
an instructions module, arranged to produce a set of base instructions for the driver to enable the driver to travel the determined route;
a profile module, arranged to build up at least one profile; and
a profile-to-instruction translator, arranged to convert the produced set of base instructions into a set of output instructions depending on said built up at least one profile.

Abstract
A navigation device is disclosed wherein, in at least one embodiment. navigation instruction are adapted to the driver preferences. The driving behaviour of the driver is recorded (like speed, time to prepare for an exit etc.), and the way he responds to navigation instructions (promptly, or always too late for example). Traffic, weather and time information may be combined with information on the driving behaviour of the driver. This information is examined and used to build up a driver profile. This driver profile is used to adapt future navigation instructions. Alternatively, traffic and weather information may be used to build up route and/or environmental profiles. These profiles can also be used separate from the driver profile to adjust the navigation instruction. The combination of these two techniques, building up a profile (or adapt a pre-defined profile) and adapt the navigation instructions, makes the navigation device a more personal-fit navigation aid. Also, giving the right instructions to a specific driver may contribute to a safer behaviour.
