NAVIGATION APPARATUS AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A navigation apparatus for use in a mobile carrier, comprising:
- a positioning module for receiving and analyzing positioning signals sent from satellites, so as to generate positioning information corresponding to the carrier;
an orienting module for analyzing an electromagnetic signal caused by activities of the carrier, so as to generate orienting information corresponding to the carrier;
a position sensing module for inferring a behavior mode of the carrier and performing error correction for the positioning information of the carrier according to the behavior mode;
an orientation sensing module for correcting the electromagnetic signal and performing cross validation for the corrected electromagnetic signal and the positioning information, so as to perform error correction for the orienting information of the carrier;
a map database for providing map information;
a data processing module for capturing a region map correspondingly from the map information according to the positioning information and the orienting information and generating a location tag corresponding to the carrier on the region map; and
a display module for displaying the region map and presenting the positioning information, the orienting information, and/or the location tag on the region map.

Abstract
A navigation apparatus and system provided on a mobile carrier performs error correction for positioning information and orienting information of the carrier through a position sensing module and an orientation sensing module and analyzes the corrected positioning information and orienting information by the usage of a route planning module, so as to generate corresponding route planning information, while simultaneously showing an instruction label having the route planning information correspondingly and a real image of the location surrounding the carrier. Thereby, the invention may provide not only an accurate carrier positioning function but also correct navigation information according to the behavior mode of a user.
