Process for Operating a Route Acquisition System and a Route Acquisition System
First Claim
1. A process for operating a route acquisition system having a route acquisition unit and a data memory operably configured for determining route data during a movement of the route acquisition system along preset routes and for storing the preset routes in the form of electronic routes in a data memory, the process comprising the acts of:
- during a preset first operation of the route acquisition system, as a function of the electronic routes stored in the data memory, a preset selection of routes is determined;
for each route of the preset selection, a number of essentially coinciding routes of the preset selection and a route point in time, which is representative of a point in time at which the route acquisition system was moved along the preset route, and a first route time indication relative to a first time unit as a function of the route point in time, and a second route time indication relative to a second time unit as a function of the route point in time, are determined;
a route evaluation is determined for each route of the preset selection as a function of the assigned number of routes and the assigned route point in time and the assigned first and second route time indication;
each route of the preset selection is marked with the assigned determined route evaluation;
during a preset second operation of the route acquisition system, a size of an occupied storage space of the data memory is determined; and
as a function of the determined size of the occupied storage space, the respective route of the preset selection is deleted from the data memory as a function of its assigned route evaluation.

Abstract
A process is provided for operating a route acquisition system, configured for determining route data during movement of the route acquisition system along preset routes, and for storing the latter as electronic routes in the data memory. A preset selection of routes is determined as a function of the stored electronic routes. For each route of the preset selection, a route count and a route point in time, and a first and a second route time indication, are determined. A route evaluation is determined for each route based on the assigned route count, the assigned route point in time, and the first and second route time indication. As a function of a determined size of the occupied storage space of the data memory, the respective route of the preset selection is deleted from the data memory as a function of its assigned route evaluation.

14. A route acquisition system, comprising:
-
a route acquisition unit; a data memory, the route acquisition unit and data memory being operably configured for determining route data during a movement of the route acquisition system along preset routes and for storing the preset routes in the form of electronic routes in the data memory, the route acquisition system being further operably configured to; during a preset first operation, as a function of the electronic routes stored in the data memory, determining a preset selection of routes; determining, for each route of the preset selection, a number of essentially coinciding routes of the preset selection and a route point in time, which is representative of a point in time at which the route acquisition system was moved along the preset route, and a first route time indication relative to a first time unit as a function of the route point in time, and a second route time indication relative to a second time unit as a function of the route point in time; determining a route evaluation for each route of the preset selection as a function of the assigned route count and the assigned route point in time and the assigned first and second route time indication; marking each route of the preset selection with the assigned determined route evaluation; and during a preset second operation, determining a size of an occupied storage space of the data memory, and as a function of the determined size of the occupied storage space, deleting the respective route of the preset selection from the data memory as a function of its assigned route evaluation.

15. A process for operating a route acquisition system having a route acquisition unit and a data memory operably configured for acquiring, based on a respectively preset starting position, route data during a movement of the route acquisition system along a respectively preset route and storing the preset route in the form of an electronic route in the data memory, wherein:
-
it is determined whether the route acquisition system has reached a preset destination position; as a function of the reaching of the preset destination position, those route data are determined from the data memory which were acquired during the movement of the route acquisition system; as a function of the preset starting and destination position and the determined route data, a comparison route is determined as a function of preset navigation data; comparison route data of the determined comparison route are compared with the determined route data; and as a function of the comparison, one or more determined route data are corrected. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A route acquisition system comprising:
-
a route acquisition unit; a data memory, the route acquisition unit and data memory being operably configured for acquiring, based on a respectively preset starting position, route data during a movement of the route acquisition system along a respectively preset route and storing the preset route in the form of an electronic route in the data memory, the route acquisition system being further operably configured to; determine whether a preset destination position was reached; determine, as a function of the reaching of the preset destination position, those route data which were acquired during the movement of the route acquisition system; determine, as a function of the preset starting and destination position and the determined route data, a comparison route, as a function of preset navigation data; compare comparison route data of the determined comparison route with the determined route data; and as a function of the comparison, correcting one or more determined route data.
