TECHNIQUE FOR SIGNALLING TELEPHONE CALLS DURING A ROUTE GUIDANCE
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a signalling of incoming telephone calls during a route guidance, comprising the following steps:
- detecting an incoming telephone call;
determining a distance to a forthcoming route reference point or to an output of a forthcoming manoeuvre instruction on a predetermined route in response to the detected telephone call; and
delaying the signalling of the incoming telephone call until a manoeuvre instruction has been output if the determined distance to the forthcoming route reference point or to the output of the forthcoming manoeuvre instruction falls short of a predetermined first threshold value, wherein the manoeuvre instruction that is output comprises a modified instruction in the form of an abbreviated instruction with respect to an originally intended manoeuvre instruction.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a technique for controlling the signalling of incoming telephone calls during a route guidance by means of a navigation device. A method aspect includes the steps of detecting an incoming telephone call, determining a distance to a forthcoming manoeuvre instruction or route reference point on a predetermined route in response to the detected telephone call, and delaying the incoming telephone call until a manoeuvre instruction has been output if the determined distance to the forthcoming manoeuvre instruction or route reference point falls short of a predetermined threshold value.

18. An apparatus for controlling a signalling of incoming telephone calls during a route guidance, comprising:
-
a device for detecting an incoming telephone call; a device for determining a distance to a forthcoming route reference point or to an output of a forthcoming manoeuvre instruction on a predetermined route in response to the detected telephone call; a delay device that has been set up to delay the signalling of the incoming telephone call until a manoeuvre instruction has been output if the determined distance to the forthcoming route reference point or to the output of the forthcoming manoeuvre instruction falls short of a predetermined first threshold value; and a device for modifying a manoeuvre instruction, the modified manoeuvre instruction corresponding to an instruction that has been abbreviated with respect to an originally intended manoeuvre instruction. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
