Abstract

What is described is a motor vehicle ignition key and a method including a movement sensor for detecting the movement of the motor vehicle ignition key, a motor vehicle navigation device, and a method including a calculator for calculating a driving route in dependence of movement data, and a motor vehicle system and a method including a motor vehicle ignition key and a motor vehicle controller.

Claims

1. A motor vehicle navigation device comprising:

an interface configured to receive movement data describing a movement of a motor vehicle user and detected by an external sensor worn by the motor vehicle user; and

a calculator configured to calculate a driving route while taking into account the movement data received by the interface and detected by the external sensor.

2. The motor vehicle navigation device as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the calculator is configured to one of

propose to the motor vehicle user, in dependence on the movement data, a destination in the vicinity of or at a distance from a destination desired by the motor vehicle user, so that the motor vehicle user may cover a distance to reach the desired destination;

propose to the motor vehicle user sport activities offered in the area; and

propose to the motor vehicle user a walk instead of a driving route to the desired destination.

3. The motor vehicle navigation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the calculator is configured to classify the movement data received by the interface and detected by the external sensor, using a set of classes of activity comprising two or more of the group consisting of resting, sitting down, standing up, lying down, walking, jogging, running, cycling, climbing down stairs, and climbing up stairs, and to perform the calculation of the driving route depending on the classification.

4. The motor vehicle navigation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the interface is configured to receive the movement data in a format which describes the movement of the motor vehicle user using a set of classes of activity comprising two or more of the group consisting of resting, sitting down, standing up, lying down, walking, jogging, running, cycling, climbing down stairs, and climbing up stairs, and the calculator is configured to perform the calculation of the driving route depending on the format.

5. A method comprising:

a) receiving movement data, captured by an external sensor, of a motor vehicle user by means of an interface of a motor vehicle navigation device;

b) calculating a driving route using a unit of the motor vehicle navigation device while taking into account the received movement data.

6. A motor vehicle navigation system comprising

an external sensor to be worn by a motor vehicle user and configured to detect a movement of the motor vehicle user;

a motor vehicle navigation device comprising;

an interface configured to receive movement data describing the movement of the motor vehicle user; and

a calculator configured to calculate a driving route while taking into account the movement data.

7. The motor vehicle navigation system according to claim 6, wherein the external sensor comprises:

a memory configured to record the movement data; and

an output interface configured to output the movement data from the memory to the interface of the motor vehicle navigation device.

8. The motor vehicle navigation system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the external sensor is integrated into a motor vehicle ignition key.

9. The motor vehicle navigation system as claimed in claim 6,

wherein the external sensor comprises a 3D acceleration sensor;

or

wherein the external sensor comprises a 3D acceleration sensor and a pressure sensor for altitude detection.

10. The motor vehicle navigation system as claimed in claim 6,

further comprising a device for displaying a presentation of the movement data to the motor vehicle user.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium including a computer program for performing, when the computer program is executed on a processor, a method comprising the steps of:

a) receiving movement data, captured by an external sensor, of a motor vehicle user by means of an interface of a motor vehicle navigation device;

b) calculating a driving route using a unit of the motor vehicle navigation device while taking into account the received movement data.
