1. A pedestrian route navigation system (“
- PRNS”
) in a vehicle for determining a pedestrian route from a final parked position of the vehicle to a predetermined destination, the navigation system comprising;
a final parking position unit configured to determine the arrival of the vehicle at the final parked position;
a pedestrian route calculation unit configured to determine the pedestrian route from the final parking position to the predetermined destination;
a control unit in signal communication with the final parking position unit and the pedestrian route calculation unit, where the control unit is configured to derive data describing the pedestrian route; and
a disabling/enabling unit in signal communication with the control unit, where the disabling/enabling unit is configured to check at least one criterion relating to the data describing the pedestrian route other than whether or not the pedestrian route exists, and configured to enable outputting of the data describing the pedestrian route when the criterion is satisfied and to disable outputting of the data when the criterion is not satisfied, where the criterion includes a determination that a structure in which the final parking position is located has more than one exit.

Abstract
A pedestrian route navigation system (“PRNS”) in a vehicle capable of determining a route from a final parking position of the vehicle to a predetermined destination, comprising a final parking position unit and a pedestrian route calculation unit. The PRNS may include a display unit capable of outputting data concerning the route to the predetermined destination, and a transmitting/receiving unit capable of transmitting the data to a mobile information unit of the user of the vehicle.

14. A pedestrian route navigation system (“
- PRNS”
) in a vehicle, comprising;means for detecting a current position of the vehicle; means for determining a route from the current position to a predetermined destination; means for detecting whether the vehicle has reached a final parking position; means for determining a pedestrian route from the final parking position to the predetermined destination; means for deriving data describing the pedestrian route from the final parking position to the predetermined destination; means for outputting the data describing the pedestrian route to the user; means for determining whether a criterion relating to the data describing the pedestrian route other than whether or not the pedestrian route exists is satisfied, and enabling or disabling said means for outputting data describing the pedestrian route in response to whether the criterion is satisfied, where the criterion includes a determination that a structure in which the final parking position is located has more than one exit. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
