Navigation device and method for conserving power
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, in a navigation device, at least one of,when an instruction for travel along a route of travel is not due to be output for a distance exceeding a distance threshold, andwhen no instruction for travel along the travel route is output for a period of time exceeding a time threshold; and
placing the navigation device in a power conserving mode upon the determination being made;
wherein the method further comprises taking the navigation device out of the power conserving mode upon at least one of;
determining that a warning is to be output to an integrated input and display device of the navigation device;
determining an indication of contact on the integrated input and display device of the navigation device; and
determining receipt of an incoming signal.

Abstract
A method and device are disclosed for navigation. In at least one embodiment, the method includes determining, in a navigation device, at least one of, when an instruction for travel along a route of travel is not due to be output for a distance exceeding a distance threshold, and when no instruction for travel along the travel route is output for a period of time exceeding a time threshold; and placing the navigation device in a power conserving mode upon the determination being made. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a processor to determine at least one of, when an instruction for travel along a route of travel is not due to be output for a distance exceeding a distance threshold, and when no instruction for travel along the travel route is output for a period of time exceeding a time threshold, the processor placing the navigation device in a power conserving mode upon the determination being made.
