Navigation device and method for conveying information relationships
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- continuously determining a current speed using information received from satellites by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in a navigation device during travel along a road, and outputting, on a color display of said navigation device, a numerical value of the current speed and a permitted speed for the road, an indication of a relationship between the permitted speed and the current speed and map information including a representation of said road,said navigation device determining whether a speeding condition exists for a selected duration of time by continuously comparing said current speed with a permitted speed for said road, the permitted speed being stored in a memory of said navigation device, and, if a speeding condition is determined to exist for more than the selected duration of time, highlighting the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed by changing an output color of the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed on the color display of the navigation device to one of a plurality of colors and /or flashing the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed until such time as the speeding condition no longer exists.

Abstract
A method and device are disclosed for conveying information relationships. In one embodiment, the method includes prompting, in a navigation device, at least one of input and selection of a travel destination and a desired arrival time at the travel destination; calculating an arrival time during travel to the travel destination; and outputting via the navigation device, during travel to the travel destination, an indication of a relationship between the desired arrival time and the calculated arrival time. In another embodiment, the method includes inputting a travel destination on a navigation device; determining a travel route to the input travel destination; calculating a speed in a navigation device during travel to the travel destination along the determined route; and outputting, via the navigation device, an indication of a relationship between a permitted speed and the calculated speed.

8. A navigation device, configured to:
-
continuously determine a current speed using information received from satellites by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in a navigation device during travel along a road, and outputting, on a color display of said navigation device, a numerical value of the current speed and a permitted speed for the road, an indication of a relationship between the permitted speed and the current speed and map information including a representation of said road, determine whether a speeding condition exists for a selected duration of time by continuously comparing said current speed with said permitted speed for said road, the permitted speed being stored in a memory of said navigation device, and highlight the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed, if a speeding condition is determined to exist for more than the selected duration of time by changing an output color of the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed on the color display of the navigation device to one of a plurality of colors and/or flashing the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed until such time as the speeding condition no longer exist. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program segments for, when executed on a processor of a navigation device performs a method, the method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
-
continuously determining a current speed using information received from satellites by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in a navigation device during travel along a road, and outputting, on a color display of said navigation device, a numerical value of the current speed and a permitted speed for the road, an indication of a relationship between the permitted speed and the current speed and map information including a representation of said road, said navigation device determining whether a speeding condition exists for a selected duration of time by continuously comparing said current speed with a permitted speed for said road, the permitted speed being stored in a memory of said navigation device, and, if a speeding condition is determined to exist for more than the selected duration of time, highlighting the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed by changing an output color of the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed on the color display of the navigation device to one of a plurality of colors and/or flashing the indication of the relationship between the permitted speed for the road and the current speed until such time as the speeding condition no longer exist.
