Method and system for generating traffic information for at least one vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating traffic information for at least one vehicle, said traffic information comprising at least one position, wherein the method comprises the acts of:
- comparing, by a central device, a current position table to a prior position table, each position table listing respective position entries;
determining, via the comparison, a deviating entry from among the listed position entries of the respective position tables;
generating, by the central device, a traffic information vector using the position of the deviating entry as a reference point for generating the traffic information vector;
transmitting the traffic information vector from the central device to a navigation device of the at least one vehicle;
generating, by the navigation device, traffic information based on the traffic information vector and the at least one prior position table stored by the navigation device; and
displaying , by the navigation device, the traffic information in connection with a map comprising geographic positions corresponding to the position entries of the prior position table.

Abstract
A method is provided for generating traffic information for at least one vehicle, the information including at least one position. The method includes the following acts: comparing a currently used position table to at least one further position table; determining deviations in entries in the position tables; and, if a deviation is present, using the position of the deviating entry in one of the position tables as a reference point for the traffic information to be generated. A system for generating traffic information is described.

14. A system for generating traffic information for at least one vehicle, comprising:
-
an off-vehicle central device configured to; compare a current position table to at least one further position table, each position table listing respective position entries; determine, via the comparison, a deviating entry from among the listed position entries of the respective position tables; and generate a traffic information vector using the position of the deviating entry as a reference point for generating the traffic information vector; transmit the traffic information vector; and an on-vehicle navigation device configured to; receive the traffic information vector transmitted by the off-vehicle central device; generate traffic information based on the received traffic information vector and the at least one prior position table stored by the navigation device; and display the traffic information in connection with a map comprising geographic positions corresponding to the position entries of the prior position table. - View Dependent Claims (15)
