Map Display Device And Map Display Method

The invention provides a map display device and map display method that enhance the information density of displayed road names while maintaining legibility of a map image. First, the map drawing unit draws, to an image storage unit, a map image of roads and so forth in a desired scale, by using the background layer of a first hierarchy corresponding to the desired scale. Second, the map drawing unit draws place names and facility names by using the character layer of the first hierarchy to superimpose them on the map image. Third, the map drawing unit extracts the road names that do not overlap with the map characters of the place names and facility names on the map image by using the character layer of the first hierarchy, and superimposes them on the map image at the normal character size. Fourth, the map drawing unit extracts, by using the character layer of a second hierarchy corresponding to a scale level smaller by one step than the desired scale level, road names that do not overlap with the map characters of the other road names, place names, facility names and so forth on the map image, and superimposes them on the map image at a smaller character size. Finally, the map drawing unit superimposes the vehicle position mark on the map image.

Formatting object for modifying the visual attributes of visual objects to reflect data values

A formatting object according to the present invention conveys information to the reader of a document (such as a table or chart) by associating visual attributes (such as color, fill type, border width, line width, line style, font size, marker size and marker type) to characters or markers within the document. The formatting object may be used to emphasize data within a table or a chart by modifying the structural visual attributes of characters or markers within the table or chart according to pre-defined criteria. Similarly, the formatting object may be used to increase information density within a table or chart, and to elegantly represent the relationships between four or more interrelated variables in a two-dimensional chart. The formatting object accomplishes this by defining at least one format map that comprises one or more mapping segments. Each mapping segment includes a beginning boundary value, an ending boundary value, at least one beginning visual attribute corresponding to the beginning boundary value, and at least one ending visual attribute corresponding to the ending boundary value. The formatting object uses the information within the format maps, in combination with interpolation techniques, to determine one or more visual attributes that correspond to data points falling within the various mapping segments. The formatting object then expresses the data values by applying the appropriate visual attribute to a visual object displayed on a computer screen.

Mixed-value based sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter units and counter

The invention discloses a mixed-value based sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter which comprises N mixed-value based sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter units, N-1 sexenary adiabatic carry/borrow circuits, and a DTCTGAL (double power clock ternary clocked transmission gate adiabatic logic) buffer, wherein the DTCTGAL buffer is arranged between the ith sexenary adiabatic carry/borrow circuit and the (i+1)th mixed-value based sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter unit, and each mixed-value based sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter unit is composed of a sexenary adiabatic right-shift door and a sexenary adiabatic D trigger. The counter disclosed by the invention has the advantages that according to a theory of three essential circuit elements, an adiabatic technique is introduced into a design on sexenary logic circuits, and the design on a mixed-value (2-3 mixed values) based sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter is implemented by using a mixed-value coding technique, so that an effect of energy consumption saving is significantly achieved, and the counter has a characteristic of high information density; and compared with a conventional sexenary adiabatic asynchronous adding/subtracting counter, by using the counter disclosed by the invention, about 94% of energy consumption can be saved.
