Description

Route navigation method and device

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411462475.2, filed on October 18, 2024, entitled “Route Navigation Method and Apparatus”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of navigation technology, and in particular to a route navigation method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0003] With the continuous development of in-vehicle navigation technology, in-vehicle navigation systems have become an indispensable tool in people's daily lives.

[0004] Existing in-vehicle navigation systems typically only provide navigation information from the current location to the destination, helping users choose the best route. However, in practical applications, users may choose a specific route instead of the system's recommended optimal route. In particular, when the starting point of the selected route is not the current location, existing navigation systems cannot directly provide navigation information from the user's current location to the starting point of the selected route, resulting in a poor navigation experience for the user before the route's starting point.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide more convenient navigation information when users select a specific travel route has become an urgent problem to be solved in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0067] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0068] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0069] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, data stored, data displayed, etc.) involved in this application are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. Furthermore, the collection, use and processing of the relevant data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards, and corresponding operation entry points are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0070] With the rapid development of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and mobile internet, navigation systems have become indispensable tools in people's daily lives. Existing navigation systems typically only provide navigation information from the user's current location to their destination, helping users choose the best route. However, in practical applications, users may choose a specific route rather than the system's recommended optimal route. In this case, existing navigation systems may not be able to directly provide navigation information from the user's current location to the starting point of the selected route, resulting in a poor navigation experience for the user before the starting point.

[0071] Furthermore, when users deviate from their selected route, existing navigation systems typically recalculate a new route instead of guiding them back to their original choice. This recalculation can also cause users to stray from their planned route, increasing travel time and complexity. Therefore, how to provide navigation information from the user's current location to the route's starting point after the user selects a specific route, and how to continue providing navigation information from the starting point to the destination after the user reaches the starting point, has become a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0072] Therefore, this application provides a route navigation method. After the user selects a travel route, it generates first navigation information to guide the terminal from the current location to the route starting point based on the terminal's current location and the route starting point. It also generates second navigation information to guide the terminal from the route starting point to the route ending point. This enables a segmented navigation scheme that first navigates to the route starting point and then to the route ending point, providing users with more convenient navigation information and improving the user experience.

[0073] It should be noted that the route navigation method provided in this application relates to the field of navigation technology. More specifically, it can be used in vehicles, such as in intelligent driving assistance systems; it can also be used in navigation software programs on other mobile terminals such as mobile phones and smartwatches. This application does not impose any limitations.

[0074] The execution subject of the route navigation method in this application can be any mobile terminal that can run navigation programs and perform navigation, such as an in-vehicle terminal (located in a vehicle), mobile phone, tablet and other electronic devices. This application does not limit it. The following description takes the terminal device as the execution subject.

[0075] The following is an example illustrating one application scenario of the route navigation method provided in this application.

[0076] For example, in this application scenario, a user selects a travel route with a specific starting point at location A and an ending point at location B, while the user is currently located at location C. Based on the solution of this application, after determining the travel route, the navigation terminal generates first navigation information to guide the terminal from its current location C to the starting point A, and second navigation information to guide the terminal from the starting point A to the ending point B. The user can move from the current location C to the starting point A according to the first navigation information, and then move from the starting point A to the ending point B according to the second navigation information. In other words, even if the user is currently located at location C, the navigation terminal can still guide the user according to the specific travel route selected by the user, rather than directly recommending a new navigation path from location C to the ending point B. This simplifies the navigation triggering operation and improves the user experience for users with specific travel route needs.

[0077] It should be noted that the above scenario is only an example of an application scenario provided by the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application do not limit the actual form of the various devices included in the scenario. In the specific application of the solution, it can be set according to actual needs.

[0078] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0079] Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating a route navigation method provided in an embodiment of this application. This embodiment describes how navigation information is generated based on a travel route. The method in this embodiment can be implemented using software, hardware, or a combination of both.

[0080] As shown in Figure 1, the route navigation method provided in this application embodiment may include:

[0081] S101. Obtain the target travel route, which includes the starting point and the ending point of the target route.

[0082] It should be noted that the target travel route is the path planned by the user from one location (starting point) to another location (ending point). This route is the path the user wants the navigation system to guide them along. Based on the target travel route, the user's specific travel plan can be determined. In the embodiments of this application, the target travel route consists of at least two key points: the target route starting point and the target route ending point.

[0083] The target route starting point is the specific location where the user wishes to begin their planned trip. This starting point can be an address manually entered by the user, a location selected from a map, a location specified through other means (such as voice commands), or the starting point defined by the target travel route chosen by the user. In some cases, the target route starting point may differ from the user's current location. For example, when a user plans to start their trip from a specific bus stop, the target route starting point is that specific bus stop; or, when a user plans to travel from home to participate in a mountain running activity, the target route starting point is the starting point defined by that mountain running activity.

[0084] The destination of the target route is the final destination that the user hopes to reach. Similar to the starting point, the destination can also be specified by the user in various ways, including entering an address, selecting a location on a map, or using voice commands. It can also be the destination specified by the target travel route selected by the user. The destination is usually the user's destination, such as a specific geographical coordinate or a specific building, attraction, or other point of interest, etc., and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0085] For example, a terminal needs to obtain the target travel route to complete the route navigation task. It should be noted that the terminal can be a vehicle, an in-vehicle terminal, a mobile phone, or other devices, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0086] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, the user can select a route as the target route in the route browsing interface or route recommendation interface. In this case, the terminal needs to display at least one route to be traveled on the interface. Obtaining the target route may include: receiving a trigger operation for a route to be traveled; and in response to the trigger operation, determining the triggered route to be traveled as the target route.

[0087] For example, the terminal can display multiple routes to be traveled in a preset display method, such as a list, on the route recommendation interface. The displayed routes to be traveled can be officially set routes or routes created by the user. Each route to be traveled includes at least a target route start point and a target route end point. It not only has a specific route start point and route end point, but also a specific driving route. The user can apply a trigger operation (such as clicking, swiping, long pressing, etc.) to the selected route to be traveled. After receiving the user's trigger operation on the selected route to be traveled, the terminal can determine the triggered route to be traveled as the target route.

[0088] Alternatively, in another possible embodiment, the user can directly enter the starting point and destination to determine the target travel route. In this case, obtaining the target travel route may include receiving the target route's starting point and destination input by the user.

[0089] For example, the terminal interface can display a window for users to input the starting point and ending point of the target route to determine the target travel route. Users can input route-related information such as the starting point and ending point of the target route by entering an address, selecting a location on a map, or using voice commands. After receiving the information such as the starting point and ending point of the target route input by the user, the terminal can verify the starting point and ending point of the target route. If the address entered by the user is incorrect, it can make suggestions or automatically correct the location entered by the user to ensure that they are valid. After confirming that the geographical location is valid and correct, the target travel route is then determined to improve the accuracy of subsequent navigation.

[0090] When determining a target travel route, the terminal can search among existing travel routes based on the target route's starting point and ending point, identifying the route with the highest similarity as the target travel route. If no identical route is found among existing travel routes, a new travel route can be constructed based on route-related information such as the target route's starting point and ending point input by the user, serving as the target travel route. This application embodiment does not impose restrictions on how the travel route is constructed.

[0091] By acquiring the target travel route, the terminal can understand the user's basic needs and lay the foundation for generating subsequent navigation information, ensuring that the user's navigation experience is personalized and accurate.

[0092] S102. Generate first navigation information based on the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route. The first navigation information is used to guide the terminal to move from the current location to the starting point of the target route.

[0093] It should be noted that after obtaining the target travel route, the terminal can generate first navigation information based on the distance between the user's current location and the starting point of the target route. The purpose of the first navigation information is to provide the user with navigation guidance from the current location to the starting point of the target route, so as to ensure that the user can successfully reach the starting point of the target route and start their planned trip. The navigation guidance may include route suggestions for walking, driving, or using other modes of transportation, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0094] In one possible embodiment, generating first navigation information based on the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route may include:

[0095] S1. Determine whether the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is greater than a first preset distance;

[0096] S2. If the distance between the current location of the terminal and the starting point of the target route is greater than the first preset distance, then generate the first navigation information.

[0097] It should be noted that the current location of the terminal is also the user's actual geographical location. The user's real-time geographical location can be determined by GPS or other positioning technologies on the terminal (such as Wi-Fi positioning, cellular network positioning, etc.), which is usually expressed in latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0098] Before generating the first navigation information, the terminal can first calculate the distance between its current location and the starting point of the target route. If it is determined that the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is greater than a first preset distance, that is, the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is relatively far, then the first navigation information is generated to guide the user to move from the current location to the starting point of the target route; if it is determined that the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is less than or equal to the first preset distance, that is, the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is relatively short and navigation is not needed, then the first navigation information may not be generated.

[0099] This application does not limit the specific value of the first preset distance. For example, the first preset distance can be 100m or 500m.

[0100] For example, the first navigation information is intended to ensure that the user can reach the starting point of the target route smoothly. There are generally no special path requirements between the current location of the terminal and the starting point of the target route. Therefore, when generating the first navigation information, the current location and the starting point of the target route can be used as inputs. The terminal can calculate the best path from the current location to the starting point of the target route based on map data, traffic information, road network, etc. After the path is determined, the first navigation information can be generated.

[0101] The first navigation information may include detailed route guidance from the current location to the starting point of the target route, such as route distance, required time, turn prompts, road sign information, and driving direction. The navigation information may be presented in various forms, including text instructions, voice prompts, and map displays. During the movement, the terminal can also dynamically update the navigation information and provide real-time feedback, such as estimated arrival time, remaining distance, and traffic delays, to help users better plan their trips and cope with real-time changes in traffic conditions or situations where users deviate from the route.

[0102] It should be noted that the first navigation information can guide the terminal from its current location to the starting point of the target route in the following way: displaying the first navigation information. For example, after the user selects the target travel route, the terminal can directly display the first navigation information on the navigation interface. The user can view the route information through the navigation interface and move to the starting point of the target route according to the guidance of the first navigation information.

[0103] Alternatively, in one possible embodiment, before displaying the first navigation information, the terminal may also:

[0104] S10. Display detailed information about the target travel route and the first navigation control;

[0105] S20. In response to a user's touch operation on the first navigation control, if it is determined that the distance between the current location of the terminal and the starting point of the target route is greater than a first preset distance, then the step of displaying the first navigation information is executed.

[0106] For example, whether to display the initial navigation information can also be controlled by the user. After determining the target travel route, the terminal can display detailed information about the target travel route and the initial navigation control. The detailed information about the target travel route may include route trajectory information, route name, geographical location information, altitude information, creator information, total route length, estimated travel time, route rating information, approval progress information, mode of transport, distance between the vehicle's current location and the route's starting point, and distance between the route's starting point and the route's ending point. Based on the detailed information of the target travel route, the user can clearly understand the detailed status of the target travel route in its current state.

[0107] The first navigation control is a control that controls whether or not first navigation information is displayed. Users can interact with the first navigation control to allow the terminal device to control the display of the first navigation information. Upon receiving a touch operation from the user interacting with the first navigation control, the terminal can respond by determining that if the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is greater than a first preset distance, then executing the step of displaying the first navigation information to guide the user from the current location to the starting point of the target route; conversely, if the distance between the terminal's current location and the starting point of the target route is less than or equal to the first preset distance, the first navigation information may not be displayed.

[0108] The initial navigation information helps users smoothly reach the starting point of their target route from their current location, ensuring that they can begin their main journey as planned and prepare for subsequent navigation steps.

[0109] S103. Generate second navigation information, which is used to guide the terminal from the starting point of the target route to the ending point of the target route.

[0110] It should be noted that the terminal can also generate second navigation information to guide the terminal from the starting point of the target route to the destination of the target route. The second navigation information is used to guide the user to complete the trip based on the path specified by the target travel route. Unlike other travel routes, the target travel route of this application has a specified travel path. For example, a travel route is set to start from the route starting point A, and then pass through attractions 1, 2, and 3 in sequence to reach the route destination B. The generated second navigation information will guide the user to start from the route starting point A, and then pass through attractions 1, 2, and 3 in sequence to reach the route destination B, according to the requirements of the target travel route, without recommending other navigation paths to the user based on the shortest distance, fastest time, real-time traffic conditions, etc.

[0111] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, the second navigation information includes at least path planning information in the direction of movement of the navigation positioning point and a guide thumbnail of the target travel route; wherein, the guide thumbnail may include an identifier of the starting point of the target route, an identifier of the ending point of the target route, and an identifier indicating the real-time location of the terminal.

[0112] It should be noted that the planned route information in the direction of movement of the navigation point refers to the detailed driving route guidance provided to the user, which may include navigation direction, intersection turning prompts, distance traveled, and estimated arrival time. The navigation direction indicates which direction the terminal should travel, such as "straight," "left turn," or "right turn." Intersection turning prompts indicate to the user the turning operation required at specific intersections, such as "turn right at the next traffic light." The distance traveled provides the distance from the current location to the next navigation point, such as "go straight for 500 meters and then turn left." The estimated arrival time estimates the expected arrival time from the current location to the destination of the target route. The planned route information in the direction of movement of the navigation point can be displayed in real time on the terminal device to help the user move according to the planned route.

[0113] A guidance thumbnail is a simplified map view provided to users to help them intuitively understand the entire travel route. The guidance thumbnail may also include markers for the starting point and ending point of the target route, as well as markers indicating the real-time location of the device. The marker for the starting point of the target route indicates the location of the initial step of the journey, usually represented by a special symbol or icon, such as a green dot or flag. The marker for the ending point of the target route indicates the location of the final step of the journey, usually represented by another special symbol or icon, such as a red dot or flag. The marker indicating the vehicle's real-time location indicates the vehicle's current location, usually represented by a moving icon, such as a blue arrow or a car icon.

[0114] Optionally, in another possible embodiment, the second navigation information may further include contextual navigation information and / or navigation prompt information; the contextual navigation information includes vehicle status information and / or driving environment information, wherein the vehicle status information may include one or more of real-time vehicle speed, acceleration, tire pressure, and tire temperature, and the driving environment information may include altitude information; the navigation prompt information may include one or more of turn prompt information, mileage information, road name information, travel time information, battery level information, and traffic congestion information.

[0115] It should be noted that contextual navigation information refers to real-time information related to vehicle status and driving environment provided during navigation. This information helps users to have a more comprehensive understanding of the current driving situation, thereby making better driving decisions.

[0116] For example, contextual navigation information can include vehicle status information, such as real-time speed, acceleration, tire pressure, and tire temperature. Displaying the vehicle's current real-time speed, typically in kilometers per hour (km / h) or miles per hour (mph), helps users better understand their speed and avoid speeding. Displaying vehicle acceleration helps users understand the vehicle's acceleration or deceleration status. Displaying the real-time pressure of each tire ensures the tires are in normal working condition, preventing dangerous situations such as tire blowouts. Displaying the real-time temperature of each tire helps users monitor the tire's operating condition and prevent overheating.

[0117] For example, contextual navigation information can also include driving environment information, which may include altitude information. Displaying the vehicle's current altitude can help users understand terrain changes, especially when driving in mountainous or plateau areas, as knowing the altitude can improve driving safety.

[0118] Navigation prompts are detailed information provided during navigation related to the driving route, helping users to follow the planned path more accurately. For example, navigation prompts may include turn instructions, mileage information, road name information, travel time information, battery level information, and traffic congestion information. Turn instructions include upcoming turn directions, such as "Turn right in 100 meters" or "Turn left at the next intersection." Mileage information includes the remaining distance from the current location to the destination or the next navigation point, such as "5 kilometers to the destination." Road name information may include the name of the currently traveled road or the road about to be entered, such as "Currently traveling on a main road" or "About to enter a highway." Travel time information may include the estimated time of arrival at the destination or the remaining travel time, such as "Estimated arrival time is 3 PM" or "Remaining travel time is 30 minutes." Battery level information is particularly useful for electric vehicles, displaying the remaining battery power to help users understand whether charging is needed. Traffic congestion information may include traffic conditions on various road segments along the current route, such as using different colors to indicate the degree of congestion for each segment, allowing users to understand the traffic situation on each road.

[0119] It should be noted that the second navigation information can guide the terminal from the starting point to the destination of the target route in one of the following ways: displaying the second navigation information. The terminal can directly display the second navigation information on the navigation interface, allowing the user to view the route information and move from the starting point to the destination of the target route according to the guidance of the second navigation information.

[0120] The second navigation information may be presented in various forms, including text commands, voice prompts, map displays, etc., and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations. In one possible embodiment, in order to ensure that the second navigation information can be clearly displayed on the device interface and can correctly complete route guidance, the guidance thumbnail, contextual navigation information, and navigation prompt information can be displayed within a preset display box, and the preset display box does not completely overlap with the planned path information in the direction of movement of the navigation positioning point.

[0121] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, before displaying the second navigation information, the terminal can also obtain its position in real time while the terminal is moving according to the first navigation information; and the second navigation information is displayed only when it is determined that the distance between the terminal's position and the starting point of the target route is less than a second preset distance.

[0122] Understandably, the terminal can display the second navigation information only when it reaches the vicinity of the starting point of the target route. In practical applications, the terminal can obtain its real-time location through positioning technologies such as GPS and continuously determine whether the distance between the terminal's location and the starting point of the target route is less than a second preset distance. When it is determined that the distance is less than the second preset distance, the second navigation information is displayed directly to guide the user from the starting point of the target route to the destination of the target route.

[0123] This application does not limit the specific value of the second preset distance. For example, the second preset distance can be 50m or 30m, etc.

[0124] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, the display of the second navigation information can also be controlled by the user. In this scenario, when it is determined that the distance between the terminal's location and the starting point of the target route is less than a second preset distance, the terminal can also perform the following steps:

[0125] S100, Display a pop-up notification message; wherein the pop-up notification message includes a second navigation control;

[0126] S200, In response to a user's touch operation on the second navigation control, perform the step of displaying the second navigation information.

[0127] For example, whether to display the second navigation information can also be controlled by the user. When the terminal determines that the distance between the terminal's location and the starting point of the target route is less than a second preset distance, a prompt box can pop up. The prompt box can display a second navigation control for controlling whether to display the second navigation information. After the user touches the second navigation control, the terminal can respond to the user's touch operation and display the second navigation information.

[0128] The second navigation information can guide users from the starting point of the target route to the end point of the target route, ensuring that users follow the path of the target travel route to complete the target travel route.

[0129] For example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a route planning interface provided in an embodiment of this application. When the user's current location is not the starting point of the route, the navigation route planning information and the first navigation control of the target travel route can be displayed in the route planning interface 20 of the terminal as shown in Figure 2. The user can select any one of the recommended routes 1 to 3 from the current location to the starting point, and then click the first navigation control, namely the "Start Navigation" control 21 in the figure (or after the countdown ends). The terminal will then bring up the first navigation interface for displaying the first navigation information to help the user move from the current location to the starting point of the route.

[0130] For example, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a first navigation interface provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 3, the first navigation interface 30 may display first navigation information, such as the planned path information 31 and navigation prompt information 32 in the direction of movement of the navigation positioning point from the current location to the starting point of the target route, which is a real-time route guidance. Based on the first navigation information displayed on the first navigation interface, the terminal can successfully move from the current location to the starting point of the target route.

[0131] For example, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a pop-up prompt interface provided in an embodiment of this application. When the distance between the terminal's location and the starting point of the target route is less than a second preset distance, the terminal can display the pop-up prompt interface 40 as shown in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4, the pop-up prompt interface 40 can display pop-up prompt information 41, including a second navigation control, namely the "Start Now" control 42 in the figure. The user can click the "Start Navigation" control 42 in the figure (or after the countdown ends), and the terminal will bring up a second navigation interface for displaying second navigation information to help the user navigate from the starting point of the route to the destination.

[0132] For example, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a second navigation interface provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 5, the second navigation interface 50 displays second navigation information, such as planned path information 51 in the direction of movement of the navigation positioning point under real-time route guidance from the starting point to the end point of the target route, navigation prompt information 52, route thumbnail, and contextual navigation information 53. The navigation prompt information 52, route thumbnail, and contextual navigation information 53 are each located in a display box. Based on the second navigation information displayed on the second navigation interface, the terminal can guide the user to successfully move from the starting point to the end point of the target route.

[0133] It should be noted that Figures 2-5 are merely examples of embodiments of this application and should not be considered as limitations on this application. In practical applications, more suitable UI interfaces can be designed, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0134] The route navigation method provided in this application obtains a target travel route, which includes a target route start point and a target route end point; generates first navigation information based on the terminal's current location and the target route start point, the first navigation information guiding the terminal from the current location to the target route start point; and generates second navigation information, the second navigation information guiding the terminal from the target route start point to the target route end point. Based on this application's solution, segmented navigation from the current location to the start point and then from the start point to the end point can be directly implemented. This not only simplifies navigation triggering operations and improves the convenience of navigation operations, but also ensures that the user completes the target travel route according to the planned path, thus improving the user experience.
