- the “automatically switch to walking mode upon step detection” button 410 is shown as enabled.
- enabling this feature causes the mobile device 100 to switch to a walking mode of dead reckoning position measurement upon an accelerometer in the mobile device 100 or in communication with the mobile device 100 , e.g., a footwear impact sensor, detecting walking motions such as, for example, periodic accelerations indicative of steps being taken by a user.
- the “lock on street” feature 412 is shown as enabled for both a walking mode 414 and a vehicle mode 416 .
- a dead reckoning mode of operation in the lock on street setting interprets data from any of the accelerometer 172 , compass 173 , and gyroscope 175 such that the measured movements of the device are presumed to be directed along streets of a map of the surrounding area.
- the lock on street mode can, for example, be utilized to provide implicit fixes and resolve errors by adjusting a currently estimated position based on a comparison to map data.
- the mobile device 100 by use of the accelerometer 172 , compass 173 , user input and/or gyroscope 175 , may have a currently estimated location of a mobile device as 25 feet north of an intersection. If, however, the user of the mobile device is actually at the intersection, and turns west at the intersection and walks west in excess of a threshold distance, e.g., 10 feet, then the mobile device 100 may adjust the current estimated location to the position on the map that corresponds to 10 feet west of the intersection.
- a threshold distance e.g. 10 feet
- the lock on street mode can, for example, apply the implicit fixes in a bounded area, e.g., the implicit fix may not be applied if a user is walking in an open area, such as a park, in which there are no boundaries, e.g., building walls, to impede the user's path.

Description
- This application claims a benefit of priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/970,766, filed Jan. 8, 2008, which claims a benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/946,817, filed Jun. 28, 2007, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to mobile device aided navigation.
- The role of traditional printed maps is being supplanted by modern devices capable of rendering dynamic map displays. Devices that include mapping or navigation applications provide information regarding an area selected by a user by recalling map data from local memory or networked services.
- Mapping devices often include the ability to provide directions from a point of origin to a destination. When coupled with any of a number of positioning technologies, a mapping device can display a current position on a map as well as deliver navigation instructions based on the current position to route a user to a desired destination. Positioning technologies include satellite positioning systems such as GPS, information from nearby cellular base stations, and information from other transmitters such as, such as Wi-Fi networks.
- Not all mobile mapping devices include the necessary hardware and software to receive positioning information. In addition, due to interfering factors of the environment in which a mobile device is being operated, the mobile device may not be able to receive positioning information even if it is equipped to do so.
- Disclosed herein are systems and methods for adaptive mobile device navigation. In one implementation, a device position is stored in memory. Sensor data is received from a motion sensor measuring movement of the device. The sensor data is compared to map data corresponding to the device location. An estimated current device location is determined. The determination is based at least in part on the device position, received sensor data, and an interpretation of the received sensor data as corresponding to movement along at least one pathway defined by the map data.
- In an implementation, the pathway can be a sidewalk or a street. The motion sensor can be one or a combination of an accelerometer, a compass, and/or a gyroscope.
- In an implementation, a device position is stored in memory. Sensor data is received from at least one motion sensor measuring movement of the device. An estimated current device location is determined. The determination is based at least in part on the device location and the received sensor data. The sensor data is compared to map data corresponding to the stored location. Feedback is requested regarding the comparison. In an implementation, a second device position established by a response to the feedback is stored in memory.
- In an implementation the prompt includes a photograph. The photograph can be identified from a database of photographs, where the photograph includes geographical tagging information corresponding to a location that is within a threshold distance of the estimated current device location.
- In an implementation, a mobile device location is determined. Sensor data is received that is related to movement of the mobile device. An estimated mobile device location is determined based on the device location and the sensor data. The estimated device location is compared to map data, and the estimated device location is verified based on the comparison.
- Instructions for performing the aforementioned methods may be included in a computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

control devices 348, such as one or more buttons, rocker switches, thumb-wheel, infrared port, USB port, and/or a pointer device such as a stylus. The one or more buttons (not shown) can include an up/down button for volume control of thespeaker 328 and/or themicrophone 330. - In one implementation, a pressing of the button for a first duration may disengage a lock of the
touch screen 346; and a pressing of the button for a second duration that is longer than the first duration may turn power to themobile device 100 on or off. The user may be able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. Thetouch screen 346 can, for example, also be used to implement virtual or soft buttons and/or a keyboard. - In some implementations, the
mobile device 100 can present recorded audio and/or video files, such as MP3, AAC, and MPEG files. In some implementations, themobile device 100 can include the functionality of an MP3 player, such as an iPod™. Themobile device 100 may, therefore, include a 36-pin connector that is compatible with the iPod. Other input/output and control devices can also be used. - The
memory interface 302 can be coupled tomemory 350. Thememory 350 can include high-speed random access memory and/or non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, one or more optical storage devices, and/or flash memory (e.g., NAND, NOR). Thememory 350 can store anoperating system 352, such as Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks. Theoperating system 352 may include instructions for handling basic system services and for performing hardware dependent tasks. In some implementations, theoperating system 352 can be a kernel (e.g., UNIX kernel). - The
memory 350 may also storecommunication instructions 354 to facilitate communicating with one or more additional devices, one or more computers and/or one or more servers. Thememory 350 may include graphicaluser interface instructions 356 to facilitate graphic user interface processing;sensor processing instructions 358 to facilitate sensor-related processing and functions;phone instructions 360 to facilitate phone-related processes and functions;electronic messaging instructions 362 to facilitate electronic-messaging related processes and functions;web browsing instructions 364 to facilitate web browsing-related processes and functions; media processing instructions 366 to facilitate media processing-related processes and functions; GPS/Navigation instructions 368 to facilitate GPS and navigation-related processes and instructions;camera instructions 370 to facilitate camera-related processes and functions; and/or other software instructions 372 to facilitate other processes and functions. - Each of the above identified instructions and applications can correspond to a set of instructions for performing one or more functions described above. These instructions need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules. The
memory 350 can include additional instructions or fewer instructions. Furthermore, various functions of themobile device 100 may be implemented in hardware and/or in software, including in one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits. - In an implementation, the
mobile device 100 includes an integrated GPS receiver. Alternatively, or in addition, themobile device 100 can accept a GPS receiver as an accessory. Communication with an accessory GPS receiver can occur via a wired connection such as a USB connection, a secure digital interface, or other wired connection types. Communication can also occur via a wireless connection such as IEEE 802.x, Bluetooth™, or other wireless communication formats. The location of the mobile device can be measured using information received from orbiting GPS satellites using the GPS receiver. The present latitude and longitude of the mobile device can be determined and shown on thedisplay 102 with a map of the surrounding area. For example, selection of themap object 144 can present a user with a map showing the user's current location and a menu of options for manipulating the map using navigation features of thedevice 100. Other positioning systems (e.g., systems using Wi-Fi access points, television signals, cellular grids, etc.) can also be used. - In an implementation, past locations of the
device 100 are stored inmemory 350 so that a location history or a traveled path can be displayed. These past routes can be bookmarked or otherwise categorized for easy recall by the user. - As described above, environmental factors can prevent the location of the device being determined. For example, GPS reception is often not possible unless a line of sight can be established between the GPS receiver and the number of satellites needed to compute the receiver's location. Likewise, other location systems can also experience reception degradation, e.g., radio frequency interference or multiple time delayed versions of a transmission received due to reflections off of surrounding structures.
- In an implementation, the
device 100 includes one or more of anaccelerometer 172, amagnetic compass 173, and/or agyroscope 175. Theaccelerometer 172,compass 173, and/orgyroscope 175 can be used alone or in combination to measure movements of thedevice 100. Additional sensors can be located external to thedevice 100 on the person of the user. For example, any, some, or all of an accelerometer, a compass, a gyroscope, and an impact sensor can be located on or in the user's footwear. An impact sensor detects footwear contact with the ground, facilitating the measurement of a number of steps. A distance traveled can be estimated using the product of the average length of a user's stride and a number of steps taken. Alternatively contact with the ground during walking can be measured using an accelerometer that detects the change in velocity of a shoe as it contacts the ground. The sensors can be located on or in one or both of the user's shoes. The external sensors can send information to thedevice 100 via a wireless link. The length of the user's stride can be set and stored in device memory. - Sensor data from accelerometers, a compass, gyroscopes, and impact sensors can be used alone or in combination to, for example, measure the movement of the
device 100 from a point of origin or known location (a “fix”) to determine the device's location relative to the fix. Location measurement techniques of this type are generally referred to as “dead reckoning.” Dead reckoning can be used in conjunction with other location measurement techniques such as GPS or user input, and used in cases where no satellite or terrestrial positioning signal information is available (whether the unavailability is due to interference in the operating environment or the lack or reception capabilities in the device). In an implementation, thedevice 100 is configured to switch into a dead reckoning positioning mode upon another positioning mode becoming unavailable. - Dead reckoning position measurement is error prone, and small errors in measuring a turn, for example, can lead to large errors later if a new fix is not obtained before a lengthy distance is traversed. Frequently updated fixes improve the accuracy of a location shown, for example, on a moving map display of the
mobile device 100 measured using dead reckoning. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an example navigation settings screen 400 of the mobile device ofFIG. 1 . A user selectable touch-sensitive display button 402 to toggle dead reckoning functions on or off is shown in an enabled state. Touching the button toggles to a disabled state and changes its appearance to a lighter or “grayed out” appearance. Adefault mode selection 404 is shown. The “vehicle mode”button 408 is shown in an enabled state to indicate that when dead reckoning functions are active the default dead reckoning mode is the vehicle mode. The “walking mode” button 406 for this selection is showed in a disabled state. A touch of the “walking mode” button 406 in the state shown would cause a walking mode to become enabled, which, in turn, causes the “vehicle mode”button 408 to toggle to the disabled representation. - The “automatically switch to walking mode upon step detection” button 410 is shown as enabled. In an implementation, enabling this feature causes the
mobile device 100 to switch to a walking mode of dead reckoning position measurement upon an accelerometer in themobile device 100 or in communication with themobile device 100, e.g., a footwear impact sensor, detecting walking motions such as, for example, periodic accelerations indicative of steps being taken by a user. - The “lock on street”
feature 412 is shown as enabled for both awalking mode 414 and a vehicle mode 416. In an implementation, a dead reckoning mode of operation in the lock on street setting interprets data from any of theaccelerometer 172,compass 173, andgyroscope 175 such that the measured movements of the device are presumed to be directed along streets of a map of the surrounding area. - The lock on street mode can, for example, be utilized to provide implicit fixes and resolve errors by adjusting a currently estimated position based on a comparison to map data. For example, the
mobile device 100, by use of theaccelerometer 172,compass 173, user input and/orgyroscope 175, may have a currently estimated location of a mobile device as 25 feet north of an intersection. If, however, the user of the mobile device is actually at the intersection, and turns west at the intersection and walks west in excess of a threshold distance, e.g., 10 feet, then themobile device 100 may adjust the current estimated location to the position on the map that corresponds to 10 feet west of the intersection. - The lock on street mode can, for example, apply the implicit fixes in a bounded area, e.g., the implicit fix may not be applied if a user is walking in an open area, such as a park, in which there are no boundaries, e.g., building walls, to impede the user's path. A more detailed explanation of the lock on street mode is shown and described with respect to
FIG. 5 . - The “request user feedback” button 418 is shown in an enabled state, indicating the mobile device is in a user feedback fix mode. The frequency setting 420 for the user feedback fix mode is set to 10 minutes. Touches of the “amount”
button 422 can cycle through a range of options, for example, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20. The “units”button 424 can cycle through a range of options, for example, minutes, feet, meters, kilometers, and miles. The “provide contextual photos”mode button 426 is shown as enabled. When in the user feedback mode, themobile device 100 can receive periodic user feedback to adjust an estimated current location. For example, in the mode setting shown inFIG. 4 , a user may be prompted to verify a current position every 10 minutes. To assist the user in verifying the current positions, a contextual photo, e.g., a photograph of a nearby landmark, can be provided. In some implementations, the user can manually enter his or her current location (e.g., latitude and longitude) and/or respond to prompts, as described in reference toFIG. 7 . - In an implementation, a vehicle dead reckoning mode uses an accelerometer reading to determine how the device is positioned relative to the earth's gravity. That is, the accelerometer is used to detect which direction is down relative to the positioning of the device. This axis changes and measurements are updated if the device is reoriented in the vehicle. In the vehicle mode, sudden accelerations in a positive or negative direction along the axis of the earth's gravity are given a reduced importance in the dead reckoning position measurement calculation being utilized. Accelerations along this axis are discounted as they are likely caused by undulations of a traveling surface and reactions thereto by a vehicle suspension system. Accelerations along the axes perpendicular to the detected gravity axis are given enhanced weight in the vehicle mode as it is primarily these accelerations that contribute to displacement of the vehicle from a known fix to a second position to be measured via dead reckoning and displayed on a map. In an implementation, accelerations along the axes perpendicular to the axis of gravity are compared with rotations detected by the
gyroscope 175 to determine a change of direction. In an implementation, accelerations along the axes perpendicular to the axis of gravity are compared with rotations detected by themagnetic compass 173 to determine a change of direction. - In an implementation, a walking dead reckoning mode of position measurement detects an axis of periodic sudden accelerations using the
accelerometer 172 and counts the periodic accelerations as steps of the user. This axis changes and measurements are updated if the device is reoriented by a user while walking. In an implementation, the device is configured to switch to a walking mode of dead reckoning position measurement upon the detection of periodic accelerations. In an implementation, steps are counted by contact indications detected by impact sensors of footwear of the user. If only one shoe has an impact sensor, the number of impacts can be doubled to arrive at a step count. A pedometer function can calculate the product of the user's average stride and the step count to determine a distance traversed. Accelerations in axes perpendicular to the axis of periodic acceleration are measured to determine changes in direction. In an implementation, accelerations in axes perpendicular to the axis of periodic acceleration are compared with rotations detected by thegyroscope 175 to determine a change of direction. In an implementation, accelerations in axes perpendicular to the axis of periodic acceleration are compared with rotations detected by themagnetic compass 173 to determine a change of direction. In an implementation, the walking mode combines pedometer functions with compass measurements without use of accelerometer or gyroscope data. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of anexample map display 500 of the mobile device ofFIG. 1 . The map shows a number of streets and a point of origin ‘O’ 502. The dashedline 504 represents an example path measured by thedevice 100 from the origin 502 to adestination 506 measured using dead reckoning with a lock on street setting disabled. Thesolid line 508 represents an example path measured by thedevice 100 from the origin 502 to adestination 510 with a lock on street setting enabled. - In the two examples shown, the sensor measurements observed by the
device 100 are the same, but the interpretation of the data is different. In the case of the path represented by theline 504, the dead reckoning calculation did not lock the movements of the device to the streets of the map. In the case of the measured path represented byline 508, the device interpreted the sensor data in accordance with the lock on street setting to keep the movement confined to the streets of a map surrounding the fix represented by the origin 502. The lock on street mode can thus provide a more accurate estimate of a user's location if the user restricts her movement to streets and sidewalks along those streets. -
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of anexample process 600 for obtaining an updated dead reckoning fix through comparison of a detected turn with map data. Theprocess 600 can, for example, be implemented in a processing device, such as themobile device 100 ofFIG. 1 , implementing user processing in software and/or hardware. Movements are measured to estimate a position using dead reckoning (602). For example, movements can be measured by interpreting sensor data in one or more processors of amobile device 100 where the sensor data is received from one or all of theaccelerometer 172,compass 173, and/orgyroscope 175. Using an on board clock, the processor(s) can, for example, interpret the sensor data as movements of thedevice 100. Using acceleration data, for example, the processor(s) can determine velocity, and position. Alternatively, or in addition, compass data can be used to determine a heading. In some implementations a number of steps and user stride information can be used to determine a distance walked. - Upon the detection of a turn meeting a threshold (such as a minimum angle of turn from a former direction of travel) (604), map data of the area surrounding the current estimated location is checked for turns within a threshold distance of the estimated location (606). For example, upon a processor of the
mobile device 100 detecting a turn in sensor data, map data stored in local memory or provided by a networked service can be searched for the existence of such a turn at a candidate location within a threshold distance. - If a turn is found within the threshold distance, the map data is checked to determine if the turn of the map has an angle within a threshold number of degrees of the angle of the detected turn in the direction of the detected turn (608). If a turn is found in the map data that meets these criteria, the estimated location of the device is changed to the location of the turn on the map (610). The turn location is used as an updated fix for dead reckoning measurements made following the detected turn (612). For example, the last known location of a
mobile device 100 can be updated to the turn location and used in subsequent dead reckoning location estimates. - In an implementation, an updated fix for dead reckoning position measurement is obtained by gathering input from a user during a journey. In an implementation, input is gathered by prompting the user to answer a map related query. Prompts can occur at periodic intervals of time, distance, or upon the detection of movement meeting threshold criteria. Prompts can be accompanied by an audible or vibrating alert from the
device 100.FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an example user feedback prompt 700 of the mobile device ofFIG. 1 . A feedback prompt 700 includes a question “Did you just turn left on Main Street?” This prompt can be made, for example, on a display of amobile device 100 accompanied by an alert to indicate the existence of the prompt to a user. If an affirmative answer is given by a user touching “YES”button 702, the intersection of Main Street and the last road the user was traveling on is used as an updated fix for estimating the location of the device using dead reckoning. - “Set New Position” button 706 is also shown in
FIG. 7 . In an implementation, a user press of button 706 can cause the example screen ofFIG. 8 to be displayed.FIG. 8 is a block diagram of anexample screen 800 for accepting an updated current location from a user on the mobile device ofFIG. 1 .Button 800 prompts the user to adjust the map display, through zooming and panning controls, for example, so that the user's′ current location (and that of the mobile device 100) is shown. Thebutton 800 further instructs the user to double tap on the user's current location. Upon the user double tapping, for example, the intersection of 1st Ave. and Main Street, this location is used as an updated fix for use in dead reckoning position estimation for later detected movements. In some implementations, the user can enter their current location using a virtual keyboard or other input mechanism. - In an implementation, the device displays a photo of an object or scene that should be viewable from the estimated current location of the
device 100 and in some implementations queries the user as to whether the actual object or scene depicted can be seen by the user at her present location.FIG. 9 is a block diagram of an exampleuser feedback prompt 900 including a photograph on the mobile device ofFIG. 1 . In an implementation, the device displays a photo of an object or scene that should be viewable from the estimated location of themobile device 100 and queries the user as to whether the scene is viewable from the user's current location. Adialog box 900 includes the question “Can you see this scene?” A user touch of the “Fullscreen”button 904 causes the photo to be displayed in a larger format. The user can touch “Yes”button 906 or “No”button 908 to provide the requested information. An affirmative answer causes the location of the photo to be used as an updated fix. - Photos can be selected for display on the
mobile device 100 by searching a database of geo-tagged photos. Geo-tagged photos are photos which have information saved along with the photo that indicates the location at which the photo was taken. A photo is selected for display if the photo matches the estimated location of thedevice 100 within a threshold distance. Photos can transmitted from a remote location to thedevice 100 via a network connection, for example, a cellular, IEEE 802.x, or other wireless connection. In an embodiment, photo timestamps are checked to provide photos taken at a similar time of day as the time of display on thedevice 100 so that, for example, a photo of a scene of an area at night is provided on the device when the device is being used at night. In an implementation, photos having a shorter focal length (wider angle) recorded in the photo's EXIF (exchangeable image file format) information are given priority for display over photos with a longer focal length (telephoto) recorded in the EXIF information to provide a wider field of view to the user. -
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of an example process for prompting a user to obtain an updated fix of the mobile device ofFIG. 1 . Theprocess 100 can, for example, be implemented in a processing device, such as themobile device 100 ofFIG. 1 , in software and/or hardware. Movements of the device are measured using dead reckoning (1002). Movements can be measured, for example, by one or all of anaccelerometer 172, acompass 173, and agyroscope 175 providing sensor data to one or more processors of themobile device 100. If a user prompting condition is met (1004), input is requested from the user regarding the current location of the device (1006). User prompting conditions can, for example, include an elapsed time, a measured distance, a detected turn, manual entry of location (e.g., position coordinates), and identification of a nearby geo-tagged photograph. Prompts can, for example, be shown on a display of themobile device 100 and be accompanied by an alert. If the user input establishes the location of the device (1008) then the established location is used as an updated fix for dead reckoning estimation of the location of the device for later movements. The updated position can be used, for example, as a last known location of themobile device 100 for use in subsequent dead reckoning position calculations. -
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of anexample process 1100 for verifying an estimated location of the mobile device ofFIG. 1 . The location of the mobile device is determined (1102). The location can be determined, for example, via user input, positioning system data, and/or dead reckoning measurements. Sensor data related to movement of the mobile device is received. The sensor data can be received, for example, from sensors such as theaccelerometer 172,compass 173,gyroscope 175, and/or footwear impact sensors. An estimated device location is determined based on the location determined in 1102 and the sensor data (1108). The estimated device location can be determined, for example, by performing dead reckoning calculations using the received sensor data to measure movements of the mobile device from the determined location. In an implementation, the estimated device location can be determined based on one or more of a plurality of estimate modes. - The estimated device location is compared to map data (1108). For example, one or more characteristics of the received sensor data can be compared to one or more characteristics of the map data to identify a candidate location. In an implementation, the candidate location is turn in a pathway defined by the map data. In an implementation, the comparison is a comparison of one or more characteristics of a detected turn with one or more turn characteristics of the map data. In an implementation, the comparison is a request for user feedback regarding the candidate location. The estimated device location is verified based on the comparison (1110). The estimated device location can be verified, for example, if one or more characteristics of received sensor data are consistent with one or more characteristics of the candidate location. In an implementation, the estimated device location is verified by a response to a feedback request.
