DISPLAY METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INDICATOR ARROW IN NAVIGATION MAP

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of navigation, and particularly relates to display methods and systems for an indicator arrow in a navigation map.

BACKGROUND

In a navigation process, when a vehicle approaches a certain intersection, a user may be reminded in a form of an indicator arrow displayed in a navigation map. Since the navigation map will rotate with a moving direction of the user, a direction of the indicator arrow may change with the rotation of the navigation map. However, on an actual road, the variable shape of intersections (e.g., a sickle-shaped intersection, a 90-degree right-angle turning intersection, etc.) may cause that, when the navigation map rotates, the indicator arrow (or part of the indicator arrow) does not exist in the navigation map or the indicator arrow (or part of the indicator arrow) is located at a lower position of a screen displaying the navigation map. It is not convenient to view the navigation map for the user.

Thus, it is desirable to provide display methods and systems for an indicator arrow in a navigation map.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an exemplary display system 400 for an indicator arrow according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The system 400 may acquire at least one indicator arrow information in a navigation route, and determine a highest point of the indicator arrow on a screen, then place the highest point at a preset position of the screen to determine a display position of the indicator arrow on the screen, and display the indicator arrow on the screen.

As shown in FIG. 4, the system 400 may include an acquiring module 410, a first determining module 420, a second determining module 430, and a display module 440.

The acquiring module 410 may be configured to obtain at least one indicator arrow information on a navigation route. The indicator arrow information may include at least one set of points representing the indicator arrow. For example, the acquiring module 410 may acquire at least one road transformation information, and then generates an indicator arrow corresponding to the at least one road transformation information based on the at least one road transformation information. More descriptions about acquiring the at least one indicator arrow information on the navigation route may be found in FIG. 5 and its descriptions.

For example, the first determining module 420 may establish a rectangular coordinate system on the screen, and determine coordinate values of a set of pixel points in the indicator arrow based on the rectangular coordinate system. The first determining module 420 may determine, in the set of pixel points, a pixel point with a largest ordinate value as the highest point of the indicator arrow. More description about determining the highest point of the indicator arrow on the screen may be found in FIG. 5 and its descriptions.

For example, the display module 440 may determine a proportional scale of the navigation map when the highest point is placed at the preset position of the screen, and determine whether the proportional scale is within a preset range. If the proportional scale is within a preset range, the display module 440 may display the indicator arrow on the screen; and if the proportional scale is not within the preset range, the display module 440 may not display the indicator arrow on the screen. In some embodiments, the display module 440 may also acquire a road width of a road where the indicator arrow is located, and determine a width of the indicator arrow based on the road width and the proportional scale. The display module 440 may display the indicator arrow on the screen according to the width. More descriptions about displaying the indicator arrow on the screen may be found in FIG. 5 and its descriptions.

It should be understood that the system and its modules shown in FIG. 4 may be implemented in various ways. For example, in some embodiments, the system and its modules may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware, wherein, a hardware part may be implemented by using special logic; a software part may be stored in a memory and executed by an appropriate instruction executing system, such as a microprocessor or specially designed hardware. Those skilled in the art may understand that the above-mentioned method and system may be implemented by using computer-executable instructions and/or by being included in processor control codes, for example, on a carrier medium such as a magnetic disk, CD or DVD-ROM, a programmable memory such as a read-only memory (firmware) or a data carrier such as an optical or electronic signal carrier, such a code is provided. The system and its modules of the present disclosure not only may be implemented by hardware circuits such as super-large-scale integrated circuits or gate arrays, semiconductors such as logic chips, and transistors, or programmable hardware devices such as field programmable gate arrays, and programmable logic devices, but also may be implemented by software executed by various types of processors, or may also be implemented by a combination of the above hardware circuit and software (e.g., firmware).

It should be noted that the above description about the display system for the indicator arrow and its modules is only for convenience of descriptions, and does not limit the present disclosure within a scope of embodiments mentioned. It may be understood that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the principle of the system, it is possible to arbitrarily combine various modules, or form subsystems to connect with other modules without departing from this principle. For example, in some embodiments, the acquiring module 410, the first determining module 420, the second determining module 430, and the display module 440 disclosed in FIG. 4 may be different modules in one system and may also be one module to achieve the functions of two or more modules. For another example, the first determining module 420 and the second determining module 430 may be two modules, or may also be one module which simultaneously has functions of determining the highest point of the indicator arrow on the screen and determining the display position of the indicator arrow on the screen. For still another example, all the modules may share a storage module, and all the modules may also have respective storage module. Such deformations are all within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary flowchart of an exemplary display method 500 for an indicator arrow according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the display method 500 for the indicator arrow may be executed by a device having processing and computing capabilities such as the service requester terminal 130, the service provider terminal 140, or the mobile device 300. Correspondingly, the display system 400 for the indicator arrow may be hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware of the service requester terminal 130, the service provider terminal 140, or the mobile device 300.

In some embodiments, the displaying method 500 for the indicator arrow may also be executed by a device having processing and computing capabilities such as the server 110 or the computing device 200. Correspondingly, the display system 400 for the indicator arrow may be hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware of the server 110 or the computing device 200.

As shown in FIG. 5, the display method 500 for the indicator arrow may include:

Step 510, acquiring at least one indicator arrow information in a navigation route. Specifically, step 510 may be executed by the acquiring module 410.

The navigation route may be a route on a user terminal (e.g., the service requester terminal 130 or/and the service provider terminal 140) that indicates where a vehicle of the user terminal is located. After acquiring a starting point and an ending point input by a user, the user terminal may enter a navigation state after receiving the navigation route from the server 110.

The navigation route may include a series of indicator arrows that guide the vehicle to transform a road. Road transformation may be that the vehicle travels from one road to another road, for example, turns at an intersection, lane changing between main and auxiliary roads, or turning around, etc. Due to different forms of road transformation on the navigation route, a series of different indicator arrows may be included. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the indicator arrow may include at least one of the following: a left turn arrow, a right turn arrow, a go-straight arrow, a turn-round turning arrow, an annular driving arrow, a continuous turning arrow, a left front driving arrow, or a right front driving arrow. The left turn arrow may include a left right-angle turning arrow and a left oblique turning arrow. The right turn arrow may include a right right-angle turning arrow and a right diagonal turning arrow. The continuous turning arrow may include indicator arrows of two or more turning intersections that are closer to each other. The left front driving arrow may include an indicator arrow for driving from an auxiliary road to a main road. The right front driving arrow may include an indicator arrow for driving from the main road to the auxiliary road.

In some embodiments, the indicator arrow information may include coordinate data of a road transformation position corresponding to the indicator arrow. The coordinate data corresponds to a latitude and longitude of the road transformation position. The indicator arrow information may include at least one set of points (or referred to as topological points) representing the indicator arrow. As shown in FIG. 7, an indicator arrow 701 may include a set of points 702 (shown in a dotted block in FIG. 7). The set of points 702 form a shape and a direction of the indicator arrow. The user drives the vehicle by observing the direction of the indicator arrow.

In some embodiments, the indicator arrow may include a 3D indicator arrow, a 2.5D indicator arrow, or a 2D indicator arrow. If the 2D indicator arrow is used as a turning or lane changing indication sign, it may not be able to make an accurate prompt during complex road transformation, and a visual effect is poor, which may cause the user to drive in a wrong lane and cause a lot of inconvenience to the user. Since the 3D indicator arrow has a certain thickness compared to the 2D and 2.5D indicator arrows, and gives the user a more intuitive look and feel, when the indicator arrow is the 3D indicator arrow, the user may more intuitively observe changes in a road ahead.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the indicator arrow is a 3D indicator arrow, and the 3D indicator arrow has a certain thickness. A mark 910 as shown in FIG. 9 indicates a thickness of the 3D indicator arrow. FIG. 10 is a schematic view of the 3D indicator arrow of FIG. 9 when be viewed down from a position right above the screen in a 2D viewing angle (or an orthographic projection view on the screen). As shown in FIG. 10, a mark 1010 indicates a width of a head arrow of the indicator arrow, a mark 1020 indicates a height of the head arrow of the indicator arrow, and a mark 1030 indicates a width of the indicator arrow. In the 2D viewing angle (that is, being viewed down the 3D arrow from the position right above the screen), the width of the head arrow (the mark 1010 as in FIG. 10) and the height of the head arrow (the mark 1020 as in FIG. 10) of the 3D indicator arrow, and the width of the 3D indicator arrow (the mark 1030 as in FIG. 10), and the thickness of the 3D indicator arrow (the mark 910 as in FIG. 9) may maintain a certain ratio. The ratio may be a ratio that is convenient for the user to observe and provides a good visual effect. For example, the ratio may be 58:44:32:8. Taking the ratio as a reference, when the user zooms the navigation map, the indicator arrow may achieve an equal-proportion adaptation under different proportional scales. In some embodiments, if the indicator arrow is a 2D indicator arrow, a width of a head arrow (the mark 1010 as in FIG. 10) and a height of the head arrow (the mark 1020 as in FIG. 10) of the 2D indicator arrow, and a width of the 2D indicator arrow (the mark 1030 as in FIG. 10) may also maintain a certain ratio. Taking the ratio as a reference, when the user zooms the navigation map, the indicator arrow may achieve an equal-proportion adaptation under different proportional scales. In some embodiments, in order not to cover the navigation route and to facilitate observation by the user, a certain pixel may be maintained from the indicator arrow to a base map (that is, a two-dimensional map displayed on the screen). For example, the indicator arrow may be 7 pixels away from the base map.

In some embodiments, the acquiring module 410 may acquire road transformation information to acquire at least one indicator arrow information in the navigation route. For example, at least one road transformation information may be acquired, and then an indicator arrow corresponding to the at least one road transformation information may be generated based on the at least one road transformation information. The road transformation information may include information such as a shape of an intersection, position information of the intersection, turning angle information of the intersection, whether to turn around, whether to go straight, whether to change lanes, etc. The indicator arrow may include an indicator arrow corresponding to next road transformation information on the navigation route. The acquiring module 410 may acquire at least one road transformation information, and draw at least one indicator arrow at a road transformation position according to shapes of at least two roads at the road transformation position.

Taking a road in FIG. 8 as an example, a vehicle will drive to the left front of the road, and the acquiring module 410 may determine a turning angle of two roads based on a current road and a road that the vehicle will drive into. Further, based on the turning angle and position information of the two roads on the navigation map, the indicator arrow indicating the vehicle to drive to the left front (an indicator arrow 801 as in FIG. 8) is generated, and a shape of the indicator arrow is similar to a shape of a road turning to the left front.

Step 520: determining a highest point of the indicator arrow on a screen based on the at least one indicator arrow information. Specifically, step 520 may be executed by the first determining module 420.

The screen may include a terminal device that displays the navigation route, for example, a user terminal or a projection device connected to the user terminal. In some embodiments, the highest point of the indicator arrow may be a highest point in a vertical direction of the screen where the indicator arrow is located.

In some embodiments, the first determining module 420 may establish a rectangular coordinate system on the screen, and then determine a point with a greatest ordinate value of the indicator arrow as the highest point of the indicator arrow. For example, the rectangular coordinate system may be established on the screen, a horizontal axis of the rectangular coordinate system is a horizontal direction of the screen, and a vertical axis of the rectangular coordinate system is a vertical direction of the screen. Coordinate values of a set of points in the indicator arrow may be determined based on the rectangular coordinate system, and a point with a greatest ordinate value in the set of points may be determined as the highest point of the indicator arrow.

A mobile phone screen is taken as an example for description below. FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary rectangular coordinate system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, coordinates of one set of points of the indicator arrow on the mobile phone screen are (X, Y), and a unit of the rectangular coordinate system is a pixel. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the first determining module 420 may designate a lower left corner of the screen as an origin O, a horizontal axis (x axis) is a horizontal direction of the screen, and a vertical axis (y axis) is a vertical direction of the screen. The first determining module 420 may determine coordinate values of a set of points in the indicator arrow according to the rectangular coordinate system. The coordinate value indicates a position of a pixel point of the set of points on the screen. For example, if a resolution of the mobile phone screen is 1280×720, there are 1280 pixel points in the y-axis direction of the mobile phone screen, and there are 720 pixel points in the x-axis direction of the mobile phone screen. A coordinate value of the origin is (0, 0), and a coordinate value of an upper right corner of the mobile phone screen is (720, 1280). As shown in FIG. 7, the indicator arrow 701 is composed of the set of points 702 (shown in a dotted block in FIG. 7), and a point with a greatest ordinate in the set of points in the indicator arrow is a point 703 shown by a dotted circle in FIG. 7. The point 703 may be a highest point in the vertical direction (y-axis) of the mobile phone screen.

In some embodiments, the indicator arrow enters the screen. According to the above method, the first determining module 420 may determine the highest point of the indicator arrow in the vertical direction of the screen based on the at least one indicator arrow information.

Step 530, placing the highest point at a preset position of the screen and determining a display position of the indicator arrow on the screen. Specifically, step 530 may be executed by the second determining module 430.

The preset position may be a display position predetermined according to viewing habits of the user or the visual effect, and the preset position may be a comfortable position on the screen that facilitates observing by the user. In some embodiments, the preset position may be a straight line (e.g., a dotted line 804 below a button 805 in FIG. 8) or a region (e.g., a certain-area region near a vertical center line in FIG. 8) with a first pixel threshold from a position right above the screen. The position right above the screen may be a highest position in the vertical direction of the screen. Still taking the mobile phone screen in step 520 as an example, the position right above the screen may be a straight line with y=1280. In some embodiments, the first pixel threshold may be a default value of the system, for example, 100 pixel values, 150 pixel values, or 200 pixel values, or may also be adjusted according to different situations.

In some embodiments, the second determining module 430 may place the highest point at a preset position of the screen based on a display position of a vehicle identification on the screen (e.g., a vehicle identification 803 in FIG. 8) to determine the display position of the indicator arrow on the screen. For example, the display position of the vehicle identification on the screen may be acquired, and based on the display position of the vehicle identification on the screen, the highest point of the indicator arrow may be placed at the preset position on the screen by zooming the navigation map, and then the display position of the indicator arrow on the screen may be determined.

In some embodiments, the display position of the vehicle identification on the screen may remain unchanged. For example, the vehicle identification may be displayed at a center point of the screen, a certain point close to a position below a vertical centerline of the screen, or other position. In some embodiments, the second determining module 430 may first fix the display position of the vehicle identification on the screen, and then place the determined highest point of the indicator arrow at the preset position by zooming the navigation map. The second determining module 430 may determine the display position of the indicator arrow on the screen.

Taking the display position of the indicator arrow on the mobile phone screen as an example for description below, as shown in FIG. 8, the position of the vehicle identification (that is, the current position of the vehicle) on the screen may remain unchanged (e.g., at a certain point 803 below the vertical centerline of the mobile phone screen), when the navigation map is zoomed, a scope of a navigation map will be zoomed in or out with the vehicle identification as a center. While zooming, a position of the highest point of the indicator arrow may also move accordingly. For example, when the navigation map is zoomed in, the highest point of the indicator arrow will be far away from the vehicle identification (e.g., the indicator arrow may be out of the screen display), and when the navigation map is zoomed out, the highest point of the indicator arrow will be close to the vehicle identification (e.g., entering the screen display from a position outside the screen display). Therefore, by trying to zoom the navigation map to an appropriate proportional scale, the highest point of the indicator arrow (e.g., a point 802 in the indicator arrow in FIG. 8) is exactly at the preset position (e.g., aligned with the dotted line 804 in FIG. 8) on the screen. When the navigation map rotates, the highest point of the indicator arrow will also change, the changed highest point is still placed at the preset position (e.g., aligned with the dotted line 804), thereby avoiding the indicator arrow is out of the navigation interface or is located too close to a lower portion of the screen, and improving the visual effect.

In some embodiments, the position of the vehicle identification on the screen may be changed. For example, when the determined highest point of the indicator arrow (e.g., the point 802 in the indicator arrow in FIG. 8) is aligned with the preset position (e.g., the dotted line 804 in FIG. 8) by zooming the navigation map, and when the position of the vehicle identification on the screen changes, a position for placing the highest point may also change accordingly, but the highest point is still aligned with the preset position (e.g., the dotted line 804 in FIG. 8). For example, when the vehicle identification moves leftwards, the position for placing the highest point also moves leftwards, and therefore the position of the indicator arrow also shifts leftwards. It may be understood that when the position of the vehicle identification on the screen changes, the position for placing the highest point in the indicator arrow in FIG. 8 may also change accordingly, but the position of the highest point only moves left and right on the dotted line 804 in FIG. 8.

Step 540, displaying the indicator arrow on the screen. Specifically, step 540 may be executed by the display module 440.

In some embodiments, the display module 440 may display the indicator arrow on the screen. For example, a proportional scale of the navigation map may be determined when the highest point is placed at the preset position of the screen, and whether the proportional scale is within a preset range may be determined. If the proportional scale is within a preset range, the indicator arrow may be displayed on the screen; and if the proportional scale is not within a preset range, the indicator arrow may be not displayed on the screen. In some embodiments, the preset range may include levels 15-19, and the preset range may also be adjusted according to different situations.

Placing the determined highest point of the indicator arrow at the preset position on the screen is achieved by zooming the navigation map. Therefore, when the navigation map is zoomed, the proportional scale of the navigation map may also be changed accordingly. When the navigation map is zoomed so that the highest point of the indicator arrow is exactly located at the preset position on the screen, the display module 440 may record the proportional scale of the navigation map at this time.

For illustrative descriptions only, when the display module 440 determines that the proportional scale (e.g., the level 16) of the navigation map at this time is greater than the level 15, the display module 440 may display the indicator arrow on the screen. Conversely, when the display module 440 determines that the proportional scale (e.g., a level 14) of the navigation map at this time is less than the level 15, the display module 440 does not display the indicator arrow on the screen, that is, the user cannot observe the indicator arrow on the screen. As the vehicle moves forward, the proportional scale of the navigation map changes, and the display module 440 will not display the indicator arrow on the screen until the proportional scale of the navigation map reaches the level 15.

In some embodiments, the indicator arrow is displayed when the proportional scale is greater than or equal to the level 15. When the proportional scale changes dynamically during the navigation process, it may be determined at any time whether the proportional scale meets a requirement for displaying the indicator arrow. In some embodiments, when an original proportional scale (e.g., the level 17) on a navigation interface is greater than or equal to the level 15, the indicator arrow is displayed on the screen. If the proportional scale is zoomed out to be below the level 15 (e.g., to a level 13) artificially by the user (e.g., by a zooming gesture or by clicking zoom control), the indicator arrow will no longer be displayed. In some embodiments, the original proportional scale on the navigation interface is less than the level 15 (e.g., the level 13), and the indicator arrow is not displayed on the screen. If the proportional scale is zoomed in to be greater than or equal to the level 15 (e.g., the level 17) artificially by the user (e.g., by the zooming gesture or by clicking the zoom control), the indicator arrow will be displayed. In some embodiments, the navigation interface may include a full-screen navigation interface or a non-full-screen navigation interface.

In some embodiments, the display module 440 may determine a width of the indicator arrow and perform display according to the width. For example, a road width of a road where the indicator arrow is located may be acquired, and then based on the road width and the proportional scale on the navigation interface, the width of the indicator arrow (the mark 1030 as in FIG. 10) is determined, and the indicator arrow is displayed on the screen according to the width.

In some embodiments, the width of the indicator arrow may be calculated by formulas (1) and (2):

$\begin{matrix} W_{A r r o w} = W_{L i n e} \times w & (1) \\ w = \cos (\langle 20.0 f - lev \rangle \times 10 \times \frac{π}{1 8 0}) \times k & (2) \end{matrix}$

Wherein, W_ARROWdenotes the width of the indicator arrow, W_Linedenotes the road width of the road corresponding to the indicator arrow, lev denotes the proportional scale on the current navigation interface, 20.0f denotes a maximum level of the proportional scale, and k denotes a micro adjustment parameter (e.g., k=0.8).

In some embodiments, if the indicator arrow is a 3D indicator arrow, the display module 440 may determine a size of the 3D indicator arrow based on the width of the indicator arrow, and the indicator arrow may be displayed on the screen according to the ratio of the width of the head arrow, the height of the head arrow of the indicator arrow, the width of the indicator arrow, and the thickness of the indicator arrow described in step 510.

In some embodiments, if the indicator arrow is a 2D indicator arrow, the display module 440 may determine a size of the 2D indicator arrow based on the width of the indicator arrow, and the indicator arrow may be displayed on the screen according to the ratio of the width of the head arrow, the height of the head arrow of the indicator arrow, and the width of the indicator arrow described in step 510.

The possible beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to: by placing the highest point of the indicator arrow of the next road transformation position during the driving process of the vehicle at the preset position of the screen (e.g., the best display position), the indicator arrow may always be at the preset position of the screen along with the change of the navigation map, which is convenient for the user to watch the indicator arrow, and therefore may better guide the user to drive the vehicle, and a navigation experience of the user is improved.
