Abstract
The accuracy of a reverse geocode for a GPS fix in a mobile phone navigation device is improved significantly by considering together the user's last known location on an original route, the elapsed time between the last known location on the original route and the latest GPS fix, and the likelihood that the user could have traveled from the last known location on the original route to one of numerous candidate locations (generated from the reverse geocode) in the elapsed time. The navigation server relies only on a GPS fix, timestamps, and a back-end routing database to provide improved or superior accuracy of reverse geocoding a GPS fix (selection of a point on a road) when a relevant user has deviated from the intended route. The reverse geocoding allows for accurate and functional re-routing capabilities.
Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/136,805, entitled “Probabilistic Reverse Geocoding” to Barcklay, filed Oct. 6, 2008, the entirety of which is explicitly incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to wireless communication. More particularly it relates to route guidance (navigation) on a mobile wireless device including global positioning satellite (GPS) capability.
- 2. Background of Related Art
- Navigation devices are typically GPS-based electronic systems used in a vehicle to provide a real-time map of the vehicle's current location, together with step-by-step directions to a requested destination.
- All navigation devices must handle the condition in which the user deviates (leaves) their intended route. When this condition occurs, the application typically determines the user's current location by “reverse geocoding” the last GPS fix from the device. This new current location is then used to generate a new route to the original destination.
- Reverse geocoding is a process of returning an estimated position on a street as it relates to a given latitude/longitude coordinate. Mobile applications available today use a simple reverse geocoding algorithm to locate the closest point on any road segment near the GPS coordinate received from the device.
- However, due to the inherent inaccuracy of a GPS fix, this simplistic approach may locate the user on an incorrect road that is near the user's true location. Since this occurs while the user is driving and after they have deviated from the intended route, the cost of an incorrect reverse geocode is quite high since the new route will also be incorrect.
- In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a method of providing an accurate location to a portable navigation device in a congested area when in an off-route condition comprises obtaining a latest location fix of the user's wireless navigation device, the latest location fix being off-route. A last known on-route location of a user's wireless navigation device is obtained. An elapsed time between the last known on-route location and the latest location fix is determined. A reverse geocode is performed on the latest location fix resulting in a plurality of potential location candidates. An estimated time of travel from the last known on-route location to each of the potential location candidates is determined, and a current location of the user's wireless navigation device is mapped as the potential location candidate having a travel time closest to the elapsed time.
- A method of providing navigation server-based support for a wireless navigation device in accordance with another aspect of the invention comprises considering together a user wireless device's last known on-route location, a latest GPS fix of the user's wireless device, and an elapsed time between the last known location on the original route and the latest GPS fix. A likelihood that the user's wireless device could have travelled from the last known on-route location on the original route to one of a plurality of candidate locations generated from a reverse geocode, in the elapsed time, is determined. An estimated time of travel from the last known on-route location to each of the plurality of candidate locations is determined, and mapping information is provided based on a current location of the user's wireless navigation device being determined as being the potential location candidate that has an estimated time of travel closest to the elapsed time.
- Features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description with reference to the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary mobile phone including a user interface providing route guidance navigation, as a user goes off route, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary method providing probabilistic reverse geocoding for a user of a mobile phone with an operating route guidance navigation interface, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 shows a graphical depiction of a list of candidate reverse geocodes generated by a current GPS fix, each being a point on a road segment near the actual latitude/longitude, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. -
FIGS. 4A to 4G show a route generated between the last known location and each respective candidate reverse geocode result shown inFIG. 3 . - Car navigation systems typically employ superior GPS technology, gyros and actual vehicle speed to determine a vehicle's current position more accurately. But more recently navigation applications have become available on wireless phones. However, mobile phones don't have access to a directly measured speed of a vehicle as do installed car navigation systems. Moreover, the antenna of a mobile phone may not be in an ideal position as are the antennas for an installed car navigation system. While very good, inaccuracies in the measurement of a current location may lead to an erroneous mapping onto a road in a mobile phone navigation application, particularly in areas where many roads intersect. In a worse case, such inaccuracies can result in mapping of a vehicle on a wrong road.
- The present inventors have discovered that the accuracy of a reverse geocode can be improved significantly by considering together the user's last known location on the original route, the elapsed time between the last known location on the original route and the latest GPS fix, and the likelihood that the user could have traveled from the last known location on the original route to one of numerous candidate locations (generated from the reverse geocode) in the elapsed time.
- The present invention provides an alternative approach to reverse geocoding that relies only on a GPS fix, timestamps, and a back-end routing database. The present invention provides improved or superior accuracy of reverse geocoding a GPS fix (selection of a point on a road) when a relevant user has deviated from the intended route. The reverse geocoding allows for accurate and functional re-routing capabilities.

FIG. 1 shows an exemplary mobile phone including a user interface providing visual route guidance navigation, as a user goes off route, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. - In particular,
FIG. 1 depicts amobile phone 120 providing visual route guidance navigation to a user via a visual user interface including a mobile phone display. In the disclosed embodiments, the user is presumed to be in an automobile, though the present invention relates equally to travel by way of any vehicle, including bicycles, bus, as well as travel by foot. - Though shown and described with respect to a visual user interface to guide a user of a
mobile phone 120, the present invention relates equally to audio route guidance and/or visual route guidance. - On the display of the
mobile phone 120, a visual user interface displays a map with relevant paths (e.g., roads in the case of vehicle travel). In the described situation, the user of themobile phone 120 is carrying it with them while traveling in a car or bus as they approach an area congested with roadways. The invention has particular applicability to points at which one road passes over another, where a navigation application can easily get confused. In the given situation the user is traveling in a vehicle in an area near to quite a few roadways. - The
triangular icon 402 depicts the vehicle in which the user is traveling, at its last known position of themobile phone 120 as it traveled along aroute 406. In the shown example, the user was presented with, and was expected to travel along, a previously calculatedroute 408. However, in the given scenario, the latest GPS fix puts the user at a point that would otherwise be considered to be along a different roadway. Thetriangular icon 404 depicts the latest GPS position fix of a user as reported by the GPS device of themobile phone 120 carried by a passenger of a vehicle that was previously traveling along apreplanned route 408. -
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary method providing probabilistic reverse geocoding for a user of a mobile phone with an operating route guidance navigation interface, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. - In particular, as shown in
FIG. 2 , amobile device 120 performs a navigation method supported by route guidance navigation information provided by aremote navigation server 140 within a phone network. Themobile device 120 communicates with theremote navigation server 140 via an otherwise conventional wireless phone protocol. - The method for probabilistic geocoding in accordance with the principles of the present invention begin with the following preferable input:
- (a) Last known location on a road segment (map matched by the application) (While the user travels along a route, the application ‘map matches’ each GPS fix to the nearest point on the route. When the distance to the nearest point exceeds some threshold, the user is considered off route.
- (b) Timestamp of last known location.
- (c) Current GPS fix (lat/lon) from the device.
- (d) Timestamp of current GPS fix.
- An exemplary method for probabilistic geocoding in accordance with the principles of the present invention is as follows:
- In the
mobile device 120, steps 202-208 are performed in the exemplary embodiment, whereas steps 302-316 are performed at asuitable navigation server 140 in the exemplary embodiment. - In
step 202 of themobile device 120, themobile phone 120 determines or otherwise obtains information informing it that it is ‘off-route’. - In
step 204, a new route request is created. - In
step 206, the new route request is sent to thenavigation server 140. - In
step 208, after thenavigation server 140 provides a new route back to themobile phone 120, guidance is started on the new route received back from thenavigation server 140. - The
navigation server 140 receives a new route request from themobile phone 120 instep 302. - In
step 304, thenavigation server 140 determines candidate locations. Thenavigation server 140 also examines the road network proximate to the latest GPS fix position. Thenavigation server 140 also selects points on nearest road links within a given error radius of the GPS fix. - In
step 306, thenavigation server 140 determines if there are more than one candidate location, or road presence point, within a given error radius of the latest GPS fix. A list of candidate reverse geocode location results is generated from thecurrent GPS fix 404. Each candidate location is a point on a road segment near the actual latitude/longitude. -
FIG. 3 shows a graphical depiction of a list of candidate reverse geocodes generated by a current GPS fix, each being a point on a road segment near the actual latitude/longitude, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. - In particular, as shown in
FIG. 3 , a latest GPS fix is depicted by thetriangular icon 404. However, in the given example, at least 6 candidate locations 502-512 are identified by thenavigation server 140. - Referring back to
FIG. 2 , instep 308, for each candidate location, a route is generated for each candidate location, from the last knownlocation 406, to the respective candidate location. -
FIGS. 4A to 4G show a route generated between the last known location and each respective candidate reverse geocode result shown inFIG. 3 . - In particular,
FIG. 4A depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 510 from the last knownposition 402.FIG. 4B depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 512 from the last knownposition 402.FIG. 4C depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 502 from the last knownposition 402.FIG. 4D depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 508 from the last knownposition 402.FIG. 4E depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 506 from the last knownposition 402.FIG. 4F depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 504 from the last knownposition 402.FIG. 4G depicts a route to get tolocation candidate 514 from thelast know position 402. - For each candidate reverse geocode result, a route is generated between the last known
location 402 and the respective candidate location 502-514. This route generation step calculates estimated elapsed time based on the speed limit of each road segment traveled. The present invention also contemplates that other influences such as traffic impacts may be taken into account, e.g., the presence and duty cycle of traffic lights along the way, stop signs, etc. - Referring back to
FIG. 2 , instep 310, for each route to respective candidate locations calculated instep 308, the travel time is determined, and compared to an elapsed time between the time stamp of the last knownlocation 406 and the time stamp of thelatest GPS fix 404. - The location candidates 502-514 are ranked based on the elapsed time between the two GPS fixes 402 and 404, and the estimated time of travel between the known and current location.
- The travel time for each route is generally the driving distance on each road segment x the speed limit on each road segment. For simplicity purposes of the given embodiment shown in
FIGS. 4A to 4G , it is presumed that the speed limit is the same on all shown roads. - In
step 312, a best fit candidate location is selected as a candidate location having a time closest to an expected time since the last known location was fixed. Thus, the location candidate with the smallest time difference is selected and returned as the reverse geocode result. Given the presumption above about a same speed limit on all shown roads in this example, the candidate location shown inFIG. 4G is a best fit. - Referring back to
FIG. 2 , instep 314, a new route is calculated from the latest orcurrent location fix 404, to the original destination. - Finally, in
step 316, the new route is communicated to the clientmobile phone 120. - The present invention may be generalized further to find a best-fit route between a series of 2 or more points, in accordance with the principles of the present invention. In this case, there is not a last known location but pairs of candidates from which the most likely route may be selected. This would be more computationally intensive but can be used to improve the accuracy of reverse geocoding (of a moving device) when there is no last known location.
- The invention may also be generalized by maintaining an ongoing list of likely reverse geocode results. For each subsequent GPS fix, the previous list may be used to generate the new list. This may be employed even when not on a route.
- The present invention has particular application to navigation application providers.
- While the invention has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications to the described embodiments of the invention without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
