There are about 300,000 visually impaired persons in Japan. Most of them are old persons and, cannot become skillful in using a white cane, even if they make effort to learn how to use a white cane. Therefore, some guiding system that supports the independent activities of the visually impaired are required. In this paper, we will describe about a developed white cane system that supports the independent walking of the visually impaired in the indoor space. This system is composed of colored navigation lines that include IC tags and an intelligent white cane that has a navigation computer. In our system colored navigation lines that are put on the floor of the target space from the start point to the destination and IC tags that are set at the landmark point are used for indication of the route to the destination. The white cane has a color sensor, an IC tag transceiver and a computer system that includes a voice processor. This white cane senses the navigation line that has target color by a color sensor. When a color sensor finds the target color, the white cane informs a white cane user that he/she is on the navigation line by vibration. So, only following this vibration, the user can reach the destination. However, at some landmark points, guidance is necessary. At these points, an IC tag is set under the navigation line. The cane makes communication with the tag and informs the user about the land mark pint by pre recorded voice. Ten normal subjects who were blindfolded were tested with our developed system. All of them could walk along navigation line. And the IC tag information system worked well. Therefore, we have concluded that our system will be a very valuable one to support activities of the visually impaired.

An Apple iPod Touch that the worker carries displays the shortest route to a specific item. The system tells the worker his present location, destination, distance and product information by voice to significantly reduce time to search for items.

Aisin AW Co., Ltd. was established in 1969 from Japanese andAmerican investment as a new company specializing in automatictransmission (AT) manufacture. Aiming to reach and overtake theWestern advanced technology while "pursuing the essence of therole of ATs within the whole vehicle system", it has sinceachieved its goal of becoming the world's No. 1 ATmanufacturing company.In 1985, Aisin AW established a research and development lab forthe development for new products other than ATs. Operating underthe motto of creating a single, attractive basic design conceptlayout while "pursuing the essence of the role of the vehiclewithin society", this lab developed the world's firstvoice navigation system (VNS), an innovative, creative product bornfrom our company's exclusive product concept. Aisin AW is nowachieving the biggest share of the vehicle navigation system marketin Japan

An automotive navigation system is part of the automobile controls or a third party add-on used to find direction in an automobile. It typically uses a satellite navigation device to get its position data which is then correlated to a position on a road. When directions are needed routing can be calculated. On the fly traffic information (road closures, congestion) can be used to adjust the route.

Mathematically, automotive navigation is based on the shortest path problem, within graph theory, which examines how to identify the path that best meets some criteria (shortest, cheapest, fastest, etc.) between two points in a large network.

Automotive navigation systems represent a convergence of a number of diverse technologies, many of which have been available for many years, but were too costly or inaccessible. Limitations such as batteries, display, and processing power had to be overcome before the product became commercially viable.[2]

Map database formats are almost uniformly proprietary, with no industry standards for satellite navigation maps, although some companies are trying to address this with SDAL (Shared Data Access Library) and Navigation Data Standard (NDS). Map data vendors such as Tele Atlas and Navteq create the base map in a GDF (Geographic Data Files) format, but each electronics manufacturer compiles it in an optimized, usually proprietary manner. GDF is not a CD standard for car navigation systems. GDF is used and converted onto the CD-ROM in the internal format of the navigation system. CDF (CARiN Database Format) is a proprietary navigation map format created by Philips.

SDAL is a proprietary map format developed by Navteq, which was released royalty free in the hope that it would become an industry standard for digital navigation maps, has not been very widely adopted by the industry. Vendors who used this format include:

The Navigation Data Standard (NDS) initiative, is an industry grouping of car manufacturers, navigation system suppliers and map data suppliers whose objective is the standardization of the data format used in car navigation systems, as well as allow a map update capability. The NDS effort began in 2004 and became a registered association in 2009.[24] Standardization would improve interoperability, specifically by allowing the same navigation maps to be used in navigation systems from 20 manufacturers.[25] Companies involved include BMW, Volkswagen, Daimler, Renault, ADIT, Aisin AW, Alpine Electronics, Navigon, Navis-AMS, Bosch, DENSO, Mitsubishi, Harman International Industries, Panasonic, Preh Car Connect formerly TechniSat, PTV, Continental AG, Clarion, Navteq, Navinfo Archived 2020-08-01 at the Wayback Machine, TomTom and Zenrin.

Many vehicle manufacturers offer a satellite navigation device as an option in their vehicles. Customers whose vehicles did not ship with GNSS can therefore purchase and retrofit the original factory-supplied GNSS unit. In some cases this can be a straightforward "plug-and-play" installation if the required wiring harness is already present in the vehicle. However, with some manufacturers, new wiring is required, making the installation more complex.

Establishing points of interest in real-time and transmitting them via GSM cellular telephone networks using the Short Message Service (SMS) is referred to as Gps2sms. Some vehicles and vessels are equipped with hardware that is able to automatically send an SMS text message when a particular event happens, such as theft, anchor drift or breakdown. The receiving party (e.g., a tow truck) can store the waypoint in a computer system, draw a map indicating the location, or see it in an automotive navigation system.

I have my iPhone's language set to English in Settings, but I live in a non-English speaking country. As such, when using turn-by-turn navigation, street names are pronounced as though they were English words, and are barely recognizable.

You can now set voice search language in the app. There is a mic icon on the right in the search box that you can tap to basically dictate the location. While that doesn't apply to your question, perhaps that would be a first, mildly helpful step.

Ah! The popular car navigation system! It is a blessing for car owners who are lost while trying to reach a particular location. The car navigation system offers different functions such as tracking down specific areas and helping a driver pass through unfamiliar routes.

In short, it is a convenience to the drivers of private and commercial vehicles. The car navigation system, known as GPS (Global Positioning System), collects the vehicle position data and synchronizes it with the existing road maps.

However, the GPS would become useless; if it functions in a language that the driver does not understand. Many car owners who have bought cars used in the Land of Rising Sun, aka Japan are confused about how to change Japanese car navigation to English.

When you purchase a vehicle from an Asian country, especially Japan, you can expect the GPS to display everything in the Japanese language. If you are a native speaker and have a good command of the language, then good luck. The issue comes with those who are not familiar with a navigation system functioning in another language.

At times, the navigation system might not automatically change language preference as per the driver. In such scenarios, you need to look for an option such as Language or LANG. Press this button, and choose the English language as default. It is another essential step to help drivers change the language of GPS from Japanese to English. The step can come in handy when the GPS works in any other language except the one known to the driver.

I recently arrived here for the first time. I depend on audio navigation when walking and riding YouBikes. However, I like to learn street names, and of course the English voice butchers them. Combined with the ad-hoc Romanization used here, it's not really that helpful.

In 1987, Japan gave the automotive world two less known but important advances in navigation technology. The Japan-only Toyota Crown Royal Saloon G was the first with an in-dash CD-ROM mapped dead reckoning navigation system and first with color display.

In 1997, the Japanese company Alpine introduced their version of a pop-out CD-ROM (stored map) navigation system which used GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites. Each CD disc containing mapping data only covered a few states. However, this system would allow retrofitting and any car buyer could add GPS to his car.

In this study, we propose an indoor navigation system that utilizes visible light communication technology, which employs LED lights and a geomagnetic correction method, aimed at supporting visually impaired people who travel indoors. To verify the effectiveness of this system, we conducted an experiment targeting visually impaired people. Although acquiring accurate positional information and detecting directions indoors is difficult, we confirmed that using this system, accurate positional information and travel direction can be obtained utilizing visible light communication technology, which employs LED lights, and correcting the values of the geomagnetic sensor integrated in a smartphone. 17dc91bb1f
