- GPS is a satellite-radio based navigation system capable of determining continuous position, velocity, time, and in some instances direction information for an unlimited number of users.
- the GPS incorporates a plurality of satellites which work with the earth in extremely precise orbits. Based on these precise orbits, GPS satellites can relay their location to any number of receiving units.
- the GPS system is implemented when a device, specially equipped to receive GPS data, begins scanning radio frequencies for GPS satellite signals. Upon receiving a radio signal from a GPS satellite, the device determines the precise location of that satellite via one of a plurality of different conventional methods. The device will continue scanning, in most instances, for signals until it has acquired at least three different satellite signals (noting that position is not normally, but can be determined, with only two signals using other triangulation techniques). Implementing geometric triangulation, the receiver utilizes the three known positions to determine its own two-dimensional position relative to the satellites. This can be done in a known manner. Additionally, acquiring a fourth satellite signal will allow the receiving device to calculate its three dimensional position by the same geometrical calculation in a known manner. The position and velocity data can be updated in real time on a continuous basis by an unlimited number of users.
- the GPS system is denoted generally by reference numeral 100 .
- a plurality of satellites 120 are in orbit about the earth 124 .
- the orbit of each satellite 120 is not necessarily synchronous with the orbits of other satellites 120 and, in fact, is likely asynchronous.
- a GPS receiver 140 usable in embodiments of navigation devices of the present application, is shown receiving spread spectrum GPS satellite signals 160 from the various satellites 120 .
- the spread spectrum signals 160 continuously transmitted from each satellite 120 , utilize a highly accurate frequency standard accomplished with an extremely accurate atomic clock.
- Each satellite 120 as part of its data signal transmission 160 , transmits a data stream indicative of that particular satellite 120 .
- the GPS receiver device 140 generally acquires spread spectrum GPS satellite signals 160 from at least three satellites 120 for the GPS receiver device 140 to calculate its two-dimensional position by triangulation. Acquisition of an additional signal, resulting in signals 160 from a total of four satellites 120 , permits the GPS receiver device 140 to calculate its three-dimensional position in a known manner.

- a wireless call may be received at a mobile unit, or navigation prompt may be necessary.
- a mobile unit enabling hands-free call access may be operatively connected to the navigation device 200 / 400 .
- the mobile unit may prompt or send an interruption signal to the navigation device 200 / 400 .
- the interruption signal may be an indication to answer the call using hands-free mode, for example.
- the navigation device 200 / 400 may simply patch through the wireless call and continue playback of the audio file(s). However, according to example embodiments, navigation device 200 / 400 may lower the volume on the playback device and/or pause audio file playback.
- the navigation device 200 / 400 may store a playback state of the audio file in response to the interruption signal.
- the playback state may be stored in a memory of the navigation device 200 / 400 for example, a database of the navigation device 200 / 400 for example, or any suitable storage medium accessible by the navigation device 200 / 400 .

- the navigation application may store the interruption state and interrupt audio playback to enable the navigation prompt.
- a user may retain the current position of audio file playback such that less user interaction may be necessary to continue listening to a current audio file. For example, instead of manually pausing or stopping audio file playback to receive a wireless telephone call, the user may appreciate automatic pausing or saving of an audio file state such that playback may be resumed at a later time.
- the user may continue listening to the audio file after the call is terminated, or after navigation prompts are received.
- the navigation device 200 / 400 may detect that the current geographic location of the navigation device 200 / 400 is in proximity to a route change or correction change to necessary to continue on a current route. Therefore, it may be necessary for the navigation device 200 / 400 to prompt the driver of the vehicle to begin braking or enable a turn signal such that the route may continue to be followed. It would be appreciated that if the navigation prompts were simply given during audio file playback, the user may have difficulty interpreting the navigation prompts. Therefore, according to example embodiments, the navigation device 200 / 400 may lower volume on the playback device, pause audio file playback, or interrupt audio playback. In this manner, the audio file may resume playback after receipt of the audio prompts, or at a later time as deemed necessary by the user.

For example, default settings chosen by the user may direct the navigation device 200 / 400 to resume playback after a navigation prompt is successfully transferred, or after a wireless hands-free is call is terminated. Thereafter, playback of the audio file may be resumed until subsequent calls are received or until subsequent navigation prompts are necessary. Similarly, the navigation device 200 / 400 may prompt the user to choose whether to resume audio file playback. For example, the navigation device 200 / 400 may display a graphical choice on a display device. The user may subsequently, using an input device, choose whether to resume playback.
- a playback device may include but is not limited to a car stereo a HI-FI playback device, the navigation device 200 / 400 itself, etc.
- the car stereo may be operatively connected to the navigation device 200 / 400 such that audio information may be transferred to the car stereo and playback may occur through speakers in the vehicle.
- the navigation device 200 / 400 may include an internal speaker such that audio files may be played back on the internal speaker.
- a music player or portable music player may include an internal speaker or headphones such that playback may occur on the music player. Therefore, a playback device may include but is not limited to a car stereo, a navigation device 200 / 400 , a portable music player, etc.
- FIGS. 6A-6C illustrate methods of determining subsequent playback, according to example embodiments.
- the logical determination decision 550 is depicted in FIGS. 6A , 6 B, and 6 C.
- the navigation device 200 / 400 may determine whether audio playback has been muted. For example, playback may have been muted in response to receipt of a wireless hands-free telephone call or during transmission of a navigation prompt. Subsequent to determining whether playback has been muted, the navigation device 200 / 400 may thereafter restore a default or desired volume stored on the navigation device 200 / 400 . In this manner, playback of the audio file may resume using a default or desired volume.
- the navigation device 200 / 400 may determine whether playback has been paused. For example, playback may have been paused in response to receipt of a wireless hands-free telephone call or during transmission of a navigation prompt. Subsequent to determining whether playback has been paused, the navigation device 200 / 400 may restore a previous state of audio file playback. For example, the navigation application may prompt the jukebox application to begin playback at the previously paused or stored state. In this manner, playback of audio file(s) may resume at a stored or paused state.

- The present application generally relates to navigation devices. For example, example embodiments of the present application may relate to integration of audio features with a navigation device.
- Global Positioning System (GPS) equipped navigation devices are becoming more common. Conventionally, such navigation devices may provide a user with the ability to locate their current geographic position based on communications with multiple satellites. The user may wish to mount the navigation device into an automobile, onto a motorcycle, or onto some other form of personal transportation, such that their current geographical position may be available while in transit to a desired geographical location. Navigation devices may be relatively simple to use while in transit, and may have familiar touch-screen interfaces which enhance user interaction with the devices. However, a typical navigation device which prompts for directions while in transit may interfere with the user's interactions with other aspects of a vehicle, including audio features within the vehicle.
- For example, a user may wish to listen to a car stereo or HI-FI audio playback device while in transit to a desired location. While listening to audio playback, the user may further wish to receive audio navigation prompts from a navigation device. However, the voice prompt of the navigation device may interfere with the audio playback of the audio device. As such, it may be difficult for a user to interpret navigation prompts while using a playback device, for example.
- Similarly, a user may wish to enable hands-free voice calls with a mobile device while in transit to a desired geographical location. While in transit, the user may be actively conversing or alternatively actively listening using a mobile device on a voice call. Therefore, if navigation prompts are necessary from the navigation device, it may be difficult for the user to interpret prompts while actively conversing on the mobile device.
- It may be desirable to have integration of audio features with a navigation device to overcome at least one of the problems listed above, in addition to other issues in audio feature integration. Therefore, according to at least one example embodiment of the present application, a navigation device, and methods of implementing audio features on navigation devices are disclosed. For example, integrated navigation systems including navigation devices are disclosed which may enhance user interaction with multiple devices while in transit to a desired geographical location.
- According to an example embodiment, a method of integrating audio features using a navigation device may include receiving an interruption signal for interruption of audio playback, determining to interrupt audio playback using the navigation device in response to receipt of the interruption signal, and storing an interruption state of audio playback upon determining to interrupt the audio playback.
- According to an example embodiment, a navigation device may include means for receiving an interruption signal for interruption of audio playback, means for determining to interrupt audio playback using the navigation device in response to receipt of the interruption signal, and means for storing an interruption state of audio playback upon determining to interrupt the audio playback.
- According to an example embodiment, a navigation device may include a processor to receive an interruption signal for interruption of audio playback and to determine to interrupt audio playback using the navigation device in response to receipt of the interruption signal, and memory to store an interruption state of audio playback upon determining to interrupt the audio playback.
- The present application will be described in more detail below by using example embodiments, which will be explained with the aid of the drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an example view of a Global Positioning System (GPS); -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example block diagram of electronic components of a navigation device of an embodiment of the present application; -

FIGS. 6A-6C illustrate methods of determining subsequent playback, according to example embodiments. - The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “includes” and/or “including”, when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
- In describing example embodiments illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. However, the disclosure of this patent specification is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner.
- Referencing the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, example embodiments of the present patent application are hereafter described.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an example view of Global Positioning System (GPS), usable by navigation devices, including the navigation device of embodiments of the present application. Such systems are known and are used for a variety of purposes. In general, GPS is a satellite-radio based navigation system capable of determining continuous position, velocity, time, and in some instances direction information for an unlimited number of users. - Formerly known as NAVSTAR, the GPS incorporates a plurality of satellites which work with the earth in extremely precise orbits. Based on these precise orbits, GPS satellites can relay their location to any number of receiving units.
- The GPS system is implemented when a device, specially equipped to receive GPS data, begins scanning radio frequencies for GPS satellite signals. Upon receiving a radio signal from a GPS satellite, the device determines the precise location of that satellite via one of a plurality of different conventional methods. The device will continue scanning, in most instances, for signals until it has acquired at least three different satellite signals (noting that position is not normally, but can be determined, with only two signals using other triangulation techniques). Implementing geometric triangulation, the receiver utilizes the three known positions to determine its own two-dimensional position relative to the satellites. This can be done in a known manner. Additionally, acquiring a fourth satellite signal will allow the receiving device to calculate its three dimensional position by the same geometrical calculation in a known manner. The position and velocity data can be updated in real time on a continuous basis by an unlimited number of users.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the GPS system is denoted generally byreference numeral 100. A plurality ofsatellites 120 are in orbit about theearth 124. The orbit of eachsatellite 120 is not necessarily synchronous with the orbits ofother satellites 120 and, in fact, is likely asynchronous. AGPS receiver 140, usable in embodiments of navigation devices of the present application, is shown receiving spread spectrumGPS satellite signals 160 from thevarious satellites 120. - The
spread spectrum signals 160, continuously transmitted from eachsatellite 120, utilize a highly accurate frequency standard accomplished with an extremely accurate atomic clock. Eachsatellite 120, as part of itsdata signal transmission 160, transmits a data stream indicative of thatparticular satellite 120. It is appreciated by those skilled in the relevant art that theGPS receiver device 140 generally acquires spread spectrumGPS satellite signals 160 from at least threesatellites 120 for theGPS receiver device 140 to calculate its two-dimensional position by triangulation. Acquisition of an additional signal, resulting insignals 160 from a total of foursatellites 120, permits theGPS receiver device 140 to calculate its three-dimensional position in a known manner. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example block diagram of electronic components of anavigation device 200 of an embodiment of the present application, in block component format. It should be noted that the block diagram of thenavigation device 200 is not inclusive of all components of the navigation device, but is only representative of many example components. - The
navigation device 200 is located within a housing (not shown). The housing includes aprocessor 210 connected to aninput device 220 and adisplay screen 240. Theinput device 220 can include a keyboard device, voice input device, and/or any other known input device utilized to input information; and thedisplay screen 240 can include any type of display screen such as an LCD display, for example. In at least one embodiment of the present application, theinput device 220 anddisplay screen 240 are integrated into an integrated input and display device, including a touchpad or touchscreen input wherein a user need only touch a portion of thedisplay screen 240 to select one of a plurality of display choices or to activate one of a plurality of virtual buttons. - In addition, other types of
output devices 250 can also include, including but not limited to, an audible output device. Asoutput device 250 can produce audible information to a user of thenavigation device 200, it is equally understood thatinput device 240 can also include a microphone and software for receiving input voice commands as well. - In the
navigation device 200,processor 210 is operatively connected to and set to receive input information frominput device 240 via aconnection 225, and operatively connected to at least one ofdisplay screen 240 andoutput device 250, viaoutput connections 245, to output information thereto. Further, theprocessor 210 is operatively connected tomemory 230 viaconnection 235 and is further adapted to receive/send information from/to input/output (I/O)ports 270 viaconnection 275, wherein the I/O port 270 is connectable to an I/O device 280 external to thenavigation device 200. The external I/O device 270 may include, but is not limited to an external listening device such as an earpiece for example. The connection to I/O device 280 can further be a wired or wireless connection to any other external device such as a car stereo unit for hands-free operation and/or for voice activated operation for example, for connection to an ear piece or head phones, and/or for connection to a mobile phone for example, wherein the mobile phone connection may be used to establish a data connection between thenavigation device 200 and the internet or any other network for example, and/or to establish a connection to a server via the internet or some other network for example. -
FIG. 2 further illustrates an operative connection between theprocessor 210 and an antenna/receiver 250 viaconnection 255, wherein the antenna/receiver 250 can be a GPS antenna/receiver for example. It will be understood that the antenna and receiver designated byreference numeral 250 are combined schematically for illustration, but that the antenna and receiver may be separately located components, and that the antenna may be a GPS patch antenna or helical antenna for example. - It should be understood that the
processor 210 ofnavigation device 200 is capable of executing software and program instructions to achieve a desired result. For example, theprocessor 210 is capable of processing a navigation application, and any other application. The other application may be a customized application or, according to example embodiments, a jukebox application for audio playback. In addition, theprocessor 210 is capable of retrieving and storing instructions from/tomemory 230, data from/tomemory 230, and audio files or other file information from/tomemory 230. Therefore, the navigation device includes means for processing a navigation application, means for processing a jukebox application, means for storing audio information, means for retrieving audio information, and/or other suitable means. For example, an I/O device, as described above, may communicate withprocessor 210 such that information retrieved form the I/O device may be processed by an application with theprocessor 210. - Further, it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the electronic components shown in
FIG. 2 are powered by power sources (not shown) in a conventional manner. As will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, different configurations of the components shown inFIG. 2 are considered within the scope of the present application. For example, in one embodiment, the components shown inFIG. 2 may be in communication with one another via wired and/or wireless connections and the like. Thus, the scope of thenavigation device 200 of the present application includes a portable orhandheld navigation device 200. - In addition, the portable or
handheld navigation device 200 ofFIG. 2 can be connected or “docked” in a known manner to a motorized vehicle such as a car or boat for example. Such anavigation device 200 is then removable from the docked location for portable or handheld navigation use. -
FIG. 3 illustrates an example block diagram of aserver 302 and anavigation device 200 of the present application, via ageneric communications channel 318, of an embodiment of the present application. Theserver 302 and anavigation device 200 of the present application can communicate when a connection viacommunications channel 318 is established between theserver 302 and the navigation device 200 (noting that such a connection can be a data connection via mobile device, a direct connection via personal computer via the internet, etc.). - The
server 302 includes, in addition to other components which may not be illustrated, aprocessor 304 operatively connected to amemory 306 and further operatively connected, via a wired orwireless connection 314, to a massdata storage device 312. Theprocessor 304 is further operatively connected totransmitter 308 andreceiver 310, to transmit and send information to and fromnavigation device 200 viacommunications channel 318. The signals sent and received may include data, communication, and/or other propagated signals. Thetransmitter 308 andreceiver 310 may be selected or designed according to the communications requirement and communication technology used in the communication design for thenavigation system 200. Further, it should be noted that the functions oftransmitter 308 andreceiver 310 may be combined into a signal transceiver. -
Server 302 is further connected to (or includes) amass storage device 312, noting that themass storage device 312 may be coupled to theserver 302 viacommunication link 314. Themass storage device 312 contains a store of navigation data and map information, and can again be a separate device from theserver 302 or can be incorporated into theserver 302. - The
navigation device 200 is adapted to communicate with theserver 302 throughcommunications channel 318, and includes processor, memory, etc. as previously described with regard toFIG. 2 , as well astransmitter 320 andreceiver 322 to send and receive signals and/or data through thecommunications channel 318, noting that these devices can further be used to communicate with devices other thanserver 302. Further, thetransmitter 320 andreceiver 322 are selected or designed according to communication requirements and communication technology used in the communication design for thenavigation device 200 and the functions of thetransmitter 320 andreceiver 322 may be combined into a single transceiver. - Software stored in
server memory 306 provides instructions for theprocessor 304 and allows theserver 302 to provide services to thenavigation device 200. One service provided by theserver 302 involves processing requests from thenavigation device 200 and transmitting navigation data from themass data storage 312 to thenavigation device 200. According to at least one embodiment of the present application, another service provided by theserver 302 includes processing the navigation data using various algorithms for a desired application and sending the results of these calculations to thenavigation device 200. - The
communication channel 318 generically represents the propagating medium or path that connects thenavigation device 200 and theserver 302. According to at least one embodiment of the present application, both theserver 302 andnavigation device 200 include a transmitter for transmitting data through the communication channel and a receiver for receiving data that has been transmitted through the communication channel. - The

FIG. 4 illustrates an integrated navigation system, according to an example embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 4 , a navigation device 400 (which can include all of the elements/interconnections ofnavigation device 200 above, wherein the numbers are merely changes for consistency with the figures) may include a plurality of applications running thereon. For example, anavigation device 400 may process a navigation application 406 such that the user of the navigation device may receive information pertaining to current geographical locations, or a desired geographical location. - For example, the navigation application 406 may allow the user to traverse different routes and locate desired geographical locations. The navigation application 406 may include programming to communicate with I/O devices, as described above with reference to
FIG. 2 . Furthermore, the navigation application 406 may provide voice-prompts associated with routes being traversed by the navigation device. For example, upon detection that thenavigation device 400 is within proximity to a navigation point or change, the navigation application 406 may determine that a voice-prompt is necessary to alert the user of the navigation point or change. The point or change may be at least one of a necessary change in route, a necessary change in direction, a change in street name, a point of interest, and an endpoint of a current route, however, example embodiments should not be limited to only these examples. - In addition to the navigation application 406, the
navigation device 400 may also process ajukebox application 405 such that a user may listen to audio files stored on thenavigation device 400. As illustrated, thejukebox application 405 may be processed at substantially the same time as the navigation application 406, on thenavigation device 400. - Further illustrated in
FIG. 4 is an operative connection betweennavigation device 400 and a music player 410. The music player 410 may be a typical music player, storing music files from a personal computer or computing device of a user. The music player 410 may have a plurality of different audio files stored thereon, and may allow a user to output music to an external speaker, external headphones, or alternatively, an internal speaker of the music player 410. Additionally, the music player 410 may be equipped with a wireless communication connection or available physical communication connection, such thatnavigation device 400 may communicate therewith. For example, the connection may be a BLUETOOTH connection, universal serial bus connection (USB), or any suitable connection. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 4 , the operative connection between the music player 410 and thenavigation device 400 may allow communication betweenjukebox application 405 and the music player 410. For example, thejukebox player application 405 may remotely control the music player 410 such that audio files stored on music player 410 are played according to instructions received from thejukebox application 405. Any available remote communication protocol may be used, or alternatively, a remote communication protocol may be provided by the music player 410. For example, the music player 410 may employ a client/server communication protocol such that instructions may be transmitted, by thenavigation device 400, to the music player 410. Upon receipt of the instructions, the music player 410 may operate according to the received instructions. The instructions may include play, stop, rewind, fast-forward, skip, load play-list, dump play-list, or any other instruction which enables remote control of the music player 410. The instructions may be generated by thejukebox application 405, and may be transmitted over the communications protocol described above. - For example, the
jukebox application 405 may initiate playback, pause playback, stop playback, store playback, or alter playback of audio files on the music player 410. - Furthermore, an operative connection between music player 410 and
car stereo 420 is illustrated inFIG. 4 . It will be understood that this operative connection is optional, and it may be severed or omitted without departing from the scope of example embodiments. For example, playback of audio files may occur solely on the music player 410, or alternatively, through an internal speaker of thenavigation device 400. - The music player 410 may output audio file information to
car stereo 420 such that audio playback may occur on thecar stereo 420. The connection between music player 410 andcar stereo 420 is in contrast tonavigation device 400 in that music player 410 may simply output analog music information being during playback on music player 410 such that the audio information is played through speakers connected tocar stereo 420. Alternatively, a digital connection may be employed between music player 410 andcar stereo 420 such that digitally encoded audio information is transmitted tocar stereo 420. - As also illustrated in
FIG. 4 , thenavigation device 400 may include an operative connection tocar stereo 420. For example the operative connection may include a wireless connection, a hardwired connection, or any suitable connection such that audio information may be transmitted fromnavigation device 400 tocar stereo 420. In this manner, thejukebox application 405 may process audio files and direct transmission to thecar stereo 420. Similarly, navigation application 406 may direct voice-prompts to thecar stereo 420 such that they may be audible from speakers connected to thecar stereo 420. -
FIG. 4 further illustrates an operative connection betweennavigation device 400 andmobile device 430. The operative connection may include a wireless or hardwired connection, such that thenavigation device 400 may enable hands-free calling and other features included indevice 430. It will also be understood that the operative connection betweennavigation device 400 andmobile device 430 is optional, and may be severed or omitted without departing from the scope of example embodiments. - Hereinafter, a more detailed description of an example embodiment of the
jukebox application 405 will be given. - In the
jukebox application 405, a user may select and begin playback of audio files for the navigation device. For example, the audio files may be in MP3 format or any standard audio format such that playback may occur on thenavigation device 400. Using thejukebox application 405, the user may select a set of songs to play which are subsequently played one after the other. Other options may be available in thejukebox application 405 such that a selected set may be played at random order, the user may specify which song to start playback during a particular set of songs, or other options. For example, thejukebox application 405 may have virtual stop, skip, restart, pause, or other options which may substantially similar to audio playback programs and applications available on other devices. However, it will be appreciated that thejukebox application 405 may be tailored to be processed on thenavigation device 400 alongside the navigation application 406. Therefore, thejukebox application 405 may more stably interact with the navigation application 406. For example, thejukebox application 405 may be tailored or customized to communicate with the navigation application 406. - Therefore, the
jukebox application 405 may play audio files and audio information contained therein, and may communicate with the navigation application 406. - It should be further noted that audio files may contain, alongside audio information, pertinent information about the data contained therein. For example, the audio file may contain useful data concerning song titles, book titles, artist, albums, track numbers, composers, genres, and at the very least, a file name pertaining to the title of the audio file. Furthermore, the audio files may be in a format decipherable by the navigation device or a music player operatively connected to the navigation device.
- Further examples of audio files may include audio books. For example, an audio book audio file may be an audio file containing spoken information about a text or book. A text or book may be dictated and recorded, or alternatively, translated using a text to speech application such that a user may listen to spoken words pertaining to the text. In this manner, a driver of an automobile may simultaneously listen to a desired text or book while operating a vehicle.
- With regards to storage of audio files on the
navigation device 400, it would be appreciated that the audio files may be stored on a portable memory or a storage disk, internal memory of thenavigation device 400, a database within thenavigation device 400, or any suitable means to store audio file information such that playback may occur using thejukebox application 405 on thenavigation device 400. - Furthermore, audio files including MP3 files and audio books may be downloaded using an internet service provider or an audio file server. For example, an audio file server may be substantially similar to the server illustrated in
FIG. 3 . The downloaded audio files may be stored on thenavigation device 400 such that playback may occur usingjukebox application 405. For example, a user of a computer device may use the computer device to download audio files from the internet. Thereafter, the audio files may be transferred to a removable storage medium such that they may be inserted into thenavigation device 400. Upon insertion, thejukebox application 405 on thenavigation device 400 may access the audio files and present playback for the user of thenavigation device 400. Similarly, a user of the computer device may transfer the audio files directly to thenavigation device 400 using a wireless protocol. Alternatively, the user may direct thenavigation device 400 to download the audio files from the audio file server. - A detailed description of an example embodiment of operation of an integrated navigation system including audio file playback, for example as illustrated in
FIG. 4 , will be described hereinafter in more detail with reference toFIG. 5 . -
FIG. 5 illustrates a method of implementing audio features on a navigation device, according to an example embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , a navigation device may play audio files using a jukebox application on thenavigation device 200/400. For example, the audio files may be stored on a database or memory of thenavigation device 200/400, and thenavigation device 200/400 may be substantially similar to the navigation devices illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 4 . Similarly, the jukebox application referenced inFIG. 5 may be substantially similar to the jukebox application 406 illustrated inFIG. 4 . - During playback of the audio files, an interruption may be determined as appropriate by the
navigation device 200/400. For example, a wireless call may be received at a mobile unit, or navigation prompt may be necessary. With regards to a call received, a mobile unit enabling hands-free call access may be operatively connected to thenavigation device 200/400. If a call is received on the mobile unit, the mobile unit may prompt or send an interruption signal to thenavigation device 200/400. The interruption signal may be an indication to answer the call using hands-free mode, for example. Conventionally, thenavigation device 200/400 may simply patch through the wireless call and continue playback of the audio file(s). However, according to example embodiments,navigation device 200/400 may lower the volume on the playback device and/or pause audio file playback. - For example, the
navigation device 200/400 may store a playback state of the audio file in response to the interruption signal. The playback state may be stored in a memory of thenavigation device 200/400 for example, a database of thenavigation device 200/400 for example, or any suitable storage medium accessible by thenavigation device 200/400. The playback state (a state representing the interruption, or an interruption state) may enable the jukebox application to resume or restore playback of the audio file(s) at a later time. Similarly, the jukebox application may store the interruption state in response to an interruption signal generated by thenavigation device 200/400. For example, thenavigation device 200/400, interpreting that a call is being received at the mobile device, may transmit an interruption signal to the jukebox application such that the jukebox application may store the interruption state. - With regards to a navigation prompt being appropriate, the navigation application may deem a navigation change or navigation point to be in proximity of the current geographical location of the navigation device. For example, the change or point may be substantially similar to the examples listed above. If a navigation prompt is necessary, the navigation application may transmit the interruption signal to the jukebox application, such that the jukebox application may store the state of audio playback. Alternatively, the navigation application may store the interruption state and interrupt audio playback to enable the navigation prompt.
- It will be appreciated that through storing an audio file playback state of interruption, a user may retain the current position of audio file playback such that less user interaction may be necessary to continue listening to a current audio file. For example, instead of manually pausing or stopping audio file playback to receive a wireless telephone call, the user may appreciate automatic pausing or saving of an audio file state such that playback may be resumed at a later time.
- For example, the user may continue listening to the audio file after the call is terminated, or after navigation prompts are received. For reference to navigation prompts, the
navigation device 200/400 may detect that the current geographic location of thenavigation device 200/400 is in proximity to a route change or correction change to necessary to continue on a current route. Therefore, it may be necessary for thenavigation device 200/400 to prompt the driver of the vehicle to begin braking or enable a turn signal such that the route may continue to be followed. It would be appreciated that if the navigation prompts were simply given during audio file playback, the user may have difficulty interpreting the navigation prompts. Therefore, according to example embodiments, thenavigation device 200/400 may lower volume on the playback device, pause audio file playback, or interrupt audio playback. In this manner, the audio file may resume playback after receipt of the audio prompts, or at a later time as deemed necessary by the user. - As further illustrated by
FIG. 5 , thenavigation 200/400 may lower volume on the playback device, pause audio file playback, or interrupt audio playback may determine whether to resume playback. For example, default settings chosen by the user may direct thenavigation device 200/400 to resume playback after a navigation prompt is successfully transferred, or after a wireless hands-free is call is terminated. Thereafter, playback of the audio file may be resumed until subsequent calls are received or until subsequent navigation prompts are necessary. Similarly, thenavigation device 200/400 may prompt the user to choose whether to resume audio file playback. For example, thenavigation device 200/400 may display a graphical choice on a display device. The user may subsequently, using an input device, choose whether to resume playback. - With regards to a playback device performing playback, it will be understood that a playback device may include but is not limited to a car stereo a HI-FI playback device, the
navigation device 200/400 itself, etc. For example, the car stereo may be operatively connected to thenavigation device 200/400 such that audio information may be transferred to the car stereo and playback may occur through speakers in the vehicle. Similarly, thenavigation device 200/400 may include an internal speaker such that audio files may be played back on the internal speaker. Alternatively, a music player or portable music player may include an internal speaker or headphones such that playback may occur on the music player. Therefore, a playback device may include but is not limited to a car stereo, anavigation device 200/400, a portable music player, etc. - Therefore, according to example embodiments, methods of integrating audio features using
navigation devices 200/400 are disclosed. - It will be appreciated that several methods may be used to determine restoration of audio playback. For example, depending on the method of interruption (i.e., pausing playback, muting volume, lowering volume, storing interruption state, and/or any combination thereof), different restoration methods may be applicable.
FIGS. 6A-6C illustrate methods of determining subsequent playback, according to example embodiments. - For example, with reference to
FIG. 5 , thelogical determination decision 550 is depicted inFIGS. 6A , 6B, and 6C. - With reference to
FIG. 6A , thenavigation device 200/400 may determine whether audio playback has been muted. For example, playback may have been muted in response to receipt of a wireless hands-free telephone call or during transmission of a navigation prompt. Subsequent to determining whether playback has been muted, thenavigation device 200/400 may thereafter restore a default or desired volume stored on thenavigation device 200/400. In this manner, playback of the audio file may resume using a default or desired volume. - With reference to
FIG. 6B , thenavigation device 200/400 may determine whether playback has been paused. For example, playback may have been paused in response to receipt of a wireless hands-free telephone call or during transmission of a navigation prompt. Subsequent to determining whether playback has been paused, thenavigation device 200/400 may restore a previous state of audio file playback. For example, the navigation application may prompt the jukebox application to begin playback at the previously paused or stored state. In this manner, playback of audio file(s) may resume at a stored or paused state. - With reference to
FIG. 6C , thenavigation device 200/400 may determine whether volume has been lowered. For example, the volume of playback may have been lowered in response to receipt of a wireless hands-free telephone call or during transmission of a navigation prompt. Subsequent to determining whether the volume has been lowered, the navigation device may restore the default or previous playback volume such that the user may continue to listen to audio files as the previous playback volume. In this manner, user interaction with thenavigation device 200/400 may be limited such that the user may focus on navigation prompts, other audio features such as wireless hands-free telephone calls, or similar occurrences. - It should be noted that any combination of the above-described methods is intended to be within the scope of example embodiments. For example, a navigation or jukebox application may both mute and pause playback, lower volume and pause playback, store interruption state and mute playback, or any combination thereof. In determining audio playback restoration, the navigation application may resume and restore playback and restore volume, restore playback and use default volume, or any other combination thereof. As described above, navigation devices and processors therein may process both a navigation application and a jukebox application, determine whether to interrupt audio playback based on an interruption signal, and restore audio playback by a variety of methods. Therefore, example embodiments provide methods of integrating audio features with navigation devices. For example, in an embodiment, a method of integrating audio features using a navigation device includes receiving an interruption signal for interruption of audio playback; determining to interrupt audio playback using the navigation device in response to receipt of the interruption signal; and storing an interruption state of audio playback upon determining to interrupt the audio playback.
- Further, in an embodiment, a processor of a
navigation device 200/400 can be used to receive an interruption signal for interruption of audio playback and to determine to interrupt audio playback in response to receipt of the interruption signal. Further, thenavigation device 200/400 can include a memory to store an interruption state of audio playback upon determining to interrupt the audio playback. - Furthermore, the methods of at least one embodiment expressed above may be implemented as a computer data signal embodied in the carrier wave or propagated signal that represents a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor (such as
processor 304 ofserver 302, and/orprocessor 210 ofnavigation device 200 for example) causes the processor to perform a respective method.
