Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, devices, features, and methods for obtaining, enhancing, or using data for or with a geographic database, such as a navigation database, are disclosed. For example, one method includes receiving input to enable a probe sensor that is associated with a device used by a being with a physical disability. Geographic data is collected via the probe sensor when the device is in use by the being with the physical disability. The collected geographic data is provided to a data collection facility to develop data corresponding to a geographic and/or navigation database.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. A method of obtaining data for a navigation database, the method comprising: receiving input designating a physical disability type; receiving input to enable a probe sensor that is associated with a device used by a being with the physical disability type, wherein the device assists the being with movement; collecting geographic data and speed data via the probe sensor for multiple positions of a path when the device is in use by the being with the physical disabi…
