摘要： A method and apparatus for a navigation system automatically assigns or allows a user to assign a brand icon to a particular location. The navigation system displays the assigned brand icon as well as generic icons on a map image. Thus, the navigation system enables the user to quickly distinguish a particular place such as a point of interest (POI) from other similar type of POIs on a map image. The user can identify a particular chain restaurant from other restaurant by the brand icon unique to the particular chain restaurant on the map image so that the user can easily specify the favorite restaurant as a destination.

摘要： A method and apparatus for selecting a desired point of interest (“POI”) for a navigation system displays matching brand icons associated with POIs to assist the user in finding an intended POI. When the user inputs characters indicating a POI name or a POI type, or selecting a POI type from a list, the navigation system displays brand icons of the POI name or POI type. When the user selects one of the brand icons, the navigation system lists the POIs associated with the brand icons in the predetermined order such as distance from the current vehicle position. Since the number of brand icons are limited, and each brand icon has a readily recognizable image, the user can quickly find a desired POI by selecting a brand icon.
摘要翻译：用于选择用于导航系统的期望兴趣点（“POI”）的方法和装置显示与POI相关联的匹配品牌图标以帮助用户找到预期的POI。当用户输入指示POI名称或POI类型的字符，或从列表中选择POI类型时，导航系统显示POI名称或POI类型的品牌图标。当用户选择一个品牌图标时，导航系统按照与当前车辆位置的距离的预定顺序列出与品牌图标相关联的POI。由于品牌图标的数量有限，并且每个品牌图标具有容易识别的图像，所以用户可以通过选择品牌图标来快速找到所需的POI。

摘要： A method and apparatus for entering an address for a navigation system allows a user to easily and quickly select a key indicating the next character of the address. At the start of operation, the navigation system shows a full alpha-numeric keyboard. Once the next candidate characters are narrowed down to a certain degree, the navigation system shows a simplified keyboard with a limited number of keys on the monitor screen and highlights the next candidate characters on the simplified keyboard. The navigation system displays both the simplified keyboard and a street name list on the same screen. Since the keys of the limited number are arranged within a small space such as in the three-by-three manner, the user can easily point a cursor or other pointing device to the desired key.
摘要翻译：用于输入导航系统的地址的方法和装置允许用户容易且快速地选择指示地址的下一个字符的键。在操作开始时，导航系统显示一个完整的字母数字键盘。一旦下一个候选人物被缩小到一定程度，导航系统就会在监视器屏幕上显示一个键盘数量有限的简化键盘，并突出显示简化键盘上的下一个候选人物。导航系统在同一屏幕上同时显示简化的键盘和街道名单。由于有限数量的键被排列在诸如三位三通的小空间中，所以用户可以容易地将光标或其他指示装置指向所需的键。
