Title: Yasuki Hosoi: Innovator in Navigation Technology
Introduction
Yasuki Hosoi is a notable inventor based in Okazaki, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of navigation technology, holding 2 patents that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of navigation systems.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include a navigation system and a navigation method. The navigation system addresses the challenges faced when a detected current position deviates from a guidance route. In this system, a navigation device transmits a reroute calculation condition to an information distribution center, which includes the current position and the destination. The information distribution center then determines if the distance from the current position to the closest adjacent link is equal to or shorter than a predetermined distance. If the distance exceeds this limit, the center distributes reroute prohibition information to the navigation device, which includes details about the adjacent link and a maximum waiting time before a new reroute calculation can be transmitted.
The navigation method involves storing map data hierarchically, excluding the map data of a hierarchy level. The devices, methods, and programs read the stored map data and perform a route search within predetermined areas on both the departure point and destination sides. They acquire the shortest cost route within overlapping search areas. If a higher hierarchy level lacks map data, the system expands the search area to acquire the first shortest cost route and performs a route search in a higher hierarchy level to find a second shortest cost route. If the second route's cost is lower, the system updates the cost of the shortest cost route.
