Abstract

The invention relates to a method, to a device, and to a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for monitoring the movement of a transportation device. In one embodiment, first, information about the trajectory of the transportation device is received by a mobile device. The trajectory is then displayed on a display unit of the mobile device in the form of an augmented reality representation. In response thereto, an input of the user of the mobile device for influencing the trajectory is detected. Finally, information is transmitted to the transportation device on the basis of the input of the user.

Claims (44)

1. A method for monitoring a movement of a transportation device, comprising:

receiving information about a trajectory of the transportation device;

displaying the trajectory on a display of a mobile device in form of an augmented reality representation;

detecting an input of a user of the mobile device for influencing the trajectory; and

transmitting information to the transportation device on basis of the input of the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device receives and displays on the display information about obstacles, which are detected by a sensor system of the transportation device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the input of the user determines a destination for the transportation device, a path for the transportation device, or an information about an obstacle.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein environmental information detected by the mobile device is transmitted to the transportation device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input of the user determines a destination for the transportation device, a path for the transportation device, or an information about an obstacle.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user marks an obstacle on the display or classifies a marked obstacle.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein environmental information detected by the mobile device is transmitted to the transportation device.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein environmental information detected by the mobile device is transmitted to the transportation device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein environmental information detected by the mobile device is transmitted to the transportation device.

10. A method for planning a movement of a transportation device, comprising:

transmitting information about a trajectory of the transportation device to a mobile device;

receiving of information for influencing the trajectory from the mobile device based on input from a user of the mobile device; and

planning the movement of the transportation device on the basis of at least the received information.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein, during planning the movement, the transportation device receives and considers environmental information detected by the mobile device or information from other sources.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive information about a trajectory of a transportation device;

display the trajectory on a display of a mobile device in form of an augmented reality representation;

detect an input of a user of the mobile device for influencing the trajectory; and

transmit information to the transportation device on basis of the input of the user.

13. A device for monitoring a movement of a transportation device, comprising:

a receiving unit for receiving information about a trajectory of the transportation device;

a graphics unit for generating a representation of the trajectory on a display of a mobile device in the form of an augmented reality representation;

a user interface for detecting an input of a user of the mobile device for influencing the trajectory; and

a transmission unit for transmitting information to the transportation device based on the input of the user.

14. A device for planning a movement of a transportation device, comprising:

a transmission unit for transmitting information about a trajectory of the transportation device to a mobile device;

a receiving unit for receiving information for influencing the trajectory from the mobile device based on an input of a user of the mobile device; and

a movement planner for planning the movement of the transportation device based on at least the received information.

15. A transportation device, wherein the transportation device comprises a device comprising:

a transmission unit for transmitting information about a trajectory of the transportation device to a mobile device;

a receiving unit for receiving information for influencing the trajectory from the mobile device based on an input of a user of the mobile device; and

a movement planner for planning the movement of the transportation device based on at least the received information.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

transmit information about a trajectory of the transportation device to a mobile device;

receive information for influencing the trajectory from the mobile device based on input from a user of the mobile device; and

plan movement of the transportation device on the basis of at least the received information.

17. A transportation device, wherein the transportation device is configured to perform:

transmitting information about a trajectory of the transportation device to a mobile device;

receiving of information for influencing the trajectory from the mobile device based on input from a user of the mobile device; and

planning the movement of the transportation device on the basis of at least the received information.
