This chapter introduces kapten. It presents the background to its
development, the needs it meets and the technology it is based upon.
This chapter also covers the technical characteristics of kapten and
includes a visual presentation of the product.
The current chapter is divided up into the following sections:
•A brief presentation of kapten

kapten User Guide
1.1 A brief presentation of kapten
Modern society is characterised by the increasing mobility of citizens from all
around the world. Everywhere you go, multimedia content is being exchanged
or transferred from one environment to another and people are swapping
points of view, sharing cultures, resources and even experiences from the four
corners of the planet.
Something was needed to bring all this activity together in harmony. Today,
thanks to the company Kapsys, a solution has been found.
That solution is right in front of you now. Its name: kapten.
kapten is the first of its kind from the Smart Urban Navigator generation. It is
an innovative mobile navigation system principally based on satellite
geolocation (GPS) and vocal interaction (speech synthesis and voice
recognition).
However, kapten is so much more than a "simple GPS sat nav" system. You
can take advantage of its intelligence to enhance all your urban experiences:
• find the best routes whatever your mode of transport (by foot, bicycle,
motorbike or car);
• never be without your favourite music by downloading audio files or saving
FM radio stations;
• make or receive calls at any time, and speak with your contact using
Bluetooth;
• use the community platform (www.kapsys.com) to share experiences and
the addresses of great spots, to manage your kapten settings and content
and to buy on-line items such as new navigation maps or accessories etc.;
• geotag the best restaurants, museums, parks, bars etc. that you come
across
"Geotagging" a location means saving its geographical
position and attributing certain information to it via a
dedicated interface or web site

1.2 The technology used
Despite its small size - barely bigger than a credit card - kapten contains an
impressive range of advanced technologies:
• a GPS navigation system with a map of France;
• a speech synthesis system;
• a voice-recognition system;
• an MP3 player;
• an FM radio receiver;
• a Bluetooth interface;
• a USB connection.
The paragraphs below provide a brief description of this technology and how it
is applied in kapten.
GPS
The GPS system (Global Positioning System) is the first satellite geolocation
system in the world. The system's 24 satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of
20 200km. Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, it enables
anyone with access to a GPS receiver to find out their position on Earth and
is accurate to within 10 metres.
In order for the user to be able to effectively "navigate" using a navigation
system, the satellite data must be associated to map-based data and
processed by a navigation engine.
Map-based data provides typological information for a given area of the Earth's
surface (a country, city etc.) to which various attributes are associated: name,
speed limits, height and weight limits etc. This information also covers various
points of interest: restaurants, cinemas, museums, garages etc.
The navigation engine is a software system based on GPS satellite data and
map-based data which guides the user from point A to point B on the surface
of the planet. kapten's navigation engine applies a certain number of
navigation rules, depending on the user's navigation mode (See «Navigating
with the GPS function», page 38)
