Abstract
A computer implemented method, system and computer program product are provided that obtain a directional dialogue comprising a series of instructions that at least partially defines a pathway through an environment, determine navigation actions associated with the pathway based on the series of instructions, track movement of an electronic device (ED) based on one or more of GPS data and non-GPS data; and present the navigation actions based on the movement.
Claims19
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- under the direction of one or more processors,
- obtaining a directional dialogue provided by a third party to a user of a portable first electronic device (ED), the directional dialogue comprising a series of instructions that at least partially defines a pathway for the user to follow through an environment;
- determining navigation actions associated with the pathway for the user to follow based on the series of instructions;
- tracking movement of the first ED based on one or more of GPS data and non-GPS data;
- and
- presenting the navigation actions based on the movement.
A system, comprising:
- a first electronic device (ED) configured to be portable, the first ED comprising:
- a user interface that includes an input configured to obtain a directional dialogue provided by a third party to a user of the first ED, the directional dialogue comprising a series of instructions that at least partially defines a pathway for the user to follow through an environment;
- a processor;
- a memory storing program instructions accessible by the processor, wherein, responsive to execution of the program instructions, the processor to perform the following:
- determine navigation actions associated with the pathway for the user to follow based on the series of instructions;
- and
- track movement of) the first ED based on one or more of GPS data and non-GPS data;
- and
- the user interface of the first ED configured to present the navigation actions based on the movement.
A computer program product comprising a non-signal computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable code to perform:
- obtaining a directional dialogue provided by a third party to a user of a portable first electronic device (ED), the directional dialogue comprising a series of instructions that at least partially defines a pathway for the user to follow through an environment;
- determining navigation actions associated with the pathway for the user to follow based on the series of instructions;
- tracking movement of the first ED based on one or more of GPS data and non-GPS data;
- and
- presenting the navigation actions, at a user interface of the first ED, based on the movement.
