Abstract
Systems and methods for route mapping with familiar routes include striking a balance between optimal routes from standard navigation systems minimizing time and distance and a mapping component that suggests familiar routes based on a user's route history. New routes including one or more familiar routes may be suggested to the user when they are not too far out of the way or take too long compared to the optimal routes and when they may be preferable or more comfortable.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, wherein, when a computer arrangement executes the instructions, the computer arrangement is configured to perform procedures comprising:
- generating an optimal route from an origination to a destination;
- selecting a familiar route from route history data based on the optimal route, the familiar route having a familiar origination and a familiar destination;
- generating an origination route from the familiar origination to the origination;
- generating a destination route from the familiar destination to the destination;
- generating a new route from the origination to the destination, the new route comprising the origination route, the familiar route, and the destination route;
- generating comparison information between the new route and the optimal route, the comparison information including:
- a comparison of an estimated travel time for the optimal route and an estimated travel time for the new route, and
- a notification if the estimated travel time for the new route exceeds the estimated travel time for the optimal route by a predetermined threshold;
- and
- communicating for display on a user device associated with a user, the optimal route, the new route, and the comparison information.
A route mapping system, comprising:
- a route mapping device comprising a processor in data communication with a memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- generate an optimal route from an origination to a destination,
- select a familiar route from route history data based on the optimal route, the familiar route having a familiar origination and a familiar destination,
- generate an origination route from the familiar origination to the origination,
- generate a destination route from the familiar destination to the destination,
- generate a new route from the origination to the destination, the new route comprising the origination route, the familiar route, and the destination route,
- generate comparison information between the new route and the optimal route, the comparison information including:
- a comparison of an estimated travel time for the optimal route and an estimated travel time for the new route, and
- a notification if the estimated travel time for the new route exceeds the estimated travel time for the optimal route by a predetermined threshold, and
- communicate, for display on a user device associated with a user, the optimal route, the new route, and the comparison information.
A route mapping method, comprising:
- generating an optimal route from an origination to a destination;
- selecting a familiar route from route history data based on the optimal route, the familiar route having a familiar origination and a familiar destination;
- generating an origination route from the familiar origination to the origination;
- generating a destination route from the familiar destination to the destination;
- generating a new route from the origination to the destination, the new route comprising the origination route, the familiar route, and the destination route;
- generating comparison information between the new route and the optimal route, the comparison information including:
- a comparison of an estimated travel time for the optimal route and an estimated travel time for the new route, and
- a notification if the estimated travel time for the new route exceeds the estimated travel time for the optimal route by a predetermined threshold;
- and
- communicating for display on a user device associated with the user, the optimal route, the new route, and the comparison information.
