Predictive annotation of relevant road information based on vehicle location and identity

An apparatus for dynamic navigation, the apparatus comprising:

• a communication transceiver;
• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the instructions to:
• receive, at the communication transceiver from a computing device that is coupled to a vehicle, a location,
• identify, based on the location on a road and a bandwidth allocation, an area that includes the location and the road is categorized into a class of a ranked set of classes,
• identify one or more road segments that each fall at least partially within the area,
• identify road segment attribute information about the one or more road segments,
• reduce a bandwidth amount used to communicate with a communication interface of the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, by filtering filter data to:
• filter out irrelevant data to avoid sending the irrelevant data to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, and
• identify, for sending to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, a limited set of visual mapping data associated with the one or more road segments to send to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle using a filter associated with the road segment attribute information, wherein the limited set of visual mapping data includes roads categorized no lower than the class of the road among the ranked set of classes, and
• transmit, according to the bandwidth allocation and to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, the limited set of visual mapping data associated with the one or more road segments, the limited set of visual mapping data transmitted via the communication transceiver based on the filter associated with the road segment attribute information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for dynamic navigation, the method comprising:

• receiving a location on a road from a computing device that is coupled to a vehicle, wherein the road is categorized into a class of a ranked set of classes;
• identifying, based on the location and a bandwidth allocation, an area that includes the location;
• identifying one or more road segments that each fall at least partially within the area;
• receiving road segment attribute information about the one or more road segments;
• reducing a bandwidth amount used to communicate with a communication interface of the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, by filtering data to:
• filter out irrelevant data to avoid sending the irrelevant data to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, and
• identify, for sending to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle, a limited set of visual mapping data associated with the one or more road segments to send to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle using a filter associated with the road segment attribute information, wherein the limited set of visual mapping data includes roads categorized no lower than the class of the road among the ranked set of classes;
• and
• sending, using a communication transmitter and according to the bandwidth allocation, the limited set of visual mapping data associated with the one or more road segments based on the filter associated with the road segment attribute information to the computing device that is coupled to the vehicle.
