Abstract
A computer-implemented method of providing personalized route information involves gathering a plurality of past location indicators over time for a wireless client device, determining a future driving objective using the plurality of previously-gathered location indicators, obtaining real-time traffic data for an area proximate to the determined driving objective, and generating a suggested route for the driving objective using the near real-time traffic data.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method of providing personalized route information, comprising:
- gathering a plurality of past location indicators over time for a wireless client device;
- determining a future travel objective using the plurality of previously-gathered location indicators;
- obtaining transportation flow data for an area proximate to the determined driving objective;
- and
- generating a suggested route for the travel objective using the transportation flow data.
A computer-implemented navigation system, comprising:
- a location generator for a moving vehicle that produces data indicative of a plurality of vehicle locations;
- a navigation point generator that analyzes the data indicative of a plurality of vehicle locations and generates one or more expected navigation points for the vehicle;
- and
- a route generator that receives information indicative of transportation flow near the one or more expected navigation points, and generates data for one or more optimized routes through the one or more expected navigation points.
A computer-implemented navigation device having memory for storing instructions that, when executed:
- obtain information showing a suggested navigation route;
- receive a command in response to display of the information showing a suggested navigation route;
- and
- transmit data relating to the command to a remote system and receive follow-up information in response to the transmission of data relating to the command.
A computer-implemented navigation system, comprising:
- a location generator for a moving vehicle that produces data indicative of a plurality of vehicle locations;
- a navigation point generator that analyzes the data indicative of a plurality of vehicle locations and generates one or more expected navigation points for the vehicle;
- and
- means for generating one or more optimized routes through the one or more expected navigation points.
