Abstract
A method for presenting a route includes receiving a starting point and a destination point and computing a route that includes a route segment between the two points. The method further includes determining, based on a user's travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment, and identifying, based on the user's travel history, a road that is familiar to the user and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment. The computed route and the familiar road are then provided for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route, and the familiar road is represented relative to the unfamiliar segment.
Claims29
A method for determining a route, the method comprising:
- receiving a starting point and a destination point;
- computing a route from the starting point to the destination point, wherein the computed route comprises a route segment;
- determining, based on a user's travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment;
- identifying a road that is familiar to the user, based on the user's travel history, and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment;
- and
- providing the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route.
A system for determining a route, the system comprising:
- means for receiving a starting point and a destination point;
- means for computing a route from the starting point to the destination point, the route comprising a route segment;
- means for determining whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment based on a user's travel history;
- means for identifying a road that is familiar to the user and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment;
- and
- means for providing the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route.
A system for determining a route, the system comprising:
- a routing module configured to receive a starting point and a destination point, to compute a route from the starting point to the destination point, the route comprising a route segment, to determine whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment based on the user's travel history, to identify a road that is familiar to the user and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment, and to provide the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route.
A computer readable medium containing programming instructions for determining a route, the programming instructions for:
- receiving a starting point and a destination point;
- computing a route from the starting point to the destination point, wherein the computed route comprises a route segment;
- determining, based on the user's travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment;
- identifying a road that is familiar to the user, based on the user's travel history, and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment;
- and
- providing the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route.
A method for presenting a route, the method comprising:
- receiving a route from a starting point to a destination point, wherein the route comprises a route segment;
- determining, based on a user's travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment;
- determining whether there is a familiar road within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment that is familiar to the user based on the user's travel history;
- presenting the route;
- and
- in response to determining there is a familiar road, presenting the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the route.
A system for presenting a route, the system comprising:
- means for receiving a route from a starting point to a destination point, wherein the route comprises a route segment;
- means for determining, based on a user's travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment;
- means for determining whether there is a familiar road within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment that is familiar to the user based on the user's travel history;
- means for presenting the route;
- and
- means for, in response to determining there is a familiar road, presenting the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the route.
A system for presenting a route, the system comprising:
- a routing module configured to receive a route from a starting point to a destination point, wherein the route comprises a route segment, to determine, based on a user's travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment, and to determine whether there is a familiar road within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment that is familiar to the user based on the user's travel history;
- and
- a display configured to present the route, and, in response to determining there is a familiar road, present the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the route.
