Abstract
A transportation information management method using an electronic device sets a departure location and a destination, detects a current location of the electronic device using a navigation device of the electronic device in real time, and determines whether a distance between the current location and the destination is less than a predetermined distance. If the distance is less than the predetermined distance, the electronic device generates a first notification to inform the user to prepare to disembark.
Claims13
A transportation information management method using an electronic device, the method comprising:
- (a) setting a departure location and a destination for a user;
- (b) determining a mode of transportation for the user from the departure location to the destination, wherein the mode of transportation is selected from public transportation and private transportation;
- upon the condition that the mode of transportation is the public transportation, executing block (c)-(e):
- (c) detecting a current location of the electronic device in real time using a navigation device of the electronic device;
- (d) determining whether a distance between the current location and the destination is less than a predetermined distance;
- and
- (e) generating a first notification to inform the user to prepare to disembark, if the distance is less than the predetermined distance;
- upon the condition that the mode of transportation is the private transportation executing block (f)-(j):
- (f) calculating feasible navigation routes from the departure location to the destination;
- (g) detecting the current location of the electronic device in real time using the navigation device;
- (h) determining whether a driving route and direction of the private transportation are correct according to the current location, the destination, and the feasible navigation routes;
- (i) generating a second notification to warn the user if the driving route or direction is determined incorrect;
- or
- (j) executing block (d) and (e) if the driving route and direction are correct.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a storage system;
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
- a setting module operable to set a departure location and a destination, and determine a mode of transportation for the user from the departure location to the destination, wherein the mode of transportation is selected from public transportation and private transportation;
- a determination module operable to detect a current location of the electronic device using a navigation device of the electronic device in real time, and determine whether a distance between the current location and the destination is less than a predetermined distance;
- and
- a notification module operable to generate a first notification to inform the user to prepare to disembark, if the distance is less than the predetermined distance.
A storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device, causing the electronic device to perform a transportation information management method, the method comprising:
- (a) setting a departure location and a destination for a user;
- (b) determining a mode of transportation for the user from the departure location to the destination, wherein the mode of transportation is selected from public transportation and private transportation;
- upon the condition that the mode of transportation is the public transportation, executing block (c)-(e):
- (c) detecting a current location of the electronic device in real time using a navigation device of the electronic device;
- (d) determining whether a distance between the current location and the destination is less than a predetermined distance;
- and
- (e) generating a first notification to inform the user to prepare to disembark, if the distance is less than the predetermined distance;
- upon the condition that the mode of transportation is the private transportation executing block (f)-(j):
- (f) calculating feasible navigation routes from the departure location to the destination;
- (g) detecting the current location of the electronic device in real time using the navigation device;
- (h) determining whether a driving route and direction of the private transportation are correct according to the current location, the destination, and the feasible navigation routes;
- (i) generating a second notification to warn the user if the driving route or direction is determined incorrect;
- or
- (j) executing block (d) and (e) if the driving route and direction are correct.
