Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive vehicle coordinates. The processor is also configured to compare the vehicle coordinates to geo-fence coordinate sets of a plurality of geo-fences surrounding point of interest (POI), wherein at least a portion of each geo-fence is within some predetermined distance from the vehicle coordinates. The processor is further configured to receive information relating to the POI if the vehicle coordinates fall within the geo-fence coordinates and instruct presentation of the received information to vehicle occupants.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive vehicle coordinates;
- compare the vehicle coordinates to geo-fence coordinate sets of a plurality of geo-fences surrounding point of interest (POI), wherein at least a portion of each geo-fence is within some predetermined distance from the vehicle coordinates;
- receive information relating to the POI if the vehicle coordinates fall within the geo-fence coordinates;
- and
- instruct presentation of the received information to vehicle occupants.
A computer-implemented method:
- receiving vehicle coordinates;
- comparing the vehicle coordinates, via a computing system, to geo-fence coordinate sets of a plurality of geo-fences surrounding point of interest (POI), wherein at least a portion of each geo-fence is within some predetermined distance from the vehicle coordinates;
- receiving information relating to the POI if the vehicle coordinates fall within the geo-fence coordinates;
- and
- instructing presentation of the received information to vehicle occupants.
A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving vehicle coordinates;
- comparing the vehicle coordinates, via a computing system, to geo-fence coordinate sets of a plurality of geo-fences surrounding point of interest (POI), wherein at least a portion of each geo-fence is within some predetermined distance from the vehicle coordinates;
- receiving information relating to the POI if the vehicle coordinates fall within the geo-fence coordinates;
- and
- instructing presentation of the received information to vehicle occupants.
