## Abstract

System and methods for selectively collecting information from a host vehicle. The system may perform operations including causing collection of navigational information associated with an environment traversed by the host vehicle; storing the collected navigational information; determining, based on an output of at least one navigational sensor, a location of the host vehicle; transmitting the determined location of the host vehicle to a server; receiving, from the server and in response to the transmitted determined location, a request for transmission of a selected subset of the navigational information collected by the host vehicle; and transmitting the selected subset of the navigational information to the server.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for selectively collecting information from a host vehicle, the system comprising:
at least one processing device programmed to:
cause collection of navigational information associated with an environment traversed by the host vehicle;
store the collected navigational information;
determine, based on an output of at least one navigational sensor, a location of the host vehicle;
transmit the determined location of the host vehicle to a server;
receive, from the server and in response to the transmitted determined location, a request for transmission of a selected subset of the navigational information collected by the host vehicle; and
transmit the selected subset of the navigational information to the server.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one navigational sensor comprises at least one of a GPS device, a speed sensor, an accelerometer, or a camera.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the request comprises at least one identifier of a geographical region.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the request comprises at least one identifier of a road.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the request comprises a navigational information collection rate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the navigational information collection rate comprises a rate of image collection for at least one camera of the host vehicle.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the navigational information is transmitted to the server via a transceiver included in the host vehicle.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the navigational information comprises location information associated with one or more landmarks.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the navigational information comprises location information associated with one or more road features.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, the location of the host vehicle is determined at predetermined intervals of time.

### Claim 11

A computer-implemented method for selectively collecting information from a host vehicle, the method comprising:
causing collection of navigational information associated with an environment traversed by the host vehicle;
storing the collected navigational information;
determining, based on an output of at least one navigational sensor, a location of the host vehicle;
transmitting the determined location of the host vehicle to a server;
receiving, from the server and in response to the transmitted determined location, a request for transmission of a selected subset of the navigational information collected by the host vehicle; and
transmitting the selected subset of the navigational information to the server.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one navigational sensor comprises at least one of a GPS device, a speed sensor, an accelerometer, or a camera.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the request comprises at least one identifier of a geographical region.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the request comprises at least one identifier of a road.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the request comprises a navigational information collection rate.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the navigational information collection rate comprises a rate of image collection for at least one camera of the host vehicle.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the navigational information is transmitted to the server via a transceiver included in the host vehicle.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the navigational information comprises location information associated with one or more landmarks.

### Claim 19 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the navigational information comprises location information associated with one or more road features.

### Claim 20 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, the location of the host vehicle is determined at predetermined intervals of time.

### Claim at position 21

21-50. (canceled)
