Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an individualized map highlighting undiscovered areas of a locale. In particular, systems and methods are provided for providing a map that visually differentiates areas a user has visited from areas a user has yet to explore. In some implementations, generalized maps are displayed with highlighted and lowlighted areas representing unexplored and explored areas of the map. A generalized map can show popular tourist destinations or other features of each area. In some examples, specific map details of a particular area are revealed when a user selects the particular map area. In some examples, unexplored areas are revealed when a user elects to visit the unexplored area.
Claims20
A method for vehicle user maps comprising:
- retrieving a map of a selected region based on a user location of a first user, wherein the selected region is different from a first user's default region;
- dividing the map into a plurality of map sections;
- identifying a first subset of the plurality of map sections, based in part on user ride history, wherein the first subset includes map sections the first user has visited;
- identifying a second subset of the plurality of map sections, based in part on user ride history, wherein the second subset includes map sections the user has not visited;
- shading the second subset of map sections with a second shade;
- determining, based on destinations of a plurality ride requests from visitors to the selected region over a selected period of time, a set of recommended destinations in the selected region;
- identifying, in the set of recommended destinations, a set of proposed destinations located in the second subset of map sections;
- identifying a third subset of the plurality of map sections including the set of proposed destinations;
- highlighting the third subset of map sections with a third shade;
- and
- displaying the set of proposed destinations on the map in a ridehail application for the first user.

A system for vehicle user maps, comprising:
- a central computer in communication with each of a plurality of fleet vehicles, the central computer configured to:
- retrieve a map of a selected region based on a user location of a first user;
- divide the map into a plurality of map sections;
- identify a first subset of the plurality of map sections, based in part on user ride history, wherein the first subset includes map sections the first user has visited;
- identify a second subset of the plurality of map sections, based in part on user ride history, wherein the second subset includes map sections the user has not visited;
- determine, based on destinations of a plurality ride requests from visitors to the selected region over a selected period of time, a set of recommended destinations in the selected region;
- identify, in the set of recommended destinations, a set of proposed destinations located in the second subset of map sections;
- identify a third subset of the plurality of map sections including the set of proposed destinations;
- a ridehail application including a user interface displaying the map of the selected region, configured to:
- shade the first subset of the map sections with a first shade;
- shade the second subset of map sections with a second shade;
- and
- shade the third subset of map sections with a third shade.

A system for vehicle user maps, comprising:
- an online portal configured to receive a ride request from a user including a request for a set of proposed destinations in a selected region, wherein the selected region is different from a default region of the user;
- and
- a central computer configured to:
- retrieve a map of the selected region;
- divide the map into a plurality of map sections;
- identify a first subset of the plurality of map sections, based in part on user ride history, wherein the first subset includes map sections the first user has visited;
- identify a second subset of the plurality of map sections, based in part on user ride history, wherein the second subset includes map sections the user has not visited;
- determine a set of recommended destinations in the selected region, based on user ride history of the user, wherein the user ride history includes a list of ride destinations of the user in a second region, and wherein the second region is different from the default region of the user;
- identify, in the set of recommended destinations, a set of proposed destinations located in the second subset of map sections;
- identify a third subset of the plurality of map sections including the set of proposed destinations;
- wherein the online portal is configured to display the map of the selected region, including the plurality of map sections, and wherein the online portal is configured to:
- shade the first subset of the map sections with a first shade;
- shade the second subset of map sections with a second shade;
- and
- shade the third subset of map sections with a third shade.
