Abstract
A method of optimizing traffic content includes providing a traffic flow algorithm (220) coupled to receive a set of solicited navigation route data (210) and a set of solicited traffic data (212) between a starting location (305, 405) and a destination location (310, 410), where traffic flow algorithm (220) is designed to compute a set of optimized traffic content (230) between a starting location (305, 405) and a destination location (310, 410). A set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data (215) is received and incorporated into traffic flow algorithm (220).
Claims22
A method of optimizing traffic content in a distributed communications system, the method comprising:
- providing a traffic flow algorithm coupled to receive a set of solicited navigation route data and a set of solicited traffic data between a starting location and a destination location, wherein the traffic flow algorithm is designed to compute a set of optimized traffic content between the starting location and the destination location;
- receiving a set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data between the starting location and the destination location;
- incorporating the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data into the traffic flow algorithm;
- and
- calculating the set of optimized traffic content between the starting location and the destination location, utilizing at least the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data.
A method of acquiring traffic content in a distributed communications system, the method comprising:
- providing a traffic flow algorithm coupled to receive a set of solicited navigation route data and a set of solicited traffic data between a starting location and a destination location, wherein the traffic flow algorithm is designed to compute a set of optimized traffic content between the starting location and the destination location;
- receiving a set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data between the starting location and the destination location;
- and
- incorporating the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data into the traffic flow algorithm.
A computer-readable medium containing computer instructions for instructing a processor to perform a method of acquiring traffic content in a distributed communications system, the instructions comprising:
- providing a traffic flow algorithm coupled to receive a set of solicited navigation route data and a set of solicited traffic data between a starting location and a destination location, wherein the traffic flow algorithm is designed to compute a set of optimized traffic content between the starting location and the destination location;
- receiving a set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data between the starting location and the destination location;
- and
- incorporating the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data into the traffic flow algorithm.
