Abstract
A method of demonstrating navigation in a vehicle includes receiving a navigation demonstration mode request and global positioning information at a call center. A destination prompt is transmitted from the call center to the vehicle. A point-of-interest category is received at a call center. A point-of-interest destination is determined based on the point-of-interest category. A route is determined based on the received global positioning information and the point-of-interest destination. The route is transmitted from the call center to the vehicle.
Claims14
A method of demonstrating navigation in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a navigation demonstration mode request and global positioning information from a vehicle telematics device at a call center;
- transmitting a destination prompt from the call center to the vehicle telematics device;
- receiving a point-of-interest category at the call center from the vehicle telematics device;
- determining a plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations based on the point- of-interest category;
- selecting without user intervention one of the plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations as a demonstration destination based on a route complexity associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest, such that the route complexity associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest is higher than the respective route complexities associated with the remainder of the plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations;
- and
- transmitting the route associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest from the call center to the vehicle telematics device.
A computer usable medium including a program for demonstrating navigation in a vehicle, the computer usable medium comprising:
- computer readable program code executable by the computer for receiving a navigation demonstration mode request and global positioning information at a call center from a telematics unit of the vehicle;
- computer readable program code executable by the computer for transmitting a destination prompt from the call center to the telematics unit of the vehicle;
- computer readable program code executable by the computer for receiving a point-of-interest category at the call center from the telematics unit of the vehicle;
- computer readable program code executable by the computer for determining a plurality of candidate point-of-interest destination based on the point-of-interest category;
- computer readable program code executable by the computer for selecting without user intervention one of the plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations as a demonstration destination based on a route complexity associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest, such that the route complexity associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest is higher than the respective route complexities associated with the remainder of the plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations;
- and
- computer readable program code executable by the computer for transmitting the route associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest from the call center to the telematics unit of vehicle.
A system for demonstrating navigation in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- means for receiving a navigation demonstration mode request and global positioning information at a call center;
- means for transmitting a destination prompt from the call center to the vehicle;
- means for receiving a point-of-interest category at the call center;
- means for determining a plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations based on the point-of-interest category;
- means for selecting without user intervention one of the plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations as a demonstration destination based on a route complexity associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest, such that the route complexity associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest is higher than the respective route complexities associated with the remainder of the plurality of candidate point-of-interest destinations;
- and means for transmitting the route associated with the selected candidate point-of-interest from the call center to the vehicle.
