Abstract
Various embodiments relate to computing and displaying a safe mobility area for a user that allows the user to arrive at a final destination by a certain time after visiting one or more points of interest that are within the safe mobility area.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor:
- (a) an electronic map;
- (b) an identification of a plurality of points of interest on the map;
- (c) an identification of a final destination;
- (d) an identification of an acceptable arrival time at the final destination;
- (e) information related to a transportation network;
- (f) a current time;
- and (g) a current user location;
- determining, by the processor, a safe mobility area comprising a geographic area on the map that a user should not leave in order to permit the user to reach the final destination by the acceptable arrival time;
- determining, by the processor, which of the plurality of points of interest on the map can be visited by the user, and for how long, prior to the user reaching the final destination, in order to permit the user to reach the final destination by the acceptable arrival time;
- providing by the processor, on a display, the determined safe mobility area;
- and
- providing by the processor, on the display, which of the plurality of points of interest on the map can be visited by the user, and for how long.

A computer readable storage medium, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer, the program of instructions, when executed, performing the following steps:
- obtaining:
- (a) an electronic map;
- (b) an identification of a plurality of points of interest on the map;
- (c) an identification of a final destination;
- (d) an identification of an acceptable arrival time at the final destination;
- (e) information related to a transportation network;
- (f) a current time;
- and (g) a current user location;
- determining a safe mobility area comprising a geographic area on the map that a user should not leave in order to permit the user to reach the final destination by the acceptable arrival time;
- determining which of the plurality of points of interest on the map can be visited by the user, and for how long, prior to the user reaching the final destination, in order to permit the user to reach the final destination by the acceptable arrival time;
- providing, on a display, the determined safe mobility area;
- and
- providing, on the display, which of the plurality of points of interest on the map can be visited by the user, and for how long.
