US 9,791,282 B2 · Technologies for route navigation sharing in a community cloud

Abstract

Technologies for sharing route navigation data in a community cloud include a mobile navigation device of a vehicle and a remote mobile navigation device of a remote vehicle. The mobile navigation device generates sensor data associated with a current route of the vehicle and determines whether a reference traffic event occurs within a segment of the current route of the vehicle. In response to a determination that a reference traffic event occurs, the mobile navigation devices transmits route update data to the remote mobile navigation device. Based on the route update data, the remote mobile navigation device updates a current route of the remote vehicle to avoid the reference traffic event within a corresponding segment of the current route of the remote vehicle. The mobile navigation device may also transmit the sensor data to a community compute device, which may transmit route update data to the remote mobile navigation device.

Claims25

Dependent claims

A mobile navigation device of a vehicle for sharing route navigation data, the mobile navigation device comprising:

a sensor to generate sensor data associated with a current route of the vehicle, wherein at least a segment of the current route of the vehicle corresponds to one or more segments of an existing route of a remote vehicle;
a route monitoring module to determine, based on the generated sensor data, an occurrence of a reference traffic event within the segment of the current route of the vehicle;
and
a route determination module to selectively transmit route update data directly to a remote mobile navigation device of the remote vehicle in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route, wherein the remote mobile navigation device is different from the mobile navigation device.

1 more element

One or more machine-readable media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that in response to being executed cause a mobile navigation device of a vehicle to:

generate sensor data associated with a current route of the vehicle, wherein at least a segment of the current route of the vehicle corresponds to one or more segments of an existing route of a remote vehicle;
determine, based on the generated sensor data, an occurrence of a reference traffic event within the segment of the current route of the vehicle;
and
transmit route update data directly to a remote mobile navigation device of the remote vehicle in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route, wherein the remote mobile navigation device is different from the mobile navigation device.

1 more element

A mobile navigation device of a vehicle for sharing route navigation data, the mobile navigation device comprising:

a route determination module to (i) receive route update data directly from a member compute device of a community cloud, the route update data determined by the member compute device in response to an occurrence of a reference traffic event within at least one segment of a route of a remote vehicle, wherein the at least one segment of the route of the remote vehicle corresponds to one or more segments of a current route of the vehicle and (ii) update the current route of the vehicle to avoid the reference traffic event within the one or more segments of the current route of the vehicle based on the route update data received from the member compute device of the community cloud, wherein the member compute device is different from the mobile navigation device.
