TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING AN EXPERIENCE-FOCUSED NAVIGATION SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17638013 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING AN EXPERIENCE-FOCUSED NAVIGATION SESSION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for providing an experience-focused navigation session to a user of a computing device based on user data and current location. The method involves determining a semantic mapping based on user preferences and location history, and suggesting an ordered list of points of interest for the user's navigation session.

  • User data and current location are obtained from the user's computing device.
  • A semantic mapping is determined based on user preferences and location history.
  • A suggested experience-focused navigation session is provided to the user, including a list of points of interest.
  • The suggested navigation session is automatically added to the user's device as an appointment.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as tourism, travel planning, event management, and personalized navigation services.

Problems Solved

1. Personalized navigation experience for users based on their preferences and location history. 2. Efficient way to suggest points of interest for users during navigation sessions.

Benefits

1. Enhanced user experience with personalized navigation suggestions. 2. Time-saving for users in planning their navigation routes. 3. Increased user engagement with the computing device.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing travel apps for personalized navigation experiences.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of location-based services in mobile applications to suggest nearby points of interest to users.

What are the potential privacy concerns related to collecting user data for this technology?

Collecting user data for personalized navigation sessions could raise privacy concerns regarding the storage and usage of sensitive information such as location history and user preferences.

How can this technology be further improved to enhance user engagement?

This technology can be improved by incorporating real-time data updates on points of interest, integrating social media recommendations, and providing interactive features for users to customize their navigation sessions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing device may implement a method for providing an experience-focused navigation session. The method includes obtaining user data corresponding to a user of the computing device and a current location of the user. The method further includes determining a semantic mapping corresponding to the user based on one or more user preferences and a location history included in the user data, and determining a suggested experience-focused navigation session for the user based on the semantic mapping and the current location of the user. The suggested experience-focused navigation session includes an ordered list of one or more suggested points of interest. The method further includes automatically providing the suggested experience-focused navigation session to the user as an appointment on the computing device.
