NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ONE DEVICE IN VIEW OF ANOTHER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344833 titled 'NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ONE DEVICE IN VIEW OF ANOTHER DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The abstract describes a navigation service that notifies a first user when a second user intends to navigate to the same destination within a certain time frame. The first user can then request to coordinate navigation with the second user and receive navigation directions based on the second user's progress.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Notification system for users intending to navigate to the same destination.
- Coordination of navigation between users.
- Real-time updates based on the progress of the second user.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in ride-sharing services, group travel planning, and event coordination where multiple users need to reach the same destination.
Problems Solved: This technology helps users coordinate their travel plans more efficiently and ensures they arrive at the shared destination at the same time.
Benefits:
- Improved coordination between users.
- Enhanced efficiency in reaching shared destinations.
- Real-time updates for a smoother travel experience.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include integrating this technology into navigation apps, transportation services, and social networking platforms to enhance user experience and increase user engagement.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to location-based services, navigation technologies, and real-time communication systems to understand the evolution of similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be conducting studies on the impact of real-time coordination on user satisfaction and the effectiveness of collaborative navigation systems.
Questions about Navigation Coordination Technology: 1. How does the navigation service determine when to notify users about shared destinations? 2. What are the privacy implications of sharing location information for coordination purposes?
Original Abstract Submitted
a navigation service determines that a first user intends to navigate to a shared destination from a first location, at a first time, and that a second user intends to navigate to the shared destination from a second location, at a second time within a threshold interval of the first time. the navigation service notifies the first user using an electronic notification that the second user intends to navigate to the shared destination, receives from the first user an electronic request to coordinate navigation to the shared destination with the second user, and in response to receiving the electronic request, provides navigation directions to the shared destination to a device associated with the first user in view of a progress of the second user toward the shared destination.
