Simplified Explanation

  • The system uses a server to identify off-beat locations for vehicles to visit.
  • Each off-beat location is assigned a popularity score, indicating how crowded it is.
  • The server filters these off-beat locations based on a minimum popularity score threshold.
  • The server then recommends the off-beat locations that meet the threshold to the vehicle.
  • The goal is to provide recommendations for destinations that are less crowded and more unique.


Original Abstract Submitted

Recommendation of off-beat locations as destinations for vehicles is provided. Off-beat locations for a location of a vehicle are identified by a server. Each off-beat location is associated with a corresponding popularity score, the popularity score indicating a relative level of occupancy of the off-beat location. The off-beat locations are filtered by the server based on at least one threshold level of popularity score. The off-beat locations are recommended from the server to the vehicle as those that meet the at least one threshold level of popularity score.
