AD-HOC NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18016732 titled 'AD-HOC NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
The abstract describes a method for providing navigation information to a user for their current trip without the user initiating a navigation session.
- The method involves receiving a request for navigation information before the user starts a navigation session.
- It determines the destination of the current trip.
- Generates navigation directions based on the user's current trajectory to reach the destination.
- Provides the user with navigation information based on the generated directions.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in navigation apps to offer real-time guidance to users without them having to manually start a navigation session. - It could be integrated into transportation services to improve efficiency and provide better route suggestions to users.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for users to manually input their destination and start a navigation session, saving time and effort. - Provides users with accurate and up-to-date navigation information based on their current location and trajectory.
Benefits: - Enhances user experience by offering seamless navigation guidance without user intervention. - Improves efficiency in reaching destinations by providing optimized routes based on real-time data.
Commercial Applications: - This technology could be valuable for companies offering navigation services, transportation services, and location-based apps. - It can enhance the competitiveness of navigation apps by providing a more user-friendly and efficient experience.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience compared to traditional navigation methods? 2. What potential challenges could arise in implementing this technology on a large scale?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in real-time navigation technologies and user interface improvements to enhance the effectiveness of this method.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computing device may implement a method for providing navigation information regarding a current trip by a user without the user having previously initiated a navigation session. The method may include receiving a request for navigation information regarding a current trip by a user prior to a user initiating a navigation session, and determining a destination for the current trip. The method may also include generating one or more sets of navigation directions for traveling from a current location of the user to the destination along one or more routes based on a current trajectory of the user, and providing a response to the request for navigation information based on the generated one or more sets of navigation directions.
