Image based routing and confirmation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a routing request for a point of interest;
sending a message to a user device with an option to confirm or reject a destination based on the routing request;
selecting, when the destination is rejected, a set of point of interest images from one or more sources, the set of point of interest images collected at geographic locations of respective points of interest;
filtering the set of point of interest images based on one or more characteristics;
identifying, in response to the filtering, when multiple images are associated with a same point of interest;
selecting a representative image from the multiple images associated with the same point of interest;
sending, to the user device, at least the representative image from the set of point of interest images from the one or more sources;
receiving a selection of a selected image; and
calculating a route to another destination according to the selected image.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for image based routing and confirmation. A routing request for a point of interest is received. A point of interest for the routing request may be identified from a geographic database. A message is sent to a user device, and the message includes an option to confirm or reject a destination based on the routing request that corresponds to the point of interest. When the destination is rejected, a set of point of interest images from one or more sources is selected. The set of point of interest images from the one or more sources may be sent to the user device.

-
receiving a routing request for a point of interest; sending a message to a user device with an option to confirm or reject a destination based on the routing request; selecting, when the destination is rejected, a set of point of interest images from one or more sources, the set of point of interest images collected at geographic locations of respective points of interest; filtering the set of point of interest images based on one or more characteristics; identifying, in response to the filtering, when multiple images are associated with a same point of interest; selecting a representative image from the multiple images associated with the same point of interest; sending, to the user device, at least the representative image from the set of point of interest images from the one or more sources; receiving a selection of a selected image; and calculating a route to another destination according to the selected image. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform;process a request for a point of interest from a device; send a message to a device with a prompt to approve or reject a destination that corresponds to the point of interest; select, when the destination is rejected, a set of point of interest images; filter the set of point of interest images based on one or more characteristics; identify when multiple images of the filtered set of point of interest images are associated with a same point of interest; select a representative image from the multiple images associated with the same point of interest; send, to the device, at least the representative image of the set of point of interest images; receive a selection of a selected image from the set of point of interest images; and calculate a route according to the selected image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed are operable to:
-
receive a destination request to a point of interest; present a route or a portion thereof to the point of interest; filter a set of images based on one or more characteristics; provide an option via a user device to display a representative image when multiples images of the filtered set of images are associated with a same point of interest, based on a location corresponding to the requested point of interest or based on a current location of the user device when the current location is within a predefined distance from the location corresponding to the requested point of interest, wherein images within the set of images are selectable; and calculate a route or portion thereof to a location corresponding to a selected image within the set of images. - View Dependent Claims (16)
