Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a designated location for estimating travel information; generating a travel information A for traveling from an designated location to a destination A; generating a travel information B for traveling from the designated location to a destination B; and presenting the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently based on a display priority for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

estimating multiple designated locations and multiple target destinations for traveling at a specific timeframe between one of the designated locations and one of the target destinations based on a travel history with a control unit;

generating travel information A for traveling from a first one of the designated locations to a first one of the target destinations representing a destination A;

generating travel information B for traveling from a second one of the designated locations to a second one of the target destinations representing a destination B;

determining a display priority, representing a shortest travel time having a higher priority, based on comparing the travel information A and the travel information B for prioritizing a presentation of the travel information A over the travel information B or vice versa; and

presenting each of the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently in order wherein the travel information including a travel time with a higher instance of the display priority is displayed above the travel information including the travel time with a lower instance of the display priority on a display interface of a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising changing the presentation for customizing travel information displayed on the device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting unrequested travel information to an unregistered destination concurrently with the travel information A and the travel information B for displaying on the device.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forecasting each of the travel information A and the travel information B based on extrapolation of the travel history.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein presenting each of the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting each of the travel information A and the travel information B based on a category of interest for displaying concurrently on the device for a destination sharing the category of interest.

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

estimating multiple designated locations and multiple target destinations for traveling at a specific timeframe between one of the designated locations and one of the target destinations based on a travel history with a control unit;

generating travel information A for traveling from a first one of the designated locations to a first one of the target destinations representing a destination A;

generating travel information B for traveling from a second one of the designated locations to a second one of the target destinations representing a destination B;

determining a display priority, representing a shortest travel time having a higher priority, based on comparing the travel information A and the travel information B to prioritize a presentation of the travel information A over the travel information B or vice versa;

presenting each of the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently in order wherein the travel information including a travel time with a higher instance of the display priority is displayed above the travel information including the travel time with a lower instance of the display priority on a display interface of a device; and

generating a travel route to the destination A, the destination B, or a combination thereof for displaying on the device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

generating the travel information A includes calculating a travel time A for traveling from the first one of the designated locations to the first one of the target destinations representing the destination A;

generating the travel information B includes calculating a travel time B for traveling from the second one of the designated locations to the second one of the target destinations representing the destination B; and

presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting the travel time A and the travel time B concurrently for displaying on the device.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

generating the travel information A includes calculating an estimated arrival time A for traveling from the first one of the designated locations to the first one of the target destinations representing the destination A;

generating the travel information B includes calculating an estimated arrival time B for traveling from the second one of the designated locations to the second one of the target destinations representing the destination B; and

presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting the estimated arrival time A and the estimated arrival time B concurrently for displaying on the device.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

determining each of the first and second designated locations includes determining a current location; and

further comprising;

updating the travel information A and the travel information B based on changing each of the first and second designated locations representing the current location changed for presenting concurrently on the device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

estimating the multiple designated locations includes determining the multiple designated locations.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit configured to;

estimate multiple designated locations and multiple target destinations for traveling at a specific timeframe between one of the designated locations and one of the target destinations based on a travel history,

generate travel information A for traveling from a first one of the designated locations to a first one of the target destinations representing a destination A,

generate travel information B for traveling from a second one of the designated locations to a second one of the target destinations representing a destination B,

determine a display priority, representing a shortest travel time having a higher priority, based on comparing the travel information A and the travel information B to prioritize a presentation of the travel information A over the travel information B or vice versa, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to present each of the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently in order wherein the travel information including a travel time with a higher instance of the display priority is displayed above the travel information including the travel time with a lower instance of the display priority on a display interface of a device.

12. The navigation system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is further configured to change the presentation for customizing travel information displayed on the device.

13. The navigation system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is further configured to present unrequested travel information to an unregistered destination concurrently with the travel information A and the travel information B for displaying on the device.

14. The navigation system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is further configured to forecast travel information based on extrapolation of the travel history.

15. The navigation system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is further configured to present travel information based on a category of interest for displaying concurrently on the device for a destination sharing the category of interest.
