Computer-aided event hunting
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- computing, by a processor of a computerized device, a proposed location for a driver of a vehicle, wherein the proposed location is an approximated location where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs in a geographical area, wherein said computing comprises;
defining potential locations within the geographical area, from which the proposed location where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs may be selected, wherein the locations of the location-based events differ from the potential locations;
for each potential location within the geographical area, computing a measurement indicative of an estimated elapsed time until the location based event occurring in a proximity of the potential location; and
selecting the proposed location from the potential locations based on the computed measurements; and
providing directions and instructions to the driver, wherein the directions and instructions direct the driver to the proposed location, wherein the directions and instructions are provided via a user interface, whereby the driver is directed to drive the vehicle to the proposed location.

Abstract
A method, system and product for computer-aided hunting for location-based events. The computer-aided hunting may be based on providing an automatic suggestion of a proposed waiting location. A method comprising: computing, a proposed location for a driver of a vehicle, wherein the proposed location is an approximated location where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs occurring in a geographical area, wherein said computing comprises: computing, for each potential location within the geographical area, computing a measurement indicative of an estimated elapsed time until the location based event occurring in a proximity of the potential location; and selecting the proposed location from the potential location based on the computed measurements; and providing the proposed location to the driver.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium retaining program instructions, which program instructions, when read by a processor of a computerized device, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
computing a proposed location for a driver of a vehicle, wherein the proposed location is an approximated location where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs in a geographical area, wherein said computing comprises; defining potential locations within the geographical area, from which proposed locations where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs may be selected, wherein the locations of the location-based events differ from the potential locations; for each potential location within the geographical area, computing a measurement indicative of an estimated elapsed time until the location based event occurring in a proximity of the potential location; and selecting the proposed location from the potential locations based on the computed measurements; and providing directions and instructions to the driver, wherein the directions and instructions direct the driver to the proposed location, wherein the directions and instructions are provided via a user interface, whereby the driver is directed to drive the vehicle to the proposed location.

17. A mobile device comprising:
-
a memory; a user interface used by a driver of a vehicle; a processor; wherein said processor is configured to compute a proposed location for the driver of the vehicle, wherein the proposed location is an approximated location where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs in a geographical area, wherein said computing comprises; defining potential locations within the geographical area, from which the proposed location where the vehicle can wait until a location-based event occurs may be selected, wherein the locations of the location-based events differ from the potential locations; for each potential location within the geographical area, computing a measurement indicative of an estimated elapsed time until the location based event occurring in a proximity of the potential location; and selecting the proposed location from the potential locations based on the computed measurements; and providing directions and instructions to the driver, wherein the directions and instructions direct the driver to the proposed location, wherein the direction and instructions are provided via said user interface of said mobile device, whereby the driver is directed to drive the vehicle to the proposed location. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
