Abstract

A method of operating navigation system having location based services and temporal management comprising selecting a temporal component including a time of interest in a client, a server, or a combination thereof; filtering navigation and location based information with the temporal component by the client, the server, or a combination thereof, for forming time of interest relevant information; and communicating the time of interest relevant information between the client and the server for display by the client.

Claims

1. A method of operating navigation system having location based services and temporal management comprising:

selecting a temporal component including a time of interest in a client, a server, or a combination thereof;

filtering navigation and location based information with the temporal component by the client, the server, or a combination thereof, for forming time of interest relevant information; and

communicating the time of interest relevant information between the client and the server for display by the client.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising further filtering the time of interest relevant information for generating a further time of interest relevant information at the client, the server, or the combination thereof.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein filtering the navigation and location based information with the temporal component comprises generating the time of interest relevant information at the client from the navigation and location based information.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein communicating the time of interest relevant information comprises storing the time of interest relevant information in a local content cache of the client.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein communicating the time of interest relevant information comprises information relating to a future time, a past time, or a combination thereof.

6. A method of operating navigation system having location based services and temporal management comprising:

selecting a temporal component including a time of interest in a client, a server, or a combination thereof;

filtering navigation and location based information with the temporal component by the client, a server, or a combination thereof, for forming time of interest relevant information;

communicating the time of interest relevant information between the client and the server; and

storing the time of interest relevant information in a local content cache for display by the client.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein storing the time of interest relevant information further comprises a further filtering of the time of interest relevant information.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein selecting a temporal component comprises selecting a future time, a past time, or a combination thereof.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein filtering the navigation and location based information comprises filtering to form time of interest relevant information including filtering with a future time, a past time, or a combination thereof

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising detecting a location component of the client comprises detecting GPS data information in the server request from the client.

11. A navigation system having location based services and temporal management comprising:

a client having location based service capability, a local content cache, and a client output means;

a communication path between the client and a server;

a temporal filter coupled to the client for filtering navigation and location based information to generate time of interest relevant information for the client output means.

12. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the temporal filter is included in the client.

13. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the temporal filter is included in the server.

14. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the temporal filter comprises a temporal input means to a receiver a user controlled temporal entry.

15. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the client further comprises a GPS function means to detect and monitor a position of the client.

16. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the client further comprises an input means for receiving an information request entry.

17. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the client output means comprises a client display.

18. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the client output means comprises an audio output means.

19. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the client output means further comprises a user interface controller coupled to a client display.

20. The navigation system of claim 11 wherein the client output means further comprises a user interface controller coupled to control an audio-visual means.
