System And Method For Presenting A Computed Route
First Claim
1. A method for determining a route, the method comprising:
- receiving a starting point and a destination point;
computing a route from the starting point to the destination point, wherein the computed route comprises a route segment;
determining, based on a user'"'"'s travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment;
identifying a road that is familiar to the user, based on the user'"'"'s travel history, and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment; and
providing the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route.

Abstract
A method for presenting a route includes receiving a starting point and a destination point and computing a route that includes a route segment between the two points. The method further includes determining, based on a user'"'"'s travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment, and identifying, based on the user'"'"'s travel history, a road that is familiar to the user and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment. The computed route and the familiar road are then provided for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route, and the familiar road is represented relative to the unfamiliar segment.

11. A system for determining a route, the system comprising:
-
means for receiving a starting point and a destination point; means for computing a route from the starting point to the destination point, the route comprising a route segment; means for determining whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment based on a user'"'"'s travel history; means for identifying a road that is familiar to the user and that is within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment; and means for providing the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route.

17. A method for presenting a route, the method comprising:
-
receiving a route from a starting point to a destination point, wherein the route comprises a route segment; determining, based on a user'"'"'s travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment; determining whether there is a familiar road within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment that is familiar to the user based on the user'"'"'s travel history; presenting the route; and in response to determining there is a familiar road, presenting the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the route. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
