SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTOMATIC DESTINATION SELECTION
First Claim
1. A method for implementation on a mobile device comprising:
- activating a navigation function on the mobile device;
determining a location of the mobile device; and
when the location of the mobile device is proximate to a location associated with a pre-defined destination, producing a navigation output using the pre-defined destination.

Abstract
When a user enters, initializes, or otherwise starts using a navigation function, such as a navigation function on a mobile phone or a stand-alone device, a destination is automatically selected for route generation and production of a navigation output (e.g., an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at the destination). The destination is selected based on current proximity to a location that has a pre-defined destination associated with it. Such pre-defined destination usually is associated with the location by the user. A time of day criteria can also be imposed, such as requiring that the time of day either by in the morning or afternoon, a work day, or a holiday, or the opposite. In one example, locations proximate a work place can be associated with home as a pre-defined destination, and vice versa. A time of day criteria can be imposed, such that even if proximate work and it is in the morning, a route and ETA to home will not be generated.

15. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a user interface module operable to receive input; and a navigation module operable to initialize responsive to input from the user interface module indicative of a command to initialize, obtain information representative of a location of the mobile device; and
to output an estimated time of arrival at a pre-defined destination associated with a location, when the location of the mobile device is proximate to that location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
