Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: providing travel modes of a current travel community; checking current power levels of the travel modes; and generating a navigation instruction based on the current power levels for displaying on a device.

Claims

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

providing travel modes of a current travel community;

checking current power levels of the travel modes; and

generating a navigation instruction based on the current power levels for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising monitoring the travel modes during a predetermined period.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining a relative position of one of the travel modes to another of the travel modes in the current travel community.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising sending an information message based on the current travel community.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising identifying a remote travel mode traveling in the same direction as the travel modes.

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

providing travel modes of a current travel community;

checking current power levels of the travel modes;

calculating a relative position of one of the travel modes to another of the travel modes in the current travel community; and

generating a navigation instruction based on the current power levels, the relative position, or a combination thereof for displaying on a device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising determining a front travel mode of the current travel community or a rear travel mode of the current travel community.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising identifying a new travel community to be joined with the current travel community.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising identifying a new travel community to be joined by the one of the travel modes of the current travel community.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

identifying a remote travel mode traveling in the same direction as the travel modes; and

sending an invitation message to the remote travel mode.

11. A navigation system comprising:

travel modes of a current travel community;

a control unit for checking current power levels of the travel modes; and

a location unit, coupled to the control unit, for generating a navigation instruction based on the current power levels for displaying on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for monitoring the travel modes during a predetermined period.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the location unit is for determining a relative position of one of the travel modes to another of the travel modes in the current travel community.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a user interface, coupled to the location unit, for sending an information message based on the current travel community.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for identifying a remote travel mode traveling in the same direction as the travel modes.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the control unit is for calculating a relative position of one of the travel modes to another of the travel modes in the current travel community; and

the location unit is for generating a navigation instruction based on the current power levels, the relative position, or a combination thereof.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit is for determining a front travel mode of the current travel community or a rear travel mode of the current travel community.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit is for identifying a new travel community to be joined with the current travel community.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit is for identifying a new travel community to be joined by the one of the travel modes of the current travel community.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the control unit is for identifying a remote travel mode traveling in the same direction as the travel modes; and

further comprising;

a user interface, coupled to the control unit, for sending an invitation message to the remote travel mode.
