Abstract

Techniques for providing personalized presentations based on navigation information. A personalized presentation application determines one or more points of interest associated with a navigation. The personalized presentation application generates one or more presentations personal to a user of the navigation based, at least in part, on the points of interest, and the messages supplement navigation guidance information associated with the navigation. The personalized presentation application causes, at least in part, rendering of the one or more presentations.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

determining one or more points of interest associated with a navigation;

generating one or more presentations personal to a user of the navigation based, at least in part, on the points of interest, wherein the one or more presentations supplement navigation guidance information associated with the navigation; and

causing, at least in part, rendering of the one or more presentations.

2. A method of claim 1, further comprising:

retrieving one or more predetermined phrases associated with the one or more points of interest; and

retrieving one or more names corresponding to the one or more points of interest,

wherein the generating of the one or more presentations is based, at least in part, on the predetermined phrases, the names, or a combination thereof.

3. A method of claim 1, further comprising:

mapping one or more routes of the navigation to a database;

retrieving the points of interest from the database based, at least in part, on the routes; and

ranking the points of interest based, at least in part, on a user navigation history, one or more user activities that have occurred at the points of interest, user preferences, or a combination thereof.

4. A method of claim 3, further comprising:

selecting a predetermined number of the points of interest based, at least in part, on the ranking, wherein the generating of the one or more presentations comprises generating respective one or more presentations for corresponding selected points of interest; and

causing, at least in part, rendering of the respective one or more presentations when approaching the corresponding selected points of interest.

5. A method of claim 4, further comprising:

retrieving one or more potential user activities associated with the corresponding selected points of interest;

ranking the potential user activities based, at least in part, on user activities that have occurred at the corresponding selected points of interest, user preferences, user calendars, recent text messages, recent instant messages, or a combination thereof; and

selecting a predetermined number of the potential user activities based, at least in part, on the ranking of the potential user activities,

wherein the generating of the one or more presentations comprises generating respective one or more presentations for corresponding selected potential user activities.

6. A method of claim 3, wherein the user navigation history includes, at least in part, data on a set of points of interests visited or approached by the user.

7. A method of claim 6, further comprising:

retrieving sensor data associated with one or more user activities conducted at one or more points of interest in the set,

wherein the user activities that have occurred at the points of interest includes, at least in part, the sensor data.

8. A method of claim 1, wherein the one or more presentations relate to a characteristic of the points of the interest, one or more potential activities conducted at the points of interest, the user, or a combination thereof.

9. A method of claim 1, wherein the one or more presentations comprise one or more messages, items, media objects, or a combination thereof.

10. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,

the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine one or more points of interest associated with a navigation;

generate one or more presentations personal to a user of the navigation based, at least in part, on the points of interest, wherein the one or more presentations supplement navigation guidance information associated with the navigation; and

cause, at least in part, rendering of the one or more presentations.

11. An apparatus of claim 10, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

retrieve one or more predetermined phrases associated with the one or more points of interest; and

retrieve one or more names corresponding to the one or more points of interest, wherein the one or more presentations are generated based, at least in part, on the predetermined phrases, the names, or a combination thereof.

12. An apparatus of claim 10, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

map one or more routes of the navigation to a database;

retrieve the points of interest from the database based, at least in part, on the routes; and

rank the points of interest based, at least in part, on a user navigation history, one or more user activities that have occurred at the points of interest, user preferences, or a combination thereof.

13. An apparatus of claim 12, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

select a predetermined number of the points of interest based, at least in part, on the ranking, wherein the generating of the one or more presentations comprises generating respective one or more presentations for corresponding selected points of interest; and

cause, at least in part, rendering of the respective one or more presentations when approaching the corresponding selected points of interest during the navigation.

14. An apparatus of claim 13, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

retrieve one or more potential user activities associated with the corresponding selected points of interest;

rank the potential user activities based, at least in part, on user activities that have occurred at the corresponding selected points of interest, user preferences, user calendars, recent text messages, recent instant messages, or a combination thereof; and

select a predetermined number of the potential user activities based, at least in part, on the ranking of the potential user activities,

wherein the one or more presentations are generated for corresponding selected potential user activities.

15. An apparatus of claim 12, wherein the user navigation history includes, at least in part, data on a set of points of interests visited or approached by the user.

16. An apparatus of claim 15, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

retrieve sensor data associated with one or more user activities conducted at one or more points of interest in the set,

wherein the user activities that have occurred at the points of interest includes, at least in part, the sensor data.

17. An apparatus of claim 10, wherein the one or more presentations relate to a characteristic of the points of the interest, one or more potential activities conducted at the points of interest, the user, or a combination thereof.

18. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:

determining one or more points of interest associated with a navigation;

generating one or more presentations personal to a user of the navigation based, at least in part, on the points of interest, wherein the one or more presentations supplement navigation guidance information associated with the navigation; and

causing, at least in part, rendering of the one or more presentations.

19. A computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the apparatus is caused to further perform:

retrieving one or more predetermined phrases associated with the one or more points of interest; and

retrieving one or more names corresponding to the one or more points of interest,

wherein the one or more presentations are generated based, at least in part, on the predetermined phrases, the names, or a combination thereof.

20. A computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the apparatus is caused to further perform:

mapping one or more routes of the navigation to a database;

retrieving the points of interest from the database based, at least in part, on the routes; and

ranking the points of interest based, at least in part, on a user navigation history, one or more user activities that have occurred at the points of interest, user preferences, or a combination thereof.
