Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a transport request for transporting a transport entity; identifying one or more transportation modes based on the transport request for locating a transportation provider; generating a navigation instruction based on the transport request and the transportation modes, the navigation instruction for displaying on a device and for transporting the transport entity; and updating the navigation instruction for transporting the transport entity with a further transportation provider.

Claims

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

receiving a transport request for transporting a transport entity;

identifying one or more transportation modes based on the transport request for locating a transportation provider;

generating a navigation instruction based on the transport request and the transportation modes, the navigation instruction for displaying on a device and for transporting the transport entity; and

updating the navigation instruction for transporting the transport entity with a further transportation provider.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising selecting one or more of the transportation modes.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising receiving a further transport request for transporting a further transport entity.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising generating a selection rule to generate the navigation instruction.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the navigation instruction includes generating the navigation instruction for transporting the transport entity and the transportation provider.

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

receiving a transport request for transporting a transport entity;

identifying one or more transportation modes based on the transport request for locating a transportation provider;

generating a navigation instruction based on the transport request and the transportation modes, the navigation instruction for displaying on a device and for transporting the transport entity;

updating the navigation instruction for transporting the transport entity with a further transportation provider; and

receiving a further navigation instruction based on the updating of the navigation instruction for displaying on the device.

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

receiving a further transport request for transporting a further transport entity; and

wherein;

updating the navigation instruction includes updating the navigation instruction for transporting the further transport entity.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising receiving a further transport request for transporting the transport entity.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising generating a selection rule for updating the navigation instruction to the further transportation provider.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein generating the navigation instruction includes generating the navigation instruction for transporting the transport entity or the transportation provider.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a user interface for receiving a transport request for transporting a transport entity;

a location unit, coupled to the user interface, for identifying one or more transportation modes based on the transport request for locating a transportation provider;

a route planning module, coupled to the location unit, for generating a navigation instruction based on the transport request and the transportation modes, the navigation instruction for displaying on a device and for transporting the transport entity; and

a control unit, coupled to the route planning module, for updating the navigation instruction for transporting the transport entity with a further transportation provider.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a rule enforcement module, coupled to the control unit, for selecting one or more of the transportation modes.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a communication unit, coupled to the control unit, for receiving a further transport request for transporting a further transport entity.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a rule enforcement module, coupled to the route planning module, for generating a selection rule to generate the navigation instruction.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the route planning module is for generating the navigation instruction for the transport entity and the transportation provider.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the user interface is for receiving further navigation instruction based on the updating of the navigation instruction for displaying on the device.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

a communication unit, coupled to the user interface, for receiving a further transport request for transporting a further transport entity; and

wherein;

the control unit for updating the navigation instruction for transporting the further transport entity.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a communication unit, coupled to the user interface, for receiving a further transport request for transporting the transport entity.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a rule enforcement module, coupled to the location unit, for generating a selection rule for updating the navigation instruction to the further transportation provider.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the route planning module is for generating the navigation instruction for the transport entity or the transportation provider.
