First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operation of a computing device, comprising:
- obtaining a starting point and a stopping point; and
generating one or more recommended routes from the starting point to the stopping point such that, for each recommended route of the one or more recommended routes, one or more physical waypoints are selected for the recommended route based on one or more routing factors including one or more social routing factors.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing automated social routing. In general, a starting point and a stopping point are obtained from a requesting user. A desired number of recommended routes from the starting point to the stopping point are then programmatically generated for the requesting user by dynamically selecting physical waypoints for the recommended routes based on one or more routing factors including one or more social routing factors.

24. A computing device comprising:
-
a communication interface; and a controller associated with the communication interface and adapted to; obtain a starting point and a stopping point; and generate one or more recommended routes from the starting point to the stopping point such that, for each recommended route of the one or more recommended routes, one or more physical waypoints are selected for the recommended route based on one or more routing factors including one or more social routing factors.
