System and Method for Providing Georeferenced Predictive Information to Motor Vehicles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing georeferenced predictive information to motor vehicles, the method comprising the acts of:
- receiving, by one or more backend servers from a vehicle over a wireless network, vehicle route information corresponding to a vehicle route;
reconstructing the vehicle route on a server-side digital map, by the one or more backend servers, using the vehicle route information;
identifying, by the one or more backend servers, predictive information that is relevant to the vehicle route, wherein the predictive information is georeferenced to a particular location or area;
converting, by the one or more backend servers, the identified predictive information into a format corresponding to the vehicle; and
transmitting, by one or more backend servers over the wireless network, the identified predictive information to the vehicle, wherein the transmitted predictive information is configured to be used by the vehicle in constructing the vehicle route on a vehicle-side digital map.
