Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a notification associated with a remote location; detecting a user location for locating a device; detecting the user location at the remote location based on the notification; receiving an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location; and generating an alert based on the operation for displaying on the device.

Claims

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

receiving a notification associated with a remote location;

detecting a user location for locating a device;

detecting the user location at the remote location based on the notification;

receiving an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location; and

generating an alert based on the operation for displaying on the device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising verifying the user location before the alert is sent.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising verifying the user location with a historical event.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising stopping the operation if the alert is needed.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

recording an operation time for the operation;

recording a departure time when the user location is not at the remote location; and

wherein generating the alert includes;

detecting the operation time to be after the departure time.

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

receiving a notification associated with a remote location;

detecting a user location for locating a device;

detecting the user location at the remote location based on the notification;

receiving an acknowledgement after the notification is presented;

receiving an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location; and

generating an alert based on the acknowledgement and the operation for displaying on the device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising recording a departure time when the user location is at a predetermined distance from the remote location.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising verifying a permissible operation after the operation is performed.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising detecting an authorized agent location at the remote location based on the notification.

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

recording an operation time for the operation;

recording a departure time when the user location is not at the remote location; and

wherein generating the alert includes;

comparing a processing duration for the operation since the departure time; and

detecting the operation time to be after the processing duration.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a first communication unit for receiving a notification associated with a remote location;

a location unit, coupled to the first communication unit, for detecting a user location for locating a device;

a first storage unit, coupled to the location unit, for detecting the user location at the remote location based on the notification, the user location stored and accessed in the first storage unit;

a user interface, coupled to the first storage unit, for receiving an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location; and

a first control unit, coupled to the user interface, for generating an alert based on the operation for displaying on the device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the first control unit is for verifying the user location before the alert is sent.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the first control unit is for verifying the user location with a historical event.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the first control unit is for stopping the operation if the alert is needed.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a second storage unit, coupled to the first communication unit, for recording an operation time for the operation;

a second communication unit, coupled to the second storage unit, for recording a departure time when the user location is not at the remote location; and

a second control unit, coupled to the second communication unit, for detecting the operation time to be after the departure time.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the user interface is for receiving an acknowledgement after the notification is presented; and

the first control unit is for generating the alert based on the acknowledgement and the operation for displaying on the device.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the first storage unit is for recording a departure time when the user location is at a predetermined distance from the remote location.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the first control unit is for verifying a permissible operation after the operation is performed.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the location unit is for detecting an authorized agent location at the remote location based on the notification.

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

a second storage unit, coupled to the first communication unit, for recording an operation time for the operation;

a second communication unit, coupled to the second storage unit, for recording a departure time when the user location is not at the remote location;

a second control unit, coupled to the second communication unit, for comparing a processing duration for the operation since the departure time; and

wherein;

the first control unit is for detecting the operation time to be after the processing duration.
