COMMON POINT OF INTEREST ("POI") IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of determining a geographically reachable area where a vehicle is in communication with a network, and the network is in communication with at least one other vehicle, comprising:
- establishing communication between the vehicle and at least one other vehicle through the network;
determining a travel range for the vehicle and a travel range for the at least one other vehicle;
comparing the travel range for the at least one other vehicle with the travel range for the vehicle;
determining where the travel range for the at least one other vehicle and the travel range for the vehicle overlap;
identifying the geographically reachable area by both the vehicle and the at least one other vehicle, wherein the geographically reachable area is where the travel range for the at least one other vehicle and the travel range for the vehicle overlap; and
providing an indication of the geographically reachable area.

Abstract
A system and method of determining a geographically reachable area is provided. A vehicle is in communication with a network. The network is in communication with at least one other vehicle. The method includes establishing communication between the vehicle and at least one other vehicle through the network. The method includes determining a travel range for the vehicle and a travel range for the at least one other vehicle. The method includes comparing the travel range for the at least one other vehicle with the travel range for the vehicle. The method includes determining where the travel range for the at least one other vehicle and the travel range for the vehicle overlap. The method further includes identifying the geographically reachable area by both the vehicle and the at least one other vehicle.

12. A system for calculating geographically reachable area associated with a vehicle, the system in communication with a network, the network in communication with at least one other vehicle, comprising:
-
a display; a control module in communication with the network and the display, the control module comprising; a control logic for monitoring the network and receiving a data signal that contains information indicating a travel range for the at least one other vehicle; a control logic for determining a travel range for the vehicle; a control logic for comparing the travel range for the at least one other vehicle with the travel range for the vehicle; a control logic for determining where the travel range for the at least one other vehicle and the travel range for the vehicle overlap; a control logic for identifying the geographically reachable area by both the vehicle and the at least one other vehicle, wherein the geographically reachable area is where the travel range for the at least one other vehicle and the travel range for the vehicle overlap; and a control logic for creating a set of graphical data representing the geographically reachable area, wherein the set of graphical data is shown on the display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
