Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: setting a delivery range for establishing a boundary; detecting a current location relative to the delivery range to a destination with the current location for locating a device; generating a travel route from the current location to the destination; selecting a delivery mode based on whether the current location is within the delivery range; and generating a local notification based on activating the delivery mode for displaying on the device.

Claims

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

setting a delivery range for establishing a boundary;

detecting a current location relative to the delivery range to a destination with the current location for locating a device;

generating a travel route from the current location to the destination;

selecting a delivery mode based on whether the current location is within the delivery range; and

generating a local notification based on activating the delivery mode for displaying on the device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising changing a granularity of a content of the local notification based on the current location relative to the delivery range.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

setting the delivery range includes setting multiple delivery ranges for establishing multiple boundaries; and

generating the local notification includes customizing the local notification to each of the multiple delivery ranges.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

generating the local notification includes generating a parking notification; and

further comprising;

updating the travel route based on delivering the parking notification for reaching the destination.

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

detecting a distance changed from the current location to the destination within the delivery range; and

updating the delivery mode based on the distance changed.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

selecting the delivery mode includes;

detecting a surrounding noise'"'"'s loudness,

selecting a visual mode based on the surrounding noise'"'"'s loudness, and

further comprising;

updating the local notification based on detecting the surrounding noise'"'"'s loudness changed for displaying on the device.

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

setting a delivery range for establishing a boundary;

detecting a current location relative to the delivery range to a destination with the current location for locating a device;

generating a travel route from the current location to the destination;

calculating a distance from the current location to the destination within the delivery range;

selecting a delivery mode based on the distance from the current location to the destination within the delivery range; and

generating a local notification based on activating the delivery mode by detecting the distance changed from the current location to the destination within the delivery range for displaying on the device.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein:

selecting the delivery mode includes;

detecting a traffic speed for monitoring the device,

selecting an audio mode based on the traffic speed, and

further comprising;

updating the local notification based on detecting the traffic speed changed for playing on the device.

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

detecting a distance changed from the current location to the destination within the delivery range; and

updating the local notification based on the distance changed.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein:

selecting the delivery mode includes;

detecting a pedestrian speed for monitoring the device,

selecting a pedestrian mode based on the pedestrian speed, and

further comprising;

updating the local notification based on detecting the pedestrian speed changed for displaying on the device.

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

receiving an entry for a category of interest; and

wherein;

generating the local notification includes;

generating the local notification for the category of interest within the delivery range, and

updating the local notification for the category of interest based on detecting the distance changed from the current location to the destination within the delivery range.

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

setting a notification setting for customizing the local notification; and

wherein;

generating the local notification includes generating the local notification based on the notification setting.

13. A navigation system comprising:

a range setter module for setting a delivery range for establishing a boundary;

a locator module, coupled to the range setter module, for detecting a current location relative to the delivery range to the destination with the current location for locating a device;

a route generator module, coupled to the locator module, for generating a travel route from the current location to the destination;

a dispatch mode module, coupled to the route generator module, for selecting a delivery mode based on whether the current location is within the delivery range; and

a notification module, coupled to the dispatch mode module, for generating a local notification based on activating the delivery mode for displaying on the device.

14. The system as claimed in claim 13 further comprising a granulation module, coupled to the route generator module, for changing a granularity of a content of the local notification based on the current location relative to the delivery range.

15. The system as claimed in claim 13 wherein:

the range setter module is for setting multiple delivery ranges for establishing multiple boundaries; and

the notification module is for generating the local notification relevant for each of the multiple delivery ranges.

16. The system as claimed in claim 13 wherein:

the notification module is for generating a parking notification; and
