INTELLIGENT ROUTE NAVIGATION
First Claim
1. A method for providing navigation instructions to a user for reaching a destination via a planned route on a map of a navigation system, said map comprising a plurality of road segments, at least a subset of said road segments comprising an assigned familiarity score, the method comprising:
- tracking a route taken by a user;
calculating an updated familiarity score of the one or more road segments of the tracked route using at least one of a user-defined updating variable and an updating variable based on at least one dynamically obtained actual travelling condition; and
storing the updated familiarity score in a data storage of the navigation system.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to providing navigation instructions to a user for reaching a destination via a route planned on a map of a navigation system, said map comprising a plurality of road segments, at least a subset of said road segments comprising an assigned familiarity score. An aspect includes tracking a route taken by a user. Another aspect includes calculating an updated familiarity score of the one or more road segments of the tracked route using at least one of a user-defined updating variable and an updating variable based on at least one dynamically obtained actual travelling condition. Yet another aspect includes storing the updated familiarity score in a data storage of the navigation system.

13. A system for providing navigation instructions to a user for reaching a destination via a planned route on a map of a navigation system, said map comprising a plurality of road segments, at least a subset of said road segments comprising an assigned familiarity score, the system comprising:
-
an input device, a display device and an audio output device, wherein the input device is configured to receive user input including a destination, the display device is configured to display at least a portion of the map; and
the audio output device is adapted to output the selected navigation instructions, the system configured to;track a route taken by a user; calculate an updated familiarity score of the one or more road segments of the tracked route using at least one of a user-defined updating variable and an updating variable based on at least one dynamically obtained actual travelling condition; and store the updated familiarity score in a data storage of the navigation system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
