Abstract

A device includes at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor and at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions. The instructions configure the processor for accessing terrain information representing preferred terrain of a user of the device, accessing map information, accessing location information indicating current location of the user, and receiving user input indicating a desire for route information. Based at least in part on time constraints indicated from calendar information, the instructions configure the processor for accessing the location information, terrain information, and map information to determine a route and audibly and/or visually displaying the route on the device.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor;

at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions to configure the processor for;

accessing terrain information representing preferred terrain of a user of the device;

accessing map information;

accessing location information indicating current location of the user;

receiving user input indicating a desire for route information;

based at least in part on time constraints indicated from calendar information, accessing the location information, terrain information, and map information to determine a mute; and

audibly and/or visually displaying the route on the device.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the user input includes voice input.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the user input includes a hand gesture in free space.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor when executing the instructions is further configured for:

accessing fitness information pertaining to a fitness level of the user; and

using the fitness information to determine the mute.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor when executing the instructions is further configured for:

accessing personal preference information pertaining to preferences of a user of the device; and

using the preference information to determine a route.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor when executing the instructions is further configured for:

outputting a distance and a time to complete associated with the route.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor when executing the instructions is further configured for:

determining the route by determining an initial route and determining plural circuits of the initial mute, the plural circuits of the initial route establishing the route to satisfy the user input indicating a desire for route information while remaining within time and/or personal preference constraints of the user.

8. A method, comprising:

receiving input from a user of a first consumer electronics (CE) device indicating a desired distance for a travel route, a starting location for the travel route, and an ending location for the travel route;

determining a travel route based on the input; and

presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) on the first CE device representing a map of the travel route.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the travel route once determined is distributed to at least one other CE device including a second CE device.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

presenting on the GUI the location of the first CE device;

adjusting the location of the first CE device as the physical location of the first CE device changes; and

transmitting from the first CE device to the second CE device at least one real time update of the position of the first CE device.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the travel route is distributed to the second CE device along with alert information also distributed to the second CE device, the alert information configured to cause an alarm to be presented on the second CE device responsive to a determination at the second CE device that a real time update of the position of the first CE device does not conform an estimated position of the CE device on the travel route at the time the real time update is received.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the travel route is distributed to the second CE device along with alert information also distributed to the second CE device, the alert information configured to cause an alarm to be presented on the second CE device responsive to a determination at the second CE device that a real time update of the position of the first CE device has not been received within a threshold period of time specified in the alert information.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the travel route is determined based on the input and also based on at least one piece of information from a social networking profile of the user.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the piece of information pertains to an interest of the user, and the travel route at at least one portion thereof comes within the proximity of a location pertaining to the interest of the user.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the proximity is within a maximum radius of the location, the maximum radius being based on user input to the first CE device.

16. A server, comprising:

at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor;

at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions to configure the processor to;

communicate with at least first and second consumer electronics (CE) devices to at least determine the location of at least one of the first and second CE devices;

provide to the first and second CE devices information pertaining to a route for respective users of the first and second CE devices to travel, the route being based at least on at least one current climate parameter of the climate at or around the location of at least one of the CE devices, at least one temporal parameter, and at least one distance parameter,

receive real time location updates from each of the first and second CE devices as the first and second CE devices move along the route; and

provide to at least the first CE device information pertaining to the real time location at least of the second CE device as the second CE device moves along the route.

17. The server of claim 16, wherein the server provides to both the first and second CE devices map information representing the real time locations of the first and second CE devices.

18. The server of claim 16, wherein responsive to determining that a real time location updated has not been received from at least one of the first and second CE devices within a threshold time, transmitting to a third CE device a notification that a real time location update has not been received from the at least one of the first and second CE devices.

19. The server of claim 18, wherein the notification is transmitted to an emergency service available to the public along with location information from the most recent location update received from the at least one of the first and second CE devices for which the threshold time has expired without receiving a real time location update.

20. The server of claim 16, wherein the instructions configure the processor to receive real time biometric information updates, each real time biometric information update being received from one of the first and second CE devices, the biometric information update pertaining to biometric information of the user of the respective CE device from which the biometric information update is received.
