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 calendar information including scheduled events of a user, 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 the calendar information, accessing the location information and map information to determine a route, and audibly and/or visually displaying the route on the device. The determining of the route is also based on a current speed at which the user is moving.

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 calendar information including scheduled events of a user;

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 the calendar information, accessing the location information and map information to determine a route, the route also being determined based on a current speed the user is moving; 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 route information provided by users other than the user of the device, the route information indicating popular routes; and

using the route information to determine a route.

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

accessing past route information indicating routes previously taken by the user of the device; and

using the past route 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:

accessing social network information pertaining to the route; and

presenting at least a portion of the social network information on a display of the device.

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

using the social network information to determine the route.

9. A method, comprising:

determining, using a consumer electronics (CE) device, a first route to travel based on one or more parameters indicated by a user of the CE device;

presenting the first route on the CE device;

accessing, using the CE device, at least one social network;

determining social network information from the social network pertaining to the first route;

determining at least based on the social networking information whether at least one obstruction exists at at least one location on the first route;

responsive to determining at least based on the social networking information that at least one obstruction exists at at least one location on the first route, determining at least one available different route and/or at least one available detour to bypass the obstruction; and

automatically presenting on the CE device a notification of the obstruction and an indication of the at least one available different route and/or the at least one available detour.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the first route is delineated on a road map that also includes topographical information.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the indication is an audible indication of the at least one available different route and/or the at least one available detour to bypass the obstruction.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the audible indication is a first audible indication, the first indication followed by a second audible indication that indicates that the at least one available different route and/or at least one available detour fails to comport with at least one of the at least one parameters.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the audible indication is a first audible indication, the first indication followed by a second audible indication that indicates that the at least one available different route and/or at least one available detour also includes at least one obstruction, the second audible indication specifying at least the nature of the obstruction.

14. The method of claim 11, further including:

receiving user input subsequent to presenting the indication, the user input indicating selection of an available different route and/or an available detour; and

responsive to receiving the user input, presenting the selected available different route and/or the selected available detour on the CE device.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the at least one available different route and/or the at least one available detour is determined using the CE device at least in part by accessing map information at a server after determining that the at least one obstruction exists and making the determination based on the map information.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining includes determining, using the CE device, the first route based on the one or more parameters associated with a user of the CE device and determining at least a second route based on the one or more parameters, the first and second route both including at least one common location, the first and second routes being stored on the CE device prior to determining whether at least one obstruction exists, the second route being indicated in the indication subsequent to determining that the obstruction exists.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining that at least one obstruction exists is based on social networking information and current weather information from a weather station located at or near the route.

18. The method of claim 9, comprising at least two parameters, wherein at least one parameters is a starting location for where geographically the route is to originate, and at least one parameter is a maximum radius from the starting location that any portion of the route is to be distanced from.

19. A consumer electronics (CE) 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;

determining a first route to travel based on at least two parameters from a group of parameters, the group of parameters being based on user input to the CE device and including calendar information of scheduled events of the user providing the user input, information accessed over a social networking service, difficulty of desired route information input by the user, and current climate conditions at or proximate to a geographical area indicated by the user as the area in which to determine the route;

presenting the route on the CE device at least for at least a portion of time a user of the CE device is traveling the route;

altering the first route to establish a second route, the first route being altered after the user has begun traveling the first route at least based on a determination that the user will not complete the first route before a scheduled event from the calendar information is to occur; and

presenting the second route on the CE device.

20. The CE device of claim 19, wherein determining the first route is based on all parameters in the group, and wherein the group of parameters consists of calendar information of scheduled events of the user providing the user input, information accessed over a social networking service, difficulty of desired route information input by the user, and current climate conditions at or proximate to a geographical area indicated by the user as the area in which to determine the route.
