Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a designated location for estimating travel information; generating a travel information A for traveling from an designated location to a destination A; generating a travel information B for traveling from the designated location to a destination B; and presenting the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently based on a display priority for displaying on a device.

Claims

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

determining a designated location for estimating travel information;

generating a travel information A for traveling from the designated location to a destination A;

generating a travel information B for traveling from the designated location to a destination B; and

presenting the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently based on a display priority for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising changing a presentation for customizing the travel information displayed on the device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting an unrequested travel information to a unregistered destination concurrently with the travel information A and the travel information B for displaying on the device.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forecasting the travel information based on extrapolating from a travel history.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting the travel information based on a category of interest for displaying concurrently on the device for a destination for sharing the category of interest.

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

determining a designated location for estimating travel information;

generating a travel information A for traveling from the designated location to a destination A;

generating a travel information B for traveling from the designated location to a destination B;

presenting the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently based on a display priority for displaying on a device; and

generating a travel route to the destination A, the destination B, or a combination thereof for displaying on the device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

generating the travel information A includes calculating a travel time A for traveling from the designated location to the destination A;

generating the travel information B includes calculating a travel time B for traveling from the designated location to the destination B; and

presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting the travel time A and the travel time B concurrently for displaying on the device.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

generating the travel information A includes calculating an estimated arrival time A for traveling from the designated location to the destination A;

generating the travel information B includes calculating an estimated arrival time B for traveling from the designated location to the destination B; and

presenting the travel information A and the travel information B includes presenting the estimated arrival time A and the estimated arrival time B concurrently for displaying on the device.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

determining the designated location includes determining a current location; and

further comprising;

updating the travel information A and the travel information B based on the current location changed for presenting concurrently on the device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

determining the designated location includes determining multiple designated locations;

generating the travel information A includes generating the travel information A from one of the multiple designated locations to the destination A; and

generating the travel information B includes generating the travel information B from another of the multiple designated locations to the destination B.

11. A navigation system comprising:

an origin determinator module for determining an designated location;

a trip A module, coupled to the origin determinator module, for generating a travel information A for traveling from the designated location to a destination A;

a trip B module, coupled to the origin determinator module, for generating a travel information B for traveling from the designated location to a destination B; and

a display module, coupled to the trip A module, for presenting the travel information A and the travel information B concurrently based on a display priority for displaying on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the display module includes a customization module for changing a presentation for customizing the travel information displayed on the device.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the display module includes an appearance module for presenting an unrequested travel information to a unregistered destination concurrently with the travel information A and the travel information B for displaying on the device.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a forecast module, coupled to the origin determinator module, for forecasting the travel information based on extrapolating from a travel history.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the display module includes a customization module for presenting the travel information based on a category of interest for displaying concurrently on the device for a destination for sharing the category of interest.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a route generator module, coupled to the display module, for generating a travel route to the destination A, the destination B, or a combination thereof for displaying on the device.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the trip A module includes a commute A module for calculating a travel time A for traveling from the designated location to the destination A;

the trip B module includes a commute B module for calculating a travel time B for traveling from the designated location to the destination B; and

the display module includes an appearance module for presenting the travel time A and the travel time B concurrently for displaying on the device.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the trip A module includes an arrival A module for calculating an estimated arrival time A for traveling from the designated location to the destination A;

the trip B module includes an arrival B module for calculating an estimated arrival time B for traveling from the designated location to the destination B; and

the display module includes an appearance module for presenting the estimated arrival time A and the estimated arrival time B concurrently for displaying on the device.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the origin determinator module is for determining a current location; and

the display module includes an update module for updating the travel information A and the travel information B based on the current location changed for presenting concurrently on the device.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the origin determinator module is for determining multiple designated locations;

the trip A module is for generating the travel information A from one of the multiple designated locations to the destination A; and

the trip B module is for generating the travel information B from another of the multiple designated locations to the destination B.
