Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a travel context with a control unit based on a vehicle information for identifying a vehicle; determining a restriction level based on the travel context for controlling a content retrieval by a head unit from a device; and determining the content retrieval based on the restriction level for displaying a display content on the head unit.

Claims

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

determining a travel context with a control unit based on a vehicle information for identifying a vehicle;

determining a restriction level based on the travel context for controlling a content retrieval by a head unit from a device; and

determining the content retrieval based on the restriction level for displaying a display content on the head unit.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the restriction level includes determining the restriction level based on the vehicle information for controlling the content retrieval.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the restriction level includes determining the restriction level based on a content type for controlling the display content displayed on the head unit.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the restriction level includes determining the restriction level based on a connectivity record meeting or exceeding a frequency threshold for controlling the content retrieval.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the restriction level includes determining the restriction level based on a travel condition for adjusting the restriction level.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the content retrieval includes determining the content retrieval based on the travel context for retrieving a contact information.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the content retrieval includes determining the content retrieval based on the vehicle information for controlling the content retrieval of a calendar information, a contact information, or a combination thereof.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the content retrieval includes determining the content retrieval based on the travel context for retrieving a calendar information.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising displaying the display content based on the content retrieval for displaying a contact information.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising displaying the display content based on the content retrieval for displaying a calendar information.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit for;

determining a travel context based on a vehicle information for identifying a vehicle,

determining a restriction level based on the travel context for controlling a content retrieval by a head unit from a device,

determining the content retrieval based on the restriction level, and

an user interface, coupled to the control unit, for displaying a display content on the head unit.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the restriction level based on the vehicle information for controlling the content retrieval.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the restriction level based on a content type for controlling the display content displayed on the head unit.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the restriction level based on a connectivity record meeting or exceeding a frequency threshold for controlling the content retrieval.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the restriction level based on a travel condition for adjusting the restriction level.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the content retrieval based on the travel context for retrieving a contact information.

17. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the content retrieval based on the vehicle information for controlling the content retrieval of a calendar information, a contact information, or a combination thereof.

18. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining the content retrieval based on the travel context for retrieving a calendar information.

19. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for displaying the display content based on the content retrieval for displaying a contact information.

20. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for displaying the display content based on the content retrieval for displaying a calendar information.
