Abstract

Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for providing an information card to the user based on determining that current location is a unique location and based a determined mode of arrival. The determination that a current location is a unique location may be based on a location history determined based on a user account or a device log. The information card may also be generated based on a user history or a user selection and may provide information about an establishment or travel directions. The information card may contain predictive information.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a current location of a user;

determining that the current location is a unique location;

determining a mode of arrival;

based on determining that the current location is a unique location, generating an information card based on the current location and the mode of arrival;

providing the information card to the user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the current location is determined based on a device selected from the group consisting of:

a mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop, a vehicle component, and a GPS sensor.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the current location is determined based on one or more selected from the group consisting of:

GPS coordinates, Wi-Fi source, and cellular triangulation.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the current location is one selected from the group consisting of:

GPS coordinates, an establishment, a landmark, an address, a zip-code, a city, a state, and a country.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the determination that a current location is a unique location is based on a location history.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the location history is based on one or more selected from the group consisting of:

a user account and a device log.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the mode of arrival is determined based on one or more selected from the group consisting of:

a travel speed and a user account data.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the information card based on a user preference, the user preference selected from one or more from the group consisting of:

a user history and a user selection.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the information card is further generated based on one or more selected from the group consisting of:

a time, a location, an establishment, and a current condition.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the information card comprises information about an establishment.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the information card comprises information about travel directions.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the information card comprises predictive information.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the predictive information comprises a suggested action at a future time, the suggested action based on current attributes of a user, setting, or events.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the information card is provided via an output mode selected from the group consisting of:

a vehicle display, a vehicle speaker, a mobile device display, a mobile device speaker.

15. A system comprising

a processor configured to:

receive a current location of a user;

determine that the current location is a unique location;

determine a mode of arrival;

based on determining that the current location is a unique location, generating an information card based on the current location and the mode of arrival;

provide the information card to the user.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the information card comprises predictive information.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the predictive information comprises a suggested action at a future time, the suggested action based on current attributes.
