Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: identifying a location message including an internet address and a message portion; and generating with a control unit a geographic profile associated with the internet address based on the message portion for locating a device based on the internet address.

Claims

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

identifying a location message including an internet address and a message portion; and

generating with a control unit a geographic profile associated with the internet address based on the message portion for locating a device based on the internet address.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

determining a set detail based on multiple instances of the location message; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes calculating a coverage zone and a confidence level corresponding to the coverage zone based on the set detail for locating the device based on the internet address.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

identifying a portal location for locating a communication portal; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the portal location.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

identifying a relevant sequence including a generic message and the location message; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the generic message in the relevant sequence.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

identifying a relevant sequence including a generic message and the location message;

identifying a travel route associated with the relevant sequence; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the generic message and the travel route.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

determining a reliability status for a relevant sequence including the location message; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the reliability status.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the geographic profile includes determining an address range for the geographic profile including multiple separate instances of the internet address for representing a communication portal.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a generic message corresponding to the internet address and without a location data in the message portion; and

generating a location-specific content without the location data based on the geographic profile associated with the internet address for communicating to the device.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a generic message corresponding to the internet address and including a location data in the message portion; and

generating a reliability status based on comparing the location data to the geographic profile associated with the internet address.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a generic message corresponding to the internet address;

identifying the geographic profile associated with the internet address; and

calculating a location estimate based on the geographic profile for locating the device based on the internet address.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a communication unit for communicating a location message;

a control unit, coupled to the communication unit, for;

identifying a location message including an internet address and a message portion, and

generating a geographic profile associated with the internet address based on the message portion for locating a device based on the internet address.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for:

determining a set detail based on multiple instances of the location message; and

calculating a coverage zone and a confidence level corresponding to the coverage zone based on the set detail for locating the device based on the internet address.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for:

identifying a portal location for locating a communication portal; and

generating the geographic profile based on the portal location.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for:

identifying a relevant sequence including a generic message and the location message; and

generating the geographic profile based on the generic message in the relevant sequence.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for:

identifying a relevant sequence including a generic message and the location message;

identifying a travel route associated with the relevant sequence; and

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the generic message and the travel route.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for a navigation system comprising:

identifying a location message including an internet address and a message portion; and

generating with a control unit a geographic profile associated with the internet address based on the message portion for locating a device based on the internet address.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

determining a set detail based on multiple instances of the location message; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes calculating a coverage zone and a confidence level corresponding to the coverage zone based on the set detail for locating the device based on the internet address.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

identifying a portal location for locating a communication portal; and

generating the geographic profile based on the portal location.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

identifying a relevant sequence including a generic message and the location message; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the generic message in the relevant sequence.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

identifying a relevant sequence including a generic message and the location message;

identifying a travel route associated with the relevant sequence; and

wherein;

generating the geographic profile includes generating the geographic profile based on the generic message and the travel route.
