Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a multiple instances of a user location within a geofence; generating an event with a control unit based on a user count of the user location meeting or exceeding a count threshold; and generating a notification based on the event for displaying on a device.

Claims

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

determining a multiple instances of a user location within a geofence;

generating an event with a control unit based on a user count of the user location meeting or exceeding a count threshold; and

generating a notification based on the event for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the event includes generating the event based on a user distance between a personal location and an other'"'"'s location is within a distance threshold.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the event includes generating the event based on a relationship level meeting or exceeding a relationship threshold.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising limiting an exposure level based on detecting the user location within a home geofence.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising limiting an exposure level to a protection radius for protecting the user location from being located.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining an exposure level based on a zoom level for limiting the exposure level of the user location.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining an event popularity based on the user count meeting or exceeding the count threshold for notifying the event.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising terminating the event based on the user count less than the count threshold for eliminating the event from being displayed.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising aggregating a multiple instances of a content based on an event status as being terminated for sharing the content to multiple instances of the device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising aggregating a multiple instances of a content captured at the event for sharing the content to multiple instances of the device.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit for;

determining a multiple instances of a user location within a geofence,

generating an event based on a user count of the user location meeting or exceeding a count threshold,

generating a notification based on the event, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, for communicating the notification for displaying on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is generating the event based on a user distance between a personal location and an other'"'"'s location is within a distance threshold.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is generating the event based on a relationship level meeting or exceeding a relationship threshold.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is limiting an exposure level based on detecting the user location within a home geofence.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is limiting an exposure level to a protection radius for protecting the user location from being located.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution, the instructions comprising:

determining a multiple instances of a user location within a geofence;

generating an event based on a user count of the user location meeting or exceeding a count threshold; and

generating a notification based on the event for displaying on a device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising generating the event based on a user distance between a personal location and an other'"'"'s location is within a distance threshold.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising generating the event based on a relationship level meeting or exceeding a relationship threshold.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising limiting an exposure level based on detecting the user location within a home geofence.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising limiting an exposure level to a protection radius for protecting the user location from being located.
