METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING A DESTINATION USING A ROUTE SEARCH ALGORITHM
First Claim
1. A mobile device, comprising a processor communicably coupled to a trip database storing information indicative of a personal road network of a user of the mobile device, one or more road segments in the personal road network being associated with a respective destination location, wherein the processor is arranged to operably execute a prediction module to predict a destination based on a current location of the mobile device and the trip database, and wherein the prediction module is arranged to predict the destination by executing a route search algorithm with respect to the personal road network and cost information associated with road segments in the personal network, the cost information being based, at least in part, on traversal information in the trip database.

Abstract
A method of predicting a destination of a user of a mobile device is described, together with a device for performing the same. The method comprises determining a location of the mobile device, and executing a route search algorithm with respect to a trip data-base. The trip database stores information indicative of a personal road network of a user of the mobile device, one or more road segments in the personal road network being associated with a respective destination location, and cost information associated with road segments in the personal network, the cost information being based, at least in part, on traversal information in the trip database.
