First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for remotely entering location information into a positional information device, the system comprising:
- a server configured to receive a request for an address of at least one location not already stored in the positional information device, to determine the address of the least one location and to transmit the determined address to the positional information device,wherein the request is received from a remote computer with a first identifier and the server being configured to determine a second identifier for identifying the positional information device based on the received first identifier;
the positional information device includinga locational information module for determining location information of the positional information device;
a communication module for receiving the determined address of the at least one location from the server;
a processing module configured to receive the determined address from the communication module and determine route guidance based on the location of the positional information device and the determined address; and
a display module for displaying the route guidance; and
a communications network for coupling the positional information device to the server.

Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for remotely entering, storing and sharing location addresses for a positional information device, e.g., a global positioning system (GPS) device, are provided. The present disclosure allows a user to easily and safely enter an address into a GPS device by giving that address to a remote communications link and to have that link automatically program the user'"'"'s GPS device for usage. The device, system and method of the present disclosure further allows the user to use this stored address(es) on multiple GPS devices without having to manually enter the address(es).

13. A system for remotely entering location information into a positional information device, the system comprising:
-
a server configured to receive a request for an address of at least one location not already stored in the positional information device, to determine the address of the least one location and to transmit the determined address to the positional information device; the positional information device including a locational information module for determining location information of the positional information device; a communication module for receiving the determined address of the at least one location from the server; a processing module configured to receive the determined address from the communication module and determine route guidance based on the location of the positional information device and the determined address; and a display module for displaying the route guidance; and a communications network for coupling the positional information device to the server, wherein the server receives a time and date associated with the requested at least one location and transmits the associated time and date with the determined address to the positional information device and the positional information device displays the determined address at the associated time and date. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
