Time Related Points of Interest For Navigation System
First Claim
1. A method performed by a computing system having navigation capability, the method comprising:
- receiving location information associated with a current location of a user;
with the computing system, determining a route between the current location and a destination;
with the computing system, providing a user with navigation along the route;
with the computing system, receiving from the user, an allotted time value;
searching a database comprising a plurality of entries, each entry comprising a point of interest and a visitation time value associated with that point of interest;
calculating a deviation time value based on the visitation time value for one or more of the plurality of entries;
determining a set of points of interest, each point of interest in the set being associated with a deviation time value that is less than the allotted time value; and
with the computing system, presenting a point of interest from the set to the user.

Abstract
A method performed by a computing system includes, with the computing system, providing a user with directions from a current location of the user to a destination, searching a database for a set of points of interest within a predefined distance from a route between the current location and the destination, the searching accounting for a deviation time value associated with each point of interest and a user received allotted time value, the allotted time value indicating a total amount of time the user has allotted for deviation from the route, the deviation time value indicating an estimated amount of time it takes to visit a corresponding point of interest, and presenting to the user, at least one point of interest with the corresponding visitation time value being less than the time deviation value.

18. A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising machine readable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computing system, cause the system to:
-
determine a current location of a user; determine a route between the current location and a destination; provide a user with navigation along the route; receive from the user, an allotted time value; search a database comprising a plurality of entries, each entry comprising a point of interest and a visitation time value associated with that point of interest; calculate a deviation time value based on the visitation time value for each of the plurality of entries; determine a set of points of interest, each point of interest in the set being associated with a deviation time value that is less than the allotted time value; and present a point of interest from the set to the user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
