METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A ROUTE FORECAST USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining at least one target geographic point and at least one target time of arrival at the at least one target geographic point;
causing, at least in part, a calculation of at least one reachability forecast with respect to one or more transportation parameters, wherein the at least one reachability forecast indicates whether at least one user can reach the at least one target geographic point at the at least one target time from at least one starting location, at least one starting time, or a combination thereof with respect to the one or more transportation parameters;
causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more representations of the at least one reachability forecast; and
causing, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more representations in at least one calendar-based user interface.

Abstract
An approach is provided for a route forecast user interface. The approach involves determining at least one target geographic point and at least one target time of arrival at the at least one target geographic point. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a calculation of at least one reachability forecast with respect to one or more transportation parameters. The at least one reachability forecast indicates whether at least one user can reach the at least one target geographic point at the at least one target time from at least one starting location, at least one starting time, or a combination thereof with respect to the one or more transportation parameters. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more representations of the at least one reachability forecast. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more representations in at least one calendar-based user interface.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine at least one target geographic point and at least one target time of arrival at the at least one target geographic point; cause, at least in part, a calculation of at least one reachability forecast with respect to one or more transportation parameters, wherein the at least one reachability forecast indicates whether at least one user can reach the at least one target geographic point at the at least one target time from at least one starting location, at least one starting time, or a combination thereof with respect to the one or more transportation parameters; cause, at least in part, a generation of one or more representations of the at least one reachability forecast; and cause, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more representations in at least one calendar-based user interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
-
determining at least one target geographic point and at least one target time of arrival at the at least one target geographic point; causing, at least in part, a calculation of at least one reachability forecast with respect to one or more transportation parameters, wherein the at least one reachability forecast indicates whether at least one user can reach the at least one target geographic point at the at least one target time from at least one starting location, at least one starting time, or a combination thereof with respect to the one or more transportation parameters; causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more representations of the at least one reachability forecast; and causing, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more representations in at least one calendar-based user interface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
