Method of optimizing traffic content
First Claim
1. A method of optimizing traffic content in a distributed communications system having a communications node and a remote communications node, the method comprising:
- providing a traffic flow algorithm coupled to receive a set of solicited navigation route data and a set of solicited traffic data between a starting location and a destination location, wherein the traffic flow algorithm is designed to compute a set of optimized traffic content between the starting location and the destination location;
receiving a set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data between the starting location and the destination location;
incorporating the set of solicited navigation route data, the set of solicited traffic data and the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data into the traffic flow algorithm; and
calculating a set of optimized traffic content between the starting location and the destination location, utilizing at least the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data.

Abstract
A method of optimizing traffic content includes providing a traffic flow algorithm (220) coupled to receive a set of solicited navigation route data (210) and a set of solicited traffic data (212) between a starting location (305, 405) and a destination location (310, 410), where traffic flow algorithm (220) is designed to compute a set of optimized traffic content (230) between a starting location (305, 405) and a destination location (310, 410). A set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data (215) is received and incorporated with set of solicited navigation route data (210) and set of solicited traffic data (212) into traffic flow algorithm (220). A set of optimized traffic content (230) is calculated between the starting location (305, 405) and the destination location (310, 410) utilizing at least the set of unsolicited user-defined navigation route data (215).
