Automatic determination of a surrogate origin for personalized routing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, performed at least partially on a computer, for enabling display of a route, the method comprising:
- storing a surrogate origin in a computer storage medium in response to a user identification of the surrogate origin;
receiving an origin;
accessing mapping information stored in a computer storage medium;
identifying the surrogate origin stored in response to the user identification of the surrogate origin as a surrogate origin for the received origin;
determining a route from the identified surrogate origin to a destination; and
enabling display of the determined route.

Abstract
A surrogate origin is substituted for a user-entered or system-determined origin, and maneuvers for a route from the surrogate origin to a destination are determined and presented to the user as driving directions. A surrogate origin may be pre-selected or pre-configured for a user identity.

14. A method, performed at least partially on a computer, the method comprising:
-
receiving an origin; accessing mapping information stored in a computer storage medium; identifying a surrogate origin for the received origin, wherein identifying the surrogate origin for the received origin comprises enabling a requestor of directions to identify the surrogate origin; and using the mapping information to determine a route from the surrogate origin to a destination.

15. A method, performed at least partially on a computer, the method comprising:
-
receiving an origin; accessing mapping information stored in a computer storage medium; generating a set of maneuvers to be executed to traverse a route from the received origin to the destination; enabling identification of a surrogate origin for the received origin through inspection of the set of maneuvers generated; identifying the surrogate origin for the received origin; and using the mapping information to determine a route from the surrogate origin to a destination.
