Method and system for dynamic estimation and predictive route generation
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically predicting routes between a starting location and a destination location, comprising:
- setting received location information associated with a mobile communication device as a starting location;
estimating a speed of said mobile communication device traveling from said starting location to a destination location;
generating a plurality of possible routes between said starting location and said destination location;
calculating a plurality of possible next locations of said mobile communication device along each of said plurality of possible routes; and
iteratively updating said plurality of possible routes as said mobile communication device travels towards said destination location.

Abstract
The preferred embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for dynamic route estimation and prediction using discrete sampled location updates from various mobile devices for the purpose of providing a graphical representation of a mobile device'"'"'s route along a known network path of map data. The embodiments also provide supplemental route metrics, such as traveled distance, elapsed time, etc., and the capability to assign destination points for the purpose of providing the ability to modify location update points in an application, such as a route planner, and/or to store the dynamically generated route based on various preferences for later retrieval.
