First Claim
1. A method of identifying a location of interest between a user and an identified endpoint, comprising:
- computing a reference vector based on the user'"'"'s current positional information, current velocity information, and the identified endpoint;
designating, by a navigation unit, a sampling bandwidth based on current distance to the identified endpoint, wherein the navigation unit dynamically expands the sampling bandwidth as the user approaches within a predetermined distance of the identified endpoint;
identifying one or more locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth that are between the user and the identified endpoint;
computing a sampling vector for at least one of the one or more locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth; and
alerting the user to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for identifying a location of interest between a user and an identified endpoint and computing at least one reference vector based on current positional information, current velocity information, and an identified endpoint. A sampling bandwidth is designated based on at least one of current velocity information, current positional information, and current distance to the identified endpoint. One or more locations of interest between the user and the identified endpoint are identified within the sampling bandwidth. A sampling vector is calculated for at least one of the one or more locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth, and the user is alerted to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth.

10. A method of identifying a location of interest between a user and an identified endpoint, comprising:
-
receiving a computed reference vector based on the user'"'"'s current positional information, current velocity information, and an identified endpoint; designating, by a navigation unit, a sampling bandwidth based on current distance to the identified endpoint, wherein the navigation unit dynamically expands the sampling bandwidth as the user approaches within a predetermined distance of the identified endpoint; receiving a signal including information identifying one or more locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth that are between the user and the identified endpoint; receiving a computed sampling vector for at least one of the one or more locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth; and alerting the user to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
