Human emotion metrics for navigation plans and maps
First Claim
1. A computer program product for enhanced navigation route and destination planning comprising:
- a tangible, computer readable storage memory device;
first program instructions to receive a first human emotion metric corresponding to a travel destination or to a travel segment;
second program instructions to compare the received human emotion metric to a user-specified criterion to determine a degree of correlation between the destination or segment and a user preference; and
third program instructions to provide an indication to a user of acceptability or unacceptability of the travel destination or travel segment according to the degree of correlation;
wherein the first, second, and third program instructions are stored by the tangible, computer readable storage memory device.

Abstract
An enhanced navigation system allowing navigation route and destination planning according to user-specified criteria for the emotion state of persons along the route, at the destination, or both. The enhancement is accomplished by receiving a set of human emotion metrics corresponding to one or more parts of a navigation plan; determining if the human emotion metrics meet one or more user-specified criteria; responsive to not meeting the criteria, determining an alternate navigation plan until the user-specified criteria are met; and responsive to the criteria being met, presenting the navigation plan to the user for laying into a navigation system, and optionally during execution of the navigation plan updating the received human emotion metrics; repeating the determination against the user-specified criteria; and repeating the steps of determining an alternate navigation plan and presentation to a user responsive to the updated human emotion metrics not meeting the user-specified criteria.

6. A system for enhanced navigation route and destination planning comprising:
-
a metric input portion of a computing platform configured to receive a first human metric corresponding to a travel destination or to a travel segment; a comparator portion of the computing platform configured to compare the received human emotion metric to a user-specified criterion to determine a degree of correlation between the destination or segment and a user preference; and an indicator output portion of the computing platform configured to provide an indication to a user of acceptability or unacceptability of the travel destination or travel segment according to the degree of correlation; wherein the computing platform comprises a processor and one or more computer readable storage memories. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
