Dynamic determination of optimal route delivery method
First Claim
1. A method for dynamic determination of optimal route delivery, the method comprising:
- receiving a point of interest location, a current vehicle location, and a date of first set of route directions from a telematics unit over a wireless network;
accessing the first set of route directions and a second set of route directions by a software application running on a navigation server from a database, wherein both the first set and second set of route directions are between the current vehicle location and the point of interest location;
determining whether there is a traffic obstacle along a route between the current vehicle location and the point of interest location;
determining whether the traffic obstacle was implemented after the date of the first set of directions;
sending a notification to a telematics service user of the traffic obstacle; and
providing the telematics service user with an alternate method of delivering route directions over the wireless network.

Abstract
A method and system for dynamic determination of optimal route delivery receives a point of interest location, a current vehicle location, and a date of first set of route directions from a telematics unit over a wireless network by a software application running on a navigation server. The application accesses the first set of route directions and a second set of route directions from a database located on a telematics service provider premises. Both the first and second set of route directions are between the current vehicle location and the point of interest. If there is a traffic obstacle along a route between the current vehicle location and the point of interest location and the traffic obstacle was implemented after the first set of directions, a live advisor sends a notification to a user and provides the user with an alternate method of delivering route directions over the wireless network.

7. A method for dynamic determination of optimal route delivery, the method comprising:
-
downloading a first set of route directions from a database within an autonomous navigation unit that is between a current vehicle location and a point of interest location; determining a date of the first set of route directions; sending the point of interest location, the current vehicle location, and the date of the first set of route directions to a telematics service provider over a wireless network; and receiving a second set of route directions between the current vehicle location and the point of interest location, from the telematics service provider, through an alternate method of delivering route directions, wherein the second set of route directions includes a traffic obstacle not in the first set of route directions.

8. A system for dynamic determination of optimal route delivery, the system comprising:
-
a software application running on a navigation server that accesses route directions and geographical data from a database containing selected route directions and geographical data; a telematics unit installed in a vehicle that provides telematics services to a user; a wireless network that provides communication between the telematics unit and the navigation server; an autonomous navigation unit installed within the telematics unit a user interface through which the user can request a point of interest; an autonomous navigation unit database containing route directions and geographical data; and an application for accessing the point of interest location from the autonomous navigation unit database, determining a current vehicle location, downloading a first set of route directions between the current vehicle location and the point of interest location, and determining the date of the first set of route directions. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
