System, method and device for predicting navigational decision-making behavior
First Claim
1. A system for predicting navigational decision-making behavior comprising:
- a route predicting device having a location unit that determines a current location of the device; and
a behavior predicting application that generates a predicted route a current driver is intending to travel based on the current location of the device and a plurality of predetermined factors that predict the route the current driver is intending to travel, the predetermined factors including other driver data for a plurality of other drivers;
wherein the behavior predicting application generates the predicted route by gathering the other driver data from the plurality of other drivers and comparing the other driver data from the plurality of other drivers to those of the current driver to select a subset of drivers from the plurality of other drivers having behavior patterns that best match the current driver.

Abstract
A system method and device for predicting navigational decision-making behavior is provided. The location of a device is used to generate the current location of the device, and a history of past locations of the device. A behavior predicting application predicts the route a drive is going to travel based on driver preferences, such as left-hand turns, avoidance of bridges, etc., as well as the preferred destinations and/or routes traveled in the past. The preferences of a particular driver can be learned by the system to be implemented in the behavior predicting application, or manually input by the driver. The system can employ GPS or other positioning technology to determine the location of the device. The device can be a standard GPS-enabled in-car device, or other portable device such as a cell phone or PDA.

6. A method for predicting navigational decision-making behavior of a driver comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining driver preference data containing driver preferences for a current driver; obtaining routes traveled data based upon a current location of a device and at least one past location of the device; and generating, with a processor, a predicted route based on the driver preference data and the routes traveled data and by gathering other driver data from a plurality of other drivers and comparing the other driver data from the plurality of other drivers to those of the current driver to select a subset of drivers from the plurality of other drivers having behavior patterns that best match the current driver. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A display screen for displaying a predicted route based on navigational decision-making behavior, the display screen comprising:
-
a route display screen showing a map of an area surrounding a current location of a driver; an intended route image showing the predicted route that the driver intends to travel, as determined by a prediction application; and a plurality of buttons allowing the user to interface with the prediction application that determines the route that the driver intends to travel; wherein at least one of the plurality of buttons allows the user to interface with the prediction application to generate the predicted route by gathering the other driver data from the plurality of other drivers and comparing the other driver data from the plurality of other drivers to those of the current driver to select a subset of drivers from the plurality of other drivers having behavior patterns that best match the current driver. - View Dependent Claims (21)
