Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a request for a destination; establishing a predetermined time period based on the destination; calculating a user generated address associated with the destination and filtered with the predetermined time period; generating a comparison between a destination address of the destination and the user generated address; and generating a travel route to the user generated address for the destination with the comparison as the non-match for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving a request for a destination;

establishing a predetermined time period based on the destination;

calculating a user generated address associated with the destination and filtered with the predetermined time period;

generating a comparison between a destination address of the destination and the user generated address; and

generating a travel route to the user generated address for the destination with the comparison as the non-match for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein establishing the predetermined time period includes establishing the predetermined time period based on a region classification of the destination.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein establishing the predetermined time period includes establishing the predetermined time period based on a location type of the destination.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

extracting user generated entries associated with the destination with the user generated entries each having an end time; and

wherein;

calculating the user generated address includes calculating the user generated address from the user generated entries based on a weighted average of the end time.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

extracting user generated entries associated with the destination with the user generated entries each having an end location; and

wherein;

calculating the user generated address includes calculating the user generated address from the user generated entries based on a weighted average of the end location.

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving a request for a destination;

establishing a predetermined time period based on the destination;

extracting user generated entries associated with the destination and created within the predetermined time period;

calculating a user generated address from a weighted average of the user generated entries;

generating a comparison between a destination address of the destination and the user generated address; and

generating a travel route to the user generated address of the destination with the comparison as the non-match for displaying on a device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

establishing the predetermined time period includes establishing the predetermined time period based on a region classification of the destination; and

further comprising;

selecting the region classification as an urban area, a suburban area, or a rural area.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

establishing the predetermined time period includes establishing the predetermined time period based on a location type of the destination; and

further comprising;

selecting the location type as a commercial location, an industrial location, or as a residential location.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

establishing the predetermined time period includes determining a season associated with the predetermined time period; and

further comprising;

adjusting the predetermined time period for the season.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising generating the travel route to the destination address of the destination with the comparison as a match.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a request receiver module for receiving a request for a destination;

a time threshold module, coupled to the request receiver module, for establishing a predetermined time period based on the destination;

an address calculation module, coupled to the time threshold module, for calculating a user generated address associated with the destination and filtered with the predetermined time period;

an address comparison module, coupled to the address calculation module, for generating a comparison between a destination address of the destination and the user generated address;

a route generation module, coupled to the address comparison module, for generating a travel route to the user generated address for the destination with the comparison as a non-match; and

a route display module, coupled to the route generation module, for displaying the travel route on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the time threshold module is for establishing the predetermined time period based on a region classification of the destination.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the time threshold module is for establishing the predetermined time period based on a location type of the destination.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a user entry extraction module, coupled to the time threshold module, for extracting user generated entries associated with the destination with the user generated entries each having an end time; and

wherein;

the address calculation module is for calculating the user generated address from the user generated entries based on a weighted average of the end time.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a user entry extraction module, coupled to the time threshold module, for extracting user generated entries associated with the destination with the user generated entries each having an end location; and

wherein;

the address calculation module is for calculating the user generated address from the user generated entries based on a weighted average of the end location.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a user entry extraction module, coupled to the time threshold module, for extracting user generated entries associated with the destination and created within the predetermined time period; and

wherein;

the address calculation module is for calculating the user generated address from the user generated entries.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the time threshold module is for establishing the predetermined time period based on a region classification includes a region selection module for selecting the region classification as an urban area, a suburban area, or a rural area.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the time threshold module is for establishing the predetermined time period based on a location type includes a location selection module for selecting the location type as an industrial location, a commercial location, or a residential location.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the time threshold module is for adjusting the predetermined time period for a season includes a season determination module for determining the season.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the route generation module is for generating the travel route to the destination address of the destination with the comparison as a match.
