1. A computer-implemented method for predicting an event, the method comprising:
- receiving mapping queries from a plurality of users;
associating a time constraint with each of the received mapping queries;
relating, with a processor, the received mapping queries with one another based on the time constraint associated with each mapping query;
determining, based on the relationship between the received mapping queries, that multiple users are querying about a specific location within a time period; and
predicting, with the processor, an event associated with the specific location based on the determination.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for predicting a destination for a ground-based vehicle. Travel patterns are accessed and a series of locations of a ground-based vehicle are received. At least some of the received locations are related to at least one accessed travel pattern, and a destination of the ground-based vehicle is predicted based on relating the received locations with the travel patterns. An existence of an event may be predicted using the predicted destinations of a ground-based vehicle.

-
receiving mapping queries from a plurality of users; associating a time constraint with each of the received mapping queries; relating, with a processor, the received mapping queries with one another based on the time constraint associated with each mapping query; determining, based on the relationship between the received mapping queries, that multiple users are querying about a specific location within a time period; and predicting, with the processor, an event associated with the specific location based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system for predicting an event, the system comprising:
-
a storage medium that stores a set of programmable instructions; and at least one processor that executes the programmable instructions to; receive mapping queries from a plurality of users; associate a time constraint with each of the received mapping queries; relate the mapping queries with one another based on the time constraint associated with each mapping query; determine, based on the relationship between the received mapping queries, that multiple users are querying about a specific location within a time period; and predict an event associated with the specific location based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system comprising logic that executes code with instructions, including instructions to:
-
timestamp each of plural mapping queries received from multiple users, each mapping query concerning a location; relate the timestamped mapping queries with one another based on their timestamps; and predict a future event affecting a specific location when multiple users query about a specified location within a specified timeframe, based on the relationships between the timestamped mapping queries and the locations of which the timestamped mapping queries concern.
