Method and system for dynamic estimation and predictive route generation
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically predicting routes between a starting geographic location and a destination geographic location, comprising:
- setting a starting geographic location associated with a mobile communication device;
setting a destination geographic location associated with said mobile communication device;
generating a plurality of possible routes between said starting geographic location and said destination geographic location;
calculating a plurality of possible next geographic locations of said mobile communication device along each of said plurality of possible routes; and
iteratively updating said previously generated plurality of possible routes as said mobile communication device traverses at least one of said plurality of possible routes.

Abstract
The preferred embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for dynamic route estimation and prediction using discrete sampled location updates from various mobile devices for the purpose of providing a graphical representation of a mobile device'"'"'s route along a known network path of map data. The embodiments also provide supplemental route metrics, such as traveled distance, elapsed time, etc., and the capability to assign destination points for the purpose of providing the ability to modify location update points in an application, such as a route planner, and/or to store the dynamically generated route based on various preferences for later retrieval.
