System and method for determination and display of personalized distance
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a processor over a network, a request for determination of a personalized distance, wherein the request comprises an identification of a requesting user, and a plurality of real world entities comprising at least a starting location and an ending location;
determining, by the processor via the network, at least one route between the starting location and the ending location;
retrieving, by the processor via the network, spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to the requesting user, each real world entity and the at least one route using a global index of data available to the network;
deriving, by the processor, habits of the requesting user from sensor data and interaction data accumulated over time for the requesting user;
imputing, by the processor, preferences to the requesting user based on the derived habits;
modifying, by the processor, a first value of a spatial distance of the at least one route between the starting and the ending locations to a second value disparate from the first value based on the temporal, topical, and social data relating to the requesting user, each real world entity and the at least one route, wherein the second value of the spatial distance is determined by further weighing the temporal data with the preferences imputed to the requesting user;
calculating, by the processor, a personalized distance between the starting location and the ending location from the modified spatial distance; and
transmitting, by the processor via the network, instructions for displaying on a display medium, for each of the at least one route, a representation of the personalized distance calculated for the at least one route.

Abstract
A system and method for determination and display of personalized distance. A request is received for the determination of a personalized distance over a network, wherein the request comprises an identification of a requesting user, and a plurality of real world entities comprising at least a starting location and an ending location. At least one route is determined between the first location and the second location. Spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to the requesting user and each real world entity and the route is retrieved using a global index of data available to the network. A personalized distance is calculated via the network between the first location and the second location using spatial, temporal, topical, and social data relating to the requesting user and each real world entity and the route. A representation of the personalized distance calculated for the route is displayed on a display medium.

1. A method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, by a processor over a network, a request for determination of a personalized distance, wherein the request comprises an identification of a requesting user, and a plurality of real world entities comprising at least a starting location and an ending location; determining, by the processor via the network, at least one route between the starting location and the ending location; retrieving, by the processor via the network, spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to the requesting user, each real world entity and the at least one route using a global index of data available to the network; deriving, by the processor, habits of the requesting user from sensor data and interaction data accumulated over time for the requesting user; imputing, by the processor, preferences to the requesting user based on the derived habits; modifying, by the processor, a first value of a spatial distance of the at least one route between the starting and the ending locations to a second value disparate from the first value based on the temporal, topical, and social data relating to the requesting user, each real world entity and the at least one route, wherein the second value of the spatial distance is determined by further weighing the temporal data with the preferences imputed to the requesting user; calculating, by the processor, a personalized distance between the starting location and the ending location from the modified spatial distance; and transmitting, by the processor via the network, instructions for displaying on a display medium, for each of the at least one route, a representation of the personalized distance calculated for the at least one route. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 27)

9. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a computer readable storage medium, the processor executing and the medium storing; a request receiving module that receives requests for the calculation of personalized distances between real-world entities, wherein each of the requests comprises a requesting user and a plurality of real-world entities comprising at least a starting location and an ending location; a route determination module that maps at least one route between respective starting locations and ending locations for each request received by the request receiving module; a route data retrieval module that retrieves spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to the requesting user, each real world entity and the at least one route using a global index of data available to the network, the route data retrieval module derives habits of the requesting user from sensor data and interaction data accumulated over time for the requesting user and imputes preferences to the requesting user based on the derived habits; a personalized distance calculation module that uses the data retrieved by the route data retrieval module to calculate a first value for a personalized distance for a route mapped by the route determination module, the personalized distance is calculated from a spatial distance of the at least one route between the starting and the ending locations and the personalized distance is modified from the first value to a second value disparate from the first value by the temporal, topical, and the social data, such that the second value of the spatial distance is determined by further weighing the temporal data with the preferences imputed to the requesting user; and a personalized distance display module that provides instructions for display of a representation of the personalized distance calculated by the personalized distance calculation module on a display medium. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to carry out a method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, over a network, a request for the determination of a personalized distance, wherein the request comprises an identification of a requesting user, and a plurality of real world entities comprising at least a starting location and an ending location; determining, via the network, at least one route between the starting location and the ending location; retrieving spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to the requesting user and each real world entity and the at least one route using a global index of data available to the network; deriving habits of the requesting user from sensor data and interaction data accumulated over time for the requesting user; imputing preferences to the requesting user based on the derived habits; modifying a first value of a spatial distance of the at least one route between the starting and the ending locations to a second value disparate from the first value based on the temporal, topical, and social data relating to the requesting user, each real world entity and the at least one route such that the second value of the spatial distance is determined by further weighing the temporal data with the preferences imputed to the requesting user; calculating a personalized distance between the starting location and the ending location from the modified spatial distance; and generating instructions for displaying, on a display medium, for each of the at least one route, a representation the personalized distance calculated for the route. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
