Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: generating a navigation route; generating an initial recommendation related to a search keyword for a point of interest upcoming along the navigation route; calculating an acquisition cost for the initial recommendation; and generating a message with the acquisition cost for the initial recommendation related to the point of interest and for displaying on a device.

Claims

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

generating a navigation route;

generating an initial recommendation related to a search keyword for a point of interest upcoming along the navigation route;

calculating, with a control unit, an acquisition cost for the initial recommendation; and

generating a message with the acquisition cost for the initial recommendation related to the point of interest and for displaying on a device.

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

extracting a search acquisition cost from the search keyword; and

wherein calculating the acquisition cost includes;

calculating the acquisition cost less than the search acquisition cost.

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

extracting a search available time from the search keyword;

reading a recommendation available time for the initial recommendation; and

wherein calculating the acquisition cost includes;

calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation available time greater than the search available time.

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

extracting a search location from the search keyword;

reading a recommendation location for the initial recommendation; and

wherein calculating the acquisition cost includes;

calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation location farther than the search location.

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

extracting a search entry from the search keyword; and

generating a different recommendation with the search entry not located at the point of interest.

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

recording historical data;

generating a navigation route;

generating an initial recommendation related to a search keyword for a point of interest upcoming along the navigation route;

calculating, with a control unit, an acquisition cost for the initial recommendation based on the historical data; and

generating a message for the initial recommendation to the point of interest with the acquisition cost for displaying on a device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

extracting a search acquisition cost from the search keyword; and

wherein calculating the acquisition cost includes;

calculating the acquisition cost greater than the search acquisition cost.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

extracting a search available time from the search keyword;

reading a recommendation available time for the initial recommendation; and

wherein calculating the acquisition cost includes;

calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation available time less than the search available time.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

extracting a search location from the search keyword;

reading a recommendation location for the initial recommendation; and

wherein calculating the acquisition cost includes;

calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation location closer than the search location.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

extracting a search entry from the search keyword; and

generating a different recommendation with the search entry not located at the point of interest, the different recommendation similar to the search entry.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a storage unit implementing;

a plan module for generating a navigation route;

an assess recommendation module, coupled to the plan module, for generating an initial recommendation related to a search keyword for a point of interest upcoming along the navigation route;

a control unit implementing;

an adjust cost module, coupled to the assess recommendation module, for calculating an acquisition cost for the initial recommendation; and

a generate message module, coupled to the adjust cost module, for generating a message with the acquisition cost for the initial recommendation related to the point of interest and for displaying on a device.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search acquisition cost from the search keyword; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost less than the search acquisition cost.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search available time from the search keyword;

a read time module, coupled to the receive keyword module, for reading a recommendation available time for the initial recommendation; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation available time greater than the search available time.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search location from the search keyword;

a read position module, coupled to the receive keyword module, for reading a recommendation location for the initial recommendation; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation location farther than the search location.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search entry from the search keyword; and

a substitute recommendation module, coupled to the receive keyword module, for generating a different recommendation with the search entry not located at the point of interest.

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

a collect data module, coupled to the plan module, for recording historical data; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost for the initial recommendation based on the historical data.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search acquisition cost from the search keyword; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost greater than the search acquisition cost.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search available time from the search keyword;

a read time module, coupled to the receive keyword module, for reading a recommendation available time for the initial recommendation; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation available time less than the search available time.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search location from the search keyword;

a read position module, coupled to the receive keyword module, for reading a recommendation location for the initial recommendation; and

wherein;

the adjust cost module is for calculating the acquisition cost with the recommendation location closer than the search location.

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

a receive keyword module, coupled to the plan module, for extracting a search entry from the search keyword; and

a substitute recommendation module, coupled to the receive keyword module, for generating a different recommendation with the search entry not located at the point of interest, the different recommendation similar to the search entry.
