System and method for adapting the routing information provided by a mapping or routing device
First Claim
1. A mapping and routing device, comprising:
- at least one computer processor;
a graphical and textual display device;
a user input device configured to receive user preferences for routing and routing information from at least one user prior to and during transit along a route;
an audio output component configured to output audible routing information; and
at least one computer memory configured to store;
a route calculation logic;
an information filtering application; and
user preferences for routing and routing information from at least one user;
wherein the route calculation logic and information filtering application are transmitted from the at least one computer memory and implemented on the at least one computer processor and wherein the calculation logic is configured to calculate at least one route and routing information from an origin to a destination; and
wherein the information filtering application is configured to select specific routing information based on;
the at least one user preferences stored in memory;
user preferences for routing and routing information input received from the user input device during transit along the calculated at least one route; and
external criteria; and
to present the specific routing information on at least one of the display device and the audio output component.

Abstract
A system and method for adapting the routing information provided by a mapping or routing device. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a data collection component (e.g., one or more GPS, accelerometer, or other means of determining location and/or movement), and a route calculation logic that can use information about a first geographical location (origin), and a second geographical location (destination), to calculate a routing information, such as driving directions that a user can follow to drive from the origin to the destination. An information filtering application adapts the amount of information that will be presented to the user at a particular location, moment in time, or based on other criteria. In accordance with an embodiment, the information filtering application can, in some instances, be provided as a third-party application.
