Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a service type of a first application for interacting with a first pairing device; determining a second application for interacting with a second pairing device in which the second application is also of the service type; selecting the second application with the second application meeting or exceeding a selection condition, otherwise the first application is selected; and generating an execution result for executing the second application for displaying on the first pairing device.

Claims

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

determining a service type of a first application for interacting with a first pairing device;

determining a second application for interacting with a second pairing device;

comparing the first application and the second application for determining the second application is also of the service type;

selecting the second application over the first application with the second application meeting or exceeding a selection condition, otherwise the first application is selected; and

generating an execution result based on executing the second application with a control unit for displaying the execution result on the first pairing device but prohibiting the execution result from being displayed on the second pairing device after the first pairing device accesses the execution result even though the second application was executed on the second pairing device.

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

determining the first application for interacting with the first pairing device; and

setting the selection condition for determining whether to select the second application over the first application.

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

determining the service type of the first application as an unavailable application on the second pairing device; and

selecting the first application with the first application meeting or exceeding the selection condition for offering the service type on the second pairing device.

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

determining the service type of the second application as an unavailable application on the first pairing device; and

selecting the second application with the second application meeting or exceeding the selection condition for offering the service type on the first pairing device.

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

determining the selection condition of a service type for the first pairing device and the second pairing device; and

selecting the first application or the second application based on the first application or the second application meeting or exceeding the selection condition.

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

setting a pairing criteria for pairing the first pairing device and the second pairing device based on meeting or exceeding the pairing criteria; and

executing the first application or the second application based on the first application or the second application meeting or exceeding the selection condition.

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

executing the first application and the second application concurrently; and

generating the execution results for the first application and the second application for complementing a shortcoming of each of the execution results for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.

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

determining a service type of a first application for interacting with a first pairing device;

determining a second application for interacting with a second pairing device;

comparing the first application and the second application for determining the second application is also of the service type;

setting a selection condition for determining whether to select the second application over the first application;

selecting the second application over the first application with the second application meeting or exceeding the selection condition, otherwise the first application is selected; and

generating an execution result based on executing the second application with a control unit for displaying the execution result on the first pairing device but prohibiting the execution result from being displayed on the second pairing device after the first pairing device accesses the execution result even though the second application was executed on the second pairing device.

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

determining the service type of the second application for interacting with the second pairing device;

determining the first application for interacting with the first pairing device in which the first application is also of the service type of the second application;

setting the selection condition for determining whether to select the first application over the second application;

selecting the first application with the first application meeting or exceeding the selection condition, otherwise the second application is selected; and

generating the execution result for executing the first application for displaying on the second pairing device.

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

receiving a device selection; and

selecting the first application or the second application based on the device selection overriding the selection condition for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.

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

receiving a service selection; and

selecting the first application or the second application based on the service selection overriding the selection condition for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.

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

setting a default condition for selecting the first application or the second application;

receiving the selection condition; and

updating the default condition based on the selection condition received for selecting the first application or the second application.

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

receiving a command input for interacting with the first pairing device; and

controlling the second pairing device based on the command input for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.

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

receiving a command input for interacting with the second pairing device; and

controlling the first pairing device based on the command input for displaying on the first pairing device, the second pairing device, or a combination thereof.

15. A navigation system comprising:

a memory unit comprising software instructions;

a control unit for executing the software instructions, the software instructions, when executed by the control unit, to;

determine a service type of a first application for interacting with a first pairing device,

determine a second application for interacting with a second pairing device,

compare the first application and the second application to determine the second application is also of the service type,

select the second application over the first application with the second application meeting or exceeding a selection condition, otherwise the first application is selected,

generate an execution result based on executing the second application, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, to send the execution result for displaying the execution result on the first pairing device but prohibiting the execution result from being displayed on the second pairing device after the first pairing device accesses the execution result even though the second application was executed on the second pairing device.

16. The system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the control unit is for executing the software instructions to:
