System and method for automatically receiving geo-relevant information in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for automatically presenting, in a vehicle, path-relevant information to a vehicle operator, the method comprising the acts of:
- recording, by an HTML5 web application executing on an onboard vehicle computer in a local web storage of the HTML5 web application, vehicle route data during vehicle travel;
generating, by the HTML5 web application executing on the onboard vehicle computer, one or more route prediction models using the vehicle route data;
predicting, by the HTML5 web application executing on the onboard vehicle computer, a vehicle route based on the one or more route prediction models;
transmitting, by the HTML5 web application executing on the onboard vehicle computer, coordinate data corresponding to the predicted vehicle route to a backend server over a wireless network connection;
wherein transmitting the coordinate data comprises transmitting, by the HTML5 web application, coordinate data corresponding to a portion of the predicted vehicle route to the backend server, wherein the portion corresponds to a non-destination;
receiving, by the HTML5 web application executing on the onboard vehicle computer and in response to the transmitted coordinate data, path-relevant information from the backend server over the wireless network connection, wherein the path-relevant information includes information corresponding to at least one non-destination location along the predicted vehicle route;
wherein receiving the path-relevant information comprises receiving, by the HTML5 web application and in response to the transmitted portion of the predicted vehicle route, path-relevant information corresponding to only the transmitted portion of the predicted vehicle route; and
presenting at least a portion of the path-relevant information to the vehicle operator.

Abstract
Path-relevant information is provided by a backend server system to a vehicle without an input or request from the vehicle operator. Program applications, including a web browser application, records vehicle route data in a local memory during vehicle travel. Such vehicle route data may include current GPS coordinates, time of day, day of week, etc. The recorded vehicle route data may then be used to locally generate one or more route prediction models. A predicted vehicle route may be generated from the route prediction models. Once a vehicle route has been predicted, coordinate data corresponding to the predicted route may be transmitted to a backend server. Thereafter, path-relevant information, based on the transmitted coordinate data, may then be received from the backend server, and without the vehicle operator having to provide any input or request.
