Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: generating a time fence with a control unit based on a provider location relative to a travel waypoint; generating a notification based on the time fence meeting or below a tolerable time threshold; and communicating the notification based on a delivery type for providing on a device.

Claims

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

generating a time fence with a control unit based on a provider location relative to a travel waypoint;

generating a notification based on the time fence meeting or below a tolerable time threshold; and

communicating the notification based on a delivery type and a recipient priority for controlling the notification delivered to a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining the tolerable time threshold based on a travel context for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining the tolerable time threshold based on a provider profile, a recipient profile, or a combination thereof for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the notification includes generating the notification based on a difference level between the time fence and the tolerable time threshold for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the notification includes generating the notification based on the recipient priority for changing the delivery type.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the time fence includes generating the time fence based on a group size for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the time fence includes generating a plurality of the time fence based on each instances of a difference level between the time fence and the tolerable time threshold.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising changing the delivery type of the notification based on a difference level between the time fence and the tolerable time threshold.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein communicating the notification includes communicating the notification based on a group size for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

10. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit for;

generating a time fence based on a provider location relative to a travel waypoint,

generating a notification based on the time fence meeting or below a tolerable time threshold, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, for communicating the notification based on a delivery type and a recipient priority for controlling the notification delivered to a device.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is for determining the tolerable time threshold based on a travel context for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is for determining the tolerable time threshold based on a provider profile, a recipient profile, or a combination thereof for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

13. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is for generating the notification based on a difference level between the time fence and the tolerable time threshold for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

14. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is for generating the notification based on the recipient priority for changing the delivery type.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution, the instructions comprising:

generating a time fence based on a provider location relative to a travel waypoint;

generating a notification based on the time fence meeting or below a tolerable time threshold; and

communicating the notification based on a delivery type and a recipient priority for controlling the notification delivered to a device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising determining the tolerable time threshold based on a travel context for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising determining the tolerable time threshold based on a provider profile, a recipient profile, or a combination thereof for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein generating the notification includes generating the notification based on a difference level between the time fence and the tolerable time threshold for controlling the notification delivered to a recipient.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein generating the notification includes generating the notification based on the recipient priority for changing the delivery type.
