Patent Images
1. A system used by a user, comprising:
- a.) an information acquisition device, executes at least a portion of a computer readable code stored on a computer readable medium, acquires at least one indicator of user intent information, acquires at least one point of interest information;
b.) an initial area of interest, specified by the user or around a start position;
c.) a dynamic area of interest, centered about a dynamic route position, along the user'"'"'s intended or projected route, wherein inside the dynamic area of interest the at least one point of interest information is collected by the information acquisition device, and;
d.) a processor, adapted to execute the computer readable code, processing the at least one point of interest information available inside the initial area of interest, and furthermore inside the dynamic area of interest, the acquired at least one indicator of user intent information, outputs at least one suggestion of accessible point of interest information.

Abstract
A novel predictive travel planning system is disclosed for gathering a user intention, interactively interacting with the user to create a travel plan, supporting the user'"'"'s execution of the trip on a real-time basis during travel, allowing the user to share his/her experiences with others and learning from the user'"'"'s experiences. The system can use a variety of computing devices to gather information before and during travel, such as for example a desktop computer, a tablet computer, or a smart phone.
