Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a notification associated with a remote location; detecting a user location for locating a device; detecting the user location at the remote location based on the notification; receiving an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location; and generating an alert based on the operation for displaying on the device.

Claims

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

identifying a remote location for representing a location providing a product or a service;

detecting a user location for locating a device;

determining a tracking result associated with an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location; and

recording an operation time for the operation;

recording a departure time when the user location is not at the remote location;

generating an alert, with a control unit, configured to be depicted when the user location is different from the remote location at a time when the operation is performed wherein the operation is for representing a purchase of the product or the service and detecting the operation time to be after the departure time.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising verifying the user location before the alert is sent.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising verifying the user location with a historical event.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising stopping the operation if the alert is needed.

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

communicating a notification associated with a remote location for representing a product or a service available at the remote location;

detecting a user location for locating a device;

receiving an acknowledgement after the notification is presented;

determining a tracking result including the user location;

determining the user location associated with the remote location at a time of an operation for representing a purchase of the product or the service;

confirming, with a control unit, the notification causing the operation based on the acknowledgement and the user location compared to the remote location at a time when the operation is performed, further in comparison to an initial time of the notification, and

recording a departure time when the user location is at a predetermined distance from the remote location.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 further comprising verifying a permissible operation after the operation is performed.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 further comprising detecting an authorized agent location at the remote location based on the notification.

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

recording an operation time for the operation;

recording the departure time when the user location is not at the remote location; and

wherein confirming includes;

comparing a processing duration for the operation since the departure time; and

detecting the operation time to be after the processing duration.

9. A navigation system comprising:

a first communication unit for receiving a notification associated with a remote location for representing a product or a service available at the remote location;

a first control unit, coupled to the first communication unit, for;

detecting a user location for locating a device;

determining a tracking result associated with an operation at the remote location when the user location is different from the remote location;

generating an alert configured to be depicted when the user location is different from the remote location at a time when the operation is performed wherein the operation is for representing a purchase of the product or the service; and

recording a departure time when the user location is at a predetermined distance from the remote location.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the first control unit is for verifying the user location before the alert is sent.

11. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the first control unit is for verifying the user location with a historical event.

12. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the first control unit is for stopping the operation if the alert is needed.

13. The system as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

a second storage unit, coupled to the first communication unit, for recording an operation time for the operation;

a second communication unit, coupled to the second storage unit, for recording the departure time when the user location is not at the remote location; and

a second control unit, coupled to the second communication unit, for detecting the operation time to be after the departure time.

14. The system as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

a user interface coupled to the first control unit, for receiving an acknowledgement after the notification is presented; and

wherein;

the first control unit is for generating the alert based on the acknowledgement and the operation for displaying on the device.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the first control unit is for verifying a permissible operation after the operation is performed.

16. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the location unit is for detecting an authorized agent location at the remote location based on the notification.

17. The system as claimed in claim 14 further comprising:

a second storage unit, coupled to the first communication unit, for recording an operation time for the operation;

a second communication unit, coupled to the second storage unit, for recording the departure time when the user location is not at the remote location;

a second control unit, coupled to the second communication unit, for comparing a processing duration for the operation since the departure time; and

wherein;

the first control unit is for detecting the operation time to be after the processing duration.
