First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining that at least one potential route for at least one user includes at least a portion without access restriction and at least one location with one or more access restrictions;
initiating at least one query to determine whether the at least one user has at least one access right to the at least one location; and
generating at least one request to acquire the at least one access right for the at least one user based on a result of the at least one query indicating that the at least one user does not have that at least one access right to that at least one location,wherein the at least one request is generated prior to a commencement of the at least one potential route that includes the at least a portion without access restriction and the at least one location with one or more access restrictions.

Abstract
An approach is provided for acquiring access rights for one or more restricted access areas. The approach involves determining that at least one potential route for at least one user includes at least one location with one or more access restrictions. The approach also involves initiating at least one query to determine whether the at least one user has at least one access right to the at least one location. The approach further involves generating at least one request to acquire the at least one access right for the at least one user based, at least in part, on one or more results of the at least one query prior to travel in the at least one location, a commencement of the at least one potential route, or a combination thereof.

6. A method comprising:
-
determining that at least one potential route for at least one user includes at least one location with one or more access restrictions; initiating at least one query to determine whether the at least one user has at least one access right to the at least one location; generating at least one request to acquire the at least one access right for the at least one user based, at least in part, on one or more results of the at least one query prior to travel in the at least one location, a commencement of the at least one potential route, or a combination thereof; and receiving a request from the one or more parties to share the at least one potential route, at least one place associated with the at least one potential route, or a combination thereof with the at least one user, wherein the initiating of the at least one query, the generating of the at least one request to acquire the at least one access right, a transmission of the at least one potential route or the at least one place to the at least one user, or a combination thereof is based, at least in part, on determining whether the one or more parties are authorized to share the at least one route, to grant the at least one access right, or a combination thereof.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine that at least one potential route for at least one user includes at least a portion without access restriction and at least one location with one or more access restrictions; initiate at least one query to determine whether the at least one user has at least one access right to the at least one location; and generate at least one request to acquire the at least one access right for the at least one user based a result of the at least one query indicating that the at least one user does not have that at least one access right to that at least one location, wherein the at least one request is generated prior to a commencement of the at least one potential route that includes the at least a portion without access restriction and the at least one location with one or more access restrictions. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 17)

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine that at least one potential route for at least one user includes at least one location with one or more access restrictions; initiate at least one query to determine whether the at least one user has at least one access right to the at least one location; generate at least one request to acquire the at least one access right for the at least one user based, at least in part, on one or more results of the at least one query prior to travel in the at least one location, a commencement of the at least one potential route, or a combination thereof; and receive a request from the one or more parties to share the at least one potential route, at least one place associated with the at least one potential route, or a combination thereof with the at least one user, wherein the initiating of the at least one query, the generating of the at least one request to acquire the at least one access right, a transmission of the at least one potential route or the at least one place to the at least one user, or a combination thereof is based, at least in part, on determining whether the one or more parties are authorized to share the at least one route, to grant the at least one access right, or a combination thereof.
