Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for dynamic navigation instructions. In one implementation a navigation instruction can be received in relation to a location, the navigation instruction can be processed with respect to one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to the location, based on a determination that the navigation instruction deviates from the one or more prior navigation operations, a notification can be generated; and the notification can be provided in relation to the location.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a navigation instruction in relation to a location;

processing, by a processing device, the navigation instruction with respect to one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to the location, the one or more prior navigation operations comprising a driving maneuver previously performed by a first user at the location;

based on a determination that the navigation instruction deviates from the one or more prior navigation operations, generating, by the processing device, a notification; and

providing, via one or more interfaces, the notification in relation to the location.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising processing the one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to the location to determine a predominance of a particular navigation operation with respect to the location.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein processing the navigation instruction with respect to one or more prior navigation operations comprises processing the navigation instruction with respect to the particular navigation operation.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein providing the notification comprises providing the notification in relation to the location based on the predominance.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more prior navigation operations comprise one or more navigation operations associated with a user with respect to which the notification is provided.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more prior navigation operations comprises a navigation operation associated with the first user and wherein the notification is provided with respect to a second user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the navigation instruction comprises a navigation instruction provided with respect to travel in a first direction and wherein the one or more prior navigation operations comprise a navigation operation performed with respect to travel in the first direction.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising processing the one or more navigation operations performed with respect to travel in the first direction to determine a predominance of a particular navigation operation with respect to travel in the first direction with respect to the location.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein processing the navigation instruction with respect to one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to travel in the first direction comprises processing the navigation instruction with respect to the particular navigation operation.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein providing the notification comprises providing the notification in relation to the location based on the predominance.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification comprises at least one of:

a notification not to perform, with respect to the location, an operation in accordance with the one or more prior navigation operations, or

a notification to perform the navigation instruction with respect to the location.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more interfaces comprise at least one of:

a display interface, an audio interface, an illumination interface, or a haptic interface.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the notification via one or more interfaces comprises:

determining a degree to which the navigation instruction is unlikely to be complied with; and

selecting, based on the degree to which the navigation instruction is unlikely to be complied with, one interface from a plurality of interfaces at which to provide the notification.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the notification comprises providing the notification in a manner that is more prominent than another notification provided with respect to the one or more prior navigation operations.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the notification comprises:

determining a degree to which the navigation instruction is unlikely to be complied with; and

providing, based on the degree to which the navigation instruction is unlikely to be complied with, the notification in a manner that is more prominent than another notification provided with respect to the one or more prior navigation operations.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the notification comprises providing the notification in a manner that is at least one of:

louder,

faster,

brighter,

stronger,

longer,

more redundant,

more dynamic,

bolder, or

larger,

than one or more notifications provided with respect to the one or more prior navigation operations.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising precluding the providing of a notification that corresponds to the one or more prior navigation operations.

18. The method of claim 2, wherein providing the notification comprises precluding a providing of the notification in relation to the location based on the predominance.

21. The system of claim 18, wherein the memory further stores instructions for causing the system to perform operations comprising processing the one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to the location to determine a predominance of a particular navigation operation with respect to the location;

wherein providing the notification comprises providing the notification in relation to the location based on the predominance.

19. A system comprising:

a processing device; and

a memory, operatively coupled to the processing device and storing instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the system to perform operations comprising;

receiving a navigation instruction in relation to a location;

processing the navigation instruction with respect to one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to the location, the one or more prior navigation operations comprising a navigation maneuver previously performed by a user at the location;

based on a determination that the navigation instruction deviates from the one or more prior navigation operations, generating a notification; and

providing, via one or more interfaces, the notification in relation to the location.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving a navigation instruction in relation to a location;

processing the navigation instruction with respect to one or more prior navigation operations performed with respect to the location, the one or more prior navigation operations comprising a navigation maneuver previously performed by a user at the location;

based on a determination that the navigation instruction deviates from the one or more prior navigation operations, generating a notification; and

providing, via one or more interfaces, the notification in relation to the location.
