Abstract

Transport communication comprising, associating a wireless device and a user, associating a transport and the wireless device, determining a characteristic of the user based on at least one of a user search history and a user preference selection, determining a probable route the transport based on at least one of a route history and an input destination and ranking at least one suggestion of a route deviation based at least one of the determined probable route and determined characteristic.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

associating, by a processor, at least one wireless device and at least one user;

requesting, by the processor, audio information from at least one remote source via the at least one wireless device;

encoding the audio information into an audio identifier using frequency shift keying;

receiving, by the processor, the audio identifier and the audio information from the remote source via the at least one wireless device;

broadcasting the audio identifier to the at least one wireless device, using the audio information;

associating, by the processor, the at least one wireless device and at least one transport;

authenticating the association between the at least one wireless device and the at least one transport, based on the audio information encoded within the audio identifier;

determining at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one user search previously performed on the at least one wireless device and at least one user preference;

determining a current location of the at least one wireless device;

determining at least one probable route of the at least one transport based on at least one of at least one route history and at least one input destination from the current location;

providing route deviation suggestions based upon the at least one characteristic of the at least one user, the at least one user preference, the current location, the at least one route history and the at least one input destination;

rating the route deviation suggestions from the at least one probable route based on the at least one characteristic and the at least one user preference; and

receiving the rated route deviation suggestions on the at least one wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising analyzing the at least one user search previously performed to determine at least one of at least one user hobby, at least one user sport, at least one user group and an at least one user interest.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising rating the route deviation suggestions based at least on the at least one characteristic and the at least one probable route.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the rating route deviation suggestions is based upon at least one rating history of previous reviewers.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising recording the at least one user search previously performed.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining at least one user location.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the at least one input destination at the at least one wireless device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining at least one routing schedule based on at least one of the at least one route history and the at least one input destination.

9. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to associate, by the processor, at least one wireless device and at least one user;

request, by the processor, audio information from at least one remote source via the at least one wireless device;

encode the audio information into an audio identifier using frequency shift keying;

receive, by the processor, the audio identifier and the audio information from the remote source via the at least one wireless device;

broadcast the audio identifier to the at least one wireless device, using the audio information;

associate, by the processor, the at least one wireless device and at least one transport;

authenticate the association between the at least one wireless device and the at least one transport, based on the audio information encoded within the audio identifier;

determine at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one of at least one user search previously performed on the at least one wireless device and at least one user preference;

determine a current location of the at least one wireless device;

determine at least one probable route of the at least one transport based on at least one of at least one route history and at least one input destination from the current location;

provide route deviation suggestions based upon the at least one characteristic of the at least one user, the at least one user preference, the current location, the at least one route history and the at least one input destination;

rate the route deviation suggestions from the at least one probable route based at least on the at least one characteristic and on the at least one user preference; and

send the rated route deviation suggestions to the at least one wireless device.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further rates the route deviation suggestions based at least on the at least one characteristic and at least one probable route.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further records the at least one user search previously performed by the at least one wireless device;

and analyzes the at least one user search previously performed by the at least one wireless device to determine at least one of at least one user hobby, at least one user sport, at least one user group and an at least one user interest.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further determines a route schedule based on at least one of the at least one route history and the at least one input destination.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed causes a processor to perform:

associating, by the processor, at least one wireless device and at least one user;

requesting, by the processor, audio information from at least one remote source via the at least one wireless device;

encoding the audio information into an audio identifier using frequency shift keying;

receiving, by the processor, the audio identifier and the audio information from the remote source via the at least one wireless device;

broadcasting the audio identifier to the at least one wireless device, using the audio information;

associating, by the processor, the at least one wireless device and at least one transport;

authenticating the association between the at least one wireless device and the at least one transport, based on the audio information encoded within the audio identifier;

determining at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one of at least one user search previously performed on the at least one wireless device and at least one user preference;

determining a current location of the at least one wireless device;

determining at least one probable route of the at least one transport based on at least one of at least one route history and at least one input destination from the current location;

providing route deviation suggestions based upon the at least one characteristic of the at least one user, the at least one user preference, the current location, the at least one route history and the at least one input destination;

rating the route deviation suggestions from the at least one probable route based on the at least one characteristic and on the at least one user preference; and

sending the rated route deviation suggestions to the at least one wireless device.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13, further comprising rating the route deviation suggestions based at least on the at least one characteristic and at least one probable route.

15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the rating of the route deviation suggestions is based upon a rating history of previous reviewers.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13, further comprising determining at least one user location.
