Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a navigation component based on comparing a traversal content to a stored content for identifying an object type; determining a content discrepancy based on the navigation component present in the traversal content but unidentified in the stored content; and generating a content filler with a control unit based on the content discrepancy for presenting on a device the navigation component missing in map information.

Claims

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

determining a navigation component based on comparing a traversal content to a stored content for identifying an object type;

determining a content discrepancy based on the navigation component present in the traversal content but unidentified in the stored content;

generating a content filler with a control unit based on the content discrepancy for identifying the navigation component representing a road type different from the road type included in map information;

updating the map information by replacing the road type originally in the map information with the content filler representing a digitized instance of the road type for including in the map information to present on a device;

updating a travel route to include the content filler representing the road type for connecting a disjointed instance of a road within an un-updated instance of the map information to reach a destination; and

determining a traffic condition of the travel route based on a vehicle count meeting or exceeding a count threshold wherein the traffic condition representing no traffic when the vehicle count is below the count threshold, the traffic condition representing light traffic when the vehicle count meets the count threshold, and the traffic condition representing heavy traffic when the vehicle count exceeds the count threshold for presenting on the device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the content filler includes generating the content filler based on a travel direction for the road type currently traveled.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining a traffic condition based on the vehicle count meeting or exceeding the count threshold representing a minimum number of vehicles.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising validating the map information based on matching a point of interest on the map information to the point of interest identified on the traversal content.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining a popularity level based on a people count meeting or exceeding the count threshold.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising comparing the traversal content of a geographic location to the stored content of the same instance of the geographic location.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the navigation component based on an object image to identify the navigation component present in the traversal content.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining a user safety based on a vehicle type captured within the traversal content.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising determining a current location based on a traffic controller type captured within the traversal content.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising calculating a vehicle count based on a vehicle type identified within the traversal content.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit for;

determining a navigation component based on comparing a traversal content to a stored content for identifying an object type,

determining a content discrepancy based on the navigation component present in the traversal content but unidentified in the stored content,

generating a content filler based on the content discrepancy for identifying the navigation component representing a road type different from the road type included in map information,

updating the map information by replacing the road type originally in the map information with the content filler representing a digitized instance of the road type for including in the map information,

updating a travel route to include the content filler representing the road type for connecting a disjointed instance of a road within an un-updated instance of the map information to reach a destination,

determining a traffic condition of the travel route based on a vehicle count meeting or exceeding a count threshold wherein the traffic condition representing no traffic when the vehicle count is below the count threshold, the traffic condition representing light traffic when the vehicle count meets the count threshold, and the traffic condition representing heavy traffic when the vehicle count exceeds the count threshold, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, for communicating the map information, the travel information, the traffic condition, or a combination thereof for presenting on a device the navigation component missing in the map information.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for generating the content filler includes generating the content filler based on a travel direction for the road type currently traveled.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining a traffic condition based on the vehicle count meeting or exceeding the count threshold representing a minimum number of vehicles.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for validating the map information based on matching a point of interest on the map information to the point of interest identified on the traversal content.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for determining a popularity level based on a people count meeting or exceeding the count threshold.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution, the instructions comprising:

determining a navigation component based on comparing a traversal content to a stored content for identifying an object type;

determining a content discrepancy based on the navigation component present in the traversal content but unidentified in the stored content;

generating a content filler based on the content discrepancy for identifying the navigation component representing a road type different from the road type included in map information;

updating the map information by replacing the road type originally in the map information with the content filler representing a digitized instance of the road type for including in the map information to present on a device;

updating a travel route to include the content filler representing the road type for connecting a disjointed instance of a road within an un-updated instance of the map information to reach a destination; and

determining a traffic condition of the travel route based on a vehicle count meeting or exceeding a count threshold wherein the traffic condition representing no traffic when the vehicle count is below the count threshold, the traffic condition representing light traffic when the vehicle count meets the count threshold, and the traffic condition representing heavy traffic when the vehicle count exceeds the count threshold for presenting on the device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 wherein generating the content filler includes generating the content filler based on a travel direction for the road type currently traveled.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising determining a traffic condition based on the vehicle count meeting or exceeding the count threshold representing a minimum number of vehicles.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising validating the map information based on matching a point of interest on the map information to the point of interest identified on the traversal content.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising determining a popularity level based on a people count meeting or exceeding the count threshold.
