Systems And Methods For Providing Route Information Using A Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A method for providing driving route information, the method comprising:
- providing a route information application to a driver for installation on a mobile device;
collecting driver data at a remote server, the driver data transmitted by the mobile device through the route information application to the server;
the server comprising a processor and a memory that stores the driver data, wherein the server;
receives driving data associated with a plurality of drivers and routes, the driving data including context dependent route information;
compiles the received driving data with context dependent route information;
in response to a request from the route information application, analyzes the compiled driving data to determine a preferred route for the driver based on safety criteria; and
transmits the preferred route to the route information application for display to the driver using the mobile device.

Abstract
According to one aspect of the invention, a method for providing driving route information may include: providing a route information application to a driver for installation on a mobile device; and collecting driver data at a remote server. The driver data may be transmitted by the mobile device through the route information application to the server. The server may comprise a processor and a memory that stores the driver data. The server may receive driving data associated with a plurality of drivers and routes. The driving data may include context dependent route information. The server may compile the received driving data with context dependent route information. In response to a request from the route information application, the server may analyze the compiled driving data to determine a preferred route for the driver based on safety criteria. The server may transmit the preferred route to the route information application for display to the driver using the mobile device.
