Method and system for providing speed limit alerts
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing speed limit data in a vehicle, the method executed by one or more processors programmed to perform the method, the method comprising:
- at a plurality of instances in time during a vehicle trip of a user;
determining, by one or more processors, a current location of the user when the user is travelling in a vehicle;
obtaining, at the one or more processors, a posted speed limit for the vehicle based on the current location of the user; and
determining, by the one or more processors, a speed of the vehicle; and
providing, by the one or more processors, a map display to the user including map data corresponding to a route in which the user previously travelled during the vehicle trip, wherein the map display includes an indication of a proportion of a duration or distance of the route in which the user travelled above the posted speed limit.

Abstract
A method and system may provide speed limit data to users driving in vehicles. A user'"'"'s client device such as a smart-phone, smart watch, or tablet computer, may provide visual, audible, and/or haptic alerts to the user when the user exceeds a posted speed limit by more than a threshold amount. For example, when the user exceeds the posted speed limit by more than the threshold amount, the user'"'"'s smart-phone may play a beeping sound and may announce the posted speed limit to the user. A map of a geographic area including the user'"'"'s travelled route may also be displayed, with annotated areas along the route where the user exceeded the posted speed limit. The map may also include an indication of a proportion of a duration or distance of the route in which the user travelled above the posted speed limit.

11. A client device for providing speed limit data in a vehicle, the client device comprising:
-
one or more processors; a communication network; a user interface; a non-transitory computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors, the communication network, and the user interface, and storing thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the client device to; at a plurality of instances in time during a vehicle trip of a user; determine a current location of the user when the user is travelling in a vehicle; obtain a posted speed limit for the vehicle based on the current location of the user; and determine a speed of the vehicle; and provide a map display to the user including map data corresponding to a route in which the user previously travelled during the vehicle trip, wherein the map display includes an indication of a proportion of a duration or distance of the route in which the user travelled above the posted speed limit. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
