| 20090254268 | COMPUTING NAVIGATION DEVICE WITH ENHANCED ROUTE DIRECTIONS VIEW - Systems, methods and a graphical user interface are provided for enhancing a computing navigation device route directions view. A system is disclosed including a computing navigation device configured to identify a route for travel. The route includes one or more geographic locations along the route. The computing navigation device is further configured to receive media from a media service via a computer network, wherein each media includes associated geographic information indicating that the media relates to the one or more geographic locations. The computing navigation device is further configured to display the media in a route directions view of a graphical user interface. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090259686 | CAPTURING AND COMBINING MEDIA DATA AND GEODATA IN A COMPOSITE FILE - Systems and methods are provided for capturing and combining media data and geodata into a composite file. The system may include a media data capture module configured to capture media data at a plurality of geographic locations along a path in a geographic area, and to store the media data in a media data stream. The system may further include a geodata capture module configured to capture geodata indicating the geographic locations along the path at which the media data was captured. The system may also include a multiplexing module for interleaving the media data and the geodata into a composite file. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090276711 | SCENE-GRANULAR GEOGRAPHICAL-BASED VIDEO FOOTAGE VISUALIZATONS - Systems, methods, and computing devices are provided for viewing scene-granular video based on geographical location. The computing device may include a memory configured to store video and geographical coordinates at which the video was captured. The computing device may further include, a processor that is configured to execute a video path viewing program, and a display that is configured to display a graphical user interface of the video path viewing program. The graphical user interface may be configured to display a path graphic spatially representing the geographical coordinates along which the video was captured, a location selector that is selectively movable along the path graphic to a selected path location, and a video icon that is configured to display a preview of a portion of the video corresponding to the selected path location. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090326753 | TRAINING A DRIVER OF A VEHICLE TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY - A system for training a driver to achieve improved fuel economy monitors the driving parameters of a vehicle, analyzes the monitored driving parameters, calculates suggested driving behavior adjustments, and communicates the driving behavior adjustments to the driver as the driver is driving. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100076677 | LOCATION BASED SERVICES WITH COMBINATORIAL DATA SOURCES - A location based service using combinatorial data sources for routing and time information is disclosed. One embodiment comprises using a user location, a first data set from a first data source containing information related to a first waypoint, and a second data set from a second data source containing information related to a second waypoint to determine a tour of the first waypoint and the second waypoint. In this way, the embodiment may send the tour of the first waypoint and the second waypoint to a navigation device. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100138294 | PROVISION OF LOCATION-BASED ADVERTISING - The provision of location-based advertising services is disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a location-based advertising server. The method comprises receiving from each of a plurality of advertising publishers an item of advertising content associated with a bounded area defined in a geographic region, and also receiving from each advertising publisher a bid for payment for distributing the advertising publisher's item of advertising content to devices. The method then comprises receiving from a device a request for advertising content associated with the bounded area, and sending an item of advertising content associated with a highest bid to the device. | 06-03-2010 |
