TMOn the other hand, the user can determine fully automatically to carry out all and upgrade, and perhaps uses user data, system default data or both combinations of in advance programming, like this, via social networks client computer 340, provide fully control any or that all social networks upgrade.
As what discuss in front, social networks client computer 340 is processed postposition to upgrade and is sent communication interface 350 to.As shown in Figure 3, communication interface 350 can be in the outside of head unit.But in certain embodiments, it can be integrated in the head unit 310 whole or in part.Can finally provide with the known in the art any radio communication device that is connected of the Internet and all can be used as communication interface 350.Such communicator can comprise: via smart mobile phone, notebook computer, smartbook, car phone and the similar devices of coupling, WiFi, WiMAX, CDMA, GSM, OFDM, LTE, and similar device.The embodiment of communicator should be guaranteed sporadic connection the between the social networks one or more appointment or target on social networks client computer 340 and the Internet 360 at least.
Although the specific execution mode of describing in this application is to adopt the form of location aware being upgraded the custom system that is published to one or more social networking website, but should be appreciated that such system can be extended to easily and comprise SMS message, voice mail or the Email that uses text, audio frequency and/or video to send.The scope of this disclosure intention comprises such expansion, and other may only require for the access that data are provided to the Internet, and institute's data that provide are location aware data described here in this case.
Fig. 4 shows an example of the automatic renewal flow chart 400 of location aware social networks.Automatically upgrading provides the message that is automatically sent, and these message are in the received and issue such as the receiving system place of social networks.Position renewal with positional information can be provided as automatic renewal.Like this, as user on the way the time, customer position information can be automatically sent to the receiving system such as social networks.
In step 410, this flow process is obtained user data, and these data can be obtained with the interface module 240 with user interface 390 functions.User data can comprise actually whether automatically upgrading (for example, the position is upgraded), and user's preferred (will be discussed further below) of extra in advance programming.In step 420, after obtaining user data, can carry out whether user data has been carried out the inspection that automatic renewal activates by the automatic renewal designator that checks user program.Upgrade for the position, can check that whether having activated the position upgrades designator.If the automatically updating function un-activation, then this automatically more new technological process will advance to step 430 and stop.Yet if automatically updating function is activated, flow process advances to step 440.
In step 440, retrieve position data (and other possible data).For example, GPS 320 (for example can receive gps signal, via interface module 240 and communication module 230), its can when the mobile subscriber moves by constantly or be updated periodically, and this signal is translated into the message of the processor 210 that can be used for navigation engine 330.The gps signal of translating can represent other geographical certain indicators of longitude and latitude or some.In specific execution mode, replace the gps signal of translating, the user can via the function that is embedded into the user interface 390 in GPS 320 and/or the head unit 310, manually input longitude and latitude.Then GPS 320 is sent to navigation engine 330 with this information.
In step 440, can retrieve other data except position data.For example, social networks client computer 340 can use communication interface 350 360 to set up and being connected of one or more social networks in the Internet.This connection can be in issue and the part of communicating by letter of state reproducting periods, perhaps its can with issue that to communicate by letter be that separate and completely different.In case social networks client computer 340 is communicated by letter with social networks via communication interface 350, then it can obtain friend's data from social networks, comprises friend's position data.Friend's data can be the usually available arbitrary datas about their friend on specific or any social networks of mobile subscriber.Then, social networks client computer 340 can be processed the content and form of friend's data.Then handled friend's data are provided for navigation engine 330.Then, navigation engine 330 can be attached to treated friend's data in the position data.For example, navigation engine 330 can associate friend's position data with the positional information relevant with the mobile subscriber.In specific execution mode, when carrying out normal navigation system function (not shown), navigation engine 330 can use treated friend's data, comprises friend's position data.For example, if friend's data comprise the friend's position data such as friend's near position or address, then navigation engine 330 can insert friend's icon (the expression friend is with respect to this mobile subscriber's position) on the navigation map display (not shown), has friend nearby to mobile subscriber's indication.
After obtaining position (or other) data, carry out to check in step 450, see whether automatic update condition satisfies.If condition satisfies, then automatically upgrade issue in step 460, check in step 470 subsequently, see and whether will carry out another automatic renewal perhaps whether expect at least part ofly to carry out another automatic renewal based on user data.Information about one or more friend or POI position can provide (for example, the position is upgraded) in the automatic renewal of issuing.If do not satisfy automatic update condition, then do not carry out automatic renewal issue, and carry out inspection in step 470.
In step 450, navigation engine 330 receives position (and the other) data that offered it by GPS 320, and this positional information and navigation information and/or data are associated.For example, navigation engine 330 can associate the location association that receives information to GPS 320 and with navigation information, the navigation-position data that is associated with generation.In specific execution mode, navigation engine 330 can use map and running data, with POI with travel statistical correlation to GPS 320 positional informations.Navigation engine also can be with friend's location association of being provided by social networks client computer 340 to GPS 320 positional informations.Navigation engine 330 is accessed the POI information, and mobile subscriber's positional information is compared with the position of POI.In this way, for example, navigation engine 330 can identify the mobile subscriber at which (which) POI within the distance of selecting in advance, and/or can identify or will be positioned at very soon near one or more friend of this mobile subscriber.Navigation engine 330 also can calculate the running time that arrives specific POI and/or friend position from mobile subscriber's position, and the remaining time that arrives the route destination of programming, and other navigation statistics.Navigation-position data that navigation engine 330 will be associated passes to social networks client computer 340 to process.
Use this navigation-position data that is associated, can carry out to user data checking, to determine whether the issuing automatic renewal of upgrading such as the position.For example, if issue was upgraded automatically when user data was desirably within the final route of the user distance destination 10 minutes, then can make this with the navigation-position data that is associated and determine.Perhaps, the user might want automatically to upgrade issue when the user is each time through the POI of particular type or friend.Navigation-the position data that is associated also can be used to determine.In fact, depend on time and/or depend on that the combination in any of the statistics of position all can be designed to issue by the user condition of automatic renewal.In this way, when the user can pre-determine and/or be preset in and/or the condition automatically upgraded of issue wherein.
As previously discussed, if update condition satisfies automatically, then issue is upgraded automatically.The content and form of 340 pairs of navigation datas that receive of social networks client computer is processed.In specific execution mode, the processing of content and form is according to the rule of issue criterion and social networks and/or according to the user data that retrieves in step 410 (for example, issue filter and/or mobile subscriber's Privacy Options), navigation data is transformed into one or more issue for one or more social networks.Social networks client computer 340 offers communication interface 350 with treated data.Communication interface 350 can be with treated data, and perhaps issue, state renewal etc. send to one or more social networks of target or expection via the Internet 360.In specific execution mode, without limited significance, treated data can comprise, as, the mobile subscriber will go to and where set out wherefrom with the mobile subscriber.It can comprise, as, near POI, or be about to arrive near the POI.It can comprise navigation data and route statistics, as, arrive the time of final destination or the time in route past.These only are the examples of automatically upgrading issue, and and the scope to the claims of enclosing that do not mean that be construed as limiting.
If, in step 470, do not carry out extra issue, then this flow process advances to step 430 and stops.In specific execution mode, in the time of when the certain distance in the final route destination of distance or within the time, the user may only want to issue one and automatically upgrade.After this issue is carried out, will issue without other, and flow process can finish.Yet if the user wants automatically to upgrade in each POI place issue on the way, navigation engine 330 can learn along this route whether also have POI, and when not having other POI to exist, then will can not carry out other issue, and this flow process will stop on the way.
If, in step 470, will carry out extra issue, then this flow process advances to step 480, at this step place, will wait for that next automatically the renewal checks.This wait can be based on the time (for example, from 0 to several seconds or a few minutes etc.), can be based on distance (for example, per 1 meter/mile to every several meters/miles checks, Deng), perhaps can have some other benchmark (checking when for example, at every turn passing through POI on the way).Check frequency regardless of automatically upgrading, when needs checked, flow process was got back to step 440 to obtain position (and other) data, then continues from this step, as previously discussed.
Although according to the functional block diagram among Figure 15 this flow process has been discussed, yet has been should be appreciated that, this flow process can realize in software, and be stored in the memory 220, and carry out at processor 210, process by communication module 230, via interface module 240 and PERCOM peripheral communication.
