APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLUSTERING POINTS OF INTEREST IN A NAVIGATION SYSTEM

摘要

A navigation system, apparatus and method utilizing a processor and a sensor, operatively coupled to the processor to determine a location of the navigation system. An input is configured to receive destination data, specifying a destination, and point-of-interest (POI) data from a user, wherein the processor is configured to process the destination data and the POI data to determine a plurality of POIs that are in closest proximity to the destination and clustering the POIs for presentation on a navigational map. The processor may be further configured to generate a route from the location of the navigation system, the destination and at least one of the POIs in the navigational map based on at least one of speed and distance.

1. A navigation system, comprising:
a processor; a sensor, operatively coupled to the processor, the sensor being configured to determine a location of the navigation system; an input, operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the input is configured to receive destination data, specifying a destination, and point-of-interest (POI) data comprising a plurality of generic or specific POIs from a user, wherein the processor is configured to process the destination data and the POI data to determine a plurality of POIs that are in closest proximity to the destination and clustering the POIs for presentation on a navigational map, wherein the processor is configured to determine at least one alternate POI that is in closest proximity to the destination based on a predetermined distance threshold in response to a determination that the clustered POIs exceed the predetermined distance threshold.
