Providing route recommendations

摘要

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining travel information that indicates travel patterns for a mobile computing device that is associated with a user; identifying a current context for the mobile computing device and the user; identifying one or more destination locations that the user has at least a threshold likelihood of travelling to with the mobile computing device based on the current context and the obtained travel information; generating a prediction that one or more events have at least a threshold probability of occurring along one or more of a plurality of routes for travelling to the identified one or more destination locations; selecting a particular route from the plurality of routes to recommend to the user based on the current context and the prediction of the one or more events; and providing route information that identifies the selected particular route.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, at a computer system, information that indicates historic routes along which a mobile computing device has previously moved, wherein the mobile computing device is associated with a user; identifying, by the computer system, a current geographic location at which the mobile computing device is currently located; identifying, by the computer system, a predicted location to which the mobile computing device has at least a threshold likelihood of traveling based on the current geographic location and the obtained information that indicates the historic routes along which the mobile computing device has moved; identifying, by the computer system, a plurality of predicted routes for traveling from the current geographic location to the predicted location based on the predicted location and the current location; generating, by the computer system, a prediction that a future event that has yet to occur has at least a threshold probability of occurring along a first predicted route of the predicted routes for traveling from the current geographic location to the predicted location; selecting, by the computer system, a particular predicted route from the plurality of predicted routes to recommend to the user based on the generated prediction that the future event has at least a threshold probability of occurring; and providing, by the computer system, route information that identifies the selected particular predicted route, so as to cause the mobile computing device to provide an indication that the user travel the selected particular predicted route.
