SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROUTE-SPECIFIC SEARCHING

摘要

Systems and methods of route-specific searching are provided. Information about a first location and second location may be processed. The information about the second location may be from a user and may indicate a destination. A first route from the first location to the second location may be identified. A search query may be processed. Search results may be identified, and, a third location corresponding to the search result may be identified. A route from the first location to the third location to the second location may be determined. A deviation of the route with respect to the first route may be determined. A search result may be selected based on the deviation. A map may depict an area including the first location, the second location, and the third location. The route from the first location to the third location to the second location may be indicated.

1. A method of route-specific searching relative to locations of interest to a user of a mobile computing device, the method comprising:
supplying a mobile application configured to run on a mobile computing device; processing information about a first location; processing information about a second location, wherein the information about the second location is from a user of the mobile computing device and indicates a destination; identifying a first route from the first location to the second location; processing an input from the user, wherein the input corresponds to a search query; and responsive to the input: identifying one or more search results; and for at least one of the one or more search results:
identifying a third location, the third location corresponding to the search result; determining at least one route from the first location to the third location to the second location; and determining a deviation of the at least one route from the first location to the third location to the second location with respect to the first route from the first location to the second location; selecting the at least one of the one or more search results based at least in part on the deviation; wherein the mobile application is configured to: cause display of a map on the mobile computing device, wherein the map depicts an area including the first location, the second location, and the third location; and cause indication on the mobile computing device of the at least one route from the first location to the third location to the second location.
