Patent number: 11920941Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of selecting a route for a user is disclosed. The method includes a routing computer presenting a map on a display operably coupled to the routing computer. The routing computer receives a start location and distance criteria via user input, and a plurality of routing criteria. The routing computer determines a plurality of routes that start and end at the start location based on the distance criteria and the routing criteria, and displays at least one of the plurality of routes on the map. Further, the routing computer receives route editing instructions via user input, and modifies at least one of the plurality of routes based on the editing instructions to create one or more modified routes.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sandra Lynn Mcbride, Thomas Charles Mcbride
