Patent number: 10282988Abstract: A technique of providing advertisements in a traffic message is provided that obtains (704) traffic data having a traffic condition of a location description on a road network. A location reference code associated with the location description assigned by a traffic message supplier and an advertising reference code associated with the location reference code are assessed (706), (714), followed by a determination (716) as to whether the advertising reference code is present. If so, a traffic message having the location reference code and the advertising reference code is generated (710).Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2006Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: John MacLeod, Lumumba Mbekeani, Howard R.

Patent number: 8185297Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for providing personalized traffic reports. A personalized traffic report is a relatively short, audio-visual presentation that includes an audio narrative by an announcer describing the traffic conditions along a user's selected route, synchronized with a video presentation that includes maps with animations showing the traffic conditions and a visual representation of the announcer. A traffic data services provider determines traffic conditions that pertain to a user's identified particular route, i.e. from an origin to a destination. Then, the traffic data services provider forms an audio-video file that includes an audio narrative in the voice of an announcer that describes the traffic conditions along the user's route, along with a visual map representation of the user's route, a graphical indication of the traffic conditions along the route, and a visual representation of the announcer.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Navteq NA LLCInventor: John MacLeod
