  • Publication number: 20180245930
    Abstract: A method for navigation system power conservation is provided. The present invention may include receiving a travel route to a destination from a global positioning system, wherein the received travel route includes segments. The present invention may include, in response to determining a user has started traversing a segment, calculating a travel time for the segment. The present invention may include determining the calculated travel time exceeds a threshold. The present invention may include calculating a sleep time for the navigation system. The present invention may include executing a sleep mode for the navigation system. The present invention may include determining the user has taken a detour from the travel route based on monitoring a sensor. The present invention may include, in response to expiration of the calculated sleep time or determining the user has taken a detour, executing a navigation mode for the navigation system.

  • Publication number: 20160055377
    Abstract: A method of identifying and suggesting objects for a user within a user's field of vision of a personal imaging system. A user's field of vision within the system is monitored. The personal imaging system requests feedback regarding objects that are focused on within the user's field of vision. The feedback from the user is associated with the user's profile which includes at least demographics. A real-time correlation of the user's profile and demographics with other users is performed to provide a correlation interest score. The interest score may be used to recommend and direct the user's attention to other objects within the user's field of vision that the user may be interested in.
