  • Patent number: 9797730
    Abstract: A mobile navigation system may include a navigation computer, an arrival detection system, and an information delivery system. The navigation computer may be configured to receive a destination to which a user of the mobile navigation system wishes to travel and to provide guidance to the user about how to navigate to the destination. The arrival detection system may be configured to automatically detect when the mobile navigation system has arrived at the destination. The information delivery system may be configured to provide local information to the user that is tailored to the specific destination in response to detection by the arrival detection system of the arrival of the mobile navigation system at the destination. The local information may not be merely an announcement that the user has arrived at the destination.

  • Patent number: 9162574
    Abstract: A portable telematics device can be a tablet or a mobile device. The tablet and mobile device can combine to run applications via a communication link and form a link with a vehicle and/or another mobile device. The tablet can also have a telematics component which has a display component displaying a selected program icon from the mobile station on the tablet and a control component. The control component can be configured to prevent a use of all program icons on the mobile station. Further, it can allow a use of the selected program icon on the tablet, which can activate a related program on the mobile station. The display component can display at least an output of the related program on the tablet.

  • Patent number: 8990043
    Abstract: A floor-reporting computer system may determine the specific floor in a building on which a wireless mobile communication device is located. A network interface may receive device location information from a network communication system which originated from the wireless mobile communication device and which is indicative of the horizontal and vertical location of the wireless mobile communication device. A computer processing system may receive the device location information from the network interface and determine floor location information indicative of the specific floor in the building on which the wireless mobile communication device is located based on the device location information. The computer processing system may consult one or more databases when determining the floor location information, such as a building location database, a ground elevation database, a building floor height database, and/or an atmospheric air pressure database.

  • Patent number: 8718614
    Abstract: Providing a contextual reminder to a mobile station includes determining a locus of the mobile station based on the position of the mobile station in both time and space. A first entry is read, where the first entry can be at least a task or an event. Both tasks and events can include a time, a date, and/or a location. The locus and the first entry can be compared to determine if the contextual reminder should be provided to the mobile station. The contextual reminder can be provided to the mobile station based on the comparison. The reminder can be provided when at least one of the time, the date and the geographical position of the mobile station is proximate to at least one of the time, date, and location of the entry.
