  • Publication number: 20160171546
    Abstract: A system for providing a user with situational information. A user state is defined by information specific to a user, such as location and physiological state of the user, (e.g. fatigue). A travel state is defined by information regarding a transportation service, for example delayed or on time. A geo-location state is determined by the user's location. Situational information is displayed to the user based on the user state, the travel state, and any relevant merchants that are nearby the user. This may include information about the transportation, merchants, or advertisements. The user state may also include sensor data from at least one wearable sensor located on the user. The user state may be aggregated from multiple users to determine congestion, predict emergency situations, and provide alternative routes.
