Publication number: 20210335128Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a navigation application that uses a novel traffic notification scheme for providing traffic related notifications during a navigation presentation that is provided by a device. While providing a navigation presentation, the application iteratively monitors traffic conditions along the route. When traffic conditions meet a set of one or more threshold criteria, the application identifies a type of traffic notification that it should provide from several possible traffic notifications types. Next, without receiving any input from outside of the device, the application provides a traffic notification that is associated with the selected traffic notification type. In some embodiments, the traffic notification types include a notification (1) relating to traffic congestion along the current route, (2) relating to one or more faster routes that can replace the current route, and (3) regarding a road closure or extreme delay along the current route.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christine B. McGavran, Wesley Yue, Christopher Y. Tremblay, Supratik Maitra, Usama M. Hajj, Brian Andrich, Eric L. Grundstrom, J. Paul McCabe, Eric J. Albert, Ameya A. Limaye, Graydon Armstrong

Patent number: 9823077Abstract: A method for providing navigation instructions on a device is described. As the device traverses a navigated route according to a first mode of transportation, the method displays a first turn-by-turn navigation presentation defined for the first mode. Based on data gathered by the device, the method determines that the device is navigating the route according to a second mode of transportation. The method automatically displays a second, different turn-by-turn navigation presentation defined for the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Christine B. McGavran, Bradford A. Moore, Christopher D. Moore, Harold O. Habeck, Marcel van Os, Wesley Yue, Eric L. Grundstrom

Publication number: 20160356622Abstract: Some embodiments provide a navigation application that provides, as a device traverses a transit route, a transit navigation presentation that includes navigation instructions that specify navigation maneuvers associated with at least one walking portion and a set of transit vehicles. The navigation application also monitors the device's position along the transit route. The navigation application also, after determining that the device is on the walking portion of the transit route, automatically, and without user intervention, presents a walking-direction indicator to identify the orientation of the device with respect to a desired walking-navigation direction of the walking portion of the route.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: Christine B.

Patent number: 9500492Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application with novel navigation and/or search tools. In some embodiments, the mapping application formulates predictions about future destinations of a device that executes the mapping application, and provides dynamic notifications regarding these predicted destinations. For instance, when a particular destination is a likely destination (e.g., most likely destination) of the device, the mapping application in some embodiments presents a notification regarding the particular destination (e.g., plays an animation that presents the notification). This notification in some embodiments provides some information about (1) the predicted destination (e.g., a name and/or address for the predicted destination) and (2) a route to this predicted destination (e.g., an estimated time of arrival, distance, and/or amount of ETD for the predicted destination).Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Bradford A. Moore, Joshua C. Weinberg, Jorge Fino, Mark B. Larus, Christine B. McGavran, Wesley Yue
