Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a navigation distance based on comparing a current location and a guidance point; determining a connection mode based on comparing a mode threshold distance and the navigation distance; detecting a communication initiation information for initiating a communication session; and generating a guidance notification with a control unit based on detecting the communication initiation information during the connection mode representing the mode threshold distance meeting or exceeding the navigation distance for presenting on a device.

Claims (34)

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

determining a navigation distance based on comparing a current location and a guidance point;

determining a connection mode based on comparing a mode threshold distance and the navigation distance;

detecting a communication initiation information for initiating a communication session; and

generating a guidance notification with a control unit based on detecting the communication initiation information during the connection mode representing the mode threshold distance meeting or exceeding the navigation distance for presenting on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising queuing the guidance notification based on detecting the communication initiation information during a presentation of the guidance notification.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the guidance notification includes determining a guidance volume of the guidance notification based on a whisper option attached to the guidance notification.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising removing the guidance notification in a prompt queue based on the guidance notification including the guidance point located between a start point and a current location along a drive route for presenting on the device.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising combining the guidance notification included in a prompt queue and a generated instance of the guidance notification for presenting on the device.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising prompting the guidance notification included in a prompt queue based on terminating the communication session, a silent state, or a combination thereof for presenting on the device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising presenting an inbound request based on the navigation distance meeting or exceeding a connection threshold distance for initiating the communication session.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising transceiving the communication initiation information based on a connection threshold distance meeting or exceeding the navigation distance for initiating the communication session.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising initiating the communication session based on detecting the communication initiation information for transceiving a communication information with the device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the guidance notification includes generating the guidance notification based on detecting the communication initiation information during transceiving of a communication information.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit for;

determining a navigation distance based on comparing a current location and a guidance point,

determining a connection mode based on comparing a mode threshold distance and the navigation distance,

detecting a communication initiation information for initiating a communication session,

generating a guidance notification based on detecting the communication initiation information during the connection mode representing the mode threshold distance meeting or exceeding the navigation distance, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, for communicating the guidance notification for presenting on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for queueing the guidance notification based on detecting the communication initiation information during a presentation of the guidance notification.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for generating the guidance notification includes determining a guidance volume of the guidance notification based on a whisper option attached to the guidance notification.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for removing the guidance notification in a prompt queue based on the guidance notification including the guidance point located between a start point and a current location along a drive route for presenting on the device.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for combining the guidance notification included in a prompt queue and a generated instance of the guidance notification for presenting on the device.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for execution, the instructions comprising:

determining a navigation distance based on comparing a current location and a guidance point;

determining a connection mode based on comparing a mode threshold distance and the navigation distance;

detecting a communication initiation information for initiating a communication session; and

generating a guidance notification based on detecting the communication initiation information during the connection mode representing the mode threshold distance meeting or exceeding the navigation distance for presenting on a device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising queuing the guidance notification based on detecting the communication initiation information during a presentation of the guidance notification.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 wherein generating the guidance notification includes determining a guidance volume of the guidance notification based on a whisper option attached to the guidance notification.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising removing the guidance notification in a prompt queue based on the guidance notification including the guidance point located between a start point and a current location along a drive route for presenting on the device.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising combining the guidance notification included in a prompt queue and a generated instance of the guidance notification for presenting on the device.
