Abstract

A method, apparatus and non-transitory computer readable storage medium, in one embodiment, associating at least one wireless device and at least one user, requesting audio information from at least one remote source by the at least one wireless device, receiving the audio information from the remote source, broadcasting an audio identifier to the at least one wireless device, using the audio information, authenticating the association between the at least one wireless device and at least one transport, based on the audio information, determining at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one of at least one user search history and at least one user preference selection and determining at least one probable route of the at least one transport based on the at least one characteristic and at least one of at least one route history and at least one input destination.

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

determining, by a processor of a wireless device, at least one probable route of at least one transport based on at least one characteristic of at least one user;

determining, by the processor, at least one of at least one route history based on geographic data supplied by a global positioning system device and at least one input destination; and

determining, by the processor, at least one suggestion of at least one deviation of the at least one probable route based on the at least one characteristic.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

enabling the at least one wireless device and the at least one transport to communicate through audio signals using audible frequencies.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

broadcasting an audio identifier to at least one wireless device; and

receiving, by the least one wireless device, audio information from at least one remote source, wherein said audio information comprises encoding the audio information into the audio identifier.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the audio information comprises the audio identifier.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one wireless device comprises a handheld device.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the audio information comprises encoding the audio information using a frequency shift keying method.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing the at least one user search history to determine at least one of at least one user hobby, at least one user sport, at least one user group and at least one user interest.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the at least one wireless device, the at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one of at least one user search history and at least one user preference selection.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

rating at least one suggestion of at least one route deviation based at least on the at least one characteristic and determined at least one probable route.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one user location.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine at least one probable route of at least one transport based on at least one characteristic of at least one user;

determine at least one of at least one route history based on geographic data supplied by a global positioning system device and at least one input destination; and

determine at least one suggestion of at least one deviation of the at least one probable route based on the at least one characteristic.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor further is to:

determine the at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one of at least one user search history and at least one user preference selection.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor further is to:

rate at least one suggestion of at least one route deviation based at least on the at least one characteristic and determined at least one probable route.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor further is to:

enable at least one wireless device and the at least one transport to communicate through audio signals that utilizes audible frequencies.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein at least one wireless device receives audio information from at least one remote source, wherein the processor further is to:

encode the audio information into an audio identifier to the at least one wireless device.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the audio information comprises the audio identifier.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

determining at least one probable route of at least one transport based on at least one characteristic of at least one user;

determining at least one of at least one route history based on geographic data supplied by a global positioning system device and at least one input destination; and

determining at least one suggestion of at least one deviation of the at least one probable route based on the at least one characteristic.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform: determining the at least one characteristic of the at least one user based on at least one of at least one user search history and at least one user preference selection.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

enabling at least one wireless device and the at least one transport to communicate through audio signals using audible frequencies.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

receiving audio information from at least one remote source.
