Transport communication
View Patent ↗Transport communication comprising, associating a wireless device and a user, associating a transport and the wireless device, determining a characteristic of the user based on at least one of a user search history and a user preference selection, determining a probable route the transport based on at least one of a route history and an input destination and ranking at least one suggestion of a route deviation based at least one of the determined probable route and determined characteristic.
1. A method, comprising:
broadcasting, by a processor, an audio identifier to a wireless device;
associating the wireless device and a transport;
authenticating the association between the wireless device and the transport based on audio information encoded into the audio identifier;
identifying calendar events of a user of the wireless device from a calendar application hosted in a cloud environment;
determining a characteristic of the user based on the calendar events identified from the calendar application;
determining a probable route of the transport based on at least one of route history, an input destination, and a current location of the wireless device;
generating a suggested route deviation to the determined probable route based on the determined characteristic of the user;
transmitting the suggested route deviation to the wireless device;
identifying, by the transport, a distance to a destination of the suggested route deviation and an amount of time until a next event identified from scheduling data associated with the user;
in response to the identification of the amount of time until the next event, sending a query requesting identification of stores having sales with a price reduction above a user-selected threshold amount; and
providing the audio information to the user by the transport identifying the distance, the amount of time, the stores, and the sales.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
analyzing a web browsing history of the user to determine another characteristic of the user that comprises at least one of a hobby, a sport, and an interest.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating and ranking a plurality of route deviation suggestions based on the characteristic and the probable route; and
transmitting the ranked plurality of route deviation suggestions to the wireless device.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the ranking is based on at least one rating history of previous reviewers.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining at least one routing schedule based on at least one route history.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining at least one routing schedule based on the input destination.
7. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to:
broadcast an audio identifier to a wireless device;
associate the wireless device and a transport;
authenticate the association between the wireless device and the transport based on audio information encoded into the audio identifier;
identify calendar events of a user of the wireless device from a calendar application hosted in a cloud environment;
determine a characteristic of the user based on the calendar events identified from the calendar application;
determine a probable route of the transport based on at least one of route history an input destination, and a current location of the wireless device;
generate a suggested route deviation to the determined probable route based on the characteristic of the user;
transmit the suggested route deviation to the wireless device;
identify a distance to a destination of the suggested route deviation and an amount of time until a next event identified from scheduling data associated with the user;
in response to the identification of the amount of time until the next event, sending a query requesting identification of stores having sales with a price reduction above a user-selected threshold amount; and
provide the audio information to the user by the transport identifying the distance, the amount of time, the stores, and the sales.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
generate a plurality of route deviation suggestions based on the characteristic and the determined probable route, rank the plurality of route deviation suggestions, and transmit the ranked plurality of route deviation suggestions to the wireless device.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
analyze a web browsing history of the user to determine another characteristic of the user that comprises at least one of a hobby, a sport, and an interest.
10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine a route schedule based on at least one of a route history and the input destination.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
broadcasting an audio identifier to at least one wireless device;
associating the at least one wireless device and at least one transport;
authenticating the association between the wireless device and the transport based on audio information encoded into the audio identifier;
identifying calendar events of a user of the wireless device from a calendar application hosted in a cloud environment;
determining a characteristic of the user based on the calendar events identified from the calendar application;
determining a probable route of the transport based on at least one route history, an input destination, and a current location of the wireless device; generating a suggested route deviation to the determined probable route based on the characteristic of the user;
transmit the suggested route deviation to the wireless device;
identifying a distance to a destination of the suggested route deviation and the amount of time until a next event identified from scheduling data associated with the user;
in response to the identification of an amount of time until the next event, sending a query requesting identification of stores having sales with a price reduction above a user-selected threshold amount; and
providing the audio information to the user by the transport identifying the distance, the amount of time, the stores, and the sales.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
generating a plurality of route deviation suggestions based on the characteristic of the user and the determined probable route, ranking the plurality of route deviation suggestions, and transmitting the ranked plurality of route deviation suggestions to the wireless device.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the ranking of the plurality of route deviation suggestions is based on a rating history of previous reviewers.
