MANAGEMENT OF GROUP AND NAVIGATION INFORMATION FOR TRAVELERS

摘要

An integrated experience for travelling in a group or pack whereby a user can invite fellow users to join their group, organize a group trip (run) at a specified time and date, and experience an on-trip navigation interface that provides real-time updates on group member position and basic communications. Trip information is collected and made accessible to anyone interested in exploring new routes. A user may organize groups and plan routes for group travel. An interface simplifies communicate with fellow group members and a geofence notifies group members if they have strayed away from the group. The interface further includes navigation, group communications, sending a predefined message to group members (as easy as taps of a finger), group positioning (i.e., visualize the location of each traveler), group management, run management (i.e., plan and schedule routes), and a contact management and invitation system.
