Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a user within a & to a mobile phone, the method type being, for example, including when arriving at one of the zones The content is transmitted to the user at the location. The present invention is also directed to an activity computing device of the type that, for example, delivers content (such as - advertisements) to a user when it arrives at a location relative to a geographic region. The present invention is also directed to a content delivery system of the type that, for example, • delivers content (such as _ advertising fields) to a user when it arrives at a location relative to a geographical area. [Prior Art] Portable computing devices (e.g., portable navigation devices (PNDs)) that include GPS (Global Positioning System) signal reception and processing functionality are well known and widely used as in-vehicle or other vehicle navigation systems. In general, the modern PND includes a processor, a memory, and map data stored in the memory Zhao. The processor and the memory cooperate to provide an execution environment, the memory is typically used in a pure line environment, and in addition, one or more additional software programs are typically provided to control the functionality of the PND and provide various other Features. Typically, the devices further include one or more input interfaces and one or more output interfaces 'the one or more input interfaces allow a user to interact with the device and control the device by the one or more The output interface relays information to the user. The output embodiment of the output interface includes a visual display and a speaker for audio output. The interface of the input interface is 153363. Doc 201233216 The example includes - one or more entities alone - the microphone, the one or more entities are turned on/off operations or other features of the pure n pieces (the buttons do not necessarily have to be on the H piece itself, Rather, if the device is built into the _transport tool, it can be on the steering wheel. 'This microphone is used to detect the user's speech. In a particular configuration, the output interface display can be configured as a touch sensitive display (by - touching a sensitive overlay or otherwise) additionally providing an input interface - the user can use the input interface The device is operated by a touch. One or more physical connector interfaces. Devices of this type will also typically include one or more wireless transmitters/receivers as needed, and the power and optionally data signals can be connected by the one or more entities. The interface is transmitted to and received from the device. The one or more wireless transmitters/receivers are allowed to pass through cellular telecommunications and other signal and data networks (eg Bluetooth, WiFi, Wi-Max, GSM, UMTS and similar). Communication). This type of PND also includes a GPS antenna' by which the GPS broadcast signal (including location data) can be received and subsequently processed to determine a current location of the device. The PND may also include an electronic gyroscope and an accelerometer that can be processed to determine the current angle and linear acceleration, and then combined with position information derived from the GPS signal to determine the speed and relative displacement of the device and Therefore, the vehicle on which the device is mounted is determined. Typically, such features are commonly provided in in-vehicle navigation systems and can also be provided in PNDs. But if it is favorable to start or current position) and one is mainly in the first position of judgment (typically a 153363. Doc 201233216 The ability of one of the routes between the second location (typically a destination) to prove the use of this type of PND. A "well-known" destination (such as a famous location, a municipal location (such as a sports field or indoor swimming pool) or other previously stored by a user of the device by a wide variety of different methods (eg, by postal code, street name, and home number) Points of interest) and my favorite or recently visited destinations) enter these locations. Typically, the PND is enabled by the software for an "optimal" or "best" route from the map data calculation to the destination address location. An "optimal" or "best" route is determined based on predetermined criteria and does not necessarily have to be the fastest or shortest route. The choice of route to guide the driver may be extremely complex, and the selected route may consider existing, forecasted and dynamic and/or wirelessly received traffic and road information, historical information about road speed, and the driver who determines the road selection factor. Your own preferences (for example, the driver may specify a route that should not include a highway or toll road). The device continuously monitors road and traffic conditions and provides or chooses to change the route through which the remaining journeys are due to changing conditions. An instant traffic monitoring system based on various technologies (e.g., mobile phone data exchange, fixed camera, GPS fleet tracking) is being used to identify traffic delays and feed information to the notification system. This type of PND can be typically installed on the dashboard and glare of a vehicle, but can also be formed as part of the vehicle's knives on the vehicle's radio or on the vehicle's own control system. The navigation device can also be part of a handheld system, such as a PDA (portable digital assistant), a media player, a mobile phone or the like, and in such cases, by 153363. Doc 201233216 Once the route is taken, the user and the navigation will be considered as needed from the proposed material list (4), and the user may, for example, by specifying the avoidable or - specific brigade mandatory Some routes, roads, locations, or guidelines participate in or guide the route selection process. Na's route calculations form a major function, and the navigation of this route is another major function. . Heavy 2: The important function of the feed-forward step is the new one of the following events. During the navigation period, a user deviates from the previously calculated route (occupying or intentional), • immediate traffic condition indication—the alternative route may be more advantageous and the period is properly enabled to automatically identify such conditions, or a user actively motivates for any reason The device performs a route recalculation. As mentioned above, it is also known to allow a user-defined criterion to be used to calculate a route; for example, a user may prefer a scenic route calculated by the device, or may avoid any road that may be, expected or currently present with traffic congestion. The software will calculate the various routes and more advantageously consider the route along its route (referred to as the P0I) (the routes are added to the geographical features such as the scenic tag) or use The stored information indicating the traffic conditions of a particular road customizes the calculated route according to the degree of possible road congestion or considering the congestion delay. Other POI-based and traffic-based information route calculation and navigation guidelines are also available. Although the route calculation and navigation functions are the basis of the overall use of the PND, it can be ',' purely out of the communication display 4 "free driving" using the device, free driving 153363. In doc 201233216, only the s information related to the current position of the II piece is displayed, and the route is not calculated and the navigation is not performed before the device #. This mode of operation is typically applied when the user knows that the route along which he wishes to travel and does not require navigation assistance. During the navigation period - the route is calculated. Typically such PNDs provide visual and/or audio commands to guide the user along the selected route until the end of the route (ie, the desired destination). The PND also typically displays map information on the screen during navigation. 'This information is regularly updated on the screen so that the displayed map information indicates the current location of the device, and therefore the user or user is transported if the device is used for navigation within the vehicle. The current location of the tool. One of the on-screen displays typically indicates the current device location and concentrates map information for surrounding roads that are adjacent to the current and current device locations and other map features that are also displayed. In addition, the navigation information may be displayed in a status column above, below or on one side of the displayed map information, and the navigation information instance includes a distance from the current road to be deviated by the user, which may be deviated from the suggested specific type (eg One of the left or right turns is further illustrated to indicate the nature of this deviation. The navigation function also determines the content, duration, and timing of the audio commands that the user is guided along along the route. As can be seen, a simple command (such as a left turn after 100 meters) requires significant processing and analysis. As previously mentioned, user interaction with the device can be by a touch screen, or additionally or alternatively by installing a remotely controlled steering column, by voice activation or by any other suitable method. The above device types (eg by TomTom International B. v, manufactured and supplied by the GO 940 LIVE model) provides a reliable way to enable users to navigate from one location to another. When the user is not familiar with it 153363. Doc 201233216 Such a device has a huge use when navigating the destination of the navigation. However, in addition to providing audio commands through the PND navigation function, it is sometimes desirable to provide content to a user of the PND before, during and after the journey ( For example, advertising content). In this regard, since the user will notice the content, the content needs to be relevant to the user. U.S. Patent No. 7,089,264 discloses the use of a geographic database to deliver content to a user via a so-called mobile computing platform having a location determination capability. A geographic database contains data entities that represent geographic features that are located within a geographic area. Define an advertising area within a geographic area. A further correlation is made between some of the data entities that represent geographic features (e.g., a road segment) by indicating which geographic regions the geographic features are located in. The advertiser is then allowed to associate the advertising message with the advertising area. When the user of the mobile computing platform moves within the geographic area, the geographic features associated with the location and location of the mobile computing device platform are determined. Due to the above-mentioned data association, the advertising area targeted by the mobile computing platform can be determined. The user is provided with an advertising message associated with the advertising area via the mobile computing platform. Unfortunately, content may not be particularly relevant from a user perspective. In addition, content delivery may simply act as a distraction for users who may be driving a vehicle, and thus may be dangerous because this undesired distraction may interfere with the user's safe driving. Ability. Another technique for delivering content based on a location is described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 1/171,94, the disclosure of which uses the so-called common job transition to provide the relevant content to a user. In one embodiment, the regions are constructed and the regions are configured to support common job filtering. Use-location tracking system at 153363.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for transmitting content to a general-purpose, mobile computing device is provided, the method comprising: locating a device to determine a location of the computing device; Determining whether (4) the location of the computing device in a nearby stop region satisfies a predetermined criterion; at least identifying the content associated with the stop region in response to satisfying the I prediction criteria is stored remotely at the remote location The content is obtained via the old path of wireless communication, and the computing device transmits at least the identification of the content to the user in response to the satisfaction-security criteria. The method can further include determining whether, by the determining whether the computing device meets a motion related condition, > its g 4 + X β , 1 fire gold meets the safety criterion; and delivering the response in response to satisfying the motion related condition content. The motion related condition may be decelerating to a stationary state or may be in the stationary state.

In this example, it is assumed that the user considers that the display route is acceptable, and once the "Done" button 352' has been pressed, the user is presented with a three-dimensional view (not shown) of the current starting position of the navigation device 200. The user then begins their journey and the navigation device 200 guides the user in the following manner. Referring to Figure 16 'after the user has set the destination (step 4 〇〇) and the route (402) has been calculated as described above, 'the user is on the calculated route (step 404) » in the journey, coupled to the route The GPS module 258 of the tracker 256 uses the information obtained from the GPS receiver 224 to provide current location information. The route calculated by the route calculator 250 can be accessed by the route tracker 256, and the route tracker determines the current position relative to one of the calculated routes. Route tracking 153363. Doc -28- 201233216 256 uses the obtained GPS data to determine (step bar) when the current position on the route approaches or corresponds to a stop area and the user stops at the stop soil by accessing the stop area database 262. Also district. In this regard, the determination as to whether the position of the navigation device 2GG is within the predetermined area and/or within the predetermined distance is considered to be satisfied in the stop area or within a sufficient distance. . The trigger data mentioned above in the stop area 262 is used in this example to determine if the navigation device 200 is sufficiently close to the stop area to constitute a satisfactory decision criterion. The GPS data is then used to determine if a safety related criterion has been met. In this example, the GPS data is used to determine the speed of the vehicle, and thus the route tracker 256 determines that the stop zone has arrived in a safe manner when the speed is reduced to zero or near zero. Otherwise, route tracker 256 continues to determine when the stop zone has been reached. In another embodiment, the navigation device 2 can be in communication with a vehicle computing device, such as when the navigation device 200 is integrated into a vehicle. In this embodiment, the navigation device 2 can access the transport tool speed to determine the above-described safety related criteria, for example via a so-called CAN bus or FlexrayTM network. The knowledge that the user is at or near a stationary state facilitates delivery of, for example, current content to the user when it is recognized that it corresponds to a security state. The command generator 260 is then subsequently implemented to communicate with the media associated with the stop area, such as one of the following modes. The command generator 260 requests the media communication module 264 to provide (step 4〇8) the media associated with the currently stopped region. The related media is captured by the media delivery module 264 and/or to the associated media (step 41〇), indexed and 153363. Doc -29-201233216 is supplied to the instruction generator 260. In this regard, the media delivery module 264 transmits the identified identification of the identified stop region to the remote server, uses the provided stop region identification, accesses the further stop region database 288, and fetches (step 410) the identified content. The content of the link is for the user to use. The media delivery module 264 then receives the content retrieved by the remote server 286. Once the content has been retrieved, the instruction generator 260 forms (step 412) - the message. For security reasons, as described above, when approaching the stop area, at least one identification of the content or the content about the particular stop area is obtained and delivered when the vehicle is about to stop or is about to stop. In this regard, a motion related condition is applied to determine if content should be delivered. In this example, the motion related condition is a stationary or near stationary state. The motion related condition may include a maximum speed associated with a stop region. The user's settings, any previous driving directions, the previously used stop areas, and any preferences of the user can be used to improve the assessment of the most relevant content. In this regard, the navigation device stores profile data in this embodiment. Once the message has been formed, the command generator 260 presents (step 414) the media to the user via display 230 and/or speaker 268. In a first alternative implementation, the formed message may include at least an identification and/or a reference to the content, for example, by hyperlinking to one of the media, the selection of the user connection results in an "extract" based (relative to a "push based" ") Provide media to users. As can be seen, the content prioritization can be scheduled according to any suitable predetermined criteria. In the above example, each stop region has a single associated with it 153363. Doc 201233216 Content item. However, in another embodiment, a given stop region may have at least two content items associated therewith. In such situations, the media communication module 246 must prioritize the content associated with the stop area and select the content with the highest priority for delivery to the user. In this regard, prioritization may be based on at least one of the following criteria: a relevance of the content to a identified destination location; a correlation with a calculated route; a correlation with a segment of the calculated route; One of the users sets the correlation of the sandal; the relevance of the vehicle to one of the computing devices; and/or the location of the computing device. As described herein, the delivery is relevant and delivered to the user in a manner that does not compromise the security of the user and/or other passengers within a vehicle. As suggested above, the content may be an advertisement; the advertisement may be related to the destination selected by the user, but the relevance may additionally or alternatively be about other locations, such as the current stop region, any potential subsequent stop regions, regarding the current A destination-dynamic situation (such as a traffic condition or parking availability). The content that is delivered may be related to a dynamic situation associated with the calculated route, such as a danger associated with the route, a potential associated with the route. Damage (for example, where there is an accident or accident, such as a dangerous intersection or a potentially dangerous line merge). In another case, the 'stopped area can be accidentally formed and dynamically judged. Due to the use of the communication network $ by the navigation device, it is possible to use the Ding (10) Ding Claw

In another embodiment, a login system is added to the navigation skirt to collect statistical usage data, such as clickthrough rates, for the user to select to connect, communicate, or otherwise interact with the advertiser or obtain more information. This aspect of functionality can be performed by content delivery module 241. As another example, although the above embodiments have been described in the context of driving, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above examples can be employed with respect to other activities, such as walking or hiking or other off-road navigation. Similarly, the above example can be applied with respect to a two-wheeled vehicle (such as a cyclist and/or a cyclist) that includes a 50 cc to 125" vehicle. In this regard, due to the two-wheeled vehicle Time limited balance and limited interaction freedom 'message content to users' - security interaction and display especially 153363.doc -32- 201233216 is important. In addition, from a safe point to prepare m point hope only when the vehicle is stationary and at The safest possible position is to deliver the cautious bar. Therefore, with regard to such a means of transport, the above-described embodiments can be configured to support additional safety by selecting a stop area where the rider can stand still. 'To ensure the safe delivery of content, it is possible to define stop areas for certain types of transport workers and for others. In another-real money, when it is considered to be located between the stop area and the destination The security camera on the route can display the security camera when it is safe to display, thereby avoiding distracting the driver.

By way of further example, although the embodiment described in the foregoing detailed description refers to GPS, it should be noted that the navigation can be used for any kind of location sensing technology as GPS. Instead of (or in fact adding something, for example, when available, the navigation device may use other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the proposed EUropean Galile(R) system. Again, it should not be limited to satellite based Ground-based beacons or other types of systems that cause the device to determine its geographic location (eg, long-range navigation (L〇RAN)_c system) 153363.doc •33-201233216 is easy to function. An alternative embodiment of the present invention can be implemented as a computer program product for use with a computer system, such as a tangible data recording medium (such as - A series of computer commands on a magnetic disk, CD-ROM, R〇M, or fixed disk) or embodied as a computer data signal transmitted over a physical medium or a wireless medium (eg, microwave or infrared). The 6J instruction series may constitute all or part of the above functionality, and may also be stored in any memory device that is volatile or non-volatile, such as semiconductor, magnetic, optical or other memory devices. The skilled person should also understand well that although the preferred embodiment implements certain functionality by software, it can be purely in hardware (for example by one or more ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits)) or Functionality is equivalently performed by mixing one of the hardware and the soft body. As such, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to implementation in the software.
