The present application is a continuation and claims the priority benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/763,199, filed Apr. 19, 2010, which is a continuation and claims the priority benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/283,748 filed Sep. 12, 2008, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,702,452, which is a continuation and claims the priority benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/897,550 filed Jul. 23, 2004, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,610,145, which claims the priority benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 60/490,199 filed Jul. 25, 2003. The disclosures of the above-referenced applications are hereby incorporated by reference.
The user registration server 110 may also be integrated with architecture of third-party service providers (not shown) such as Internet portals, cellular telephone services, and wireless handheld devices. Such integration allows the present system to deliver departure alerts 130 and notifications 320 through third-party proprietary networks or communication systems, such as instant messaging networks operated AOL®, Yahoo!® and Microsoft®, in addition to providing a value-added resale benefit to be offered by such third-party providers. Departure alerts 130 and departure notifications 320 generated by the present system and integrated with architecture of a third-party can also be charged to a user's third-party service bill (e.g., a wireless telephone bill), and the operator of the present system shares a portion of the third-party service provider's revenue.
Access to the user registration server 110 to verify account access permissions or to otherwise provide, edit, or delete certain information may occur via any number of different interfaces. For example, if the user registration server 110 is integrated with third-party architecture such as Yahoo!®, interface with the user registration server 110 may occur through a third-party web-based user interface specifically generated and designed by Yahoo!®. Similarly, a party directly implementing the present system can generate their own user interface for accessing the user registration server 110. This interface may offer opportunities for co-branding, strategically placed advertisements, or basic account access (e.g., a simple request for a user name and password). The user interface for the user registration server 110 is limited only in that it need be capable of accessing the user registration server 110 and directing the request, storage, or manipulation of information managed by the user registration server 110.
The departure alert 130 is created by providing certain attributes, such as information concerning starting point, destination, desired arrival time, routing restrictions, preferred notification method and format, and departure buffer time whereby the user may compensate for such time consuming tasks as packing a briefcase, leaving a parking garage or finding a parking spot and the user's destination. The attributes may also include any other information available to the user that might otherwise aid in calculation of a desired route, such as avoidance of construction zones or directing travel in areas offering a variety of hotels, rest stops, or restaurants. In one embodiment, the attributes and information may be entered in response to specific enumerated queries made through the departure alert interface 120 (e.g., ‘What time do you wish to arrive?’ or ‘What is your maximum desired speed limit?’). In an alternative embodiment, attributes may be generated in response to a graphic query whereby a map is provided and the user ‘clicks’ on a desired starting or departure point and ‘checks off’ certain travel attributes (e.g., ‘avoid construction zones,’ ‘.quadrature. avoid highways with carpool lanes’ or ‘map route near hotels’).
For example, a user can, through the departure alert interface 120 (FIG. 1), generate settings to provide for the delivery of the departure notification 320 through the desired notification delivery protocol 340. Examples of various protocols include SMS to a cellular phone, electronic mail to an electronic mail address, or via a proprietary data network to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) such as a Blackberry™.
1. A system for delivering departure notifications, the system comprising:
a processor that executes instructions stored in the memory to: connect a user for access to a departure alert interface, prompt the user to provide a plurality of travel attributes into the departure alert interface, wherein the plurality of travel attributes includes at least a maximum speed of travel of the user, prompt the user to provide a preferred method of message delivery, generate a preliminary travel route using at least the plurality of travel attributes, recommend a departure time for the user based on the preliminary travel route including the maximum speed of travel, send a message to the user regarding the preliminary travel route and the recommended departure time using the preferred method of message delivery, and prompt the user to accept or reject the preliminary travel route.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the travel attributes include an origination point and an arrival point.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the travel attributes include a desired arrival time.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the user accepts the preliminary travel route based at least in part on the recommended departure time required for on-time arrival.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the user rejects the preliminary travel route.
6. The system of claim 5, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to generate an alternative travel route based on the plurality of travel attributes.
7. The system of claim 4, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to continually reassess the approved preliminary travel route and determine if the recommended departure time will allow for on-time arrival.
8. The system of claim 7, wherein a material change alters the preliminary travel route.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein the material change includes a traffic incident.
10. The system of claim 8, wherein the material change includes a road closure.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to send a message to the user of the material change using the preferred method of message delivery.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to generate an alternative travel route using at least the plurality of travel attributes.
13. The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to generate an alternative departure time based on the alternative travel route.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to prompt the user to accept or reject the alternative travel route.
15. The system of claim 13, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to prompt the user to accept or reject the alternative departure time.
