Abstract

Technologies for sharing route navigation data in a community cloud include a mobile navigation device of a vehicle and a remote mobile navigation device of a remote vehicle. The mobile navigation device generates sensor data associated with a current route of the vehicle and determines whether a reference traffic event occurs within a segment of the current route of the vehicle. In response to a determination that a reference traffic event occurs, the mobile navigation devices transmits route update data to the remote mobile navigation device. Based on the route update data, the remote mobile navigation device updates a current route of the remote vehicle to avoid the reference traffic event within a corresponding segment of the current route of the remote vehicle. The mobile navigation device may also transmit the sensor data to a community compute device, which may transmit route update data to the remote mobile navigation device.

First claim

1 . A compute device comprising:
a route monitoring module to determine, based on sensor data associated with a current route of a first vehicle, in which at least a segment of the current route of the vehicle corresponds to one or more segments of an existing route of a second vehicle, an occurrence of a reference traffic event within the segment of the current route of the first vehicle; and a route determination module to selectively transmit route update data directly to a remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route.

2 . The compute device of claim 1 , wherein the route determination module is further to generate, in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route, an alternate route for the second vehicle to avoid the one or more segments of the existing route of the second vehicle that correspond to the segment of the current route; and
wherein to transmit the route update data comprises to transmit the alternate route to the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle.

3 . The compute device of claim 1 , wherein the route determination module is further to (i) determine, in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route, an alternate route of a plurality of alternate routes for the second vehicle to avoid the one or more segments of the existing route of the second vehicle that correspond to the segment of the current route, wherein each alternate route is associated with a route identifier that identifies each alternate route within the plurality of alternate routes and (ii) determine the route identifier associated with the alternate route determined for the second vehicle; and
wherein to transmit the route update data comprises to transmit, to the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle, the route identifier associated with the alternate route determined for the second vehicle.

4 . The compute device of claim 3 , wherein the route determination module is further to receive, from the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle, one or more of the plurality of alternate routes and the route identifier associated with each of the one or more of the plurality of alternate routes received; and
wherein to determine the alternate route and the associated route identifier for the second vehicle comprises to determine the alternate route and the associated route identifier for the second vehicle from the one or more alternate routes of the plurality of alternate routes received from the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle.

5 . The compute device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor to generate the sensor data associated with the current route of the first vehicle.

6 . The compute device of claim 5 , wherein to generate the sensor data comprises to at least one of generate location data indicative of a current location of the first vehicle or generate traffic data indicative of a current traffic condition at the current location of the first vehicle.

7 . The compute device of claim 6 , wherein to generate the traffic data indicative of the current traffic condition comprises to generate traffic data indicative of a traffic accident at the current location of the first vehicle based on an analysis of one or more images captured at the current location of the first vehicle.

8 . The compute device of claim 1 , wherein the route determination module is further to (i) receive, from the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle, a request for route data associated with a future route of the second vehicle and (ii) transmit, to the remote mobile navigation device, the requested route data based on historical sensor data for a past route of the first vehicle.

9 . The compute device of claim 1 , wherein the compute device and the remote mobile navigation device are each member compute devices of a community cloud;
wherein to transmit the route update data to the remote mobile navigation device comprises to transmit the route update data to the remote mobile navigation device of the community cloud; the compute device further comprising: a privacy management module to prevent transmission of the route update data to member compute devices of a public cloud, wherein the public cloud is different from the community cloud.

10 . One or more machine-readable media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that in response to being executed cause a compute device to:
determine, based on sensor data associated with a current route of a first vehicle, in which at least a segment of the current route of the vehicle corresponds to one or more segments of an existing route of a second vehicle, an occurrence of a reference traffic event within the segment of the current route of the first vehicle; and selectively transmit route update data directly to a remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route.

11 . The one or more machine-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of instructions further cause the compute device to generate, in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route, an alternate route for the second vehicle to avoid the one or more segments of the existing route of the second vehicle that correspond to the segment of the current route; and
wherein to transmit the route update data comprises to transmit the alternate route to the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle.

12 . The one or more machine-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of instructions further cause the compute device to:
determine, in response to a determination of the occurrence of the reference traffic event within the segment of the current route, an alternate route of a plurality of alternate routes for the second vehicle to avoid the one or more segments of the existing route of the second vehicle that correspond to the segment of the current route, wherein each alternate route is associated with a route identifier that identifies each alternate route within the plurality of alternate routes; and determine the route identifier associated with the alternate route determined for the second vehicle, wherein to transmit the route update data comprises to transmit, to the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle, the route identifier associated with the alternate route determined for the second vehicle.

13 . The one or more machine-readable media of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of instructions further cause the compute device to receive, from the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle, one or more of the plurality of alternate routes and the route identifier associated with each of the one or more of the plurality of alternate routes received; and
wherein to determine the alternate route and the associated route identifier for the second vehicle comprises to determine the alternate route and the associated route identifier for the second vehicle from the one or more alternate routes of the plurality of alternate routes received from the remote mobile navigation device of the second vehicle.

14 . The compute device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of instructions further cause the compute device to generate, with a sensor, the sensor data associated with
