Abstract

An approach is provided for determining and presenting a spatial-temporal mobility pattern of a vehicle with respect to a user based on user appointments. A routing platform identifies a user of a vehicle, one or more appointments of the user, or a combination thereof. The routing platform determines a spatial-temporal mobility pattern of the vehicle with respect to the user based on one or more locations, one or more scheduling times, and one or more context, or a combination thereof of the one or more appointments.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying a user of a vehicle, one or more appointments of the user, or a combination thereof; and determining a spatial-temporal mobility pattern of the vehicle with respect to the user based on one or more locations, one or more scheduling times, and one or more context, or a combination thereof of the one or more appointments.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the spatial-temporal mobility pattern include a spatial boundary set for the vehicle corresponding to a respective one of the one or more appointments.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
generating a presentation of the spatial-temporal mobility pattern in a calendar-based view depicting one or more calendar entries of the one or more appointments, a map-based view depicting the one or more locations of the one or more appointments, or a combination thereof.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
detecting via a sensor or receiving an input specifying an update to the one or more appointments; and modifying the spatial-temporal mobility pattern based on the update.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the update includes adding a new appointment, deleting one of the one or more appointments, a change to the one or more locations, the one or more scheduling times, and the one or more context, or a combination thereof of the one or more appointments, or a combination thereof.

6 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
generating a subsequent presentation of the spatial-temporal mobility pattern as modified in the calendar-based view, the map-based view, or a combination thereof.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
highlighting one or more differences between the presentation and the subsequent presentation in the calendar-based view, the map-based view, or a combination thereof.

8 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the presentation includes the calendar-based view and the map-based view in one user interface.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
presenting the update entered via one of the calendar-based view and the map-based view unto the other one of the calendar-based view and the map-based view.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
parsing the one or more appointments from one or more online data sources, one or more offline data sources, or a combination thereof associated with the user.

11 . An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
identify a user of a vehicle, one or more appointments of the user, or a combination thereof; and
determine a spatial-temporal mobility pattern of the vehicle with respect to the user based on one or more locations, one or more scheduling times, and one or more context, or a combination thereof of the one or more appointments.

12 . An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the spatial-temporal mobility pattern include a spatial boundary set for the vehicle corresponding to a respective one of the one or more appointments.

13 . An apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
generate a presentation of the spatial-temporal mobility pattern in a calendar-based view depicting one or more calendar entries of the one or more appointments, a map-based view depicting the one or more locations of the one or more appointments, or a combination thereof.

14 . An apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
detect via a sensor or receiving an input specifying an update to the one or more appointments; and modify the spatial-temporal mobility pattern based on the update.

15 . An apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the update includes adding a new appointment, deleting one of the one or more appointments, a change to the one or more locations, the one or more scheduling times, and the one or more context, or a combination thereof of the one or more appointments, or a combination thereof.

16 . An apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
generate a subsequent presentation of the spatial-temporal mobility pattern as modified in the calendar-based view, the map-based view, or a combination thereof.

17 . An apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
highlight one or more differences between the presentation and the subsequent presentation in the calendar-based view, the map-based view, or a combination thereof.

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
identifying a user of a vehicle, one or more appointments of the user, or a combination thereof; and determining a spatial-temporal mobility pattern of the vehicle with respect to the user based on one or more locations, one or more scheduling times, and one or more context, or a combination thereof of the one or more appointments.

19 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the spatial-temporal mobility pattern include a spatial boundary set for the vehicle corresponding to a respective one of the one or more appointments.

20 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to perform:
generating a presentation of the spatial-temporal mobility pattern in a calendar-based view depicting one or more calendar entries of the one or more appointments, a map-based view depicting the one or more locations of the one or more appointments, or a combination thereof.
