Dynamic update condition, then do not perform and automatically update issue, and perform inspection in step 470.
In step 450, navigation engine 330 receives and its position (and other) data is supplied to by GPS 320, and should
Positional information is associated with navigation information and/or data.For example, the position of receive information can be associated with by navigation engine 330
GPS 320 is simultaneously associated with navigation information, to produce associated navigation-position data.In specific embodiment, lead
Boat engine 330 can use map and running data, by POI and traveling statistical correlation to 320 positional informationes of GPS.Navigation engine is also
The friend position provided by social networkies client computer 340 can be associated with 320 positional informationes of GPS.Navigation engine 330 accesses POI
Information, and the positional information of mobile subscriber is compared with the position of POI.In this way, for example, navigation engine 330 can
Identify mobile subscriber in which (which) POI within the distance being pre-selected, and/or may recognize that or quickly
By the one or more friends positioned at the vicinity of the mobile subscriber.Navigation engine 330 can be also calculated from the position of mobile subscriber
Reach the running time of specific POI and/or friend position, and reach the remaining time of programmed route destination, with
And other navigation statistics.Associated navigation-position data is passed to social networkies client computer 340 to enter by navigation engine 330
Row is processed.
Using the associated navigation-position data, inspection can be performed to user data, to determine whether issue all
Such as automatically updating for location updating.For example, if user data is expected within the final route destination of user distance 10 minutes
Shi Fabu is automatically updated, then can make the determination using associated navigation-position data.Or, user is possible to want
In user each time through certain types of POI or friend when carry out automatically updating issue.Associated navigation-positional number
According to may be alternatively used for being determined.In fact, depending on the time and/or depending on position statistics combination in any all can by with
Family is designed to issue the condition for automatically updating.In this way, user can predefine and/or be preset in when and/or
Issue the condition for automatically updating in where.
As discussed before, if automatically updating condition satisfaction, issue is automatically updated.Social networkies client computer
The content and form of 340 pairs of navigation datas for being received is processed.In specific embodiment, the process of content and form
It is (for example, to issue filter according to the rule for issuing criterion and social networkies and/or according to the user data retrieved in step 410
Ripple device and/or the Privacy Options of mobile subscriber), navigation data is transformed into for one of one or more social networkies or
More issues.Processed data is supplied to communication interface 350 by social networkies client computer 340.Communication interface 350 can be by Jing

Network.In specific embodiment, without limited significance, processed data may include, e.g., which mobile subscriber will go to
In and mobile subscriber wherefrom set out.Which may include, e.g., near POI, or will reach near POI.Which may include navigation
Data and route statistics, e.g., reach the time or route past time of final destination.These only automatically update issue
Example, and be not meant to be construed as limiting the scope of appended claims.
If in step 470, not carrying out extra issue, then the flow process proceeds to step 430 and stops.Specific
In embodiment, when apart from final route destination a certain distance or within the time, user may only want to issue one
Automatically update.After the issue is performed, will can terminate without other issues, and flow process.If however, user want it is every on the way
All issue at individual POI and automatically update, then navigation engine 330 is possible to learn and whether also have POI, and ought not have on the way along the route
In the presence of there are other POI, then other issues will not be carried out, and the flow process will stop.
If in step 470, will carry out extra issue, then the flow process proceeds to step 480, at this step, will
The next one is waited to automatically update inspection.The wait can be time-based (for example, from 0 to several seconds or a few minutes etc.), can be with
It is, based on distance (for example, per 1 meter/mile to being checked per several meters/mile, etc.), or can have some other bases
Accurate (for example, being checked when POI on the way every time).Frequency is checked regardless of automatically updating, when needs are checked
When, flow process returns to step 440 to obtain position (and other) data, then continues from the step, as discussed before.
Although discussing the flow process according to the functional block diagram in Fig. 4, however, it is to be appreciated that the flow process can be in software
