Abstract

A client device is operated to obtain a navigation track between a first location and a second location by establishing a communication connection with a server device and receiving a message that contains information associated with the first location and/or the second location from the server device. The information is associated with a navigation module on the client device. The information associated with the first location and/or the second location is processed using the navigation module to obtain the navigation track between the first location and the second location.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . A method, comprising:
 establishing a communication connection with a client device; and   sending a message, responsive to the establishing of the communication connection, to the client device that contains information associated with one of a first geographic location and a second geographic location to the client device, the information being associated with a navigation module on the client device to allow the client device to process the information and to determine a navigation track between the first geographic location and the second geographic location.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 receiving from the client device one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location before sending the message.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the information associated with one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location comprises a waypoint between the first geographic location and the second geographic location;
 wherein the information is an attachment to the message.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the navigation track between the first geographic location and the second geographic location includes the waypoint. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the message comprises one of a Short Message Service text message and an electronic mail. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the first geographic location is a current geographic location of the client device. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein neither of the first geographic location and second geographic location is a current geographic location of the client device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the information associated with one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location comprises global positioning system information. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the global positioning system information is encoded in a Global Positioning System eXchange format. 
     
     
         13 . A system, comprising:
 a processor;   a memory coupled to the processor and having computer executable code stored on the memory that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:   establishing a communication connection with a client device; and   sending a message, responsive to the establishing of the communication connection, to the client device that contains information associated with one of a first geographic location and a second geographic location to the client device, the information being associated with a navigation module on the client device to allow the client device to process the information and to determine a navigation track between the first geographic location and the second geographic location.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving from the client device one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location before sending the message.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the information associated with one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location comprises a waypoint between the first geographic location and the second geographic location;
 wherein the information is an attachment to the message.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the navigation track between the first geographic location and the second geographic location includes the waypoint. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the message comprises one of a Short Message Service text message and an electronic mail. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the first geographic location is a current geographic location of the client device. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein neither of the first geographic location and second geographic location is a current geographic location of the client device. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the information associated with one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location comprises global positioning system information. 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 20 , wherein the global positioning system information is encoded in a Global Positioning System eXchange format. 
     
     
         22 . A computer program product, comprising:
 a tangible computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code stored on the computer readable medium that when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:   establishing a communication connection with a client device; and   sending a message, responsive to the establishing of the communication connection, to the client device that contains information associated with one of a first geographic location and a second geographic location to the client device, the information being associated with a navigation module on the client device to allow the client device to process the information and to determine a navigation track between the first geographic location and the second geographic location.   
     
     
         23 . The computer program product of  claim 22 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving from the client device one of the first geographic location and the second geographic location before sending the message.
