Design of a Car Navigation System that Predicts User Destination

Because of advances in information technologies, car navigation systems have come into widespread use as useful tools to guide drivers where they want to go. Conventional car navigation systems present the most suitable route according to a destination input into the system. However, since the required operation to input the destination costs so much, users do not usually use car navigation systems for daily driving. In this paper, to exploit the effective functions of car navigation systems, we propose a new system that automatically predicts user purpose and destination. The proposed car navigation system presents various information based on predicted purpose without interaction from users.
