Issues getting home, to a hotel, or to a friend's house in the wee hours could get easier with Samsung's new patented technology covering a means for transmitting a desired destination location on a cell phone at the push of a button.
Many cell phones have GPS tracking embedded in them. While players are exploring ways to use it for put-you-on-the-map features, Samsung developed a way to leverage this thinking about ease of use.
For details, the patent covers the concept of retrieving an address, from your contact listing as an example, holding a button, collecting GPS information about where you are and providing directions from where you are to where you want to be by holding down a single button. That's it.
Services that could build from this:
Plaxo selling a service to get off someone's contact directory
Taco Bell, Starbucks, et al vying to get on a someone's contact directory |
