METHOD AND SERVER FOR GENERATING SPATIAL MAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18370595 titled 'METHOD AND SERVER FOR GENERATING SPATIAL MAP

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves providing a personalized spatial map by aligning two different spatial maps and generating a new map based on the differences identified between them.

  • Obtaining a first spatial map with map features representing spatial information about a space
  • Obtaining a second spatial map based on sensor data obtained by measuring the space
  • Identifying map features for map alignment from the first and second maps
  • Aligning the two maps based on the identified features
  • Identifying local areas with differences between the two maps
  • Generating a personalized spatial map based on the differences identified

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in indoor navigation systems, augmented reality applications, and personalized mapping services.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of inaccuracies in spatial maps by aligning multiple maps and generating a personalized map based on the differences identified.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in spatial mapping, personalized mapping services, and enhanced user experience in navigation applications.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Enhanced Indoor Navigation Systems Using Personalized Spatial Maps"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of sensor data for generating spatial maps in navigation systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle real-time updates in spatial information?

The method described in the abstract focuses on aligning two spatial maps and generating a personalized map based on the identified differences. However, it does not address how real-time updates in spatial information are handled and integrated into the personalized map.

What are the limitations of this technology in terms of scalability to large spaces?

While the method described in the abstract is effective in aligning spatial maps and generating personalized maps, it may face limitations in scalability when applied to large spaces. The abstract does not provide information on how the technology addresses scalability issues.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a method, performed by a server, of providing a personalized spatial map, the method comprising: obtaining a first spatial map including first map features representing spatial information about a space; obtaining a second spatial map based on sensor data obtained by measuring the space, the second spatial map including second map features; identifying third map features for map alignment from among the first map features and the second map features; aligning the first spatial map and the second spatial map, based on the identified third map features; identifying local areas in the space where at least one difference exists between the first spatial map and the second spatial map; and generating the personalized spatial map by identifying pieces of spatial information about the local areas based on the second map features.
