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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118103 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 in local areas.

  • 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 in local areas

Potential Applications

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

Problems Solved

This method solves the problem of inaccuracies in spatial maps by aligning multiple sources of spatial data and generating a more accurate and personalized map.

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

Potential commercial applications of this technology include indoor mapping services for shopping malls, airports, museums, and other large indoor spaces.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of sensor data for indoor mapping and navigation systems in various industries.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle real-time updates to the personalized spatial map?

The abstract does not mention how the system deals with real-time changes in the space being mapped and how these updates are reflected in the personalized spatial map.

What types of sensors are used to obtain the sensor data for generating the second spatial map?

The abstract does not specify the types of sensors used to collect data for the second spatial map, which could impact the accuracy and quality of the generated personalized map.


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.
