SYNCHRONIZING NEIGHBORING TILES IN A HIGH DEFINITION MAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17733948 titled 'SYNCHRONIZING NEIGHBORING TILES IN A HIGH DEFINITION MAP
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for synchronizing neighboring tiles in an electronic map.
- Neighboring tiles of the electronic map are grouped into multiple tile groups.
- A first tile group and a second tile group that border each other are selected.
- If a feature crosses between the first and second tile groups, the method independently optimizes each group.
- The borders of the first and second tile groups are shifted to join the corresponding tiles in the other group.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for synchronizing neighboring tiles in an electronic map is described. The method includes grouping neighboring tiles of the electronic map into a plurality of tile groups. The method also includes selecting a first tile group and a second tile group that border one another on at least a first tile in the first tile group and a second tile in the second tile group. The method further includes independently optimizing the first tile group and the second tile group if a feature crosses between the first tile group and the second tile group. The method also includes shifting a border of the first tile group and a border of the second tile group to join the first tile and the second tile in the second tile group or the first tile group.
