METHOD AND DEVICE FOR UPDATING AND PROVIDING A MAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18530532 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR UPDATING AND PROVIDING A MAP

The abstract describes a method and device for updating and providing a map based on data received from multiple vehicles.

  • Data sets from vehicles include environment and position data values.
  • Data sets are assigned to different groups based on position indication.
  • Subregions of the map are updated based on the quantity of data sets in each group.
  • The map is created and provided based on the updated subregions.

Potential Applications: - Navigation systems for vehicles - Traffic management systems - Autonomous driving technology

Problems Solved: - Efficient map updating based on real-time data - Accurate positioning of vehicles on the map

Benefits: - Improved accuracy in navigation - Real-time updates for traffic conditions - Enhanced safety for autonomous vehicles

Commercial Applications: Title: Real-Time Map Updating Technology for Autonomous Vehicles This technology can be used in the development of autonomous vehicles, transportation logistics, and smart city infrastructure.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of maps for navigation? - This technology utilizes real-time data from vehicles to update maps, ensuring precise positioning and up-to-date information for navigation systems.

2. What are the potential implications of this technology for autonomous driving? - This technology can significantly enhance the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles by providing accurate maps and real-time updates for navigation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and device for updating and providing a map. The method includes receiving a plurality of data sets from a plurality of vehicles, wherein each data set comprises environment data values and position data values, wherein the environment data values represent an environment of the corresponding vehicle, wherein the position data values represent a position indication of the corresponding vehicle; a assigning the data sets to different data set groups depending on the position indication, wherein each data set group is assigned to a subregion of the map; updating all subregions of the map in which the corresponding data set groups comprise a sufficient quantity of data sets according to predefined criteria; creating the map depending on the updated subregions; and providing the map.
