METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING TIME VALID LOCATION BASED INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236698 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING TIME VALID LOCATION BASED INFORMATION
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for providing time-valid location-based information by defining cells in an environment with specific location ranges, validity time intervals, semantic location data, and executable code instructions for determining time-valid information.
- The method involves defining cells in an environment with specific location ranges and validity time intervals.
- Each cell contains semantic location data relevant to the location it represents.
- Executable code instructions are included in each cell to enable the determination of time-valid location-based information.
- The information provided by the method is valid within the predetermined validity time interval.
- The method is designed to be executed by a first edge computing apparatus located near the respective location.
Potential Applications: - Location-based services - Real-time tracking and monitoring systems - Geofencing applications - Emergency response systems - Traffic management solutions
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of location-based information - Optimizing resource allocation based on real-time location data - Enhancing the efficiency of location-based services - Improving the overall user experience with location-aware applications
Benefits: - Increased accuracy and reliability of location-based information - Enhanced real-time decision-making capabilities - Improved operational efficiency in various industries - Enhanced user experience with location-based services
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Location-Based Services for Real-Time Decision Making" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as transportation, logistics, emergency services, and retail to improve operational efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and enable real-time decision-making based on accurate location data.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method ensure the validity of location-based information within the defined time intervals? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented method can provide time-valid location-based information. the method comprises: for an environment, defining a plurality of cells, each cell comprising: a respective location with a range based on a geographical extent of the respective cell within the environment; a respective predetermined validity-time-interval; respective semantic-location-data relevant to the respective location; respective executable code instructions configured to operate on the respective semantic-location-data to enable determination of respective time-valid location-based information upon execution of the respective code instructions by a first edge computing apparatus proximal to the respective location. the respective time-valid location-based information is valid within the respective predetermined validity-time-interval.
