DYNAMIC SCALING OF GEOSPATIAL DATA ON MAPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200965 titled 'DYNAMIC SCALING OF GEOSPATIAL DATA ON MAPS
The patent application describes methods, systems, and computer-readable media for displaying a geographical map overlaid with markers and adjusting the zoom level of the map.
- The innovation allows users to change the zoom level of the map from one scale to another and display the map accordingly.
- The marker layer is also adjusted based on the map scale, with markers changing size in correlation with the scale.
- The marker size increases or decreases in the same direction as the map scale within a specific range, ensuring a consistent ratio change between marker sizes.
- This technology aims to provide a more intuitive and visually appealing experience for users interacting with geographical maps.
Potential Applications: - Navigation and mapping applications - Location-based services - Geographic data visualization tools
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience with interactive maps - Improving the clarity and readability of markers on maps
Benefits: - Improved usability and user engagement - Enhanced visualization of geographical data - Customizable map display options for users
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Geographical Mapping Technology for Navigation Apps This technology can be utilized in navigation apps, location-based services, and GIS platforms to provide users with a more interactive and user-friendly mapping experience. The market implications include increased user adoption, improved customer satisfaction, and potential partnerships with mapping software providers.
Questions about Geographical Mapping Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user interaction with geographical maps?
- The technology allows users to easily adjust the zoom level and marker sizes on maps, providing a more intuitive and customizable experience.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond navigation apps?
- This technology can be applied in various industries such as urban planning, logistics, and tourism for enhanced data visualization and location-based services.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to display a geographical map overlaid with a marker layer comprising at least one marker; receive input from a user to change a zoom level of the geographical map from a first map scale to a second map scale; display the geographical map at the second map scale; and overlay the marker layer at the second map scale with the at least one marker at a second marker size. the second marker size is determined based on a correlation between the second map scale and the second marker size, in which (i) the second marker size is increased or decreased in the same direction as the second map scale when the second map scale is within a range from a low threshold point to a high threshold point, and (ii) a ratio change between two adjacent marker sizes is smaller than a ratio change between two corresponding adjacent map scales when the second marker size is outside the range from the low threshold point to the high threshold point.
