MAP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346009 titled 'MAP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The patent application describes a map management system that utilizes a blockchain framework to update map data based on information collected from vehicles in a specific area.
- The system includes multiple servers, each with a storage unit recording a blockchain and a processor storing map update data in the blockchain.
- The map update data is generated from data gathered from vehicles in the area and is verified against a predetermined verification policy using the blockchain framework.
- Valid map update data is then used to update the map data, ensuring accuracy and relevance.
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems - Autonomous vehicles - Urban planning and development
Problems Solved: - Ensures up-to-date and accurate map data - Streamlines the process of updating maps based on real-time information
Benefits: - Improved navigation accuracy - Enhanced safety for autonomous vehicles - Efficient urban development planning
Commercial Applications: Title: "Blockchain-Powered Map Management System for Enhanced Navigation" This technology can be used by companies developing navigation systems, autonomous vehicles, and urban planning agencies to improve map accuracy and update efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the blockchain framework ensure the validity of map update data? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system on a large scale?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in blockchain technology and its applications in map management systems for potential improvements in accuracy and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
a map management system includes a plurality of servers that manage map data of a predetermined area. the plurality of servers each include: a storage that records a block chain; and a processor that stores, in the block chain, map update data for updating the map data, the map update data being generated based on data collected from a plurality of vehicles traveling in the area. the processor conducts verification of whether or not a plurality of pieces of map update data satisfy a predetermined verification policy by using a framework of the block chain, and updates the map data by selectively using map update data determined, as a result of the verification, as satisfying the verification policy and thus being valid, among the plurality of pieces of map update data.
