User-centric annotated location aware asset mapping

An apparatus comprising:

• a network interface configured to:
• receive, from a remote computing device, a floor map indicating a structural layout of a predefined physical location, and
• receive, from the remote computing device, a point-of-interest (POI) data structure representing a point-of-interest and point-of-interest metadata associated with the point-of-interest,
• wherein the point-of-interest data structure includes a location of an associated POI that is associated with the point-of-interest, and
• wherein the point-of-interest metadata includes a point-of-interest type indicating a type of the associated POI, and a point-of-interest status indicating the status of the associated POI;
• a processor configured to generate an annotated floor map, based upon the floor map and including a point-of-interest indicator, wherein the point-of-interest indicator is placed on the floor map at the location of an associated point of interest and indicates both the type of the associated point of interest and at least part of the status of the associated point of interest;
• and
• a display interface configured to display at least a portion of the annotated floor map.

A computer program product for asset management, the computer program product being tangibly and non-transitorily embodied on a computer-readable medium and including executable code that, when executed, is configured to cause an apparatus to:

• receive, from a remote computing device, a floor map indicating a structural layout of a predefined physical location;
• receive, from the remote computing device, a point-of-interest (POI) data structure representing a point-of-interest and point-of-interest metadata associated with the point-of-interest,
• wherein the point-of-interest data structure includes a location of an associated POI that is associated with the point-of-interest, and
• wherein the point-of-interest metadata includes a point-of-interest type indicating a type of the associated POI, and a point-of-interest status indicating the status of the associated POI;
• generate an annotated floor map, based upon the floor map and including a point-of-interest indicator, wherein the point-of-interest indicator is placed on the floor map at the location of an associated point of interest and indicates both the type of the associated point of interest and at least part of the status of the associated point of interest;
• and
• display, via a display interface, at least a portion of the annotated floor map.
