Abstract
A method of locating preferred services includes searching an augmented spatial index, which is based on a user's determined preferred services. Additionally, the method includes indicating a location of a currently-sought preferred service.
Claims13
A method of locating preferred services, comprising:
- searching an augmented spatial index, which is based on a user's determined preferred services, the searching comprising:
- constructing a user vector indicating one or more currently-sought preferred services identified by a unique identifier;
- and
- performing a matching method of the user vector and a matching vector of a node within a boundary, wherein the matching method comprises determining if the unique identifier of the user vector corresponds with a unique identifier of the matching vector;
- and
- indicating a location of the one or more currently-sought preferred services based on the matching method.

A system comprising:
- a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media;
- program instructions to search an augmented spatial index, which is based on a user's determined preferred services, the searching comprising:
- constructing a user vector indicating one or more currently-sought preferred services identified by a unique identifier;
- and
- performing a matching method of the user vector and a matching vector of the node within a boundary, wherein the matching method comprises determining if the unique identifier of the user vector corresponds with a unique identifier of the matching vector;
- and
- program instructions to indicate a location of the one or more currently-sought preferred services, when the unique identifier of the user vector corresponds with a unique identifier of the matching vector
- wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.
