Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for transferring maps to a mobile device without network connectivity using matrix bar codes or other passive data media are presented. In some embodiments, such a method may include receiving data from an image scanner configured to scan a bar code, the data comprising a complete encoded map; processing the data to generate a decoded map; and displaying the decoded map to a user.
Claims29
A method comprising:
- receiving data from an image sensor configured to scan a bar code, the bar code comprising a complete encoded map;
- processing the data to generate a decoded map;
- and
- displaying the decoded map to a user.
An apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor configured to scan bar code and transmit data stored in the bar code, the bar code comprising a complete encoded map;
- a processor configured to:
- receive the data;
- determine a decoded map based on the data;
- output a display signal;
- and
- a display configured to receive the display signal and display the decoded map to a user.
A non-transient computer readable medium comprising program code, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- receive data from an image sensor configured to scan a bar code, the data comprising a complete encoded map;
- process the data to generate a decoded map;
- and
- display the decoded map to a user.
An apparatus comprising:
- a sensing means configured to scan a bar code and transmit data stored in the bar code, the bar code comprising a complete encoded map;
- a processing means configured to:
- receive the data;
- determine a decoded map based on the data;
- output a display signal;
- and
- a display means configured to receive the display signal and display the decoded map to a user.
