Abstract
A method includes, determining a zoom level for a selected portion of an electronic map, harvesting map data from the selected section the electronic map, determining building information from the harvested map data, obtaining branding information for the building information, and a user device receiving and populating said zoomed section of the electronic map with the branding information.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- determining a zoom level for a selected portion of an electronic map,
- harvesting map data from the selected section the electronic map,
- determining building information from the harvested map data,
- obtaining branding information for the building information, and
- a user device receiving and populating said zoomed section of the electronic map with the branding information.
2 more elements
A computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- a location determining module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to determine the location of an user on an electronic map,
- a map interaction engine operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to zoom a selected selection of said electronic map,
- a selection module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to harvest map data from said selected section of said electronic map,
- a building directory module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to determine building information from said harvested map data,
- a branding engine operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to obtain branding information for said building information within said zoomed section of said electronic map, and
- a population module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, populating said zoomed section of said electronic map with said branding information around said location of said user.
