Methods and systems for wireless acquisition and presentation of local spatial information

Abstract

A system for wireless acquisition and presentation of local spatial information includes a portable computing device in communication with a wireless receiver, the portable computing device designed and configured to receive a first signal from a first transmitter at a first location, parse the first signal for at least a textual element, extract, from the at least a textual element, an identifier of the first transmitter, establish a spatial bounding constraint as a function of the identifier, retrieve regional descriptive data from a spatial information data structure as a function of the identifier, wherein the regional descriptive data describes information within the spatial bounding constraint, generate a local area description as a function of the regional descriptive data and the spatial bounding constraint, and present the local area description to a user of the portable computing device.
