Abstract
A location of an item is marked on a digital interactive map. The user of a portable electronic device with a touch sensitive display that shows a digital interactive map may touch for a finite time a spot on the map that corresponds to the location. The digital interactive map records the location of the item, its GPS coordinates, the floor of the building, and other associated meta data.
Claims18
A method for marking and recording a location of an item on a digital interactive map, comprising:
- (a) providing the digital interactive map on a portable electronic device with a touch-sensitive display;
- (b) displaying the digital interactive map on a web browser as presented on the touch sensitive display and/or some other display;
- and
- (c) allowing a user to enter the location of the item by a point of contact for a finite amount of time on the digital interactive map,
- thereby recording the item and the location on the digital interactive map.
A system for moving a location of a representation of a real item on a three-dimensional electronic digital interactive map, comprising:
- the digital interactive map provided on a touch sensitive device display having the real item represented at a location on the map;
- a display means for displaying the digital interactive map as a web browser or mobile application as presented on the touch sensitive display;
- and
- means that allow user to change the location of the item by a point of contact through touch of the display for a finite amount of time on the digital interactive map,
- thereby allowing for optionally substantially instantaneous updating of a changed location of the item's representation on the digital interactive map.
A device for providing to a user a navigation path to a representation of a real item relative to a building on a digital interactive map, comprising:
- a web-based or a nonweb-based digital interactive map provided as hardware and optional software in a handheld device that has touch sensitive display,
- wherein the map contains the representation of the real item at a location on the map, and the map contains information regarding a building's layout;
- a means for locating the user relative the representation of the item on the map;
- and
- a means for drawing a navigation path for the user on the digital interactive map to the item relative to a layout of the building.
