US 2026/0063429 A1 · METHOD AND APPLICATION FOR FORMING A CUSTOMIZED ELECTRONIC MAP FOR OPTIMIZING A REAL TIME ROUTE IN OUTDOOR AND INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forming or modifying a customized electronic map of a combined electronic map for an optimized way finding application. The method comprises receiving a floor plan or plans of different floors of a facility or a ground plan of an outdoor area in electronic form, forming movement paths from a plurality of points to a plurality of points for forming a movement path network, adding movement information to the floor plan or the floor plans or the ground plan, and adding additional information to the floor plan or the floor plans or the ground plan. The invention further relates to an electronic device and a computer program product performing the method. In addition, the invention also relates to a method for optimizing a route in a combined electronic map comprising an electronic outdoor and a customized electronic indoor or outdoor map by an optimized way finding application and an electronic device and a computer program product performing the method.

A computer implemented method for optimizing a route in a combined electronic map comprising an electronic outdoor map and a customized electronic indoor map or a customized electronic outdoor map by an optimized way finding application, and which the combined electronic map comprises additional information comprising a place, where a route in the combined electronic map is configured to be continued between the outdoor map and the customized electronic map, the method comprises:

receiving a starting point for the route, if not using a location application for defining the starting point or if the starting point is not predetermined by a weblink or a machine readable code used for opening the optimized way finding application;
receiving a destination of a user, if not predetermined by a weblink or a machine readable code used for opening the optimized way finding application;
optimizing the route to the destination from the starting point;
and
displaying the route on the map, wherein the route continues from outdoor environment into and inside a facility of the customized electronic indoor map or from outdoor environment to and inside an area without street addresses of the customized electronic outdoor map through the place defined in the additional information.
