Abstract
Provided is a computer system and method for mapping a visual path. The method includes receiving one or more images included in a predefined area; receiving one or more parameters associated with the image; and integrating the images and parameters into a map of the predefined area to enable mapping the visual path through the predefined area in response to one or more input path parameters.
Claims22
A method for a display device to receive a mapped visual path, the method comprising:
- transmitting a request for the mapped visual path, the request including at least two input path parameters associated with the mapped visual image path;
- the transmitting including:
- transmitting a location parameter as one of the at least two input path parameters;
- transmitting a time parameter as one of the at least two input path parameters;
- and
- receiving from a processing device the mapped visual image path, wherein the mapped visual path including -at least two images of a predefined area identified by the at least two input path parameters, the mapped visual path being an integration of the at least two images and the at least two input path parameters;
- and displaying the mapped visual path, the mapped visual path including the at least two images after a stitching operation is performed on the at least two images.

A computer program product comprising:
- computer readable media bearing computer executable instructions including:
- at least two instructions for transmitting a request for the mapped visual path, the request including one or more input path parameters associated with the mapped visual path, including:
- at least two instruction for transmitting a location parameter as one of the at least two input path parameters;
- at least two instruction for transmitting a time parameter as one of the at least two input path parameters;
- and
- at least two instructions for receiving from a processing device a mapped visual path, the mapped visual path including at least two images of a predefined area identified by the at least two input path parameters, the mapped visual path being an integration of the at least two images and the at least two input path parameters, including;
- at least two instructions for displaying the mapped visual path, the mapped visual path being scrollable with respect to the predefined area.
