Method and system for a network mapping service
| DWPI Title: Method for publishing map, involves providing access to map data sources or mapping services that provide mapping information, accessing published map by subscriber, and accessing geographic information system data by subscriber |
| Abstract: A method and system of publishing a map includes providing access to a plurality of map data files or mapping services between at least one publisher and at least one subscriber; defining a map in a map context comprising parameters and descriptors to substantially duplicate a map by reference to mutually accessible data or mapping services, publishing a map to a channel in a table file on server; accessing the channel by at least one subscriber, transmitting the mapping context from the server to the at least one subscriber, executing the map context by the at least one subscriber, and generating the map on a display software associated with the at least one subscriber by reconstituting the map from the references and other data in the mapping context. |
| Use: Method for publishing a map, particularly for providing Internet communication and mapping service for subscribers. |
| Advantage: The access is provided to multiple map data sources or mapping services that provide mapping information, and the published map is accessed by a subscriber, thus enables to share the full exact map including all dynamic abilities to pan, zoom, modify content, and republish repeatedly across unlimited numbers of groups through unlimited discrete channels, and thus allows users to plan, make logistical decisions or to collaborate on any problem, need, or informative function by being able to share the full function, content, context and capabilities, live and in a broadcast or push environment. |
| Novelty: The method involves providing access to multiple map data sources or mapping services that provide mapping information that provides content for a map to a publisher. A map is published (206) by uploading a map including mapping information including descriptors including a channel name and parameters that reference map content and map to a file or database server by a publisher. The published map is accessed (208) by a subscriber. A sequence number is assigned to the map by the file or database server. The geographic information system data is accessed directly by the subscriber. |
