Embodiment Construction

[0083] figure 1 An example overview of the position identification and transmission system 1 of the invention is shown.

[0084] System 1 includes system user equipment 2 and central server 3 . The user equipment 2 includes a smart phone 2a and a personal computer (PC) 2b, and each user equipment 2 (that is, the user smart phone 2a and the user PC 2b) can communicate with the central server 3 through the Internet 4. Although only in the figure 1 Three user smartphones 2a and a single user PC 2b are shown in , however it should be understood that in practice the system 1 may comprise a large number of user devices 2, for example, a large number of user smartphones 2a and user PC 2b.

[0085] figure 2 An example of a user's smartphone 2a in the system 1 is shown in more detail. Such as figure 2 As shown, the user's smartphone 2a includes a data processor 10, a visual display 11, a user interface 12, a speaker 13 and a microphone 14, wherein the user interface 12 allows inp...

Abstract

A method of producing a location identifier comprising: obtaining the geographical coordinates of a location; converting the geographical coordinates into single unique value n; converting the single unique value n into a unique group of a plurality of values; converting the plurality of values into an equal plurality of respective words; and providing the plurality of words as a location identifier, and a method of identifying a location comprising: obtaining a location identifier for a location, the location identifier comprising a plurality of words; converting the plurality of words into a unique group of an equal plurality of respective values; converting the unique group of a plurality of values into a single unique value n; converting the single unique value n into geographical coordinates; and outputting the geographical coordinates.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for identifying and communicating locations, and in particular, to methods and devices for identifying and communicating locations in a human-friendly manner. Background technique [0002] In recent years, satellite-based positioning systems have become more and more common, and positioning systems can be used to determine the location of devices with positioning systems with high accuracy. Satellite-based positioning systems are often incorporated into smartphones or similar mobile communication devices and / or general-purpose computing devices as well as into specialized navigation devices. [0003] It is relatively common to identify locations using geometric numerical coordinates (such as latitude and longitude coordinates or grid coordinates), which are typically used by satellite-based positioning systems to identify locations. For example, the GPS system identifies locations using GPS coordina...
