194 results about "Geographic database" patented technology

Geographic database. A collection of spatial data and related descriptive data organized for efficient storage and retrieval by many users. Many datasets and whole databases are often collected and maintained in latitude-longitude.

Unified geographic database and method of creating, maintaining and using the same

The present invention involves a Universal Geographic Database (“UGD”). The UGD is an automated, central or distributed, registry of real-world locations and location-related information for businesses and other entities, analogous to the registry of domain names for Internet and web sites. By this central registry, businesses and other entities are facilitated to post their location and location-related information in a single place, for all users who need or want it; and users can refer to this single place, via the Internet, Web, and other telecommunications devices, to obtain accurate, complete and timely location and location-based information about the registered businesses and other entities. Each record of the UGD is keyed by a proprietary location address (PLA) based on the World Geographic Referencing System (WGRS), and optionally may have one or more proprietary location addresses (PLAs), which also may serve as keys. Associated with the PLA keys, each UGD record generally includes the full name for the business or other entity, its street address, and miscellaneous contact information (e.g., telephone number, facsimile number, e-mail address, internet website address, wireless website address). Other more dynamic, customized information (e.g., store hours, credit cards accepted, inventory, prices, specials, hours, parking) also may be available in the UGD record or linked to the UGD record. Users of any device or service can access the UGD through one or more location name servers (LNS), which can provide access to the UGD or other location-based information linked to the UGD or LNS. Based on the WGRS, PLAs provide, in addition to unique keys for UGD records, a user-friendly notation for location naming in the real-world and on all types of location-sensitive electronic devices, from web phones to in-car navigation systems. Given the UGD, these ULA/PLAs are as important to real-world businesses as their domain names because these WGRS addresses drive real-world commerce to physical business locations just as domain names drive e-commerce Internet or web sites.

Method and system for using real-time traffic broadcasts with navigation systems

A system and method are disclosed that allow a navigation system that uses a geographic database to also use the data in traffic messages broadcast by a traffic broadcast system. One aspect of a present system and method includes the formation, storage, and use of location reference data records in a geographic database used by a navigation system. These location reference data records identify certain other kinds of data records that represent physical geographic features, such as data records that represent segments of roads, as being associated with certain location reference numbers. These location reference records may be included in a geographic database installed in the vehicle or may be provided to vehicles via a wireless communication link. Another aspect of a present system and method includes the formation, storage, and use of one or more indices that relate location reference numbers used by a traffic broadcast system to location reference records in a geographic database used by the navigation system. Another aspect of a present system and method is the formation, storage, and use of data that identify, for each location reference number, the immediately previous and the immediately next location reference number. Still another aspect of a present system and method includes the programming, and methods of use thereof, that query the geographic database and return the data entities associated with certain identified location reference numbers.

Face identification and radio frequency identification based monitoring and tracking system

InactiveCN105913037AThere will be no monitoring omissionsMobile information database makes query easyCo-operative working arrangementsCharacter and pattern recognitionGeolocationGeolocation database
The invention discloses a face identification and radio frequency identification based monitoring and tracking system which comprises a monitoring server, a person's moving information query terminal, video image acquiring devices and a RFID reader. The monitoring server is provided with a video image acquiring device and RFID reader geographical database, a person's characteristics information database, a person's moving information database and a face identification module. The video image acquiring device and RFID reader geographic database is used to store the geographical information of the video image acquiring devices and the RFID reader. The person's characteristics information database is used to record a person's face characteristics data and RFID label information. The person's moving information database is used to record the moving information of a person, and the person's moving information query terminal is designed for people to enquire the moving information of a targeted person. The system is capable of achieving whole course tracking to all people entering a monitoring zone and can rapidly tell the whereabouts of a targeted person in the monitoring zone.
