Map Interface Location Set Generation From Source Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing map software requires complex manual operations for generating location information sets, leading to low efficiency in creating these sets.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that automatically extracts location information from user-specified source information, displaying it on a map interface with a set information region, thereby simplifying the process and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual operations are used to add location information to a location set, then the user has control over the information added, but the efficiency of generating the location information set is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts location information from source information (such as text descriptions or images) without requiring manual input from the user. The electronic device performs the extraction and generation tasks autonomously, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user intervention for each location addition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (clicking, typing, selecting locations one by one) with an automated information extraction system that uses algorithms to identify and extract location data from source information, thereby substituting human manual work with an automated processing mechanism.
2Productivity
If automatic extraction of location information is implemented, then the efficiency of generating location information sets is improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary extraction module that acts as a bridge between the source information and the location information set. This intermediary component handles the complex extraction logic, isolating the complexity from the user interface and the core set management functions, thereby managing system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: a module for determining source information, a module for extracting location information from that source, and a module for generating the location information set. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity through modular design.

AI summary
A location set generation method includes: determining location set source information in response to a trigger operation on a location set creation entry on an application program interface; extracting location information from the location set source information, and generating, by using the extracted location information, a location information set associated with the location set source information; displaying a map interface, where the map interface includes a map information region and a set information region; and adding marks to a plurality of locations in the location information set, displaying, in the map information region, the plurality of locations and the marks, and displaying the location information set in the set information region.
