Map Service Region Information Extraction and Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current map services require users to separately connect to a search service and then a map service to retrieve and verify region information, which is inconvenient and not regularly used due to the difficulty in service usage patterns.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that automatically stores region information from postings bookmarked or shared by users, allowing for personalized map services by extracting and displaying point of interest information on a map service screen, with features like shortcut adding, capturing, copying, and sharing capabilities, and providing push notifications when the user is near the stored region.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually search for and store region information in map service, then region information can be stored, but the service becomes difficult to use and not regularly utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically extracting and storing region information from postings before users need it. When a user views a posting with location data, the system proactively captures the region information and stores it in association with the user's account, so that the information is ready for immediate use without manual intervention later.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically extracting region information from postings and storing it without requiring user action. The system monitors posting content, identifies location data, and autonomously saves it to the user's map service, eliminating the need for users to manually search and store region information.
2Loss of information
If users connect to search service then map service to retrieve region information, then complete information can be obtained, but the service complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the search service and map service functionalities by integrating region information extraction directly into the posting viewing experience. When users view postings, the system simultaneously handles search-related information extraction and map service data storage, combining what were previously separate service connections into a unified automated process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the search service and map service by automatically extracting region information from postings and transferring it to the map service. This intermediary function eliminates the need for users to manually connect and navigate between separate services, as the system bridges them automatically in the background.
3Ease of operation
If automatic storage of region information is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but additional system capabilities are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves multi-functionality by using the existing posting viewing infrastructure to perform multiple tasks: displaying posting content, extracting region information, and storing it in the map service. The same interface and data flow that display posting information is also used to capture and save location data, eliminating the need for separate dedicated extraction and storage systems.

AI summary
Provided is a method, apparatus, system, and/or computer readable medium for providing a map service. The map providing method may include extracting region information attached to a posting in response to an execution of a storage capability or a sharing capability by a user to the posting displayed on a page accessible to a computer, storing address information of the posting and the extracted region information associated with the user, and displaying a point of interest corresponding to the region information on a map service screen associated with the user.
