1Ease of operation
If manual link generation between panoramic image data is used, then users can confirm actual images and search for detailed information, but difficulty in managing link information becomes severe as image data accumulates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates link information between panoramic image data without requiring manual intervention. The shape recognition module autonomously processes image data, identifies shapes, and creates associations between relevant images, eliminating the burden of manual link management while maintaining the ability for users to confirm actual images and search for detailed information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual link generation processes with automated shape recognition technology. By using image processing algorithms to detect and recognize shapes across multiple panoramic images, the system substitutes the mechanical/manual task of creating links with an automated computational process, significantly reducing management complexity
2Device complexity
If simple combination of marks is displayed on electronic map screens, then the interface remains simple, but it is difficult to confirm the actual image of the corresponding place
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested information structure where simple map marks contain embedded links to detailed panoramic image data. When users interact with simple marks on the electronic map, the system provides access to nested panoramic images and shape information, allowing progressive disclosure of information from simple to detailed levels without overwhelming the interface
Solution Approach 2:
The shape recognition module acts as an intermediary between simple map marks and actual image data. It processes the relationship between map coordinates and panoramic images, creating a bridge that allows simple interface elements to access and display detailed image information when needed, thus preventing information loss while maintaining interface simplicity
