Dynamic map rendering as a function of a user parameter
View Patent ↗Provided is a single repository for capturing, connecting, sharing, and visualizing information based on a geographic location, for example. Detailed information can be dynamically rendered as a function of a user parameter, which can include a user demographic, a user profile, and a user preference information. Map information and advertisements displayed in conjunction with the map information can be dynamically rendered as a function of a user advertising preference. If a user prefers one product over another product, a first advertisement for the less preferred product can be replaced with a second advertisement for the preferred product.
1. A system for dynamically rendering a map as a function of a user parameter, comprising:
one or more processors executing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, provide components comprising:
a map retrieval component that is configured to receive a request for a web-based map from a first user, and to obtain a specific map geographic area responsive to the request for the web-based map;
a map annotation component that dynamically captures one or more visual annotations made to a web-based map presented to a second user, each user visual annotation being associated with a specific map geographic area;
a user authorization component configured to authorize sharing visual annotations captured from the second user with one or more other users;
an annotation sharing component configured to share visual annotations from the second user with one or more other users based on associated authorizations;
a map annotation stitching component that associates a captured visual annotation with a specific map geographic area;
an annotation selection component that selects one or more annotations for display from shared visual annotations based on information relating to a current position of a second user identified in a contact database of the first user, and that tailors the requested web-based map based on the selected annotations; and
a rendering component that displays the tailored web-based map to the first user.
2. The system of claim 1 , the rendering component obtains the specific map geographic area and related information from one or more remote servers.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a machine learning component that infers information relating to user annotations.
4. A method for dynamically rendering a map as a function of a user parameter, comprising:
receiving, by a map retrieval component, a request for a web-based map from a first user;
obtaining, by a map retrieval component, a specific map geographic area responsive to the request for the web-based map;
dynamically capturing, by a map annotation component, one or more visual annotations made to a web-based map presented to a second user, each user visual annotation being associated with a specific map geographic area;
authorizing, by a user authorization component, sharing visual annotations captured from the second user with one or more other users;
sharing, by an annotation sharing component, visual annotations from the second user with one or more other users based on associated authorizations;
associating, by a stitching component, a captured visual annotation with a specific map geographic area;
selecting, by an annotation selection component, one or more annotations for display from shared visual annotations based on information relating to a current position of the second user, the second user being identified in a contact database of the first user,
tailoring, by an annotation selection component, the requested web-based map based on the selected annotations; and
displaying, by a rendering component, the tailored web-based map to the first user.
