Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating, based on a marker data set of multiple markers, a boundary tile that encompasses the multiple markers on the map, assigning each of the markers in the multiple markers to one subtile in a grid of subtiles, wherein each subtile in the grid of subtiles represents a portion of the boundary tile, and for at least one subtile in the grid of subtiles having at least one of the multiple markers assigned, displaying, on the map, a representative marker of the at least one of the multiple markers having a location closest to a center of the at least one subtile.

Claims (31)

1 . A computer-implemented method for displaying markers on a map, comprising:

generating, based on a marker data set of multiple markers, a boundary tile that encompasses the multiple markers on the map;

assigning each of the markers in the multiple markers to one subtile in a grid of subtiles, wherein each subtile in the grid of subtiles represents a portion of the boundary tile; and

for at least one subtile in the grid of subtiles having at least one of the multiple markers assigned, displaying, on the map, a representative marker of the at least one of the multiple markers having a location closest to a center of the at least one subtile.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the representative marker indicates a number of the multiple markers assigned to the at least one subtile.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising for each subtile of a portion of subtiles in the grid of subtiles displayed after a zoom event on the map, displaying each of the multiple markers assigned to the subtile in an associated location on the map.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein displaying each of the multiple markers assigned to the subtile is based on a zoom level of the zoom event achieving a threshold.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising removing, from the grid of subtiles, a portion of the subtiles in the grid of subtiles that have no markers assigned to the portion of subtiles.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the boundary tile includes generating the boundary tile as a rectangle that is based on a lowest marker of the multiple markers, a left most marker of the multiple markers, an upper most marker of the multiple markers, and a right most marker of the multiple markers on the map.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising dividing the boundary tile into the grid of subtiles, wherein each subtile in the grid of subtiles is of a same size.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the multiple markers correspond to access control system assets deployed at one or more areas.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the multiple markers correspond to events detected by assets deployed at one or more areas.

10 . An apparatus for displaying markers on a map, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to execute instructions stored on the one or more memories to:

generate, based on a marker data set of multiple markers, a boundary tile that encompasses the multiple markers on the map;

assign each of the markers in the multiple markers to one subtile in a grid of subtiles, wherein each subtile in the grid of subtiles represents a portion of the boundary tile; and

for at least one subtile in the grid of subtiles having at least one of the multiple markers assigned, display, on the map, a representative marker of the at least one of the multiple markers having a location closest to a center of the at least one subtile.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the representative marker indicates a number of the multiple markers assigned to the at least one subtile.

12 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to, for each subtile of a portion of subtiles in the grid of subtiles displayed after a zoom event on the map, display each of the multiple markers assigned to the subtile in an associated location on the map.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to display each of the multiple markers assigned to the subtile based on a zoom level of the zoom event achieving a threshold.

14 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to remove, from the grid of subtiles, a portion of the subtiles in the grid of subtiles that have no markers assigned to the portion of subtiles.

15 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to generate the boundary tile as a rectangle that is based on a lowest marker of the multiple markers, a left most marker of the multiple markers, an upper most marker of the multiple markers, and a right most marker of the multiple markers on the map.

16 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to divide the boundary tile into the grid of subtiles, wherein each subtile in the grid of subtiles is of a same size.

17 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the multiple markers correspond to access control assets deployed within a building.

18 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the multiple markers correspond to events detected by assets deployed at one or more areas.

19 . One or more computer-readable media storing instructions, executable by one or more processors, for indicating occupancy of a point of interest in a room, the instructions comprising instructions for:

generating, based on a marker data set of multiple markers, a boundary tile that encompasses the multiple markers on the map;

assigning each of the markers in the multiple markers to one subtile in a grid of subtiles, wherein each subtile in the grid of subtiles represents a portion of the boundary tile; and

for at least one subtile in the grid of subtiles having at least one of the multiple markers assigned, displaying, on the map, a representative marker of the at least one of the multiple markers having a location closest to a center of the at least one subtile.

20 . The one or more computer-readable media of claim 19 , wherein the representative marker indicates a number of the multiple markers assigned to the at least one subtile.
