Systems and methods for progressive map maintenance and communication channel selection
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a hardware-based processing unit; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising;
a resource-availability module configured to cause the processing unit to determine whether a resource scarcity condition exists in connection with providing map data to a mobile navigation unit;
a tuning-parameter module having map attribute criticality, the tuning-parameter module comprising a priority-setting module configured to cause the processing unit to, in response to determining that the resource scarcity condition exists, classify traffic-control attributes as more-critical and non-traffic-control attributes as less-critical to provide to the mobile navigation unit;
an encoding module configured to cause the processing unit to encode map data based on the tuning parameter; and
a map-data-delivery module configured to cause the processing unit to provide or make available the encoded map data to the mobile navigation unit.

Abstract
A system having a resource-availability module configured to cause the processing unit to determine whether a resource scarcity condition exists in connection with providing map data to a mobile navigation unit. The system also includes a tuning-parameter module configured to cause the processing unit to, in response to determining that the resource scarcity condition exists, determine a tuning parameter to use in preparing map data to provide to the mobile navigation unit. The system further includes an encoding module configured to cause the processing unit to encode map data based on the tuning parameter, and a map-data-delivery module configured to cause the processing unit to provide or make available the encoded map data to the mobile navigation unit.

12. A system comprising:
-
a hardware-based processing unit; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising; a resource-availability module configured to cause the processing unit to determine whether a resource scarcity condition exists in connection with providing map data to a mobile navigation unit; a tuning-parameter module having map attribute criticality, the tuning-parameter module comprising a priority-setting module configured to cause the processing unit to, in response to determining that the resource scarcity condition exists, classify traffic-control attributes as more-critical and non-traffic-control attributes as less-critical to provide to the mobile navigation unit; a hybrid-communication-channel module configured to cause the processing unit to, in response to determining that the resource scarcity condition exists, determine a map-data-delivery arrangement indicating one or more of multiple optional communication channels or channel bands by which to transmit components of the map data; and a map-data-delivery module configured to cause the processing unit to provide or make available the encoded map data to the mobile navigation unit by way of the communication channel or band determined. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
