First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for associating real-time information with a geographical location comprising:
- receiving at least one location of interest at a server;
determining at least one buffer zone based on the at least one location of interest;
creating at least one spatial object based on spatial events;
creating at least one relationship table based on spatial objects; and
determining at least one spatial object based on the at least one buffer zone.

Abstract
A location of interest is received by a server, and a buffer zone is determined surrounding that location. Real-time spatial events may be continually updated in one or more GIS databases. The database entries may be software spatial objects, which consist of the location and supplemental information pertaining to each event. All locations that are related to a spatial event may be listed in a relationship table. The location of interest is used to query the relationship table for events occurring within the location'"'"'s buffer zone, and therefore affecting the location.
