PROVIDING ROAD INFORMATION INCLUDING VERTEX DATA FOR A LINK AND USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of processing traffic information, comprising:
- receiving link vertex information including a first identifier and vertex components that each reveal a position along a link, wherein the first identifier enables a determination of a type of information that is included within the received link vertex information;
determining the type of information included within the received link vertex information based on the first identifier; and
identifying vertex components within the link vertex information only if the first identifier enables a determination that the received link vertex information includes at least one vertex component.

Abstract
A method of processing traffic information includes receiving link vertex information including a first identifier and vertex components that each reveal a position along a link. The first identifier enables a determination of a type of information that is included within the received link vertex information. The method also includes determining the type of information included within the received link vertex information based on the first identifier and identifying vertex components within the link vertex information only if the first identifier enables a determination that the received link vertex information includes at least one vertex component.

18. A traffic information communication device, comprising:
-
a data receiving interface configured to receive link vertex information including;
a link vertex identifier that identifies the received information as including at least one vertex component, an indication of a number of vertex components that are specified by the link vertex information, and a number of vertex components corresponding to the indication, at least one of the vertex components including;
a vertex component identifier that identifies the vertex component as a single one of the vertex components included within the link vertex information, and vertex position information identifying a position of a vertex specified by the vertex component as including a position along a link, a processing device configured to process the link vertex information received from the data receiving interface, the process including;
determining a type of information included within the received link vertex information; and
identifying a vertex position specified by the vertex components based on the received information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
