END USER IMAGE OPEN AREA MAPS
First Claim
1. A software application configured to run on a computing platform of an end user, wherein the end user generates an image of a layout of a walkable area, and wherein the software application performs a method of generating an open area map based on the image, the method comprising:
- applying an array of uniformly spaced objects on the image; and
generating a routable map as a function of the array, wherein the routable map is configured to provide point-to-point routing within the layout.

Abstract
Systems, devices, applications, and methods for generating an open area map are disclosed. For example, a software application is configured to run on a computing platform of an end user. The end user generates an image of a layout of a walkable area. The software application performs a method of generating an open area map based on the image. The method includes applying an array of uniformly spaced objects on the image. A routable map is generated as a function of the array. The routable map is configured to provide point-to-point routing within the layout.

14. A method of generating an open area map, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a remote device, an image of a layout representing a real-world area in which a pedestrian moves about; applying, by the remote device, a mesh on the image, the mesh including a plurality of contiguous tiles, wherein the mesh has a shape that corresponds to a pedestrian-accessible sub-area within the real-world area, and wherein the shape has a boundary that corresponds to barriers in the layout; forming, by the remote device, a routable map as a function of the mesh; and providing, by the remote device, the routable map to an end user that generated the image of the layout, wherein the routable map is configured to provide routing from an origin point to a selected destination within the layout. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus for generating an open area map, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory configured to store an image of a graphical representation of a pedestrian area, the graphical representation generated by an end user; and a processor configured to apply a grid on the image of the graphical representation, the processor further configured to generate a routable map based on the grid, wherein the routable map is adapted to provide point-to-point routing.
