BOUNDARY DELINEATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- translating a living unit identifier into a translated geographic location point, the living unit identifier being within a distribution area;
delineating a closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point;
delineating an additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point, the geographic location point associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area; and
merging the closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area.

Abstract
Methods and systems for boundary delineation are described. In one embodiment, a living unit identifier may be translated into a translated geographic location point. The living unit identifier may be within a distribution area. A closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point may be delineated. An additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point may be delineated. The geographic location point may be associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area. The closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure may be merged to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
translating a living unit identifier into a translated geographic location point, the living unit identifier being within a distribution area; delineating a closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point; delineating an additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point, the geographic location point associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area; and merging the closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
providing a living unit identifier to a geographic convertor, the living unit identifier being within a distribution area; receiving a translated geographic location point from the geographic convertor in response to the providing of the living unit identifier; delineating a closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point; delineating an additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point, the geographic location point associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area; and merging the closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations:
-
translate a living unit identifier into a translated geographic location point, the living unit identifier being within a distribution area; delineate a closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point; delineate an additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point, the geographic location point associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area; and merge the closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations:
-
provide a living unit identifier to a geographic convertor, the living unit identifier being within a distribution area; receive a translated geographic location point from the geographic convertor in response to the providing of the living unit identifier; delineate a closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point; delineate an additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point, the geographic location point associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area; and merging the closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area. - View Dependent Claims (23)

24. A system comprising:
-
a graphic convertor communication module to provide a living unit identifier to a geographic convertor and receive a translated geographic location point from the geographic convertor in response to the providing of the living unit identifier, the living unit identifier being within a distribution area; a figure delineation module to delineate a closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds the translated geographic location point received by the graphic converter communication module and delineate an additional closed plane living unit-based figure that bounds a geographic location point, the geographic location point associated with an additional living unit identifier within the distribution area; and a merger module to merge the closed plane living unit-based figure and the additional closed plane living unit-based figure delineated by the figure delineation module to create a distribution area figure of the distribution area. - View Dependent Claims (25)
