Method and System for Refreshing Location Code Data
First Claim
1. A method of refreshing location code data, comprising:
- receiving a message that includes map change data for at least one map database, wherein the message identifies a map vendor and a map version associated with the at least one map database;
determining whether the map change data affects a location code stored in a location code system;
updating data associated with the affected location code based on the map change data; and
storing the updated location code data in the location code system.

Abstract
A method and system for refreshing location code data is disclosed. The system includes a location code change system that receives map change data and location code change data. The location code change system processes the map change data, finds affected location codes, and updates the location code'"'"'s information by manipulating the location code data or performing a geocoding operation. The updated location code data is stored in a location code system. The location code change system receives the location code change data from the location code system and provides information regarding the location code changes to a map change system, which facilitates map updates based on the location code changes.
