SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION RELATED TO A GEOGRAPHIC REGION
First Claim
1. A method of processing information related to a geographic region, the method comprising:
- determining a probability that at least one difference between a map database and a geographic region represented by the map database is valid based on probe data from the geographic region and at least one change request, the change request being associated with the at least one difference, andstoring the probability and the at least one difference in memory.

Abstract
Methods and systems for processing information related to a geographic region are disclosed. A method includes determining a probability that at least one difference between a map database and a geographic region represented by the map database is valid based on probe data from the geographic region and at least one change request, the change request being associated with the at least one difference, and storing the probability and the at least one difference in memory. A system includes a processor configured to determine a probability that at least one difference between a map database and a geographic region represented by the map database is valid based on probe data from the geographic region and at least one change request, the change request being associated with the at least one difference, and memory operable coupled to the processor to store the probability and the at least one difference.

15. A method of updating a map database representing a geographic region, the method comprising:
- updating a map database to include at least one difference between the map database and a geographic region represented by the map database based on probe data and at least one change request, the change request being associated with the at least one difference; and
storing the updated map database in a memory. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

26. A system for updating map information in a map database representing a geographic region, the system comprising:
-
a processor configured to update a map database to include at least one difference between the map database and a geographic region represented by the map database based on probe data and at least one change request, each of the probe data and the change request being associated with the at least one difference; and memory operable coupled to the processor to store the updated map database.

27. A computer software comprising one or more software modules operable, when executed in an execution environment, to cause a processor to:
-
determine a probability that at least one difference between a map database and a geographic region represented by the map database is valid based on probe data from the geographic region and at least one change request, the change request being associated with the at least one difference; and store the probability and the at least one difference in a memory. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
