Abstract

A user-based map manufacturing apparatus includes an open street map (OSM) database (DB) configured to store OSM data, a map item DB configured to store a map item, and a map manufacturer configured to convert the OSM data into an OSM layer in an image format, and generate the map item in the OMS layer to manufacture a map.

Claims

1. A user-based map manufacturing apparatus comprising:

an open street map (OSM) database (DB) configured to store OSM data;

a map item DB configured to store a map item; and

a map manufacturer configured to convert the OSM data into an OSM layer in an image format, and generate the map item in the OMS layer to manufacture the user-based map.

2. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the map manufacturer comprising:

a road manager configured to draw a road from the map item DB to generate the road in the OSM layer;

a theme information manager configured to draw theme information from the map item DB to generate the theme information in the OSM layer; and

a rendering engine configured to render the OSM data to convert it into the OSM layer, and render the road and the theme information generated in the OSM layer by the road manager and the theme information manager, respectively, to generate the user-based map.

3. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the road manager generates the road on the basis or latitude and longitude coordinates, or generates the road on the basis of virtual road data.

4. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the theme information comprises content representing a geographical environment of the real world and additional information with respect to the content.

5. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 4, wherein the content comprises at least an image representing the geographical environment of the real world.

6. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 4, wherein the additional information comprises any one or more of an image and text with respect to the geographical environment of the real world and address information of a Web page providing the geographical environment, and virtual reality (VR).

7. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 4, wherein the theme information manager generates the theme information on the basis of latitude and longitude coordinates in the OSM layer.

8. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the map manufacturer further comprises an application programming interface (API) configured to display the map on a manager terminal and allow the map to be edited in association with the manager terminal.

9. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the map manufacturer manufactures the user-based map in a file format.

10. A user-based map manufacturing apparatus comprising:

a display configured to display the user-based map including generated map items in open street map (OSM) data; and

an application programming interface (API) processor configured to receive the user-based map from a map manufacturing module and display the user-based map on the display.

11. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 10, further comprising:

an input processor configured to input additional information, wherein the API processor additionally generates the additional information input through the input processor in the map.

12. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 11, wherein the additional information comprises any one or more of a map item with respect to a geographical environment of the real world and a movement path of a user terminal.

13. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 12, wherein the map item comprises theme information, wherein the theme information comprises content representing the geographical environment of the real world and additional information with respect to the content.

14. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 13, wherein the additional information comprises any one or more of an image and text with respect to the geographical environment of the real world and address information of a Web page providing the geographical environment, and virtual reality (VR).

15. The user-based map manufacturing apparatus of claim 12, wherein the API processor generates the movement path of the user terminal as a road in the map.
