SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SHARING SPATIAL DATA
First Claim
1. A method for sharing spatial data between a first geographic information system and a second geographic information system, the method comprising:
- receiving a description of a first set of layers of spatial data, available on the first geographic information system, by the second geographic information system;
defining a user interface on the second geographic information system, the user interface configured to include a second set of layers of spatial data available on the second geographic information system and the first set of layers of spatial data based, at least in part, on the received description;
selecting layers through the user interface based on a user input, wherein the selected layers includes at least a subset of at least one of the first set of layers of spatial data or the second set of layers of spatial data;
receiving the subset of the first set of layers of spatial data from the first geographic information system, based on the selection; and
displaying an overlay of the selected layers on the second geographic information system based, at least in part, on the selection.

Abstract
A method for sharing spatial data between a first geographic information system and a second geographic information system is provided. The method includes receiving a description of a first set of layers of spatial data, available on the first geographic information system, by the second geographic information system. The method includes defining a user interface on the second geographic information system. The method includes selecting layers through the user interface based on a user input. The selected layers includes at least a subset of at least one of the first set of layers of spatial data or the second set of layers of spatial data. The method includes receiving the subset of the first set of layers of spatial data from the first geographic information system, based on the selection. The method includes displaying an overlay of the selected layers on the second geographic information system.

9. A computer based system comprising:
-
a first geographic information system including a plurality of geographical information servers and human machine interface devices respectively, the first geographic information system configured to store a first set of layers of spatial data associated with a number of machines operating on a worksite; and a second geographic information system including a plurality of other geographical information servers and human machine interface devices respectively, the second geographic information system configured to store a second set of layers of the spatial data associated with the number of machines operating on the worksite; wherein the second set of layers is different from the first set of layers, wherein the second geographic information system further includes; a receiving module configured to receive a description of the first set of layers of spatial data from the first geographic information system; a user interface module configured to define a user interface including the second set of layers of spatial data and the first set of layers based, at least in part, on the received description; a selection module configured to select layers through the user interface based on a user input, wherein the selected layers includes at least a subset of at least one of the first set of layers of spatial data or the second set of layers of spatial data; and a display module configured to; receive the subset of the first set of layers of spatial data from the first geographic information system, based on the selection; and display an overlay of the selected layers on the second geographic information system based, at least in part, on the selection. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instruction, the sequences of instruction including instruction which when executed by a computer based system for sharing spatial data between a first geographic information system and a second geographic information system, causes the second geographic information system to perform operations, comprising:
-
receiving a description of a first set of layers of spatial data, available on the first geographic information system, by the second geographic information system; defining a user interface on the second geographic information system, the user interface configured to include a second set of layers of spatial data available on the second geographic information system and the first set of layers of spatial data based, at least in part, on the received description; selecting layers through the user interface based on a user input, wherein the selected layers includes at least a subset of at least one of the first set of layers of spatial data or the second set of layers of spatial data; receiving the subset of the first set of layers of spatial data from the first geographic information system, based on the selection; and displaying an overlay of the selected layers on the second geographic information system based, at least in part, on the selection. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
