DYNAMIC LAYERS FOR NAVIGATION DATABASE SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for generating navigation-related data, the method comprising:
- generating a first attribute based on a first observation associated with a first vehicle and a first observation type;
performing one or more comparison operations between the first attribute and a road database to generate a first dynamic layer; and
causing the first dynamic layer to be transmitted to a first navigation system, wherein the first navigation system performs at least one navigation operation based on the road database and the first dynamic layer.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a layer application generates navigation-related data based on observations associated with vehicles. In operation, the layer application generates an attribute based on a first observation associated with a vehicle and an observation type. The layer application then compares the attribute to an existing road database to generate a dynamic layer. Subsequently, the layer application causes the dynamic layer to be transmitted to a navigation subsystem. After receiving the dynamic layer, the navigation subsystem performs navigation operation(s) based on the road database and the dynamic layer. Because the layer application may receive and operate on real-time observations, providers of road databases may produce dynamic layers at a frequency that enables navigation applications to continually provide accurate navigation data.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to generate navigation-related data by performing the steps of:
-
generating first navigation-related data based on a first observation of a first object, wherein the first observation is associated with a first vehicle and a first observation type; performing one or more comparison operations between the first navigation-related data and a road database to generate a first dynamic layer; and causing the first dynamic layer to be transmitted to a first navigation system, wherein the first navigation system performs at least one navigation operation based on the road database and the first dynamic layer. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for generating navigation-related data, the system comprising:
-
a memory storing a layer application; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein when executed by the processor, the layer application causes the processor to; generate a first attribute based on one or more observations associated with a road specified in a road database; perform one or more comparison operations between the first attribute and the road database to generate a first dynamic layer; and cause the first dynamic layer to be transmitted to a first navigation system, wherein the first navigation system performs at least one navigation operation based on the road database and the first dynamic layer. - View Dependent Claims (20)
