Map 3D-converter system
First Claim
1. A map 3D-converter system for converting 2D maps into a 3D map, comprising:
- a 2D map data storage device for storing 2D map data with an attribute indicating that the 2D map data includes horizontal positions of the top view, or vertical positions of a side view;
a 3D conversion instructor for specifying an identification value for identifying a target map and a reference position for developing the target map in a 3D space, the reference position for the target map being different from a second reference position specified for a second target map;
a 3D converter for converting the 2D map data, read from said 2D map data storage device, into 3D map data, based on the identification value and the reference position specified by said 3D conversion instructor; and
a 3D map data storage device for storing the 3D map data produced by said 3D converter.

16. A 3D map converting system, comprising:
-
means for storing a first 2D map data with an attribute indicating that said first 2D map data includes one of horizontal positions of a top view and vertical positions of a side view;
means for specifying a target map and a first reference position for developing the target map in a 3D space;
means for converting said first 2D map data into 3D map data, based on said reference position;
means for associating, by a second reference position that is specified different from the first reference position, second 2D map data of an another 2D map with said first 2D map data; and
, means for storing said 3D map data.- View Dependent Claims (17)
