End user image open area maps
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of generating an open area map, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a remote device, an image of a layout representing a real-world area in which a pedestrian moves about;
applying, by the remote device, a mesh on the image, the mesh including a plurality of contiguous tiles, wherein the mesh has a shape that corresponds to a pedestrian-accessible sub-area within the real-world area, and wherein the shape has a boundary that corresponds to barriers in the layout;
forming, by the remote device, a routable map based on the mesh; and
providing, by the remote device, the routable map to an end user that generated the image of the layout,wherein the routable map is configured to calculate a route from an origin point to a selected destination as a function of the mesh, where the calculated route is formed of any adjacent tiles of the plurality of contiguous tiles such that any area of the pedestrian-accessible sub-area within the real-world area can be routed to.

Abstract
Systems, devices, applications, and methods for generating an open area map are disclosed. For example, a software application is configured to run on a computing platform of an end user. The end user generates an image of a layout of a walkable area. The software application performs a method of generating an open area map based on the image. The method includes applying an array of uniformly spaced objects on the image. A routable map is generated as a function of the array. The routable map is configured to provide point-to-point routing within the layout.

7. A software application configured to run on a computing platform of an end user, wherein the end user generates an image of a layout of a walkable area, and wherein the software application performs a method of generating an open area map based on the image, the method comprising:
-
applying a mesh on the image; and generating a routable map based on the mesh, wherein the routable map includes a displayable representation of the layout, wherein the routable map is configured to provide the end user with point-to-point routing within the representation of the layout, not based solely on pre-determined routes, as a function of the mesh, via any areas of the walkable area. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
