System and method for providing a guided user interface to process waymark records
First Claim
1. A system for providing a guided user interface to process waymark records, comprising:
- a database to maintain categories of published waymark records, wherein each category is associated with at least one variable and one or more attributes, which each specify a type of metadata for the variables;
a display to present the variables and attributes for one of the categories in response to a request from a user; and
a processor to apply a user interface to process input metadata for a physical object by receiving the input metadata comprising coordinates for the physical object from the user, by determining a consistency of the input metadata with the variables and attributes associated with the category, by providing notice to the user when the coordinates of the physical object are within a particular distance of one of the published waymark records, by compiling the input metadata as a waymark record for the physical object when the physical object is not the same as the published waymark record, and by logging a visit to the physical location by the user on the published waymark record when the physical object is the same as the published waymark record,wherein the waymark record is published and displayed on a map.

Abstract
A system and method for providing a guided user interface to process waymark records is provided. Categories of published waymark records are maintained in a database. Each category is associated with at least one variable and one or more attributes, which each specify a type of metadata for the variables. The variables and attributes are presented for one of the categories in response to a request from a user. A user interface is applied to process input metadata for a physical object that is received from the user via the user interface. A consistency of the input metadata with the variables and attributes associated with the category is determined. The consistent input metadata is complied as a waymark record for the physical object. The waymark record is published and displayed on a map.
