Validating map data corrections
First Claim
1. A server configured for use in a system for use in the validation of a correction to map data for a geographic location, the server being in communication with a transmitter and a receiver for communicating with a plurality of navigation devices, and the server comprising:
- a route log configured to store navigation routes travelled by the plurality of navigation devices; and
a processing resource comprising;
a device selection module configured to select a set of one or more navigation devices for which a route is stored in said route log that includes a location within a predetermined distance from a geographic location associated with a correction to map data;
a user request generator that is configured to generate a user request to validate the correction for transmission by the transmitter to the selected set of one or more navigation devices; and
a response review module that is configured to analyse user responses received by the receiver to validate said correction.

Abstract
A system for validating a correction to map data for a geographic location, the system comprising: a processing resource; and a navigation device; wherein the processing resource comprises: a user request generator that is configured to generate a user request for transmission to the navigation device; a transmitter for transmitting the generated user request to the navigation device; and a receiver for receiving a user response from said navigation device; and the navigation device comprises: a receiver for receiving the user request transmitted from the processing resource; a user request module configured to present said received user request to a user of the navigation device; a user response module for capturing a user response to said presented user request, and a transmitter for transmitting said captured user response to said processing resource.

5. A server configured for use in a system for use in the validation of a correction to map data for a geographic location, the server being in communication with a transmitter and a receiver for communicating with a plurality of navigation devices, and the server comprising a processing resource comprising:
-
a device selection module configured to select a set of one or more navigation devices which have a current geographic location within a predetermined distance of a geographic location associated with a correction to map data; a user request generator that is configured to generate a user request to validate the correction for transmission by the transmitter to the selected set of one or more navigation devices; and a response review module that is configured to analyse user responses received by the receiver to validate said correction.

6. A method of operating a server for use in the validation of a correction to map data for a geographic location, the server being in communication with a transmitter and a receiver for communicating with a plurality of navigation devices, and the server comprising a route log configured to store navigation routes travelled by the plurality of navigation devices, the method comprising:
-
selecting a set of one or more navigation devices for which a route is stored in said route log that includes a location within a predetermined distance from a geographic location associated with a correction to map data; generating a user request to validate the correction for transmission by the transmitter to the selected set of one or more navigation devices; and analysing user responses received by the receiver to validate said correction. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
