Local transmission of point of interest data to a global positioning system receiver
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for receiving local point of interest data, the computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving the local point of interest data for a local geographic area by a geographic location device via a supported protocol, wherein the local point of interest data includes information regarding one or more local points of interest in the local geographic area;
caching the received local point of interest data for the local geographic area with existing point of interest data and maps within a cache in the geographic location device;
determining whether any time-sensitive point of interest data in the cache has expired;
responsive to determining that time-sensitive point of interest data in the cache has expired, removing the expired time-sensitive point of interest data from the cache to form current local point of interest data for the local geographic area; and
displaying the current local point of interest data for the local geographic area in a display device for utilization by a user.

Abstract
A system for receiving local point of interest data is presented. The local point of interest data for a local geographic area is received by a geographic location device via a supported protocol. The local point of interest data includes information regarding one or more local points of interest in the local geographic area. The received local point of interest data is cached with existing point of interest data and maps within a cache in the geographic location device. Then, it is determined whether any time-sensitive point of interest data in the cache has expired. In response to determining that time-sensitive point of interest data in the cache has expired, the expired time-sensitive point of interest data is removed from the cache to form current local point of interest data for the local geographic area. Then, the current local point of interest data is displayed in a display device.

10. A data processing system for receiving local point of interest data, comprising:
-
a bus system; a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device includes a set of instructions; and a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to receive the local point of interest data for a local geographic area via a supported protocol, wherein the local point of interest data includes information regarding one or more local points of interest in the local geographic area;
cache the received local point of interest data for the local geographic area with existing point of interest data and maps within the storage device;
determine whether any time-sensitive point of interest data in the storage device has expired;
remove the expired time-sensitive point of interest data from the storage device to form current local point of interest data for the local geographic area in response to determining that time-sensitive point of interest data in the storage device has expired; and
display the current local point of interest data for the local geographic area in a display device for utilization by a user. - View Dependent Claims (11)
