Method of associating user related data with spatial hierarchy identifiers for efficient location-based processing
First Claim
1. A program storing computer-readable instructions therein for instructing a computer to perform analytical steps for associating user related data with at least two spatial hierarchy identifiers corresponding to at least two different spatial hierarchies, the program comprising:
- a non-transitory, computer readable recording medium readable by the computer; and
the computer instructions stored on said recording medium instructing the computer to perform the processes including;
receiving user related data;
determining a user that is associated with the user related data;
determining at least one location associated with the user;
generating at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier associated with a first spatial hierarchy;
generating at least one second spatial hierarchy identifier associated with a second spatial hierarchy;
associating the at least one location with the at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier and the at least one second spatial hierarchy identifier; and
associating the user related data with the at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier and with the at least one second spatial hierarchy identifier.

Abstract
A program storing computer-readable instructions therein for instructing a computer to perform analytical steps for associating user related data with a spatial hierarchy identifier, the program comprising a recording medium readable by the computer and the computer instructions stored on said recording medium instructing the computer to perform the processes including receiving user related data, determining the user that is associated with the user related data, determining the at least one location associated with the user, associating the at least one location with at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier, and associating the user related data with the at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier.

11. A program storing computer-readable instructions therein for instructing a computer to perform analytical steps for preprocessing data for efficient location-based indexing, the program comprising:
- a non-transitory, computer readable recording medium readable by the computer; and
the computer instructions stored on said recording medium instructing the computer to perform the processes including;loading data associated with at least one location; generating at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier, which includes a path to an identified node in a first spatial hierarchy, for identifying first regions within the first spatial hierarchy associated with the at least one location; generating at least one second spatial hierarchy identifier for identifying second regions within a second spatial hierarchy corresponding to the at least one location, wherein the at least one first spatial hierarchy is different than the at least one second spatial hierarchy; storing the data with the at least one first spatial hierarchy identifier; and storing the data with the at least one second spatial hierarchy identifier. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
