Method and system for transmitting and/or receiving at least one location reference, enhanced by at least one focusing factor
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- at least one of obtaining and receiving information regarding at least one location reference at a server for transmission to at least one remote device;
determining, using a first focusing factor of a predetermined maximum value, at least one path of the at least one location reference between at least one pair of points within mapping information at the server;
computing at least one focusing factor at the server and enhancing the at least one location reference by adding the computed at least one focusing factor to the at least one location reference, wherein the computed at least one focusing factor exceeds the predetermined maximum value;
transmitting the at least one location reference enhanced by the computed at least one focusing factor from the server to the at least one remote device, wherein the at least one remote device uses the computed at least one focusing factor to determine a path for the at least one location reference, andwherein the at least one focusing factor is computed based upon the at least one pair of points and at least one of distance and deviation of the determined at least one path between the points.

Abstract
A method and system are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes at least one of obtaining and receiving information regarding at least one location reference at a server (302) for transmission to at least one remote device; determining at least one path of the at least one location reference corresponding to at least one pair of points within mapping information at the server (302); computing at least one focusing factor at the server (302) based upon encoded information corresponding to the determined at least one path of the at least one location reference, and enhancing the at least one location reference by the computed at least one focusing factor; and transmitting the at least one location reference enhanced by the computed at least one focusing factor from the server (302) to the at least one remote device.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a receiver to at least one of obtain and receive information regarding at least one location reference at a server for transmission to at least one remote device; a processor to use a first focusing factor of a predetermined maximum value to determine at least one path of the at least one location reference between at least one pair of points within mapping information at the server and to compute at least one focusing factor at the server; and a transmitter to transmit the at least one location reference, the at least one location reference being enhanced by adding the at least one computed focusing factor to the at least one location reference, from the server to the at least one remote device, wherein the computed at least one focusing factor exceeds the predetermined maximum value, wherein the at least one remote device uses the computed at least one focusing factor to determine a path for the at least one location reference, and wherein the at least one focusing factor is computed based upon the at least one pair of points and at least one of distance and deviation of the determined at least one path between the points. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
