Method and system for obtaining trajectory pattern of route
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for obtaining a trajectory pattern of a route comprising:
- Obtaining, via a processor, a set of points associated with the route, the set of points being obtained by at least one entity travelling along the route;
identifying, via the processor, a current coverage area in plurality of coverage areas in a search range comprising an initial search area covering a part of points in the set of points;
determining, via the processor, whether the search range includes a blind area that-indicative of a location sensing gap that intervenes the current search area and a successive search area such that the current search area is unconnected with the successive search area;
determining, via the processor, a main direction of the current coverage area;
expanding the search range to an expanded search range in response to the successive coverage area being not found within the current search area, wherein the expanded search range comprises a search distance exceeding a search distance of the initial search area, and the expanded search range skips the sensing gap;
connecting, via the processor, the current coverage area with the successive search area based on the main direction of the current coverage area to obtain the trajectory pattern related to the route, the main direction representing a forward direction of the trajectory pattern; and
outputting an updated route to a display via an input/output interface, the updated route comprising the forward direction of the trajectory pattern.

Abstract
A method and system for obtaining a trajectory pattern of a route. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for obtaining a trajectory pattern of a route. The method includes obtaining a set of points associated with the route, the set of points being obtained by at least one entity travelling along the route. A plurality of coverage areas covering a part of points in the set of points is determined. The coverage areas are connected based on main directions of the coverage areas to obtain the trajectory pattern related to the route. The main directions represent forward directions of the route in respective coverage areas. A corresponding system for obtaining a trajectory pattern of a route is described as well.
