Component and method for overlying information bearing hexagons on a map display
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of presenting information, comprising:
- collecting quality of service performance data from a plurality of wireless mobile devices operated by a respective plurality of users;
associating individual datums of the quality of service performance data with respective individual geographic locations;
rendering a map of a selected geographic area, the map including a representation of at least some of the individual geographic locations;
rendering each of the individual geographic locations represented in the rendered map as corresponding ones of a plurality of non-overlapping, mathematically regular polygons, the mathematically regular polygons appearing to overlay the rendered map, each of the mathematically regular polygons bearing information associated with a corresponding individual datum;
collecting updated quality of service performance data; and
updating the information associated with one or more corresponding individual datums without updating others of the individual datums, the updating corresponding with collection of additional quality of service performance data.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to a computer implemented method and component defining a plurality of data structures, each data structure having a plurality of data elements. The method and component associate the plurality of data structures with a geographic area wherein each data structure of the plurality corresponds to its own unique sub-part of the geographic area. Each data structure of the plurality is rendered as a corresponding one of a plurality of adjacent, non-overlapping, mathematically regular hexagonal shapes. Each data structure is configured for programmatic loading of the plurality of data elements and display characteristics of each hexagon are specified based on data stored in the data elements of the data structure corresponding to each hexagon.

12. A computing system, comprising:
-
a processing unit, a memory, and an input/output port configured in hardware and software as several modules, said modules including; a data sample collection module configured to collect data samples; a polygon production module configured to; define a plurality of data structures, each of the plurality of data structures associated with its own unique sub-part of a geographic area, and associate a polygon identifier with each of the plurality of data structures; a database module configured to; receive data samples from the data sample collection module, generate composite information samples from at least some of the data samples, and store each composite information sample in association with at least one polygon identifier; and a tile service module configured to; receive composite information from the database module, and generate at least one polygon image file, the polygon image file integrating the received composite information, the polygon image file configured for overlay on an underlying map image file. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium whose stored contents configure a computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
collecting data samples associated with a first geographic area; associating individual datums of the collected data samples with respective individual geographic locations; rendering a map of a selected geographic area, the map including a representation of at least some of the individual geographic locations; rendering each of the individual geographic locations represented in the rendered map as corresponding ones of a plurality of non-overlapping polygons, the non-overlapping polygons appearing to overlay the rendered map, each of the non-overlapping polygons bearing information associated with a corresponding individual datum; collecting at least some updated data samples; and based on the updated data samples, updating the information associated with corresponding individual datums without updating others of the individual datums. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
