Abstract

The disclosure is relating to a method and a system for remote management of a location-based spatial object. The system includes a database and a server. The server provides a remote management interface such as in a form of an electronic map or a street view. The interface allows a subscriber to remotely set multiple spatial information for one spatial object. The server receives the spatial object and its corresponding spatial information from the subscriber over a network, combined with various search criteria relating to the spatial object, resulting in the establishment of consolidated information for the location-based spatial object in the database. The system allows an end user to search the location-based spatial object using a mobile device at any place, and the user can obtain the spatial object combined with an instant real scene image.

Claims

1. A method for remote management of a location-based spatial object, comprising:

a server providing a remote management interface;

over a network, the server receiving a spatial object from a subscriber computer system via the remote management interface, wherein the spatial object is a virtual object, being a text, a picture, a video, or a sound, or a combination thereof, provided for a user to search and access more information relating to the spatial object using a mobile device in response to a relationship between positioning information of the mobile device and spatial information of the spatial object while viewing a real scene;

the server receiving the spatial information with respect to the spatial object, and each spatial information including ground-position data;

the server receiving search criteria with respect to the spatial object; and

in the server, creating data of the location-based spatial object, including the spatial object, the spatial information and the search criteria relating to the spatial object.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the remote management interface is initiated with an electronic map and/or the real scene corresponding to the ground-position data.

3. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein the remote management interface is configured to set up ground-position data in the spatial information for the spatial object, and a range relating to the ground-position data is set up.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein, a space-angle data and its range are established by associating to the real scene'"'"'s ground-position data.

5. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the server receives image information relating to the real scene corresponding to the spatial object when the spatial object is being set up in the real scene.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the search criteria including a time limit, a viewable range, and/or a user range.

7. The method as recited in claim 6, wherein the time limit is a validity period and/or a display time period set for viewing the spatial object.

8. The method as recited in claim 6, wherein the user range indicates one or more users who are allowed to view the spatial object.

9. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein a price criteria corresponding to the spatial object is set via the remote management interface for influencing a search ranking with respect to the spatial object.

10. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein one or more content categorizations for the spatial object is set via the remote management interface.

11. A system for remote management of a location-based spatial object, comprising:

a database, recording multiple spatial objects and every spatial object'"'"'s corresponding positioning and/or image information, and search criteria;

wherein every spatial object has an ID utilized to link the positioning and/or the image information, and the search criteria corresponding to the spatial object in the database;

a server, having one or more processors, used to perform a method for remote management of the location-based spatial object, and the method comprising steps of;

providing a remote management interface;

over a network, the server receiving a spatial object that is a virtual object being a text, a picture, a video, or a sound, or a combination thereof from a subscriber computer system via the remote management interface;

the server receiving spatial information with respect to the spatial object, and each spatial information including at least ground-position data;

the server receiving search criteria with respect to the spatial object; and

in the server, creating data of a location-based spatial object, including the spatial object, the spatial information and the search criteria relating to the spatial object;

wherein, the spatial object is provided for a user to search and access more information relating to the spatial object using a mobile device in response to a relationship between positioning information of the mobile device and spatial information of the spatial object while viewing a real scene.

12. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the remote management interface is initiated with an electronic map and/or the real scene corresponding to the ground-position data.

13. The system as recited in claim 12, wherein the remote management interface is configured to set up ground-position data in the spatial information for the spatial object, and a range relating to the ground-position data is set up.

14. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein, a space-angle data and its range are established by associating to the real scene'"'"'s ground-position data.

15. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein the server receives image information relating to the real scene corresponding to the spatial object when the spatial object is being set up in the real scene.

16. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the search criteria, including a time limit, a viewable range, and/or a user range.

17. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein a price criteria corresponding to the spatial object is set via the remote management interface for influencing a search ranking with respect to the spatial object.

18. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein one or more content categorizations for the spatial object is set via the remote management interface.

19. A system for remote management of a location-based spatial object, comprising:

a database, recording multiple spatial objects and every spatial object'"'"'s corresponding positioning and/or image information, and search criteria;

wherein every spatial object has an ID utilized to link the positioning and/or the image information, and the search criteria corresponding to the spatial object in the database;

a server, having one or more processors, used to perform a method for remote management of the location-based spatial object, and the method comprising steps of;

providing a remote management interface that is initiated with an electronic map or a real scene corresponding to the ground-position data;

over a network, the server receiving a spatial object from a subscriber computer system via the remote management interface;

the server receiving spatial information with respect to the spatial object, and each spatial information including at least ground-position data;

the server receiving search criteria with respect to the spatial object; and

in the server, creating data of a location-based spatial object, including the spatial object, the spatial information and the search criteria relating to the spatial object.

20. The system as recited in claim 19, wherein the remote management interface is configured to set up ground-position data in the spatial information for the spatial object, and a range relating to the ground-position data is set up.
