Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for production and display of map based slide presentations. The system may provide a map of a geographic region via a map interface and select a portion of the geographic region for creation of a slide. The slide may be created to incorporate all of the data within the selected portion and may be part of a series of slides in a presentation. The user may further provide access controls to data aspects within the slide and the system may use the access controls to regulate display of the slide.

Claims

1. A system for generating a dynamically linked geographical slide presentation, the system comprising:

one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;

provide map data corresponding to a given geographic region for presentation through an interface, the map data being linked to one or more geographical data objects defined according to a first ontology, the one or more geographical data objects corresponding to one or more locations of the geographic region;

determine a selection of a portion of the geographic region through the interface, the selected portion of the geographic region associated with a first geographical data object of the one or more geographical data objects;

generate a first slide data object, the first slide data object defined according to a second ontology, the first slide data object including a first link to the first geographical data object and a second link to a second slide data object, the second slide data object including information describing a map feature of the selected portion of the geographic region associated with the first geographical data object;

generate a non-linear hierarchical slide presentation including a plurality of slides, the non-linear hierarchical slide presentation being generated based on the first slide data object and the second slide data object; and

present a first slide of the non-linear hierarchical slide presentation, the first slide including at least a visual representation of the selected portion of the geographic region based on the first link between the first slide data object and the first geographical data object, and the first slide including the information of the second slide data object based on the second link between the first slide data object and the second slide data object.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is further caused to:

obtain access levels of potential viewers of the first slide;

determine a display status of data of the first slide according to the one or more access control levels; and

cause display of the first slide of the slide presentation on a computer display device according to the display status.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein determining a display status further causes the system to:

determine to display first data of the first slide for which the minimum access level among the potential viewers satisfies the access level of the first data; and

determine not to display second data of the first slide for which the minimum access level among the potential viewers does not satisfy the access level of the second data.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein map data corresponding to the selected portion of the geographic region is linked to the first geographical data object of an object graph, and wherein modifications to the first geographical data object cause the visual representation of the selected portion of the geographic region in the first slide to be updated.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein to determine the selection of a portion of the geographic region through the interface further causes the system to determine map features to include within the selected portion.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is further caused to:

generate a third slide data object according to a second selection of a second portion of the geographic region, wherein the third slide data object references a portion of the map data corresponding to the second selection.

7. A method for generating a dynamically linked geographical slide presentation, the method being performed on a computer system having one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the computer system to perform the method, the method comprising:

providing, by the computer system, map data corresponding to a given geographic region for presentation through an interface, the map data being linked to one or more geographical data objects defined according to a first ontology, the one or more geographical data objects corresponding to one or more locations of the geographic region;

determining, by the computer system, a selection of a portion of the geographic region through the interface, the selected portion of the geographic region associated with a first geographical data object of the one or more geographical data objects;

generating, by the computer system, a first slide data object, the first slide data object defined according to a second ontology, the first slide data object including a first link to the first geographical data object and a second link to a second slide data object, the second slide data object including information describing a map feature of the selected portion of the geographic region associated with the first geographical data object;

generating a non-linear hierarchical slide presentation including a plurality of slides, the non-linear hierarchical slide presentation being generated based on the first slide data object and the second slide data object; and

presenting a first slide of the non-linear hierarchical slide presentation, the first slide including at least a visual representation of the selected portion of the geographic region based on the first link between the first slide data object and the first geographical data object, and the first slide including the information of the second slide data object based on the second link between the first slide data object and the second slide data object.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

obtaining, by the computer system, access levels of potential viewers of the first slide;

determining, by the computer system, a display status of data of the first slide according to the one or more access control levels; and

causing, by the computer system, display of the first slide of the slide presentation on a computer display device according to the display status.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein determining the display status further comprises:

determining, by the computer system, to display first data of the first slide for which the minimum access level among the potential viewers satisfies the access level of the first data; and

determining, by the computer system, not to display second data of the first slide for which the minimum access level among the potential viewers does not satisfy the access level of the second data.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein map data corresponding to the selected portion of the geographic region is linked to the first geographical data object of an object graph, and wherein modifications to the first geographical data object cause the visual representation of the selected portion of the geographic region in the first slide to be updated.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein determining the selection of a portion of the geographic region through the interface further comprises:

determining, by the computer system, map features to include within the selected portion.

12. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

generating, by the computer system, a third slide data object according to a second selection of a second portion of the geographic region, wherein the third slide data object references a portion of the map data corresponding to the second selection.
