Image mapping to provide visual geographic path
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for mapping a visual path, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device including a processor, one or more images of a predefined area;
integrating, by the computing device, the one or more images into a map of the predefined area, wherein the integrating includes a time parameter associated with the one or more images, wherein the time parameter provides an interval for displaying or retrieving images;
mapping, by the computing device, a visual path through the predefined area, wherein the mapping includes an input path parameter associated with the predefined area, wherein the input path parameter includes location information;
receiving, by the computing device, an identifier associated with an object of at least one of the one or more images, wherein the object is associated with the visual path, wherein the object is associated with the time parameter, wherein the object is associated with a location parameter, and wherein an object location is periodically updated; and
altering, by the computing device, the visual path based at least on an action from the identifier.
