Patent number: 7574428Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a requested map location includes providing a database holding a plurality of map objects having respective descriptors and loci. A search query including one or more query terms that describe the requested map location is accepted. One or more matched map objects are identified in the database such that the respective descriptors of the matched map objects each match at least one of the query terms. The respective loci of the matched map objects are processed to determine the requested map location.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Telmap LtdInventors: Eran Leiserowitz, Alexander Fagin

Patent number: 7089110Abstract: A method for navigation includes storing map data on a server, the map data including vector information delineating roads in a map. A portion of the vector information corresponding to an area in which a user of a mobile client device is traveling is downloaded from the server to the client device. Approximate position coordinates of the user are found using a location providing device associated with the client device and are corrected in the client device, using the downloaded vector information, so as to determine a location of the user on one of the roads in the map. A navigation aid is provided to the user of the client device based on the determined location.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2004Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Telmap Ltd.Inventors: Michael Pechatnikov, Michael Menachem Kupferman, Omry Yadan, Ilya Eckstein, Alexander Fagin, Oren Nissim

Publication number: 20060058949Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for the automatic optimal placement text or symbol labels corresponding to graphical objects on maps. Using a map server and a thin, typically mobile client, maps are dynamically drawn and displayed at the client. Optimized labeling of map objects is achieved by dividing the task into pipelined subtasks, some being performed off-line, and others being performed in real time, responsively to changing client requests, and changes in the map viewport. Optimization of candidate label positions is accomplished using simulated annealing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Applicant: TELMAP LTD.Inventors: Efraim Fogel, Eran Leiserowitz, Michael Kupferman, Alexander Fagin

Patent number: 6904360Abstract: A method for displaying a map includes storing map data on a server including a plurality of layers, which include vector information delineating features in the map belonging to a respective feature category, and a set of templates, each such template being associated with a respective one of the layers and indicating a visual characteristic of the features in the layer with which the template is associated. At least a subset of the templates is downloaded to a client device from the server, as is the vector information in a portion of one or more of the layers of the map data corresponding to a selected area of the map. Based on the downloaded vector information, an image of the selected area of the map is rendered on the client device in accordance with the visual characteristic indicated by the downloaded templates.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2003Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Telmap Ltd.Inventors: Michael Pechatnikov, Michael Menachem Kupferman, Omry Yadan, Ilya Eckstein, Alexander Fagin, Oren Nissim

Patent number: 6898516Abstract: A method for displaying a map on a mobile client device includes storing map data on a server, the map data defining objects appearing in the map and comprising vector coordinates of the objects in a predetermined frame of reference. Upon receiving at the server a request from the client device to provide a map of an area along a route on which a user of the client device is to travel, a heading of travel of the user on the route is determined, and the vector coordinates are transformed on the server into a rotated frame of reference, which is approximately aligned with the heading of the user. A portion of the map data corresponding to the area along the route and including the transformed vector coordinates is downloaded to the client device from the server. An image of the area of the map in the rotated frame of reference is rendered on the client device, based on the downloaded map data.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Telmap Ltd.Inventors: Michael Pechatnikov, Michael Menachem Kupferman, Omry Yadan, Ilya Eckstein, Alexander Fagin, Oren Nissim
