Patent number: 9842380Abstract: Various methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing aspects of a digital mapping system are disclosed. One such method includes sending a location request from a client-side computing device to a map tile server, receiving a set of map tiles in response to the location request, assembling said received map tiles into a tile grid, aligning the tile grid relative to a clipping shape, and displaying the result as a map image. Direction control or zoom control objects may be included as interactive overlays on the displayed map image. The displayed map image may also include route or location overlays.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2011Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen, Lars Eilstrup Rasmussen, Bret Steven Taylor, James Christopher Norris, Stephen Ma, Andrew Robert Kirmse, Noel Phillip Gordon, Seth Michael LaForge

Patent number: 8655998Abstract: An end-to-end approach is provided for developing and maintaining network device management applications. The approach includes an XML-based development environment for network device management applications that uses Management Data API (MDA) schemas that define a hierarchical data model for components supported by a network device. The XML-based development environment also uses XML schemas to define a common XML-based interface used by management applications to access management data maintained on the network device. The approach provides programmatic access to network device management data and management data schema with an XML-based data model and interface that is consistent across all network device components. The approach includes mechanisms for automatically generating XML requests that conform to a hierarchical data model from requests that conform to a table-based data model.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2003Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Satyanarayana Raju, Christopher Norris, Lei Yuan, David Anthony Tanner

Patent number: 7921190Abstract: A method and system for interactively configuring a network device is disclosed. A computer based method interactively configures a network device such as a router. A document is displayed to a user of a client computer, which is coupled to the network device via a network. The document contains a configuration for the network device in a text format. The user edits the document to make a change in the configuration of the network device. The change in the configuration is sent to the network device. The change can be sent without sending the entire configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: David Tanner, Christopher Norris

Patent number: 7853676Abstract: A method and apparatus for the configuration of a network device through the exchange of XML documents is provided. A network device transmits multiple chunks of an XML document to a client in response to the size of the XML document being larger than a configurable size. The client does not receive any XML documents from network device that exceed the configurable size, and may abort receiving additional chunks of the XML document. The client and the network device may each discover which version of a data schema each other is using to reference components of the network device. The exchanged XML documents include version data that identifies a version for a plurality of data schemas that are each associated with a component of network device. The client and the network device may thus avoid exchanging ambiguous communications due to inconsistent versions of a data schema.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.
