  • Publication number: 20160357802
    Abstract: In a method for updating a database by transmitting a version of database segments, the database is divided into individual segments. To reduce the quantity of data to be transmitted and to reduce the computing expenditure, the segments are divided into segments to be updated explicitly and segments to be updated implicitly and a segment that is to be updated implicitly is updated together with a segment that is to be updated explicitly. Furthermore, an appropriately developed database installation is specified.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9378222
    Abstract: A method for updating a decentralized database, in particular a navigation database, that is subdivided into segments, by transmitting an updated segment from a central database subdivided into corresponding segments to the decentralized database, and by storing the updated segment in the decentralized database avoids inconsistencies in an only stepwise update in that the segments are modeled to a hierarchical model in the decentralized database, and in the updating of the segment the particular segments from which the segment depends are updated as well.
