  • Patent number: 12698976
    Abstract: A method for generating scenic routes through weighted two-dimensional (2D) points to visualize a movement of a user through the scenic routes with scenic views corresponding to a virtual environment is provided. The method includes (i) receiving input data from an input data source, (ii) determining one or more scenic points in the input data, (iii) generating one or more scenic paths for each scenic point of each pair of points based on a first condition, (iv) generating a scenic graph by aggregating intersection points and edges of each scenic path, and (v) generating the scenic routes by applying any one of one or more route-generating methods on the scenic graph based on a second condition to visualize the movement of the user through the scenic routes with the scenic views corresponding to the virtual environment.

  • Publication number: 20260029240
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a system for generating scenic routes with scenic views in a virtual 2D environment using route-generating methods. The system includes a scenic route-finding unit connected to an input data source through a network. The scenic route-finding unit comprises a processor that receives input data, including media content images with points of interest (POIs) and user preferences for the desired route length. It determines scenic points based on the coordinates of POIs, using a condition that each scenic point is equidistant from a randomly selected pair of POIs. The iterative selection continues until the desired route length is achieved. The processor generates scenic paths by forming lines and determining bisectors between POIs, creates a scenic graph by identifying intersection points and edges, and produces the scenic route by applying route-generating methods on the graph, enabling user navigation with corresponding scenic views.
