Patent number: 11429581Abstract: A method and/or system for managing a database that stores space-time context objects is provided. The system receives a query range in a multi-dimensional space. The system maps the query range into a set of fragments of a space-filling curve that fills the multi-dimensional space in all dimensions of the multi-dimensional space. The system uses each mapped fragment in the set of mapped fragments as a key to query the database for space-time context objects that are mapped to the space-filling curve. The system queries the database by identifying one or more context objects that intersect the mapped fragment at the space-filling curve.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ning Duan, Chun Yang Ma, Makoto Tanibayashi, Zhi Hu Wang, Shoichiro Watanabe, Nan Xia, Xin Zhang, Jun Zhu
