  • Patent number: 10890461
    Abstract: A method for enriching map functions of a digital geographical map is provided. Additional data are stored in a storage unit outside map data of the digital geographical map and direct related map metadata. Elements of the additional data are correlated to coordinates of the digital geographical map. Further, access is provided to the additional data via an authentication service while navigating the geographical map.

  • Publication number: 20110154111
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for managing hardware breakpoints within a computing environment comprising a processor and a memory unit with addressable words being extended using metadata. A setting or deleting of a breakpoint is issued at a specific address within the memory unit by forwarding from the processor to the memory unit the metadata. An addressable word is requested from the memory unit by forwarding a physical address of the addressable word via an address bus from the processor to the memory unit. The physical address is decoded to find the addressable word within the memory unit. Responsive to the metadata associated with the addressable word being available, the metadata is provided to the processor. A checking is made as to whether a breakpoint is set in the metadata. Responsive to the breakpoint being found in the metadata, an interrupt is triggered thereby executing the breakpoint.
