Abstract: A method and electronic device for generating an index of segments of a polygon is disclosed. The method comprises segmenting a reference zone, which covers at least a portion of a map enclosing all segments of the polygon, into first level zones. Responsive to at least one segment being at least partially located within more than one first level zones, the method comprises indexing the at least one segment in association with the reference zone. The method also comprises, until a terminal condition is met, iteratively: (i) segmenting a given zone into subsequent level zones, where the given zone is a parent zone to the subsequent level zones, and (ii) responsive to at least one other segment being at least partially located within more than one subsequent level zones, indexing the at least one other segment in association with the given zone.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for dynamically optimizing map service performance and, particularly, tile quality and detail. An example system includes a server configured to receive from a user device a request for at least one map tile and transmit instructions to the user device to determine characteristics of the user device. The server then receives the characteristics of the user device, the characteristics including one or more of processor type, total memory, graphics subsystem type, current processor load, current number of operations executed by the processor, available memory, and internet connection speed. The server then optimizes the at least one tile based on the characteristics of the user device and transmits to the user device the at least one map tile that is optimized based on the characteristics of the user device for display on the user device.

Abstract: Method, electronic device, and computer-readable medium storing program instructions for selectively loading a set of modules nominally required by a first module for processing a potential set of objects, the method comprising: receiving an indication of an actual set of objects to be processed using the first module, the actual set of objects being a proper subset of the potential set of objects; performing an analysis of the members of the actual set of objects; based on the analysis, identifying a relevant set of modules actually required by the first module for processing the actual set of objects, the relevant set of modules being a proper subset of the set of modules; and loading, from a first memory to a second memory, only those members of the set of modules that are also members of the relevant set of modules.
