  • Locking of spatial regions of large-scale fully-connected multi-dimensional spatial data for collaborative updating
    Patent number: 11017594
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, techniques are provided for locking a region of fully-connected large-scale multi-dimensional spatial data (e.g., a large-scale 3-D mesh) defined by a bounding box. A region is associated with a lock state (e.g., exclusive or sharable). Clients may access the fully-connected large-scale multi-dimensional spatial data based on a comparison of the bounding box of the requested spatial data to the bounding boxes of other client's locks and their lock state.
    Type: Grant

  • Techniques for concurrently editing fully connected large-scale multi-dimensional spatial data
    Patent number: 10930087
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, techniques are provided for concurrently editing fully-connected large-scale multi-dimensional spatial data (e.g., a large-scale 3-D mesh) by ensuring that edits performed by multiple clients are non-conflicting edits that are “trivially” mergeable (e.g. mergeable simply via cut-and-paste operations). Conflicting edits may be prevented by locks (e.g., region-based locks). Non-conflicting edits that require “non-trivial” merging may be prevented through the use of marked read-only boundaries.
