Overview
An interactive vehicle information map system (“map system”) is disclosed in which, in various embodiments, large amounts of geographical, geospatial, vehicle, and other types of data, geodata, objects, features, and/or metadata are efficiently presented to a user on an interactive map interface. In various embodiments, the interactive vehicle information map system allows for rapid and deep searching, retrieval, and/or analysis of various vehicle-related data, objects, features, and/or metadata by the user. In an embodiment, the user may search vehicle-related data via the interactive map by providing search criteria including, for example, information regarding a geographic area, a time period, a vehicle, a vehicle owner, and/or a license plate number, among other items. In some embodiments, a search may include multiple separate geographic regions, such that vehicles located within one (or both) of the geographic regions are included in search results. The map system may provide search results including a list of vehicles that match the search criteria, vehicle information, and/or points on the interactive map that indicate license plate recognition read locations, among other information. In an embodiment, the user may view detailed information associated with particular vehicles including, for example, captured images, vehicle-owner data, event history, and the like. In some embodiments, alerts may be configured by a user (or as a system default) to provide vehicle information to a user as updated information matching the user's search query is accessed by the map system.
Definitions
In order to facilitate an understanding of the systems and methods discussed herein, a number of terms are defined below. The terms defined below, as well as other terms used herein, should be construed to include the provided definitions, the ordinary and customary meaning of the terms, and/or any other implied meaning for the respective terms. Thus, the definitions below do not limit the meaning of these terms, but only provide exemplary definitions.
User or individual: a single person or a group of people, such as, for example, married couples or domestic partners, organizations, groups, and business entities. Additionally, the terms may be used interchangeably. In some embodiments, the terms refer to a computing device of a user rather than, or in addition to, one or more actual human operators of the computing device.
Database: A broad term for any data structure or data store for storing and/or organizing data, including, but not limited to, relational databases (Oracle database, MySQL database, etc.), non-relational databases (Elasticsearch, etc.), spreadsheets, XML files, and/or text files, among others.
Data Object, Object, or Feature: A data container for information representing specific things in the world that have a number of definable properties. For example, a data object can represent an entity such as a vehicle, a person, a place, an organization, a market instrument, or other noun. A data object can represent an event that happens at a point in time or for a duration. A data object may be associated with a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the data object. The object's attributes (for example, metadata about the object) may be represented in one or more properties. For the purposes of the present disclosure, the terms “event,” “feature,” “data object,” and “object” may be used interchangeably to refer to items displayed on the map interface of the interactive vehicle information map system, and/or otherwise accessible to the user through the interactive vehicle information map system. Examples of events/objects include, but are not limited to, license-plate reads, traffic incidents (such as accidents), parking information, law enforcement activities (for example, traffic citations), vehicles, persons (for example, vehicle owners), and the like.
Properties: Also referred to as “metadata,” includes attributes of a data object/feature. At a minimum, each property/metadata of a data object has a type (such as a property type) and a value or values. Properties/metadata associated with features/objects may include any information relevant to that feature/object. Events/objects may be associated with various other events/objects, metadata and/or properties. For example, a vehicle object may be associated with various vehicle owner information, traffic incidents, license-plate reads, and the like.
Vehicle: A broad term that may, in various embodiments, refer to any of various types of machines including bicycles, automobiles (such as cars and trucks), motorcycles, boats, trains, and/or airplanes, among others.
Vehicle-Related Data: Any type of data and/or information related to a vehicle. Examples may include license plate recognition data, vehicle license plate data, vehicle owner information data, vehicle incident data, parking information data, and the like. Vehicle-related data may be obtained from a single database or multiple databases. The single and/or multiple databases from which vehicle-related data may be obtained may be operated, maintained, and/or owned by various entities. For example, vehicle-related data may be obtained from public entities, private entities, law enforcement entities, government entities (for example, a department of motor vehicles (“DMV”)), license plate recognition sources, and the like.
License Plate Recognition (“LPR”): Also referred to as Automatic License Plate Recognition (“ALPR”). Any process or system that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates (for example, vehicle license plates). For example, license plate recognition may be accomplished by capturing a vehicle license plate with a camera mounted on a stoplight, on law enforcement vehicle, on a tow truck, or on any other type of vehicle, and/or near a road. The characters of the license plate may then be determined by optical character recognition to identify the vehicle. An image of the vehicle, an image of the license plate, the determined license plate characters, information related to the identified vehicle, information related to the registered vehicle owner, and/or any other type of information may be stored in one or more databases as part of license plate recognition. The present disclosure may use the terms “license plate recognition event” and/or “license plate recognition read” interchangeably to refer to particular events in which a license plate is read by an LPR process.
Search Query: a set of properties usable to identify particular data objects associated with the properties. Search results are the set of data objects identified as associated with the properties of the search query. A search query may include vehicle-related properties defining characteristics of vehicles that should be included in the corresponding search results. For example, a search query may include a vehicle color, geographic region, and time period. Search results for this example query would include vehicles located in the geographic region during the time period that are the indicated vehicle color. A search query may be executed in real-time as attributes are defined by a user and/or on an ongoing or periodic basis in order to trigger delivery of alerts to the user when new search results are located.
Scene: a combination of a location and time search query attributes. For example, a user may define a scene to include a geographic region define via an interactive map interface and a time period. The map system may then include the scene criteria in the search query (or the scene criteria may be the only attributes of the search query) in identifying any matching vehicles. In some embodiments, multiple scenes may be included in a search query, either in an “and” or “or relationship.
Alert or notification (which may be used interchangeably): information regarding a search query that is provided to a user and/or automatically transmitted to a device operated by the user after the search query has been established. An alert can be transmitted at the time that the alert is identified by the map system or at some determined time after identification of the alert. When received by the user's device, the alert can cause the device to display the alert and/or notification via the activation of an application on the device (e.g., a browser, a mobile application, etc.). For example, receipt of the alert may automatically activate an application on the device, such as a messaging application (e.g., SMS or MMS messaging application), a standalone application (e.g., a vehicle tracking application provided to the user by the map system discussed herein), or a browser, for example, and display information included in the alert. If the device is offline when the alert is transmitted, the application may be automatically activated when the device is online such that the alert is displayed. As another example, receipt of the alert may cause a browser to open and be redirected to a login page generated by the map system so that the user can log in to the map system and view the alert. Alternatively, the alert may include a URL of a webpage (or other online information) associated with the alert, such that when the device (e.g., a mobile device) receives the alert, a browser (or other application) is automatically activated and the URL included in the alert is accessed via the Internet. The alert may be determined based on preferences stored in a data store.

Embodiments of the disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein like numerals refer to like elements throughout. The terminology used in the description presented herein is not intended to be interpreted in any limited or restrictive manner, simply because it is being utilized in conjunction with a detailed description of certain specific embodiments of the disclosure. Furthermore, embodiments of the disclosure may include several novel features, no single one of which is solely responsible for its desirable attributes or which is essential to practicing the embodiments of the disclosure herein described.
The map interface 102 of
In various embodiments, the user interface of
The map interface 102 may include various highlighted objects. For example, the map interface 102 may include roads, buildings and structures, utilities, lakes, rivers, vegetation, and railroads, among other objects. The user may interact with the map interface 102 by, for example, rolling over and/or clicking on various objects. In one embodiment, rolling over and/or placing the mouse pointer over an object may cause the object to be outlined and/or otherwise highlighted. In the embodiment shown, various license plate recognition events are shown in the map interface 102, each represented by colored or shaded dots (such as icon 115). In this example, the locations of the objects on the map indicate the locations of the license plate recognition events (also referred to as license plate recognition reads).
The user of the map system may interact with the user interface (as shown in
In various embodiments, a user may provide various textual queries to the map system via the search box 104. For example, the user may search for a particular geographical location, such as a city, state, and/or zip code. Matching locations may be shown in a dropdown box, which the user may select. Selection of a search result may cause the map interface 102 to move and/or zoom to the selected location. In various embodiments, the user may use the search box 104 to search for various objects that may or may not be displayed on the map interface 102.
In various embodiments, the user may select the ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) button 108 to cause, for example, the map system to display various license plate recognition events on the map interface 102 (for example, icon 115). For example, the user may select the ALPR button 108 and, in response, the map system may display any available license plate recognition events on a currently visible portion of the map shown in the map interface 102. In another embodiment, the ALPR button 108 button may be used to toggle display of license plate recognition events on the map interface 102. In an embodiment, the user may select the ALPR button 108 to reveal the search query box 110.
In various embodiments, the user may select the geosearch button 106 to perform a geosearch and/or to reveal the search query box 110. In various embodiments, the term “geosearch” may refer to searches performed via the map system in which a particular geographic area and/or location of interest is defined. In an embodiment, selection of the geosearch button 106 may cause a user interface to be displayed in which the user may provide an address and/or draw a location on the map interface. For example, the user can draw a dotted circle 118 to indicate an area of interest. The geosearch may also be filtered using various vehicle-related attributes, such as those discussed below.
In various embodiments, the example user interface of
The user may use the search query box 110 to perform various searches of vehicle-related data. For example, the user may provide various items of search criteria including, for example, information regarding a geographic area, a time period, a vehicle, a vehicle owner, and/or a license plate number, among other items. In an embodiment, under required information 112, the user may provide a custom time period of interest (including a start and end date/time). By providing a start and end date, the user may limit the search of vehicle-related data to a specific time period of interest. The user may provide the start time and the end time by typing into a textbox in some embodiments. For example, the user may be researching an event that occurred on Mar. 1, 2013, at 3:00 PM. Accordingly, the user may limit the search of vehicle-related data to Mar. 1, 2013, between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, so as to limit the search to the most relevant information and/or time period. In some embodiments, the map system can provide the user a calendar format user interface element to select the start time and the end time. For example, the user may type part of the date and a calendar format interface element may pop up. The calendar format interface element may give the use the choice to select a specific start time and a specific end time. In some embodiments, the user interface may further include buttons for shortcuts for a specified time of the start time and the end time. The button may indicate a time period of “last week”, “yesterday”, “last month”, or “last year.” The user may select a button to enter a specific time period based on the time when the user is using the map system. In an embodiment, time period information may be required to perform a search via the search query box 110. In another, embodiment, time period information may not be required to perform a search via the search query box 110. As noted above, a search query that is limited by at least one geographic region, time period, and/or other criteria, may be referred to herein as a scene. As discussed further below, the map system allows a user to select multiple scenes and can then updated search results based on the multiples scenes.
Additionally, in various embodiments, the user may provide various search parameters by entering information into text boxes under search parameters 114. For example, the user may provide whole and/or partial information related to any of a license plate number, a vehicle description, a registered owner, and/or a geographical location. Multiple types of information may be provided in the same search, and/or multiple types of information may be provided for each search parameter. For example, the user may provide part of a vehicle description and a geographic location and/or a license plate number. As shown in
In some embodiments, the user may provide an address by selecting the “ADD LOCATION” button 160. The user may provide an address of interest, a latitude and longitude of interest, and/or other geographic identifier. Further, the user may specify a search radius. The user may also draw a shape to indicate a geographic area of interest on the map interface directly in which to limit a search. In various embodiments, the user may draw various shapes (for example, a circle, an ellipse a rectangle, a polygon, and/or any arbitrary as defined by straight and/or curved edges) on the map to define a geographic area of interest in which to limit a search. For example, the user may draw a dotted circle 118 on the map interface 102. After the user draws the dotted circle 118, the map system can update the user interface to indicate the address of interest and/or a latitude and longitude of interest with a radius associated with the dotted circle 118 on the interactive map. The user can manually increase or decrease the radius of the search area by changing the size of the dotted circle 118. The user can also change the search area by moving the relevant map tiles into the circle 118. For example, after the user draws the search area 118, the user can drag another area of interest into the search area 118 while the search area 118 remains stationary.
Furthermore, in various embodiments the user may provide multiple license plate numbers in “Plate Number” search boxes 132. The user may provide multiple license plate numbers by selecting an “ADD” button 130 and adding another license plate number as illustrated in
In some embodiments, the user may add another scene to the search query by selecting “ADD ANOTHER CRITERIA” button 140. The map system can update the user interface to include a new set of user interface elements as shown in
In some embodiments, the user may provide more than one search areas by drawing more than one area of interest on the interactive map. In various embodiments, the user may draw various shapes (for example, a circle, an ellipse a rectangle, a polygon, and/or any arbitrary as defined by straight and/or curved edges) on the map to define a geographic area of interest in which to limit a search. For example, the user may provide two search areas by drawing a first dotted circle 118 and a second dotted circle 150 as illustrated in
In an embodiment, the user may select the search button 116 and/or the “VIEW RESULTS” button to perform the specified search. In an embodiment, the user may select the “CLEAR” button to clear the provided search criteria.
In an embodiment, the user may select the save search button 117 to save the search and/or generate a search alert. For example, in an embodiment the user may provide search criteria (as described above), perform a search (by, for example, pressing the search button 116) to verify the results of the search meet the user's needs, and then select the save search button 117. Selection of the save search button 117 may, in an embodiment, save the provided search criteria such that a future search may be easily initiated by the user by, for example, selecting the saved search from a list.
In some embodiments, selection of the save search button 117 may initiate a search alert. A search alert may include a periodic re-running of the specified search (using the provided search criteria) and delivery of search results to the user. In an embodiment, the user may indicate the frequency with which the saved search is to be run. In an embodiment, the user may specify how search results are to be delivered. For example, the user may specify an email address, username, phone number, etc. Alternatively, search alert results may be provided as a pop up window in the user interface of the map system, and/or by any other delivery method. In an embodiment, only new search results may be delivered to the user. For example, the user may initiate a search alert for a particular license plate number, in a particular area, for any time period. Subsequent to the initial search, when any new LPR read of the specified license plate number in the specified area (and/or satisfying other search criteria) is found by the map system, the user may be notified via a search alert.
In an embodiment, the map system may include a user interface through which the user may modify and/or view saved searches, and/or create new saved searches. For example, the user interface of
As shown, in an embodiment the search results box 202 may include various vehicles that may be identified by the map system as having vehicle-related data that satisfy the search criteria. For example, in an embodiment the map system may search any available vehicle-related data to identify data satisfying the provided search criteria. Then, the identified vehicle-related data may be analyzed by the map system to determine vehicles with which the data is associated. Next, the determined vehicles may be listed in the search results box 202, including various items of related data. In an embodiment, multiple items of identified vehicle-related data that satisfy the search criteria may be related to the same vehicle. For example, multiple License Plate Recognition events (also referred to as License Plate Recognition reads) for the same vehicle may match the provide scene(s) search criteria. In this example, each of the related License Plate Recognition events, and associated vehicle data, may be aggregated and displayed as a single vehicle in the search results box 202, with a listing of the separate LPR reads available in response to selection of the information regarding the vehicle in search results box 202, for example. This process is further described in reference to
Various vehicles having vehicle-related data meeting the search criteria may be displayed in a list, as shown in
Vehicle data associated with groups of objects (e.g., objects in search results of a scene) may be aggregated and displayed, such as by indicating a quantity of vehicle objects (or vehicle objects with unique license plate numbers in some embodiments) as a grouping number on the interactive map (and/or elsewhere). In some embodiments, the grouping number may appear in a circle or any other shapes that is sized to indicate the grouping area from which the grouping number was determined. In the example of
In some embodiments, if the user wants to change the search radius or the area of interest, the user may resize the dotted circle 118 to make it cover more or less area. The map system can then update associated vehicle information in the result list 202. The map system may then update the grouping information, such as updating grouping members, quantities of objects in each grouping, etc., based on the new geographic area of interest.
In an embodiment, a save search button, similar to the save search button 117 described above in reference to

In various embodiments, a user of the interactive vehicle information map system may view, in addition to Automatic License Plate Recognition data, various other items of information in the map interface. For example, a user may view locations of events associated with law enforcement activities, traffic incidents (such as parking tickets, moving violations, and the like), parking information (such as in public parking lot, meter information), License Plate Number camera locations, and/or the like (such as emergency calls, and the like). In another example, the user may view locations of registered owner addresses. In various embodiments, the various items of information shown on the map interface (including, for example, License Plate Recognition reads, License Plate Recognition camera locations, parking information, traffic events, law enforcement events, registered owner addresses, and the like) may be indicated by particular icons. For example, a registered owner address may be indicated by a house icon, a traffic event may be indicated by a vehicle icon, and/or an LPR camera location may be indicated by a camera icon. In various embodiments, the user may selectively view, in the map interface, one or more of the items of information mentioned above. Further, the user may view items of information associated with particular selected vehicles, persons, search results, and/or the like. In an embodiment, the map system may display the locations of fixed LPR cameras and/or mobile LPR camera for a given time period, for example.

As discussed above, the user may select and/or hover a cursor over any grouping on the interactive map to cause the map system to update vehicle information in the result list 202. Additionally, in some embodiments the user may select and/or hover a cursor over any grouping indicator on the interactive map to cause the map system to update the interactive timeline to reflect the number of matching events (e.g., License Plate reads) within the selected grouping.
In some embodiments, the user may select and/or hover a cursor over a column in the interactive timeline to cause the map system to update the grouping number in the map interface. For example, when the user selects grouping 250 (indicating 16 events) in the search area 118 in the map interface, the map system will update the interactive timeline to reflect only the License Plate reads associated with the 16 instances and the search result list 202 will be updated as well. In some embodiments, elements of the timeline 401 are selectable to filter the listed vehicles and information on the map. For example, When the user selects the column 404 in the interactive timeline, the map system will update the map interface to reflect only the groupings associated with the time period represented by column 404. Additionally, selection of column 404 may cause the search result list to updated to indicate only the events associated with that time period.
In some embodiments, when the user selects a vehicle in the listed search result in the search result list 202, the map system will update the map interface and the interactive timeline to reflect only the events associated with the selected vehicle. The user may select more than one grouping in the map interface to cause the update in the interactive timeline and the search result list 202. The user may also select more than one column in the interactive timeline to cause updates in the map interface and the search result list 202. The user may also select more than one vehicle in the search result list 202 to cause the updates in the map interface and the interactive timeline.

In an embodiment, the interactive heatmap may include shading, highlighting, and/or other visual indicator of the absolute (or relative to the other time periods) number of events associated with the corresponding time period. For example, the higher the number, the darker the intersection is highlighted, where darker highlighting indicates that during that specific hour of the week there are more License Plate reads than the lighter highlighted intersections. Additionally, in some embodiments, the user may combine time periods in the heatmap 501, such as by merge two hour indicators of the heatmap 501. Such combinations may be implemented by dragging one time period into another. For example, the user may drag the 3 PM column into the 4 PM column and the interactive heatmap will update to merge the two columns into one 3 PM to 5 PM column. The user may also delete a certain hour by right clicking or double clicking the hour number.
As discussed above, the user may select and/or hover a cursor over any search areas (e.g., search areas 118 or 150) and/or grouping (e.g., the four numbered circles within search area 118) on the interactive map to cause the map system to update vehicle information in the result list 202. For example, the user may select and/or hover a cursor over any grouping area on the map interface to cause the map system to update the interactive heatmap to reflect the number of events within the selected grouping area. Also, the user may select and/or hover a cursor over an intersection in the interactive heatmap to cause the map system to update the grouping numbers in the map interface. For example, when the user selects the grouping 250 (indicating a grouping of 16 events) in the search area 118 in the map interface, the map system will update the interactive heatmap to reflect only the License Plate reads associated with the 16 instances and the search result list 202 will be updated as well. When the user selects the intersection 510 in the interactive heatmap, the map system will update the map interface to reflect only the groupings having events that are part of the selected time period. Additionally, when the user selects a vehicle in the listed search result in the search result list 202, the map system will update the map interface and the interactive heatmap to reflect only the License Pate reads associated with the selected vehicle. The user may select more than one grouping in the map interface to cause updates in the interactive heatmap and the search result list 202. The user may also select more than one intersection in the interactive heatmap to cause updates in the map interface and the search result list 202. The user may also select more than one vehicle in the search result list 202 to cause the updates in the map interface and the interactive heatmap.
Example Operations
At block 602, various vehicle-related data may be received and/or accessed by the map system from various databases and/or data sources (including, for example, from databases maintained by private entities, law enforcement entities, government entities (for example, a department of motor vehicles (“DMV”)), LPR sources, and the like. In an embodiment, the vehicle-related data may be received at a server-side component of the map system, such as the application server 858 of
At block 608, the user may interact with the user interface of the map system in any of the ways described above, and as further described below in reference to
In various embodiments, the map system may access various internal and/or external databases in response to user actions. The various accessed internal and/or external databases may or may not include the processed vehicle-related data described above. For example, in response to a user request for information related to a particular person, the map system may access an external public or private parking database for parking information related to the particular person. In various embodiments, the map system may “iteratively search” for data and information in response to a user action, for example, a search and/or selection of a particular vehicle and/or person. For example, in an embodiment, in response to an initial search for a particular license plate, the map system may, in a first iteration, access DMV data to determine information related to the particular license plate (for example, a registered owner name and address, and a vehicle description and vehicle identification number). Then, the map system may perform a second search iteration in which the obtained DMV data is used to access related data and information in a parking information and/or law enforcement database (for example, to obtain citation information related to the determined vehicle and/or parking information related to the determined vehicle owner). Further, the map system may, in a third iteration, access additional databases (including previously accessed databases) to determine various other items of information related to data obtained in the second (and/or first) iteration. For example, the map system may access property ownership records related to a parking instance determined to be related to the vehicle owner. In various embodiments, data and information accessed in various “iterative” searches may include data objects. In an embodiment, the data and information accessed during interactive searches may be clustered. Examples of data clustering may be found in, for example, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/968,265, filed Aug. 15, 2013, titled “GENERATING DATA CLUSTERS WITH CUSTOMIZABLE ANALYSIS STRATEGIES,” and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/968,213, filed Aug. 15, 2013, titled “PRIORITIZING DATA CLUSTERS WITH CUSTOMIZABLE SCORING STRATEGIES,” each of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety and for all purposes.
At block 612, the identified vehicle-related data satisfying the one or more set of search criteria is organized into, and/or associated with, one or more vehicles. For example, two LPR reads may have been identified that meet the search criteria and include information related to a same or similar vehicle. For example, each of the LPR reads may indicate a license plate number of XRZ456. In another example, the two LPR reads may have similar license plate numbers, but they may differ slightly due to errors in optical character recognition (for example, one may indicate XRZ456, while the other may indicate XRZ458). In this example, other information related to the License Plate reads, such as identified vehicle color, or determined owner information, may provide sufficient information to the map system that the License Plate reads may be associated with the same vehicle.
Once the vehicle-related data is organized by vehicle, at block 611 the map system may optionally access additional vehicle-related data from other sources that is determined to be related to the identified vehicles. For example, DMV information may indicate an owner and vehicle description associated with the vehicle with license plate XRZ456. Further, parking information data may indicate various events related to either the indicated owner and/or the vehicle with license plate XRZ456. Any such additional data may be accessed, aggregated, and associated with the identified vehicle such that it may be made available to the user of the map system.
At optional block 614 a search alert may be generated by the map system in response to the user selection (as described above). At optional block 616, the organized vehicle data may be exported in response to a user selection (as described above). At block 618, the user interface may be updated in response to the operator's actions. For example, search results may be displayed, vehicle detailed information may be displayed; objects may be displayed on a map interface, among other interface updates described above.
In various embodiments, vehicle-related data may be received and processed by the map system at any time and/or continuously. In an embodiment, vehicle-related data may be updated even as the user is viewing the data on the user interface. For example, in an embodiment, the user may use the map system to analyze substantially real-time vehicle-related data. Additionally, if the user wants another has finished the first search, the user can make another search. The map system can loop back to block 608 through the loop process 620.
At block 702, the user interface is provided to the user, and at block 704 an input from the user is received as described above in reference to
In an embodiment, the user inputs may be provided at client-side devices of the map system, such as computing device(s) 852 of
At block 718, the client-side components receive the updated map tile and vehicle information from the server, and at block 720 the user interface is updated with the received information. At block 722, after the user interface is updated, the user can further interact with the user interface to request to view an interactive timeline and/or an interactive heatmap. At block 724, the user request may result in queries to the server with regard to the accessed tile and vehicle information from block 718. In various embodiments, the sever-side components then update and generate an interactive timeline and/or an interactive heatmap at block 726.
In an embodiment, additional information and/or data, in addition to updated map tiles, may be transmitted to the client-side components from the server-side components. For example, object metadata may be transmitted in response to a user selecting an object.
In an embodiment, one or more blocks in
Advantageously, in various embodiments the interactive vehicle information map system enables a user to efficiently search through large amounts of vehicle-related data from many disparate sources. The user may, for example, specify various search criteria including time frames, geographic areas, license plate numbers, vehicle descriptions, and/or owner descriptions. Further, search results may be organized into particular vehicles. In various embodiments, vehicle-related data may be plotted on an interactive map. Additionally, a user may export search results and/or initiate a search alert.
Implementation Mechanisms
In an embodiment, the computing device(s) 852 may be any computing devices capable of displaying software applications to a user and receiving input from the user. For example, the computing device(s) 852 may include smartphones, tablets, laptops, and/or other types of computing devices. The computing device(s) 852 may also be capable of communicating over the network 856, for example, to request data from, and/or to data to, the application server 858.
In some embodiments, the computing device(s) 852 may include non-transitory computer-readable medium storage for storing vehicle-related data and/or other map application data. For example, computing device(s) 852 may include one or more software modules 854 that may implement aspects of the functionality of the interactive vehicle information map system. The software module(s) 854 may be configured to present the map application to a user and receive interactions from the user. Additional aspects, operations, and/or functionality of computing device(s) 852 are described in further detail in reference to
The network 856 may be any wired network, wireless network, or combination thereof. In addition, the network 856 may be a personal area network, local area network, wide area network, cable network, satellite network, cellular telephone network, or combination thereof. Protocols and components for communicating via the Internet or any of the other aforementioned types of communication networks are well known to those skilled in the art of computer communications and thus, need not be described in more detail herein.
The application server 858 is a computing device, similar to the computing devices described above, that may perform a variety of tasks to implement the operations of the interactive vehicle information map system. The interaction server may include one or more software modules 870 that may be configured to, for example, receive vehicle-related data, process vehicle-related data, generate map tiles, process inputs from the user, and/or update the user interface. Additional aspects, operations, and/or functionality of application server 858 are described in further detail in referenced to
The application server 858 may be in communication with data source(s) 860. The data source(s) 860 may include, for example, parking information data sources, DMV data sources, LPR data sources, and/or other public, private, and/or government data sources. One or more of the data source(s) 860 may include electronic storage local to the application server 858. The data source(s) 860 may be embodied in hard disk drives, solid state memories, and/or any other type of non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium remotely or locally accessible to the application server 858. The data source(s) 860 may also be distributed or partitioned across multiple storage devices as is known in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
In various embodiments, the map system may be accessible by the user through a web-based viewer, such as a web browser. In this embodiment, the user interface may be generated by the application server 858 and transmitted to the web browser of the user. Alternatively, data necessary for generating the user interface may be provided by the application server 858 to the browser, where the user interface may be generated. The user may then interact with the user interface through the web-browser. In an embodiment, the user interface of the interactive vehicle information map system may be accessible through a dedicated software application. In an embodiment, the user interface of the interactive vehicle information map system may be accessible through a mobile computing device, such as a smartphone and/or tablet. In this embodiment, the application server 858 may generate and transmit a user interface to the mobile computing device. Alternatively, the mobile computing device may include modules for generating the user interface, and the application server 858 may provide user interaction data to the mobile computing device. In an embodiment, the application server 858 comprises a mobile computing device.
According to various embodiments, the interactive vehicle information map system and other methods and techniques described herein are implemented by one or more special-purpose computing devices. The special-purpose computing devices may be hard-wired to perform the techniques, or may include digital electronic devices such as one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that are persistently programmed to perform the techniques, or may include one or more general purpose hardware processors programmed to perform the techniques pursuant to program instructions in firmware, memory, other storage, or a combination. Such special-purpose computing devices may also combine custom hard-wired logic, ASICs, or FPGAs with custom programming to accomplish the techniques. The special-purpose computing devices may be desktop computer systems, server computer systems, portable computer systems, handheld devices, networking devices or any other device or combination of devices that incorporate hard-wired and/or program logic to implement the techniques.
Computing device(s) are generally controlled and coordinated by operating system software, such as iOS, Android, Chrome OS, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server, Windows CE, Unix, Linux, SunOS, Solaris, iOS, Blackberry OS, VxWorks, or other compatible operating systems. In other embodiments, the computing device may be controlled by a proprietary operating system. Conventional operating systems control and schedule computer processes for execution, perform memory management, provide file system, networking, I/O services, and provide a user interface functionality, such as a graphical user interface (“GUI”), among other things.
For example,
Computer system 800 also includes a main memory 806, such as a random access memory (RAM), cache and/or other dynamic storage devices, coupled to bus 802 for storing information and instructions to be executed by processor 804. Main memory 806 also may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by processor 804. Such instructions, when stored in storage media accessible to processor 804, render computer system 800 into a special-purpose machine that is customized to perform the operations specified in the instructions.
Computer system 800 further includes a read only memory (ROM) 808 or other static storage device coupled to bus 802 for storing static information and instructions for processor 804. A storage device 810, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, or USB thumb drive (Flash drive), etc., is provided and coupled to bus 802 for storing information and instructions.
Computer system 800 may be coupled via bus 802 to a display 812, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), LCD display, or touch screen display, for displaying information to a computer user and/or receiving input from the user or operator. An input device 814, including alphanumeric and other keys, is coupled to bus 802 for communicating information and command selections to processor 804. Another type of user input device is cursor control 816, such as a mouse, a trackball, or cursor direction keys for communicating direction information and command selections to processor 804 and for controlling cursor movement on display 812. This input device typically has two degrees of freedom in two axes, a first axis (e.g., x) and a second axis (e.g., y), that allows the device to specify positions in a plane. In some embodiments, the same direction information and command selections as cursor control may be implemented via receiving touches on a touch screen without a cursor.
Computing system 800 may include modules configured to generate a user interface, map interface, and/or the various other aspects of the interactive vehicle information map system. These modules may include, for example, software module(s) 854 and/or software module(s) 870 described above, among others. The modules may be stored in a mass storage device as executable software codes that are executed by the computing device(s). This and other modules may include, by way of example, components, such as software components, object-oriented software components, class components and task components, processes, functions, attributes, procedures, subroutines, segments of program code, drivers, firmware, microcode, circuitry, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays, and variables.
In general, the word “module,” as used herein, refers to logic embodied in hardware or firmware, or to a collection of software instructions, possibly having entry and exit points, written in a programming language, such as, for example, Java, Lua, C or C++. A software module may be compiled and linked into an executable program, installed in a dynamic link library, or may be written in an interpreted programming language such as, for example, BASIC, Perl, or Python. It will be appreciated that software modules may be callable from other modules or from themselves, and/or may be invoked in response to detected events or interrupts. Software modules configured for execution on computing devices may be provided on a computer readable medium, such as a compact disc, digital video disc, flash drive, magnetic disc, or any other tangible medium, or as a digital download (and may be originally stored in a compressed or installable format that requires installation, decompression or decryption prior to execution). Such software code may be stored, partially or fully, on a memory device of the executing computing device, for execution by the computing device. Software instructions may be embedded in firmware, such as an EPROM. It will be further appreciated that hardware modules may be comprised of connected logic units, such as gates and flip-flops, and/or may be comprised of programmable units, such as programmable gate arrays or processors. The modules or computing device functionality described herein are preferably implemented as software modules, but may be represented in hardware or firmware. Generally, the modules described herein refer to logical modules that may be combined with other modules or divided into sub-modules despite their physical organization or storage
Computer system 800 may implement the techniques described herein using customized hard-wired logic, one or more ASICs or FPGAs, firmware and/or program logic which in combination with the computer system causes or programs computer system 800 to be a special-purpose machine. According to one embodiment, the techniques herein are performed by computer system 800 in response to processor(s) 804 executing one or more sequences of one or more modules and/or instructions contained in main memory 806. Such instructions may be read into main memory 806 from another storage medium, such as storage device 810. Execution of the sequences of instructions contained in main memory 806 causes processor(s) 804 to perform the process steps described herein. In alternative embodiments, hard-wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions.
The term “non-transitory media,” and similar terms, as used herein refers to any media that store data and/or instructions that cause a machine to operate in a specific fashion. Such non-transitory media may comprise non-volatile media and/or volatile media. Non-volatile media includes, for example, optical or magnetic disks, such as storage device 810. Volatile media includes dynamic memory, such as main memory 806. Common forms of non-transitory media include, for example, a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, solid state drive, magnetic tape, or any other magnetic data storage medium, a CD-ROM, any other optical data storage medium, any physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a PROM, and EPROM, a FLASH-EPROM, NVRAM, any other memory chip or cartridge, and networked versions of the same.
Non-transitory media is distinct from but may be used in conjunction with transmission media. Transmission media participates in transferring information between nontransitory media. For example, transmission media includes coaxial cables, copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise bus 802. Transmission media can also take the form of acoustic or light waves, such as those generated during radio-wave and infra-red data communications.
Various forms of media may be involved in carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions to processor 804 for execution. For example, the instructions may initially be carried on a magnetic disk or solid state drive of a remote computer. The remote computer can load the instructions and/or modules into its dynamic memory and send the instructions over a telephone line using a modem. A modem local to computer system 800 can receive the data on the telephone line and use an infra-red transmitter to convert the data to an infra-red signal. An infra-red detector can receive the data carried in the infra-red signal and appropriate circuitry can place the data on bus 802. Bus 802 carries the data to main memory 806, from which processor 804 retrieves and executes the instructions. The instructions received by main memory 806 may optionally be stored on storage device 810 either before or after execution by processor 804.
Computer system 800 also includes a communication interface 818 coupled to bus 802. Communication interface 818 provides a two-way data communication coupling to a network link 820 that may be connected to any other interface and/or network, for example network 856 of
Network link 820 typically provides data communication through one or more networks to other data devices. For example, network link 820 may provide a connection through one or more local or non-local networks to host computers or other data equipment operated by an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
In an embodiment, the network link 820 may provide data communication services through the world wide packet data communication network now commonly referred to as the “Internet.” Communication may be accomplished through the user of, for example, electrical, electromagnetic, and/or optical signals that carry digital data streams. The signals through the various networks and the signals on network link 820 and through communication interface 818, which carry the digital data to and from computer system 800, are example forms of transmission media.
Computer system 800 may send messages and/or receive data, including program code, through the network(s), network link 820 and communication interface 818. In the Internet example, a server or other computer-enabled device or system may transmit a requested code for an application program through one or more networks and/or communication interface 818.
Each of the processes, methods, and algorithms described in the preceding sections may be embodied in, and fully or partially automated by, code modules executed by one or more computer systems or computer processors comprising computer hardware. The processes and algorithms may be implemented partially or wholly in application-specific circuitry.
The various features and processes described above may be used independently of one another, or may be combined in various ways. All possible combinations and subcombinations are intended to fall within the scope of this disclosure. In addition, certain method or process blocks may be omitted in some implementations. The methods and processes described herein are also not limited to any particular sequence, and the blocks or states relating thereto can be performed in other sequences that are appropriate. For example, described blocks or states may be performed in an order other than that specifically disclosed, or multiple blocks or states may be combined in a single block or state. The example blocks or states may be performed in serial, in parallel, or in some other manner. Blocks or states may be added to or removed from the disclosed example embodiments. The example systems and components described herein may be configured differently than described. For example, elements may be added to, removed from, or rearranged compared to the disclosed example embodiments.
Conditional language, such as, among others, “can,” “could,” “might,” or “may,” unless specifically stated otherwise, or otherwise understood within the context as used, is generally intended to convey that certain embodiments include, while other embodiments do not include, certain features, elements and/or steps. Thus, such conditional language is not generally intended to imply that features, elements and/or steps are in any way required for one or more embodiments or that one or more embodiments necessarily include logic for deciding, with or without user input or prompting, whether these features, elements and/or steps are included or are to be performed in any particular embodiment.
The term “comprising” as used herein should be given an inclusive rather than exclusive interpretation. For example, a general purpose computer comprising one or more processors should not be interpreted as excluding other computer components, and may possibly include such components as memory, input/output devices, and/or network interfaces, among others.
Any process descriptions, elements, or blocks in the flow diagrams described herein and/or depicted in the attached figures should be understood as potentially representing modules, segments, or portions of code which include one or more executable instructions for implementing specific logical functions or steps in the process. Alternate implementations are included within the scope of the embodiments described herein in which elements or functions may be deleted, executed out of order from that shown or discussed, including substantially concurrently or in reverse order, depending on the functionality involved, as would be understood by those skilled in the art.
It should be emphasized that many variations and modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments, the elements of which are to be understood as being among other acceptable examples. All such modifications and variations are intended to be included herein within the scope of this disclosure. The foregoing description details certain embodiments of the invention. It will be appreciated, however, that no matter how detailed the foregoing appears in text, the invention can be practiced in many ways. As is also stated above, it should be noted that the use of particular terminology when describing certain features or aspects of the invention should not be taken to imply that the terminology is being re-defined herein to be restricted to including any specific characteristics of the features or aspects of the invention with which that terminology is associated. The scope of the invention should therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims and any equivalents thereof.
