摘要： Systems and methods for providing geographic location of device are provided. Method includes receiving query for location of device. Query includes indicia of one or more access points. Method includes determining whether query includes indicia of only single access point or multiple access points. Method includes, if query includes indicia of only single access point, facilitating providing low resolution version of location of device. Low resolution version of location of device is not determined based on indicia of access points. Method includes, if query includes indicia of multiple access points, determining whether distance between locations of two of multiple access points exceeds distance threshold, and if distance between locations exceeds distance threshold, facilitating providing low resolution version of location of device, or if the distance between locations does not exceed distance threshold, providing high resolution version of location of device determined based on the indicia of multiple access points.

摘要： Interactive geographic information systems (GIS) and techniques are disclosed that provide users with a greater degree of flexibility, utility, and information. A markup language is provided that facilitates communication between servers and clients of the interactive GIS, which enables a number of GIS features, such as network links (time-based and view-dependent dynamic data layers), ground overlays, screen overlays, placemarks, 3D models, and stylized GIS elements, such as geometry, icons, description balloons, polygons, and labels in the viewer by which the user sees the target area. The markup language is used to describe a virtual camera view of a geographic feature. A compressed file format holds multiple files utilized to display a geographic feature in a single file.

摘要： A system and method is presented that leverages independent innovation in entertainment content and graphics hardware. In this system and method, the current image generation run-time application is replaced with a new framework defining the connectivity, features, and behavior necessary to implement a graphics system. All this takes place in the context of a software platform utilizing a late-integration mechanism that dynamically integrates the various real-time components in a run-time application. Ultimately displacing hardware as the central focus of development efforts, this software platform functionally is the graphics application, at least as viewed by the simulation host computer, database developers, and those responsible for visual system procurement and maintenance. An innovative software architecture, the Graphical Application Platform (GAP) is presented. The GAP builds on image generator, workstation, and scene graph success by extending the concepts of platform and framework into the real-time graphics domain—bridging the gap between image generation concerns and contemporary hardware and software realities by decoupling content, hardware and applications. This new approach also provides technology to address emerging concerns related to the selection and acquisition processes in the context of new low-cost, high-performance graphics hardware.

摘要翻译： 提出了利用娱乐内容和图形硬件的自主创新的系统和方法。 在该系统和方法中，当前图像生成运行时应用程序被定义实现图形系统所必需的连接性，特征和行为的新框架所取代。 所有这一切都发生在使用后期集成机制的软件平台的上下文中，该后期集成机制可以在运行时应用程序中动态集成各种实时组件。 最终将硬件置换为开发工作的中心焦点，该软件平台功能上是图形应用，至少在模拟主机，数据库开发人员以及负责视觉系统采购和维护的人员的观察下。 提出了一种创新的软件体系结构，即图形应用平台（GAP）。 通过将平台和框架的概念扩展到实时图形领域，GAP建立在图像生成器，工作站和场景图形的基础上，通过解耦内容，硬件和应用程序，弥补了图像生成问题与当代硬件和软件现实之间的差距。 这种新方法还提供了技术来解决与新型低成本，高性能图形硬件相关的选择和采集过程中出现的新兴问题。
