    摘要: A signposting and orientation technology is presented. This technology employs signposts superimposed on map images in order to convey otherwise undisplayable information on a map image. With signposting, zoomed-in maps can convey relationships between items on the map image, even though some of those item are not directly displayed on the map images. For example, a signpost can convey the distance between an anchoring object of reference and an item that is some distance and direction away from the object. Any relationships between objects and/or items can be dynamically maintained even though both the objects and item are moving about a map image. Additionally, orientation marks can be used in conjunction with signposts to orient users of the technology. Orientation marks may employ directional vectors, beginning at with the object of reference and ending with the orientation mark, whether the mark is celestial in nature or otherwise.

    摘要: A location-based caching system provides the ability for a mobile communication device to dynamically provide content related to a user's location. Content may comprise a series of map segments that anticipate the route traveled by a user of the mobile device. Other related content may also be provided, for example, point of interest information related to the route traveled. The system tracks a present location of the mobile device and predicts a future location of the mobile device. Based upon the prediction of future location, the caching module determines whether content related to the future location is presently stored on the mobile device. If appropriate content is not on the mobile device, the caching module retrieves the content from a content server via a network connection. The content information nay be contextually selected based upon, for example, user preferences, movement information, and device state information.

    摘要: Flexible attributes are attached to network requests that may be executed asynchronously. Any number of criteria may be attached to network requests. The requests are queued until the associated criteria are satisfied. Once the criteria are satisfied, the request is executed. Applications that make the requests are provided with simple success and failure notifications that they can respond to with various logic. Any type of criteria may be attached to a request. The criteria may be associated with the requests at design time of the application using a graphical user interface.

    摘要: Knowledge of the computational context of a computer operating environment, for example, awareness of process threads, is used to route IP traffic in the presence of multiple active network connections. An additional protocol may be added to the network layer of an operating system in order to map certain computational contexts to particular network interfaces. Any process with identification parameters associated with a mapped computational context requesting data transfer via a communication network is bound to the network interface previously associated with the computational context rather than an alternate network interface that otherwise might be the default. Further, process threads created by a parent process thread may be caused to inherit the computational context of the parent thread in order to assign traffic to the same network interface. This routing framework may have particular application with respect to multihomed host devices, for example, mobile computing devices.

    摘要: A development environment makes it easier to develop and use location aware software applications. Combining the currently separate and complex tasks of location information gathering, analysis, and display and making them integrated such that non-experts can build location services into their applications increases a developer's capability to write rich location-aware software applications. A higher level programming model allows a programmer to use location information as a logical entity rather than just raw location data, such as latitude and longitude. A location data store and map data store may be accessed by different location aware applications on the device. Instead of each location application relying on its own data store, applications may share their location related information.

    摘要: Various software mapping aspects are provided. They include, but are not limited to, providing linear map to non-linear map conversion or transformation (and vice versa) in a symmetric fashion, so that data in one map upon conversion is symmetric in another map with respect to the former map. One way this is accomplished is by the use of dual-triangles that are mapped into the former and latter map, by having, in one exemplary aspect, the same vertices in both maps. Additional features, such as selection regions for regions to be converted or not converted are used. Furthermore, dual-triangle subdivision or aggregation techniques can be used to provide a desired mapping scenario. Finally, APIs are presented that allow developers and users of such mapping technology to implement the various aspects disclosed herein.
