Method and System of Generating an indoor floor plan

摘要

The system includes a method of mapping a building indoor floor plan onto a physical map projection and provides a visual depiction thereof. The system and method is implemented in a computer system wherein each floor of a building is visually mapped from its relative (x, y) position into its real world (x, y) position.

1. A method utilizing a computer having a processor, display and a storage medium to create an indoor floor map of a building, the method comprising:
generating a real world database stored within the storage medium of the computer containing a plurality of longitude and latitude positions for real world elements in a locality where the building is located; programming the processor to create a relative x and a relative y position for the building having a plurality of visual elements; programming the processor to select a subset of visual elements from the plurality of visual elements for a desired floor in the building; for each desired floor in the building generating on the display a visual top three dimensional top plan view showing the subset of visual elements; for each element within the subset of visual elements generating a correlate x position and a correlate y position based upon the relative x position and the relative y position of the building; for each element within the subset of visual elements generating a name tag which represents the correlate x position and the correlate y position of the building; generating a correlating database structure containing a record which represent each element within the subset comprising the name tag and the correlate x position and the correlate y position; based upon the relative x and relative y position for the building, generating a real world longitude and latitude position for the building in that locality; based upon the real world longitude and latitude position of the building determine an adjusting scale; adjusting the record containing the relative x and relative y position in the correlating database to a real world longitude and latitude position for the building using the adjusting scale; and and generating upon the display a visual representation of the desired floor of the building using the real world longitude and latitude position.
