发明名称 Method and apparatus for providing mapping data
摘要 A method and apparatus for providing mapping data in a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives coordinate data from a customer mobile endpoint device, and processes the coordinate data against at least one existing map. The method then identifies a route associated with the coordinate data as a candidate new route if the route is not previously known on the at least one existing map.

主权项 1. A method for processing a plurality of coordinate data in a network, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor of an application server in the network, an opt-in from a customer mobile endpoint device to have the plurality of coordinate data transmitted from the customer mobile endpoint device to the application server in the network; receiving, by the processor of the application server in the network, the plurality of coordinate data transmitted from the customer mobile endpoint device as the customer mobile endpoint device traverses a route to a location that is not documented on an existing map, wherein the plurality of coordinate data is received with a street name; processing, by the processor, the plurality of coordinate data, wherein the processing comprises comparing the plurality of coordinate data against the existing map; identifying, by the processor, the route associated with the plurality of coordinate data as a candidate new route to add to the existing map when the route is not previously known on the existing map; verifying, by the processor, the candidate new route as a new route when a number of customers reporting the plurality of coordinate data for the candidate new route is above a predefined threshold, wherein the verifying the candidate new route comprises verifying the candidate new route against postal addresses; and updating, by the processor, a route database with the candidate new route and the street name when the candidate new route is verified as the new route, wherein the route database is stored in the network.
