SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GPS-BASED REPORT GENERATION

摘要

A system for the global generation, maintenance and distribution of reports of certain conditions in identified locations. The system generates and/or receives reports through an observer's mobile computing device (e.g., cell phone, smart phone, tablet computing device, or wearable computing device) equipped with a GPS receiver and system to ascertain the device's location, and with a camera or video camera to take an image or video of the condition that is being reported. The observer or other user can annotate a location on a computer-based map or mapping system, or otherwise edit information on such a map.
