REGION CLASSIFICATION BASED ON REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

摘要

A region classification server classifies a region based on region distribution information. The region classification server may include several databases to facilitate the classification of the region, including a classification type database, a classification evaluation database, and a region classification database. The region classification server may also include one or more interfaces for receiving region distribution information, such as an automated business listing interface and a user-input classification interface. The region classification server may also classify a region by modifying a classification evaluation stored in the classification evaluation database, where the modification is based on received user information. Moreover, the region classification server may provide the region classifications to other systems in communication with the region classification server, such as search engine providers, augmented reality developers, or other third-party entities.

主权项

1. An apparatus for classifying a region based on distribution information, the apparatus comprising:
a memory operative to store: a plurality of associations between a plurality of classification types and a plurality of classification values for the region, wherein each classification type is associated with at least one classification value, the at least one classification value identifying characteristics of the corresponding classification type; a plurality of classification evaluations for assigning a classification to the region, wherein each classification evaluation is associated with a classification type; and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being operative to:
receive regional distribution data for the region;determine at least one classification type selected from the plurality of classification types based on the received regional distribution data;select at least one classification evaluation for the region based on the determined at least one classification type;determine a classification value for the at least one region assignment based on the at least one classification evaluation and the regional distribution data;store at least one region assignment for the region in a region classification database, the at least one region assignment comprising an association between the least one determined classification value and the region;receive a request for a region assignment from a requesting entity;determine, based on the request, a type of the requesting entity;format a response to the request based on the type of requesting entity; andtransmit the formatted response to the requesting entity.
