A method includes receiving a map indicating a layout of a location, receiving a point-of-interest (POI) data structure representing a POI, and POI metadata associated with the POI, generating an annotated floor map, based on the map, the annotated floor map including a POI indicator placed on the map at the location of the POI, the POI indicator indicating the type of the POI and the status of the POI, displaying at least a portion of the annotated floor map, in response to the client computing device moving within the location or out of the location, transmitting location information to a map selector and receiving one or more maps selected by the map selector, the one or more maps include or bound by the location information.

Management of annotated location aware assets

According to one general aspect, a method may include storing, in a memory device, a plurality of floor maps, each floor map indicating the structural layout of a respective predefined physical location. The method may include storing, in a memory device, a plurality of point-of-interest (POI) data structures. Each POI data structure may include a physical location of an associated POI. The method may include receiving a floor map request from a client computing device, wherein the floor map request includes a requested location. The method may include based upon the location included by the floor map request, selecting a selected floor map and a selected subset of the plurality of POI data structures. The method may include transmitting, to the client computing device, a response to the floor map request based upon the selected floor map and the selected POI data structures.

A method may include storing a plurality of floor maps, each floor map indicating a structural layout of a respective physical location, storing a plurality of point-of-interest (POI) data structures, each POI data structure including a physical location of an associated POI that is associated with the respective POI data structure, receiving a floor map request, the floor map request including a requested location, based upon the location included by the floor map request, selecting a floor map and a subset of the plurality of POI data structures, for each of the subset of the plurality of POI data structures, receiving metadata from the associated POI, the metadata indicating a status of the associated POI, and transmitting, to the client computing device and in response to the floor map request, the selected floor map and the selected POI data structures.

According to one general aspect, a method may include receiving a floor map indicating a structural layout of a physical location, receiving a point-of-interest (POI) data structure representing a POI and POI metadata associated with the POI, POI data structure including a location of an associated POI that is associated with the POI, and the POI metadata including a POI type indicating a type of the associated POI, and a POI status indicating the status of the associated POI, annotating the floor map by overlaying on the selected floor map an indicator for each selected POI data structure such that the indicator is placed on the floor map at a location representing the physical location of the respective associated POI and indicates the type of the associated POI and the status of the associated POI, displaying a portion of the annotated floor map, and initiating a POI action.

User-centric annotated location aware asset mapping

In a computer-displayed graph, indications of multiple attributes or states of an object represented by a node of the graph are displayed using a spotlight, in which attributes of the spotlight correspond to attributes of the object represented by the node. The attributes of the spotlight each correspond to an attribute of the object and may include the color, brightness, and size of the spotlight. The spotlight may be positioned with the node, including overlaying the spotlight on the node and positioning the spotlight relative to the node.
