Geospatially referenced building floorplan data

Abstract

A server system is provided that includes a platform server system configured to store platform map data that is geospatially referenced and includes building outline data for one or more buildings, and provide the platform map data to client computer devices. The server system further includes a tenant bounded server system including one or more processors configured to store building floorplan data for a tenant entity, and provide building floorplan data to client computer devices that are authenticated for the tenant entity. The one or more processors of the tenant bounded server system are further configured to receive a set of building floorplan data for a target building included in the platform map data, determine geospatial reference data for the set of building floorplan data by aligning the set of building floorplan data with building outline data of the target building.

         2 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , the acts further comprising:
 receiving, from the server computing system, map control logic that, when executed by the processor of the client computing device, renders the map data upon receipt of the map data and renders the merged view upon receipt of the floorplan data.   
     
     
         3 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , where the authorization data comprises an authorization token that authorizes the user of the client computing device to receive the floorplan data for the building. 
     
     
         4 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the floorplan authorization data comprises login data for an account of the user of the client computing device with an entity associated with the building. 
     
     
         5 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the map data comprises building outline data for the building, where the building outline data identifies a footprint of the building, and further wherein the merged view of the outdoor map is presented based upon the building outline data. 
     
     
         6 . The client computing device of  claim 5 , wherein the building outline data includes geospatial reference data that indicates a geographic location of the footprint of the building, and further wherein the merged view of the outdoor map is presented based upon the geospatial reference data assigned to the building outline data. 
     
     
         7 . the client computing device of  claim 6 , wherein presenting the merged view of the outdoor map of the geographic region and the indoor map of the building on the display of the client computing device comprises:
 aligning second geospatial reference of the building floor plan data with the geospatial reference data included in the building outline data.   
     
     
         8 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the merged view of the outdoor map is presented in a web browser executing on the client computing device. 
     
     
         9 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the request for the outdoor map comprises an address of the building. 
     
     
         10 . The client computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the building floorplan data comprises floorplan layouts of multiple floors of the building. 
     
     
         11 . A method performed by a client computing device that is in network communication with a server computing system, the method comprising:
 transmitting a request for a map to a server computing system, where the request comprises authorization data that authorizes a user of the client computing device to access floorplan data for a building of an entity, and further where the request for the map comprises an identifier of a geographic location that corresponds to the building of the entity;   receiving, from the server computing system;
 map data that that is available to the general public; and 
 the floorplan data for the building that is received by the client computing device based upon the authorization data included in the request for the map; and 
   rendering the map on a display of the client computing device based upon the map data and the floorplan data, where the map includes an outdoor map of the geographic location that is based upon the map data, where the map further includes an indoor map of the building that is based upon the floorplan data.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the authorization data is an authorization token. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the floorplan data for the building of the entity is restricted to users who have been authorized by the entity. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the map data comprises geospatial reference data that identifies an outline of the building, and further wherein the map is rendered on the display based upon the geospatial reference data. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the floorplan data for the building comprises second geospatial reference data that identifies geographic locations of features of the building, and further wherein the map is rendered on the display based upon the second geospatial reference data. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the floorplan data includes floorplan information about multiple floors of the building.
