Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of presenting information, comprising: defining a plurality of data structures, each data structure having a plurality of data elements; associating the plurality of data structures with a geographic area wherein each data structure of the plurality corresponds to its own unique part of the geographic area; rendering each data structure of the plurality as a corresponding one of a plurality of adjacent, non-overlapping, mathematically regular hexagonal shapes; associating each hexagonal shape with an identifier, each said identifier being unique within the computer implemented method, each said identifier further being associated with the unique part of the geographic area corresponding to associated hexagonal shape; periodically collecting a plurality of data samples, each data sample derived from information collected by a wireless mobile device, each data sample associated with at least one part of the geographic area; configuring each data structure for programmatic loading of the plurality of data elements; updating one or more of the plurality of data elements without updating others of the plurality of data elements, the updating corresponding with the periodic collection of a plurality of data samples; and specifying display characteristics of each hexagon based on data stored in the data elements of the data structure corresponding to each hexagon.
