Abstract:
1. A method for a computer-aided operation of a communication network, comprising: a plurality of terminals determining a plurality of first position variables relating to a specific point, each one of the first position variables comprising a description of the specific point; the plurality of terminals determining a plurality of second position variables relating to the specific point, each one of the second position variables comprising physical location information of each of the plurality of terminals in proximity to the specific point; the plurality of terminals transmitting the plurality of first position variables and the plurality of second position variables to a communication network; the communication network storing the plurality of first position variables and the plurality of second position variables as a plurality of items of location information in a database, each item of location information comprising the first position variable and the corresponding second position variable that were transmitted by a respective one of the plurality of terminals; the communication network statistically analyzing the plurality of items of location information to produce a third position variable, the third position variable comprising statistically analyzed physical location data of the specific point; the communication network assigning the third position variable to the description of the specific point; the communication network providing the third position variable to at least one terminal of the plurality of terminals; the plurality of terminals transmitting the plurality of first position variables and a plurality of updated second position variables to the communication network, the plurality of updated second position variables are different from the plurality of second position variables in the stored items of location information; the communication network storing the plurality of first position variables and the plurality of updated second position variables as a plurality of updated items of location information in the database, each updated item of location information comprising a first position variable and a corresponding updated second position variable that were transmitted by a respective one of the plurality of terminals; the communication network statistically analyzing the plurality of updated items of location information to produce an updated third position variable, the updated third position variable comprising statistically analyzed physical location data of the specific point; the communication network assigning the updated third position variable to the description of the specific point; and the communication network providing the updated third position variable to the at least one terminal of the plurality of terminals that received the third position variable.
