Patent ID: 7984055

Claim:
One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing device, perform a method of presenting real-world situational data on a system-independent, dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising: receiving information from a vector based computer aided drafting (CAD) graphics file that depicts a drawing comprising display objects which correspond to real-world objects that have variable display characteristics, wherein the display objects describe roadway geometry; receiving object rendering data from the graphics file to form a set of definable objects situated to resemble the roadway geometry; providing a dynamically updateable user interface (UI) comprising one or more dynamic objects which reflect real-world events; depicting the one or more dynamic objects on a map generated from the object-rendering data; utilizing a route manager with the dynamically updateable UI to separate a route into a plurality of segments, wherein each of the plurality of segments are further divided into a set of polygons and each of the sets of polygons comprise a common map-related trait; determining a region via the route manager within an area comprising some of the plurality of segments and some of the sets of polygons, and wherein the determining is based upon at least one of the real-world events; receiving situational data corresponding to a status of the real-world events; adjusting one or more variable characteristics associated with the dynamic objects according to the received situational data; determining whether the object rendering data has changed from a previous state to a subsequent state; updating the object rendering data, which automatically updates the associated dynamic objects of the dynamically updateable UI; and presenting the at least one real-world event for the determined region and a designated real world characteristic to the dynamically updateable UI.
