Customized geographic visualization system for population information
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11954146B2) outlines a geographic-based population information system that utilizes one or more servers to process requests from web browsers for segmenting granularity of a geographical area. The system retrieves shapefiles defining static geographic boundaries and population data for each segment within the area, generates symbolization instructions based on this data, produces image tiles filled with symbolization instructions, and serves these tiles to the web browser for overlay onto the geographical area. The system allows user selections for center and zoom level, with options including city, zip code, and county levels, and updates shapefiles and data accordingly.
Additionally, the patent describes variations of the system tailored for community information and socio-health data. The community information system retrieves community mapping data for each geographic segment, generates symbolization instructions based on this data, and serves image tiles to the web browser for overlay. Similarly, the socio-health information system retrieves social determinants of health data for each segment, generates symbolization instructions, produces image tiles, and serves them to the web browser. Both systems allow user selections for center and zoom level, updating shapefiles and data accordingly, and include tile-arrangement instructions for displaying the image tiles onto the geographical area. These systems offer a comprehensive approach to visualizing population, community, and health data at various geographic levels, enhancing decision-making and analysis capabilities.
