An Interactive Map Streaming Service Technique for Mobile Devices

摘要

This paper proposes an interactive map streaming system in mobile environment. The system consists of two parts: a map streaming server and location collecting clients. The map streaming server captures map screen periodically and makes video stream to send it to a client. The client plays the streaming video and detects the location of the user to send to the server. The server side map is dynamically moved according to the location received from the client. The proposed technique can reduce the client?s burden of huge map storage and map rendering using CPU.
