Esta nueva patente consiste en organizar información que relaciona una dirección postal (calle, número…) con una geoposición, es decir, con unas coordenadas de longitud/latitud…

Es tan simple como absurda y dará mucho que hablar.

<<A geocoding component generates geographic coordinate information, such as latitude and longitude values, for postal addresses. A table includes a number of rows, each corresponding to one or more addresses. The geocoding component can quickly locate a particular row in the table based on a number of input address identifiers as the intersection of the sets rows that correspond to each of the address terms. The geocoding component may operate on addresses that are received by the geocoding component or extracted from documents.>>
