US Classification:

345/764000

Abstract:

An approach for providing retrieval of requested information via a graphical user interface (GUI), which in one embodiment of the present invention, is web-enabled. A user utilizing a client station is able to obtain, for example, telecommunication information based on a user input address information. An address entry screen is provided for inputting address information and specifying desired criteria corresponding to telecommunication information. The address entry screen includes a display size field for inputting map scaling information, and a return-a-map field for requesting a map graphic. A map screen displays the map graphic and the telecommunication information based upon the input address information, the specified desired criteria, and the input map scaling information.

US Classification:

701/211000, 701/208000, 701/213000, 709/201000

Abstract:

An approach for providing retrieval of information via a geographic information system that uses a robust, standardized architecture. A user utilizing a client station is able to obtain, for example, telecommunication information by supplying input address information and optionally, user supplied selection criteria. An application server receives the input address information. A database server communicates with the application server; the database server is configured to validate and geocode the input address information. The database server outputs validated address information and positional information to the application server. The database server is coupled to numerous data sources. The database server retrieves the telecommunication information based upon the selection criteria and transmits the telecommunication information to the application server, which can generate a map graphic based upon the validated address and the positional information from the database server. The application server permits overlay of the telecommunication information onto the map graphic.
