Northrop Grumman had three patents in digitalization during Q1 2024. The patent filed by Northrop Grumman Corp in Q1 2024 describes a map control module that generates a moving map divided into cells based on map data near a vehicle. A map item control categorizes points of interest (POIs) within the region and determines their importance, forming clusters of POIs with the same category and cell. The control selects a top item for each cluster. GlobalData’s report on Northrop Grumman gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy. Buy the report here.

Application: Map item cluster control (Patent ID: US20240095263A1)
The patent filed by Northrop Grumman Corp. describes a system and method for clustering map items on a display based on point of interest (POI) data. The system includes a map control module that generates a moving map divided into cells based on received map data, and a map item control that categorizes POIs, determines their importance, forms clusters of map items with the same category and cell, and selects a top-item for each cluster based on importance. The clusters are then overlaid on the moving map, with each cluster represented by a top-item and including a cluster tag indicating the number of hidden-items within the cluster.
The system also allows for updates to the POI data, which can change the importance of a POI and subsequently change the display location of the corresponding map item. Additionally, the system can handle multiple categories of POIs, display multiple sets of map items on the moving map, and adjust the display location of map items in response to changes in the geographic location of the corresponding POIs. Overall, the system provides a dynamic and organized way to display POIs on a moving map, enhancing the user's navigation experience.
