A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11947583B2) discloses a novel two-dimensional (2D) map generation apparatus designed to plot a variety of target information on a 2D plane. The apparatus comprises a feature vector computation unit, a 2D processing unit, and a map generation unit. The feature vector computation unit computes a feature vector from the target information, which is then subjected to a dimension compression process by the 2D processing unit to generate 2D latitude and longitude information. The map generation unit utilizes this information to create the 2D map, allowing for the visualization of multiple pieces of target information simultaneously. The patent details a methodical approach to generating these maps, including re-computing feature vectors when additional target information is added, ensuring accurate representation on the 2D plane.

Furthermore, the patent also covers a 2D map generation method and program specifically tailored for text-based target information. By analyzing and extracting words from texts, converting them into vectors, and computing index values reflecting the relationship between texts and words, this method enables the creation of 2D maps based on textual data. The program, stored on a non-transitory recording medium, functions as a comprehensive tool for generating 2D maps by processing text-based information. With a focus on word contributions to texts and vice versa, this innovative approach offers a unique perspective on visualizing textual data in a spatial context. Overall, the patent showcases a sophisticated system for generating 2D maps that can be applied to various types of target information, providing a versatile solution for data visualization needs.
