Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An automatic code generator that may be located at a server may generate code to handle crowdsourced data. The crowdsourced data may come from members of the public using automatic data collection technology on mobile devices, in one embodiment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: providing an interface to enable providers of crowdsourced data to specify a function for a source code application to handle crowdsourced data from an automatic data collection device; and automatically generating using an automatic code generator, the source code for the source code application in response to the crowdsourced data, said source code to implement, said function. 2. The method of claim 1 including automatically collecting position information data. 3. The method of claim 1 including automatically collecting photographic information. 4. The method of claim 1 including controlling access to the generated code. 5. The method of claim 1 including collecting information from mobile computers. 6. The method of claim 1 including automatically generating code at a server. 7. The method of claim 6 including automatically collecting crowdsourced data from mobile devices. 8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions to enable a computer to: providing an interface to enable providers of crowdsourced data to specify a function for a source code application to handle crowdsourced data from an automatic data collection device; and automatically generate using an automatic code generator, the source code for the source code application in response to the crowdsourced, said source code to implement, said function. 9. The medium of claim 8 further storing instructions to automatically collect position information data. 10. The medium of claim 8 further storing instructions to automatically collect photographic information. 11. The medium of claim 8 further storing instructions to control access to the generated code. 12. The medium of claim 8 further storing instructions to collect information from mobile computers. 13. The medium of claim 8 further storing instructions to generate code at a server. 14. The medium of claim 13 further storing instructions to collect crowdsourced data from mobile devices. 15. An apparatus comprising: a hardware processor to provide an interface to enable providers of crowdsourced data to specify a function for a source code application to handle crowdsourced data from an automatic data collection device and automatically generate using an automatic code generator, the source code for the source code application in response to the crowdsourced data, said source code to implement said function; and a storage coupled to said processor. 16. The apparatus of claim 15 , said hardware processor to automatically collect position information data. 17. The apparatus of claim 15 , said hardware processor to automatically collect photographic information. 18. The apparatus of claim 15 , said hardware processor to control access to the generated code. 19. The apparatus of claim 15 , said hardware processor to collect information from mobile computers. 20. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein said hardware apparatus includes a server. 21. The apparatus of claim 20 , said hardware processor to automatically collect crowdsourced data from mobile devices.
