Copyright 11/10/2018 Justin M Coslor -- Provisional Patent Update -- For the one-year provisional patent of the Map Quadrant System, add these to the applications: eyeball-able control with optional voice interface, and text terminal shell account and command line versions. Also, make versions of it that work with EMACS and VI. Include aircraft and aerospace applications as well as vehicles in general including cars and trucks and aircraft carriers and ships and submarines, etc. Eventually it might be useful in flying cars and self-driving vehicles including electric vehicles and transportation (including the Department of Transit and the United States Geographical Survey) navigation systems. It could run on a webpage and app and a script-able command line program on PDA's and smartphones and tablet computers and netbooks and laptops and desktops and server computers and supercomputers. It can also work with non-standard maps and digitized photos to zoom-in, and should include markers for each point of interest and landmarks and be able to calculate the distance between them. The Map Quadrant System can also be compatibly applied to space based astronomy telescopes and various kinds of satellites and ground-based telescope systems and possibly radio telescopes. It can also be used as a computer-vision guidance system for stationary and mobile robots. Copyright 11/11/2018 to 11/12/2018 Justin Coslor -- MQS Applications, Offline Example, and Encryption Example -- Applications continued: The Map Quadrant System can also be used in a graphical user interface, such as for visualization and guidance and control of its various applications including nanotechnology, visualization and guidance and control of biotechnology (such as vaccines and molecular visualization), and nano-biotechnology. It can also be used in pharmaceutical research and cognitive neuroscience and cognitive neurogenetics and genetic engineering, including medical science and chemistry and biology and Earth sciences, physics, and material science. Offline example: As an offline example, the map can be on an offline computer or made of paper, and start out by choosing a location on the big map. Then crosshairs can be drawn over the map to break it into quadrants, then break the location's quadrant into progressively smaller quadrants within quadrants, etc., zooming in as necessary until there is a succinct quadrant letter string that represents the location. Pages of an atlas book can also have quadrant rectangles drawn over it or on transparency sheets to utilize closer and closer map images. Then that letter string can be relayed over a shell account or the phone or internet or an intranet or computer memory or printout or out loud or in writing by hand or through the mail to send the location to anyone anywhere. Encryption example: If 1,2,3,4 numbering is used instead of A, B, C, D lettering then it would be very easy to encrypt such as by multiplying the string of base-4 numbers by another number as though it were a base-10 number to begin with, then to decrypt it just divide the encrypted number by the number that was multiplied by the base-4 number string. Copyright 11/13/2018 Justin Coslor MQS Location Encryption Example Update It turns out that my MQS Encryption Example might not truly be encryption because a computer could try dividing the encrypted number by all numbers that yield a quotient that is composed of the base four numbers {1,2,3,4}, and the potential candidates from that list would be ones that yield small quadrants that have a city or other location of interest inside them. So the MQS Encryption Example might still be decipherable, such as from that kind of brute force attack, but I still think that it might still be secure if the {1,2,3,4} number sequence is multiplied by a number that has a finite decimal or finite fractional part. Otherwise, a random number scratch pad modulo base 10 diagonalization added one digit to each base four number would be a more appropriate way to encrypt it. Then to decrypt it, the random number's digits would get subtracted from the diagonalization to turn it back into a base-4 number string representing a Map Quadrant System (quadrants within quadrants) location. Copyright 11/14/2018 Justin Coslor MQS Location Encryption Update #2 If the location's {1,2,3,4} number string is to be encrypted, the multiplier should contain exponents of the numbers two and three and four. That way, even if the length of the location's number string is known, the multiplier key would be hidden and unknowable. Also, if the location's number string length is known, say for example "1324", that is a length of four base four numbers and each could be a 1 or a 2 or a 3 or a 4, so the number of possibilities for it are 4*4*4*4 = 256. So in that example there are 256 possibilities, but in reality it might zoom in by 4^10 or more, which is over one-million possibilities, and the base four number length can easily be obscured by making the encryption multiplier key a length of ten or more digits long or at least more digits than there are base four numbers in the quadrant string. Also, it would be even more obscure if the encryption multiplier key has a decimal portion to it. Even if the multiplier key is ten or more digits long, the encrypted quadrant string would still be far less symbols than a pair of unencrypted GPS Coordinates.
