Locking of spatial regions of large-scale fully-connected multi-dimensional spatial data for collaborative updating

Abstract:

In an example embodiment, techniques are provided for locking a region of fully-connected large-scale multi-dimensional spatial data (e.g., a large-scale 3-D mesh) defined by a bounding box. A region is associated with a lock state (e.g., exclusive or sharable). Clients may access the fully-connected large-scale multi-dimensional spatial data based on a comparison of the bounding box of the requested spatial data to the bounding boxes of other client's locks and their lock state.
