SEMANTIC CARD VIEW

摘要

Architecture that enables a card interaction model that can present cards in different ways. When a user performs tasks, new stacked cards (one card on top of another card) corresponding to those tasks open in a left pane over the top of a background canvas (a card overlay of the underlying canvas). Users can scroll through the card stack of the card overlay to retrieve previous cards. Additionally, in an alternative viewing mode, a user can interact with the card overlay via an interactive affordance (an interactive object made available to facilitate a potential action) to enable viewing (e.g., an overview) of the cards in a side-by-side card overlay manner to further enable the opening and quick navigation to one of the previous cards. The architecture has applicability to mapping systems where searches range over many different geographical sites.

1. A system, comprising:
a card overlay component configured to present semantic cards in a card overlay of a mapping user interface, the semantic cards relate to tasks performed during a session associated with a mapping engine, the card overlay having a view and visually overlayed on a map canvas of the mapping user interface; an interactive affordance generated in association with the card overlay, that when selected enables a different view of the semantic cards in the card overlay of the mapping user interface; and at least one hardware processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions in a memory associated with the card overlay component and the interactive affordance.
