发明名称 Interface for navigating imagery
摘要 A user interface for rotating imagery among a plurality of canonical views of a geographic area of interest is disclosed. The interface includes at least one rotation control icon for rotating the imagery among a plurality of canonical views of the geographic area, and a direction indicating portion that indicates a compass direction associated with the canonical view presented on the display device. In particular implementations, the interface can be configured to come into view over the imagery whenever a user navigates to a particular view of the imagery where a plurality of canonical views is available. The motion of the navigation control interface appearing into the imagery is intended to draw attention to the control interface to inform the user that additional canonical views are available.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method comprising: presenting, by one or more computing devices, a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery comprising a canonical view of a geographic area; presenting, by the one or more computing devices, a navigation control interface depicted as a compass overlying the imagery, the navigation control interface configured to rotate the imagery about an axis perpendicular to the imagery from a first predefined canonical view of the geographic area to a second predefined canonical view of the geographic area upon user interaction with a static rotation control icon included as part of the compass, the navigation control interface comprising a direction indicating portion included as part of the compass that indicates a compass direction associated with the canonical view presented on the display device; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a user input directed to the static rotation control icon; and rotating, by the one or more computing devices, the direction indicating portion from first compass direction associated with the first predefined canonical view to a second compass direction associated with the second predefined canonical view synchronously with the imagery in response to the user input directed to the static rotation control icon; wherein the static rotation control icon does not change as the image rotates in response to the user input.
