Interactive visual representation of points of interest data

摘要

Search results may be rendered on a map utilizing one or more points of interest. An individual point of interest may include a casing layer and a core layer. Casing layers and/or core layers may be configured to change in size and color at different levels of detail associated with zoom operations. Zoom operations may further include de-clustering overlapping points of interest to eliminate overlap. A hover input associated with a cluster may render a numerical value associated with a corresponding number of points of interest that appear in the cluster. Various embodiments provide a visual language that enables a continuous representation, at different levels of detail, that range from a single discrete point to multiple points that are near each other or clustered together to unify the look-and-feel of represented elements and provide interactive consistency across various map properties and platforms.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving an input associated with a search; responsive to receiving said input, rendering search results on a map utilizing one or more points of interest, wherein the one or more points of interest are represented by a given geometry and respective points of interest include both a respective casing layer and a respective core layer, wherein individual casing layers serve as backgrounds of individual points of interest and individual core layers serve as foregrounds on the individual casing layers of the individual points of interest; changing a zoom level of the map responsive to another user input; and as the zoom level of the map changes:
changing the color of the individual casing layers of the individual points of interest at different levels of detail as a function of the zoom level; andchanging the size of the individual core layers relative to the individual casing layers while maintaining the geometry of the individual points of interest at different levels of detail as a function of the zoom level.
