User Interface for Displaying Navigation Information in a Small Display

摘要

Methods and systems for generating a navigation interface on a mobile device are described herein. A mobile device may identify its current location which may comprise a current path on which the mobile device is located. The mobile device may identify a plurality of upcoming paths and/or points of interest within a predetermined distance of the current location and generate one of various types of display.

1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a computing device, a current location and a current path on which the computing device is located; identifying, by the computing device, one or more upcoming objects in a vicinity of the current path; for each of the one or more upcoming objects,
determining an object direction vector corresponding to that upcoming object, the corresponding object direction vector representing a direction from an intersection between the upcoming object and the current path to a projected point located on the upcoming object at a predetermined distance from the intersection, anddetermining a relative direction vector corresponding to that upcoming object, the corresponding relative direction vector representing a direction from the current location to the projected point; and generating, by the computing device, a display comprising a label identifying each of the one or more upcoming objects, wherein a display position of each of the labels is based on the relative direction vector corresponding to that upcoming object.
