User interface points of interest approaches for mapping applications

摘要

Various embodiments provide a graphical element displayed through a mapping application that visually represents at least one point of interest (POI) data point on a map for a location. In one example, a single multi-dimensional graphical element can identify a location and identity of multiple POIs associated with the same geocode or physical location on a map, such as a multi-tenant building. In this example, each surface of the graphical element may represent a different POI. In another example, a multi-dimensional graphical element can identify a location and information for a single POI. In this example, each surface can represent different information, such as a surface for customer reviews, a surface for store hours, address, or contact information, a surface for a restaurant's menu, a surface for promotions, and the like.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
receiving an input from a user of a mapping application executing on a client device;receiving map information corresponding to a region associated with the received input;determining point of interest (POI) information associated with the region;selecting at least a subset of the POI information corresponding to at least a portion of the region, the subset including at least a first set of POI information for a first POI and a second set of POI information for a second POI;rendering a map and a first view of a multi-dimensional graphical element, the first view of the multi-dimensional graphical element representing the first set of POI information for the first POI that is associated with a location on the map corresponding to the region associated with the received input; andbased at least in part on a user interaction with the first view of the multi-dimensional graphical element, rendering a second view of the multi-dimensional graphical element, the second view showing the second set of POI information for the second POI that is associated with the location on the map.
