Method and apparatus for generating map-based snippets
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- retrieving, from a history log, an indication of a content page identifier comprising a resource address previously accessed via a browser and provided by a third party website;
determining that the content page identifier comprises an indication that a content page identified by the resource address and provided by the third party website comprises a map, wherein data for rendering the content page by the browser includes at least destination information;
in response to determining that the content page identifier accessed in the history log comprises an indication that the content page includes a map, extracting the destination information from the data for rendering the content page;
causing provision of the destination information to a computing device remote from the third party website having provided the data for rendering the content page;
constructing a user interface snippet that comprises a link for retrieving the content page comprising the map via the third party website, the user interface snippet including a component comprising at least a simplified route image, wherein the simplified route image is generated by the computing device that is remote from the third party website having provided the data for rendering the content page, and is based at least in part on the destination information, wherein the simplified route image is simplified relative to the map of the content page;
analyzing the destination information to determine the destination and the category of the destination; and
wherein constructing the user interface snippet includes constructing the user interface snippet comprising the component, the component further comprising an image of an object that represents the category of the destination; and
the simplified route image, comprises extracting starting point information from the content page; and
generating data for rendering a filtered and scaled depiction of a route between the starting point and the destination, wherein the simplified route image comprises the data for rendering the filtered and scaled depiction of the route between the starting point and the destination.

Abstract
Various methods for generating map-based snippets are provided. One example method includes determining that a content page identifier includes an indication that a content page includes a map. In this regard, data for rendering the content page may include at least destination information. The method may also include in response to determining that the content page identifier includes an indication that the content page includes a map, extracting the destination information from the content page. The example method may further include constructing a user interface snippet that is selectable for retrieving the content page, where the user interface snippet includes a component that is generated based at least in part on the destination information. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided.
