Method and apparatus for presenting point of interest changes
First Claim
1. A method for presenting one or more visual representations for conveying information about at least one point-of-interest change, the method comprising:
- receiving status information associated with one or more points of interest from one or more public permit databases, wherein the status information indicates at least one of an ownership change, a corporate information change, a closing or opening status change other than a change in business hours and/or hours of operation, or a combination thereof;
determining, by at least one processor based at least in part on the status information, one or more point-of-interest changes, one or more transitions between the one or more point-of-interest changes, or a combination thereof,wherein the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions include, at least in part, one or more location changes, one or more type changes, one or more operational state changes, or a combination thereof associated with at least one of the one or more points of interest;
causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more representation objects associated with the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions;
causing, at least in part, a mapping of the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions to one or more mapped visual representations based on the status information and the one or more representation objects,wherein the one or more mapped visual representations include a color change, a transparency change, a scale change, an additional text, one or more icons, a distortion, an animation, or a combination thereof that are based on the one or more of the ownership change, the corporate information change, the closing or opening status change of the one or more points of interest, or a combination thereof, andcausing, at least in part, a presentation on at least one point-of-interest user interface of the one or more mapped visual representations regarding the at least one point-of-interest change associated with the at least one of the one or more points of interest which is undergoing changes or had undergone recent development.

Abstract
An approach is provided for processing status information for one or more points of interest to determine the changes for generation of various representations for presenting in a user interface. The approach involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of status information associated with one or more points of interest to determine one or more point-of-interest changes. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more representations of the one or more point-of-interest changes, one or more transitions between the one or more point-of-interest changes, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more representations in at least one point-of-interest user interface.

10. An apparatus for presenting one or more visual representations for conveying information about at least one point-of-interest change, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, receive status information associated with one or more points of interest from one or more public permit databases, wherein the status information indicates at least one of an ownership change, a corporate information change, a closing or opening status change other than a change in business hours and/or hours of operation, or a combination thereof; determine, based at least in part on the status information, one or more point-of-interest changes, one or more transitions between the one or more point-of-interest changes, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions include, at least in part, one or more location changes, one or more type changes, one or more operational state changes, or a combination thereof associated with at least one of the one or more points of interest; cause, at least in part, a generation of one or more representation objects associated with the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions; cause, at least in part, a mapping of the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions to one or more mapped visual representations based on the status information and the one or more representation objects, wherein the one or more mapped visual representations include a color change, a transparency change, a scale change, an additional text, one or more icons, a distortion, an animation, or a combination thereof that are based on the one or more of the ownership change, the corporate information change, the closing or opening status change of the one or more points of interest, or a combination thereof; and cause, at least in part, a presentation on at least one point-of-interest user interface of the one or more mapped visual representations regarding the at least one point-of-interest change associated with the at least one of the one or more points of interest which is undergoing changes or had undergone recent development. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus for presenting one or more visual representations for conveying information about at least one point-of-interest change to at least perform the following steps:
-
receiving status information associated with one or more points of interest from one or more public permit databases, wherein the status information indicates at least one of an ownership change, a corporate information change, a closing or opening status change other than a change in business hours and/or hours of operation, or a combination thereof; determining, based at least in part on the status information, one or more point-of-interest changes, one or more transitions between the one or more point-of-interest changes, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions include, at least in part, one or more location changes, one or more type changes, one or more operational state changes, or a combination thereof associated with at least one of the one or more points of interest; causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more representation objects associated with the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions; causing, at least in part, a mapping of the one or more point-of-interest changes and/or transitions to one or more mapped visual representations based on the status information and the one or more representation objects, wherein the one or more mapped visual representations include a color change, a transparency change, a scale change, an additional text, one or more icons, a distortion, an animation, or a combination thereof that are based on the one or more of the ownership change, the corporate information change, the closing or opening status change of the one or more points of interest, or a combination thereof; and causing, at least in part, a presentation on at least one point-of-interest user interface of the one or more mapped visual representations regarding the at least one point-of-interest change associated with the at least one of the one or more points of interest which is undergoing changes or had undergone recent development. - View Dependent Claims (17)
