1. A server, comprising:
- a tracking system being configured to receive tracking data relating to a location of a mobile device as the mobile device moves through a retail facility;
a database comprising map data relating to a layout of the retail facility; and
a processor configured to;
generate for presentation on a display of the mobile device a first map based on the map data, wherein the first map is static and comprises an entirety of the layout; and
generate for concurrent presentation on the display of the mobile device a second map based on the map data and the tracking data, wherein the second map comprises a zoomed-in portion of the layout of the first map that is proximate to the location of the mobile device, wherein the first map and the second map are displayed on the display of the mobile device at a same time, the zoomed-in portion of the second map changes to follow the location of the mobile device as the mobile device moves through the retail facility, a boundary graphic indicative of a perimeter of the second map is displayed as an overlay over the first map, the overlay changes over the first map as the second map changes, the boundary graphic moves on the first map as the location of the mobile device moves through the retail facility, and the overlay further comprises an indicator graphic that tracks the location of the mobile device within the boundary graphic.

Abstract
Techniques related to concurrent presentation of retail facility maps are disclosed. The techniques involve acquiring tracking data relating to a location of a mobile device in a retail facility and acquiring, using for a search engine module, map data relating to a layout of the retail facility. A first map based on the map data is presented on a display of the mobile device. The first map comprises an entirety of the layout. A second map based on the map data and tracking data is concurrently presented on the display of the mobile device. The second map comprises a zoomed-in portion of the layout that is proximate to the location of the mobile device.

10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
acquiring, with a tracking system, tracking data relating to a location of a mobile device as the mobile device moves through a retail facility and map data relating to a layout of the retail facility; presenting, using a processor, a first map on a display of the mobile device wherein the first map is static based on the map data and comprises an entirety of the layout; and concurrently presenting, using the processor, a second map on the display of the mobile device wherein the second map is based on the map data and the tracking data and comprises a zoomed-in portion of the layout of the first map that is proximate to the location of the mobile device, wherein the first map and the second map are displayed on the display of the mobile device at a same time, the zoomed-in portion of the second map changes to follow the location of the mobile device as the mobile device moves through the retail facility, a boundary graphic indicative of a perimeter of the second map is displayed as an overlay over the first map, the overlay changes as the second map changes, the boundary graphic moves on the first map as the location of the mobile device moves through the retail facility, and the overlay further comprises an indicator graphic that tracks the location of the mobile device within the boundary graphic. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:
-
process tracking data relating to a location of a mobile device as the mobile device moves through a retail facility; process map data relating to a layout of the retail facility; facilitate presentation on a display of the mobile device a first map based on the map data, wherein the first map is static and comprises an entirety of the layout; and concurrently facilitate presentation on the display of the mobile device a second map based on the map data and the tracking data, wherein the second map comprises a zoomed-in portion of the layout of the first map that is proximate to the location of the mobile device, wherein the first map and the second map are displayed on the display of the mobile device at a same time, the zoomed-in portion of the second map changes to follow the location of the mobile device as the mobile device moves through the retail facility, a boundary graphic indicative of a perimeter of the second map is displayed as an overlay over the first map, the overlay changes as the second map changes, the boundary graphic moves on the first map as the location of the mobile device moves through the retail facility, and the overlay further comprises an indicator graphic that tracks the location of the mobile device within the boundary graphic.
