System and method for generating a geographic information card map
First Claim
1. A method for presenting geographic data on a client computing device, the method comprising:
- generating, by one or more processors, geographic information cards for respective geographic entities, wherein the geographic information cards are of an equal size and correspond to geographic regions of different sizes or geometries, and wherein each geographic information card includes indications displayed within the geographic information card of one or more of;
(i) photographs of the geographic entity, (ii) points of interest (POIs) within the geographic entity, or (iii) reviews of POIs within the geographic entity, and each geographic information card does not include a geometry of map features within the geographic entity;
generating, by the one or more processors, a representation of a geographic area using the geographic information cards, including placing each geographic information card relative to the rest of the geographic information cards in accordance with relative geographic positioning of the corresponding geographic entities; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the representation of the geographic area in a grid-pattern via a user interface of the client computing device, wherein at least some of the geographic information cards are individually selectable to display additional information related to the corresponding geographic entities,wherein a same amount of panning is required to traverse two different geographic information cards in the grid-pattern representing geographic regions having different sizes.

Abstract
To provide synergy between spatial and qualitative information in a single display, a client computing device displays a schematic representation of geographic entities that includes qualitative information about each geographic entity. The geographic entities may be portions of a geographic area which are organized spatially in the schematic. While each geographic entity may have a different size or geometry, the geographic entities are displayed within same sized geographic information cards. The geographic information cards are also traversable by a user through panning from one geographic information card to the next or zooming in and out of different views of the geographic information cards.

11. A client computing device for presenting geographic data, the client computing device comprising:
-
a user interface; one or more processors coupled to the user interface; and a non-transitory computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the client computing device to; generate geographic information cards for respective geographic entities, wherein the geographic information cards are of an equal size and correspond to geographic regions of different sizes or geometries, and wherein each geographic information card includes indications displayed within the geographic information card of one or more of;
(i) photographs of the geographic entity, (ii) points of interest (POIs) within the geographic entity, or (iii) reviews of POIs within the geographic entity, and each geographic information card does not include a geometry of map features within the geographic entity;generate a representation of a geographic area using the geographic information cards, including placing each geographic information card relative to the rest of the geographic information cards in accordance with relative geographic positioning of the corresponding geographic entities; and provide the representation of the geographic area in a grid-pattern via the user interface of the client computing device, wherein at least some of the geographic information cards are individually selectable to display additional information related to the corresponding geographic entities, wherein a same amount of panning is required to traverse two different geographic information cards in the grid-pattern representing geographic regions having different sizes. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
