SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OBTAINING AND USING INFORMATION FROM MAP IMAGES
First Claim
1. An interface program stored on a computer-readable medium for causing a computer system with a display device to perform the functions of:
- accepting search criteria from a user, the search criteria including a free-text query and a domain identifier, the domain identifier identifying a domain in a metric vector space;
in response to accepting the search criteria from the user, obtaining a set of document-location tuples from a corpus of documents, each document-location tuple satisfying the search criteria, and at least one document associated with a document-location tuple comprises a location-data file, the location-data file including an image of a metric vector space;
displaying on the display device a visual representation of the domain identified by the domain identifier; and
displaying a visual indicator based on the image of the metric vector space and overlaying the visual representation of the domain identified by the domain identifier.

Abstract
Under one aspect, an interface program stored on a computer-readable medium causes a computer system with a display device to perform the functions of: accepting search criteria from a user, the search criteria including a free-text query and a domain identifier, the domain identifier identifying a domain in a metric vector space; in response to accepting the search criteria from the user, obtaining a set of document-location tuples from a corpus of documents, each document-location tuple satisfying the search criteria, and at least one document associated with a document-location tuple comprises a location-data file, the location-data file including an image of a metric vector space; displaying on the display device a visual representation of the domain identified by the domain identifier; and displaying a visual indicator based on the image of the metric vector space and overlaying the visual representation of the domain identified by the domain identifier.

9. A method of displaying information about document-location tuples, the method comprising:
-
accepting search criteria from a user, the search criteria including a free-text query and a domain identifier, the domain identifier identifying a domain in a metric vector space;
in response to accepting the search criteria from the user, obtaining a set of document-location tuples from a corpus of documents, each document-location tuple satisfying the search criteria, and at least one document associated with a document-location tuple comprises a location-data file, the location-data file including an image of a metric vector space;
displaying a visual representation of the domain identified by the domain identifier; and
displaying a visual indicator based on the image of the metric vector space and overlaying the visual representation of the domain identified by the domain identifier. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
