MOTION-CONTROLLED VIEWS ON MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented visual navigation method, comprising:
- providing from a wireless mobile device, over a public wireless network to a server located remotely from the wireless mobile device, information identifying a geographic location;
receiving in response, from the server, image data of digital images captured from a location at the geographic location;
displaying the image data to a user of the mobile device as an image of an image space around the geographic locations; and
panning the image within the image space automatically in response to user motion of the wireless mobile device.
