COMBINED INTERACTIVE MAP AND LIST VIEW
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions for generating a display of a map and a list, the computer-executable instructions directed to steps comprising:
- generating a first display comprising the map, the list, and a divider between the map and the list, the divider dividing the first display into a greater proportion of the first display area and a lesser proportion of the first display area with one of the map or the list being generated in the greater proportion of the first display area and an other of the map or the list being generated in the lesser proportion of the first display area, the map comprising at least one location indicator indicating a location, on the map, of at least one entity whose information is listed in the list;
generating a second display in response to user input directed to the greater proportion of the first display area, the second display comprising an updated map or list, whichever was generated in the greater proportion of the first display area, in accordance with, and responsive to, the user input; and
generating a third display, if the user input was directed to the lesser proportion of the first display area, by moving the divider of the first display to divide the third display into a greater proportion of the third display area that encompasses all of the lesser proportion of the first display area, and to divide the third display into a lesser proportion of the third display area that encompasses a portion of the greater proportion of the first display area, the third display comprising, in the greater proportion of the third display area, an updated version of the map or list, whichever was generated in the lesser proportion of the first display area, in accordance with, and responsive to, the user input.

Abstract
A simultaneously interactive map display and textual listing is presented where both are simultaneously displayed on a display device. The display area of the display device is divided between the map display and the textual listing with one of them receiving a greater proportion than the other. User input directed to the one receiving the greater proportion can be responded to in a traditional manner, while user input directed to the one receiving the lesser proportion can cause a transition whereby the display area is re-proportioned and, with such re-proportioning, the user input can also be responded to in a traditional manner. Additionally, user selections in the textual listing can be simultaneously reflected in the map display, and vice versa, irrespective of which has the greater proportion of the display area. Optionally, a re-proportioning transition can be triggered by such user selections.

10. A method for generating a display of a map and a list comprising the steps of:
-
generating a first display comprising the map, the list, and a divider between the map and the list, the divider dividing the first display into a greater proportion of the first display area and a lesser proportion of the first display area with one of the map or the list being generated in the greater proportion of the first display area and an other of the map or the list being generated in the lesser proportion of the first display area, the map comprising at least one location indicator indicating a location, on the map, of at least one entity whose information is listed in the list; generating a second display in response to user input directed to the greater proportion of the first display area, the second display comprising an updated map or list, whichever was generated in the greater proportion of the first display area, in accordance with, and responsive to, the user input; and generating a third display, if the user input was directed to the lesser proportion of the first display area, by moving the divider of the first display to divide the third display into a greater proportion of the third display area that encompasses all of the lesser proportion of the first display area, and to divide the third display into a lesser proportion of the third display area that encompasses a portion of the greater proportion of the first display area, the third display comprising, in the greater proportion of the third display area, an updated version of the map or list, whichever was generated in the lesser proportion of the first display area, in accordance with, and responsive to, the user input. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A user interface providing a simultaneously interactive map and list on a display device of a portable computing device, the user interface comprising:
-
a first portion on a first side of a divider, the first portion displaying the interactive map; a second portion on a second side of the divider, the second portion displaying the interactive list; and the divider, which moves such that, if a user input is directed to either the first portion or the second portion, and the portion to which the user input is directed does not comprise a greater proportion of the user interface than an other portion, then the divider moves such that the portion to which the user input is directed becomes the greater proportion of the user interface after the move; wherein the interactive map and the interactive list respond to the user input concurrently with the divider moving. - View Dependent Claims (20)
