SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION OF GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for providing interactive geographic content via a user interface, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a description of a plurality of geographic areas of different sizes;
21for each of the plurality of geographic areas, determining, by the one or more processors, a respective travel time between the geographic area and a current location of a user;
displaying a plurality of individually selectable indicators, each representing a respective one of the plurality of geographic areas, including arranging the indicators relative to a point corresponding to the current location, at distances determined based on the corresponding travel times; and
in response to an indication that one of the indicators has been selected, displaying geographic information related to the corresponding geographic area.

Abstract
A method for providing interactive geographic content via a user interface includes receiving a description of several geographic areas of different sizes and determining, for each of the geographic areas, travel time between the geographic area and a current location of a user. The method also includes displaying individually selectable indicators, each representing a respective one of the geographic areas. Displaying the indicators includes arranging the indicators relative to a point corresponding to the current location, at distances determined based on the corresponding travel times. In response to an indication that one of the indicators has been selected, the method includes displaying geographic information related to the corresponding geographic area.

16. A method for providing interactive geographic content via a user interface, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by one or more processors, a description of a plurality of geographic areas of different sizes, each organized around a respective commonality; for each of the plurality of geographic areas, determining, by the one or more processors, a metric indicative of one of (i) a distance between a reference location and the geographic area or (ii) travel time between the reference location and the geographic area; and displaying a plurality of individually selectable indicators, each representing a respective one of the plurality of geographic areas, within multiple demarcated concentric ring sectors centered around an indication of the reference location, each of the ring sectors having an inner radius and an outer radius corresponding to a lower boundary and a higher boundary, respectively;
including selecting, for each of the plurality of indicators, one of the concentric ring sectors so that the metric of the corresponding geographic area is between the lower boundary and the higher boundary of the ring sector. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
