Indicating availability of indoor content on a digital map
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a computing device for indicating availability of indoor map content, the method comprising:
- providing, by one or more processors, an interactive digital map of a geographic area via a viewport, wherein the viewport defines a visible portion of the digital map, and wherein the digital map includes representations of a first structure for which indoor map data is available and a second structure for which indoor map data is unavailable;
panning, by the one or more processors, the viewport relative to the digital map in response to receiving a user request, including displaying the representations of the first structure and the second structure while the viewport is panning and when the viewport has stopped panning;
displaying an indication that indoor map data including a floor plan is available for the first structure in response to determining that the viewport is panning, wherein the indication varies based at least on whether the first structure includes a single floor or multiple floors, and wherein no indication of available indoor map data is displayed for the second structure,removing the indication in response to determining, by the one or more processors, that the viewport has stopped panning.

Abstract
An interactive digital map of a geographic area is provided via a viewport that defines a visible portion of the digital map. The digital map includes a representation of a structure. The viewport is panned relative to the digital map in response to receiving a user request. An indication that indoor map data is available for the structure is displayed in response to determining that the viewport is panning, and the indication is removed in response to determining that the viewport has stopped panning.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon instructions for indicating availability of indoor map content that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
provide an interactive digital map of a geographic area via a viewport that defines a visible portion of the digital map, and wherein the digital map includes representations of a first structure denoting indoor map content is available and a second structure denoting indoor map content is unavailable; pan the viewport relative to the digital map in response to receiving a request from a user via a touchscreen; display the representations of the first structure and the second structure while the viewport is panning and when the viewport has stopped panning; display an indication that indoor map data including a floor plan is available for the first structure in response to determining that the viewport is panning, wherein no indication of available indoor map data is displayed for the second structure; continue to display the representation of the first structure in response to determining that the viewport has stopped panning but the user remains in contact with the touchscreen, and remove the indication in response to determining that the viewport has stopped panning and the user is no longer in contact with the touchscreen. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more processors; a user interface coupled to the one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing thereon instructions for indicating availability of indoor map content, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to; display, via a viewport on the user interface, an interactive digital map of a geographic area, wherein the viewport defines a visible portion of the digital map, and wherein the digital map includes visual representations of a first structure for which map data is available and a second structure for which indoor map data is not available, pan the viewport in accordance with user input received via the user interface, including displaying the representations of the first structure and the second structure while the viewport is panning and when the viewport has stopped panning; display an indication that indoor map data including a floor plan is available for the first structure in response to determining that the viewport is panning, wherein the indication varies based at least on whether the first structure includes a single floor or multiple floors, and wherein no indication of available indoor map data is displayed for the second structure, and remove the indication in response to determining that the viewport has stopped panning. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
