First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for updating a location of an entity via an electronic image, comprising:
- illustrating to a user the electronic image of the location at a known view level;
presenting a display area having a plurality of different movable icons in a first separate window on a view of the electronic image, each movable icon, in the first separate window, being displayed with a corresponding entity that describes each movable icon, wherein the first separate window is displayed automatically, on the view of the electronic image, based on at least one entity in the electronic image, when a proper location of the at least one entity is unclear in the electronic image;
allowing the user to place each movable icon of the plurality of different movable icons and the corresponding entity from the first separate window to the proper location on an object from a plurality of objects in the electronic image, the proper location representing the location of the corresponding entity on the object in the electronic image, wherein the plurality of movable icons and the corresponding entities in the first separate window have different proper locations on the object;
determining an updated Geographic Information System (GIS) position of the entity according to the proper location with respect to the electronic image;
storing the updated GIS position of the entity in a memory; and
using the updated GIS position of the entity in future electronic images.

Abstract
A separate panel may be used to display business icons near images of business entries, if the GIS does not include a business'"'"'s front door geolocation. Users may place icons that represent business entities near the entrances to the entity. Also, a concise but extensive display of business listing data (e.g., reviews, summaries, services, hours, etc.) in the display near the geolocation and the presentation of further information upon user actions such as a mouse-overs, may avoid browsing away from the viewing application in order to learn more about the business.

13. A computer system comprising a processor physically configured to execute computer executable instructions, a memory physically configured to store computer executable instructions and an input/output circuit, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for updating a location of an entity via an electronic image view, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:
-
illustrating to a user the electronic image view of the location at a view level; presenting a movable icon and the entity in a separate window on the electronic image view, wherein the separate window is displayed automatically based on entities in the electronic image view when a proper location of one or more corresponding entities is unclear in the electronic image view; allowing the user to relocate both the movable icon and the entity from the separate window to the proper location on the electronic image view, the proper location representing location corresponding to the entry of the entity with regard to the electronic image view; determining an updated Geographic Information System (GIS) position of the entity according to the proper location with regard to the electronic image view, wherein the updated GIS position is determined using a depth map created based on a determination of the view level; storing the updated GIS position of the entity in a memory; and using the updated GIS position of the entity in future electronic images. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer storage medium physically configured according to computer executable instructions for updating a location of an entity according to an electronic image view, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:
-
illustrating to a user the electronic image view of the location at a known view level; displaying a plurality of movable icons and a plurality of entities in a separate window on the electronic image view when a proper location of the at least one entity is unclear in the electronic image, each of the plurality of movable icons corresponding to one of the plurality of entities known to be located within area displayed by the electronic image view; enabling the user to drag both a first movable icon and a corresponding entity from the separate window to a proper location on the electronic image view, the proper location representing a position of the corresponding entity at a sub address with regard to an address in the electronic image view, wherein the plurality of entities are placed to separate proper locations at the same address; determining an update Geographic Information System (GIS) position of the corresponding entity according to the proper location of the first movable icon in the electronic image view; storing the update GIS position of the corresponding entity in a memory; upon receiving a selection of the first movable icon after the user placed the first movable icon at the proper location, displaying additional information about the corresponding entity, the additional information being displayed in an additional window; and using the update GIS position of the entity in future electronic images. - View Dependent Claims (20)
