Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for providing interactive navigational assistance using movable guidance markers
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a current geographic location and bearing information for a first user equipment;
displaying a second virtual view in the first user equipment;
displaying a first virtual view in a second user equipment generated based on the current geographic location and the bearing information for the first user equipment;
displaying at the second user equipment a second guidance marker used for navigational assistance;
displaying at the first user equipment a first guidance marker used for navigational assistance at a first location wherein the first location is defined remotely at the second user equipment in the first virtual view and the location of the first guidance marker is determined by translating the second guidance marker coordinates into the first virtual view;
displaying at the second user equipment a current geographic location for the first user equipment;
accepting at the second user equipment an input, wherein the user input selects an adjustment made to the second guidance marker from a first position to a second position, wherein the second position is selected by the user input to be indicative of a target geographic location in a first virtual view of the current geographic location of the first user equipment as displayed on the second user equipment; and
in response to the adjusting, displaying at the first user equipment the first guidance marker at the target geographic location in a second virtual view of the current geographic location, wherein the first guidance marker displayed at the target geographic location in the second virtual view provides navigation guidance to the first user for navigating to the target geographic location based on the user input selecting the adjustment made to the second guidance marker from the first position to the second position.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and computer-readable storage media for displaying at a first user equipment a first marker a location wherein the location is defined remotely at a second user equipment; displaying at the second user equipment a current geographic location and a current vantage point for the first user equipment; displaying at the second user equipment a second marker; accepting at the second user equipment an input for adjusting the second marker from a first position to a second position, wherein the second position is indicative of a target geographic location in a first virtual view of the current geographic location of the first user equipment as displayed on the second user equipment; and in response to the adjusting, displaying at the first user equipment the first marker at the target geographic location in a second virtual view of the current geographic location.

11. An apparatus configured to accept an input for defining a location;
-
the apparatus comprising a second user equipment for use with a first user equipment that is configured to display a first guidance marker used for navigational assistance at a location, wherein the first user equipment is configured to determine a current geographic location and bearing information, and display a second virtual view; the second user equipment being configured to display a first virtual view geographic based on the current geographic location and bearing information for the first user equipment; the second user equipment being configured to display the current geographic location for the first user equipment; the second user equipment displaying a second guidance marker used for navigational assistance wherein the first user equipment is configured to display the first guidance marker at a first location wherein the first location is defined remotely at the second user equipment in the first virtual view and the location of the first guidance marker is determined by translating the second guidance marker coordinates into the first virtual view; the second user equipment accepting the user input and, in response thereto, adjusting the second guidance marker from the first position to a second position, wherein the user input selects an adjustment made to the second position is indicative of a target geographic location in the first virtual view of the current geographic location of the first user equipment; and in response to the adjusting, causing the first user equipment to display the first guidance marker at the target geographic location in the second virtual view of the current geographic location, wherein the first guidance marker displayed at the target geographic location in the second virtual view provides navigation guidance to the first user for navigating to the target geographic location based on the user input selecting the adjustment made to the second guidance marker from the first position to the second position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
