Data services based on gesture and location information of device
First Claim
1. A method, implemented at a portable computing device that includes one or more processors, for displaying different views at the portable computing device, the method comprising:
- displaying a first map-based view of a geographical area corresponding to a physical location based on location and direction information measured by the portable computing device;
displaying at least one indication of a particular point of interest that is contextually relevant to the portable computing device within the first map-based view of the geographical area;
receiving a gesture at the portable computing device, the gesture received at the physical location, the gesture comprising one or more physical movements of the portable computing device in which one or more detected change in motion, direction or orientation of the portable computing device is used to define the gesture; and
based on receiving the gesture;
displaying a second map view of the geographical area that is a different type of map-based view than the first map-based view of the geographical area; and
displaying at least one indication of the particular point of interest within the second map view of the geographical area.

Abstract
With the addition of directional information and gesture based input in a location based services environment, a variety of service(s) can be provided on top of user identification or interaction with specific object(s) of interest. For instance, when a user gestures at or points at a particular item, or gestures at a particular location or place, this creates an opportunity, e.g., an advertising opportunity, for anyone having an interest in that particular item or place to communicate with the user regarding that item or related items at a point in time when the user'"'"'s focus is on the particular item. User context for the interaction can also be taken into account to supplement the provision of one or more interactive direction based services.

9. A computer program product comprising one or more physical storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instruction that, when executed by one or more processors of a portable computing device, cause the portable computing device to implement a method for displaying different views at the portable computing device, including the following:
-
displaying a first map-based view of a geographical area corresponding to a physical location based on location and direction information measured by the portable computing device; displaying at least one indication of a particular point of interest that is contextually relevant to the portable computing device within the first map-based view of the geographical area; receiving a gesture at the portable computing device, the gesture received at the physical location, the gesture comprising one or more physical movements of the portable computing device in which one or more detected change in motion, direction or orientation of the portable computing device is used to define the gesture; and based on receiving the gesture; displaying a second map view of the geographical area that is a different type of map-based view than the first map-based view of the geographical area; and displaying at least one indication of the particular point of interest within the second map view of the geographical area. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer system, comprising:
-
a display device; one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon computer-executable instruction that, when executed by one or more processors of a portable computing device, cause the portable computing device to implement a method for displaying different views on the display device, including the following; displaying a first map-based view of a geographical area corresponding to a physical location based on location and direction information measured by the portable computing device; displaying at least one indication of a particular point of interest that is contextually relevant to the portable computing device within the first map-based view of the geographical area; receiving a gesture at the portable computing device, the gesture received at the physical location, the gesture comprising one or more physical movements of the portable computing device in which one or more detected changes in motion, direction, or orientation of the portable computing device is used to define the gesture; and based on receiving the gesture; displaying a second map view of the geographical area that is a different type of map-based view than the first map-based view of the geographical area; and displaying at least one indication of the particular point of interest within the second map view of the geographical area. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
