Systems and methods for generating electronic map displays with points of-interest information
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a device, a location of a reference point along a route requested by a user;
assigning, by the device, a spatial identifier to the reference point;
determining, by the device, a significance of the reference point;
defining, by the device, a search area for the spatial identifier,the search area for the spatial identifier corresponding to a polygon,boundaries of the polygon enclosing the reference point, anda size of the polygon being based on the significance of the reference point;
identifying, by the device, points-of-interest (POIs) within the search area;
ranking, by the device, the POIs; and
providing, by the device, instructions to display the ranked POIs on a device of the user.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating an electronic map display. In one implementation, a method is provided for determining a route distance based on information for a route, comparing the route distance with a distance threshold, generating a list of points of interest (POIs) when the route distance is less than the distance threshold, the list of POIs identifying POIs that are located along the route, grouping the POIs into one or more buckets based on location, calculating POI densities of the buckets based on the POIs included in each corresponding bucket, ranking the buckets based on the POI densities, providing POI information associated with the POIs included in the ranked buckets, wherein the POI information is provided based on the ranking of the buckets, and generating an electronic map display with the POI information.

1. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a device, a location of a reference point along a route requested by a user; assigning, by the device, a spatial identifier to the reference point; determining, by the device, a significance of the reference point; defining, by the device, a search area for the spatial identifier, the search area for the spatial identifier corresponding to a polygon, boundaries of the polygon enclosing the reference point, and a size of the polygon being based on the significance of the reference point; identifying, by the device, points-of-interest (POIs) within the search area; ranking, by the device, the POIs; and providing, by the device, instructions to display the ranked POIs on a device of the user. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 20)

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; determine a location of a reference point along a route requested by a user; assign a spatial identifier to the reference point; determine a significance of the reference point; define a search area for the spatial identifier, the search area for the spatial identifier corresponding to a polygon, boundaries of the polygon enclosing the reference point, and a size of the polygon being based on the significance of the reference point; identify points-of-interest (POIs) within the search area; rank the POIs; and provide instructions to display the ranked POIs on a device of the user. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system, comprising:
-
a computer storage that stores a set of instructions; at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to; determine a location of a reference point along a route requested by a user; assign a spatial identifier to the reference point; determine a significance of the reference point; define a search area for the spatial identifier, the search area for the spatial identifier corresponding to a polygon, boundaries of the polygon enclosing the reference point, and a size of the polygon being based on the significance of the reference point; identify points-of-interest (POIs) within the search area; rank the POIs; and provide instructions to display the ranked POIs on a display device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
