Systems and methods for identifying outlying point of interest search results
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying an outlying point of interest search result, the method comprising:
- Obtaining, by one or more computing devices, a plurality of points of interest, wherein each of the plurality of points of interest has an associated location;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance score for each of the plurality of points of interest, wherein the distance score is associated with a distance between the respective point of interest relative to each of the other points of interest;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance ratio, wherein the distance ratio compares the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of greatest magnitude to the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of second greatest magnitude;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether the distance ratio is greater than a threshold value;
identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a point of interest having the distance score of greatest magnitude as art outlier when a distance ratio is greater than the threshold value; and
providing, by the one or more computing devices, a viewport that is sized to include the plurality of points of interest without any identified outlier point of interest.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying and eliminating outlying point of interest search results to improve the readability of the mapped results are provided. One exemplary method includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, a plurality of points of interest. Each point of interest has an associated location. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance score for each of the plurality of points of interest. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance ratio. The distance ratio compares the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of greatest magnitude to the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of second greatest magnitude.

14. A computing system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more memory devices, the one or more memory devices comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising; obtaining a plurality of points of interest, wherein each of the plurality of points of interest has an associated location; determining a distance score for each of the plurality of points of interest, wherein the distance score is associated with a distance between the respective point of interest relative to each of the other points of interest; determining a distance ratio, wherein the distance ratio compares the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of greatest magnitude to the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of second greatest magnitude; determining whether the distance ratio is greater than a threshold value; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a point of interest having a distance score of greatest magnitude as an outlier when the distance ratio is greater than the threshold value; and providing a viewport that is sized to include the plurality of points of interest without any identified outlier point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
obtaining a plurality of points of interest, wherein each of the plurality of points of interest has an associated location; determining a distance score for each of the plurality of points of interest, wherein the distance score is associated with a distance between the respective point of interest relative to each of the other points of interest; determining a distance ratio, wherein the distance ratio compares the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of greatest magnitude to the distance score associated with the point of interest having the distance score of second greatest magnitude; determining whether the distance ratio is greater than a threshold value; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a point of interest having a distance score of greatest magnitude as an outlier when the distance ratio is greater than the threshold value; and providing a viewport that is sized to include the plurality of points of interest without any identified outlier point of interest.
