Abstract

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a display control unit configured to display a first map, and an operation detection unit configured to detect a first operation of selecting a first spot on the first map. The display control unit displays a second map associated with the selected first spot instead of the first map when the first operation is detected.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display control unit configured to display a first map; and

an operation detection unit configured to detect a first operation of selecting a first spot on the first map,

wherein the display control unit displays a second map associated with the selected first spot instead of the first map when the first operation is detected.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein, when the selected first spot is a destination, the display control unit displays the destination on the second map.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the display control unit displays a route to the destination on the second map.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit displays the second map selected from the second maps.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein the second map is generated for each floor, and

wherein, when a second operation on the displayed second map is detected, the display control unit displays the second map for a floor different from a floor of the displayed second map.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit displays, on the second map, a search screen for searching for a second spot of a category according to a type of the first spot.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6,

wherein the display control unit displays, on the second map, the second spot that has been searched for.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7,

wherein the display control unit displays guidance of a route to the second spot on the second map.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation detection unit accepts an operation of surrounding a first display object displayed on the first map for indicating the first spot.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation detection unit accepts an operation of double-tapping the first spot on the first map.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation detection unit accepts an operation of keeping the first spot on the first map selected for a predetermined time or more.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit displays, on the first map, information on presence or absence of the second map associated with the first spot.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9,

wherein the display control unit displays the first display object with which the second map is associated in a display form different from a display form of the first display object with which the second map is not associated.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display information acquiring unit configured to acquire display information on the selected first spot from an external apparatus,

wherein the display control unit displays the acquired information.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display control unit displays additional information associated with the selected first spot.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the display control unit displays, on the second map, a second display object indicating the destination.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the operation detection unit detects an operation by recognizing a sound.

18. An information processing method comprising:

displaying a first map;

detecting a first operation of selecting a first spot on the first map; and

displaying a second map associated with the selected first spot instead of the first map when the first operation is detected.

19. A program for causing a computer to execute:

a display control function of displaying a first map; and

an operation detection function of detecting a first operation of selecting a first spot on the first map,

wherein the display control function is a function of displaying a second map associated with the selected first spot instead of the first map when the first operation is detected.
