Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods and systems of displaying navigation information on a mobile device include determining navigation directions to a destination location and providing related navigation information for display on a primary user interface while the mobile device is operated in an active operating mode. Upon detecting a transition of the mobile device from the active operating mode to a passive operating mode, a subset of location information is configured for display on a secondary user interface. The passive location information can include one or more of a semantic place label associated with the mobile device's current location and a directions indicator in which a user of the mobile device should travel along the navigation directions in order to reach the destination location from the mobile device's current location and/or device orientation. The navigation information can be updated continuously, periodically and/or upon reaching turn points within the navigation directions.
Abstract:
Systems and methods to facilitate the submission of user images that are descriptive of a location or point of interest are provided. One example computer-implemented method includes determining a location at which a first image was captured by a mobile computing device. The method includes obtaining one or more semantic descriptors that semantically describe the location at which the first image was captured. The method includes analyzing the first image to determine one or more subjects of the first image. The method includes determining whether the one or more subjects of the first image are related to the one or more semantic descriptors that semantically describe the location. When it is determined that the one or more subjects of the first image are related to the one or more semantic descriptors that semantically describe the location, the method includes providing a user of the mobile computing device with an opportunity to associate the first image with the location.
