摘要： Methods and apparatus for an environment analysis tool on a mobile device which may construct a model of the surrounding environment in order to determine whether or not characteristics of the model implicate a degradation in wireless signal quality. In response to an analysis of the constructed model to determine signal quality, the environment analysis tool may alter the behavior of any number of hardware or software functions to avoid or reduce efforts to receive or use the affected signal over the duration of the mobile device's presence within the environment with the signal-degrading characteristics.

摘要： Methods, systems and apparatus are described to selectively obtain map image data according to virtual camera velocity. Embodiments may display a map view of a map using a virtual camera. Some embodiments may detect a velocity of the virtual camera. Embodiments may then determine map image data for the map view of the map according to the velocity of the virtual camera and obtain the determined map image data. In at least some embodiments, a level-of-detail may be specified for map image data according to the velocity. Map image data may be obtained corresponding to this level-of-detail from a map service or from accessing local storage.

摘要： The described embodiments provide a system for performing an action based on a change in a status of a wired or wireless network connection for the system. During operation, the system detects the change in the status of the network connection. In response to detecting the change, the system determines a state of the system. The system then performs one or more actions using the determined state.

摘要： Methods, systems and apparatus are described to provide a three-dimensional transition for a map view change. Various embodiments may display a map view. Embodiments may obtain input selecting another map view for display. Input may be obtained through the utilization of touch, auditory, or other well-known input technologies. In response to the input selecting a map view, embodiments may then display a transition animation that illustrates moving from the displayed map view to the selected map view in virtual space. Embodiments may then display the selected map view.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for a map tool on a mobile device for implementing cartographically aware gestures directed to a map view of a map region. The map tool may base a cartographically aware gesture on an actual gesture input directed to a map view and based on map data for the map region that may include metadata corresponding to elements within the map region. The map tool may then determine, based on one or more elements of the map data, a modification to be applied to an implementation to the gesture. Given the modification to the gesture implementation, the map tool may then render, based on performing the modification to the gesture, an updated map view instead of an updated map view based solely on the user gesture.

摘要： Communications devices and methods perform spatial, visual content and a separate preview of other content apart from the performed content. Content may include 3-D performances or AR content. Immersive visual content may be received by the communications device and simplified into transcript cells and/or performed render nodes based on metadata, visual attributes, and/or capabilities of the communications device for performance. Render nodes may preview other content, which is performable and selectable with ease from the communications device. Devices may perform both a piece of content and display, in context, render nodes for other visual content, as well as buffer and prepare unseen other content such that a user may seamlessly preview, select, and perform other visual content. Example GUIs may arrange nodes at a distance or arrayed long a selection line in the same coordinates as performed visual content. Users may input commands to move between or modify the nodes.

摘要： Methods, hardware, and software connect users for conversation purposes based on an inquiry matched against a location or description from potential conversation members. Users are matched or sorted and then provided in response to the inquiry. Users can interact with these results and information therein to select a particular conversation partner. When selected, the users are placed into a conversation. The conversation may be paid for beforehand or through metering, and a portion of payment may be provided to the non-paying conversation partner to reward availability and usefulness in the conversation. Users can move between conversation partners and reformat matching results. The functionality can be executed on a mobile computing device or any other networked computer. Conversations and all other provided information can be kept anonymous, and quality of conversation partners may be maintained by ratings and feedback.
