Abstract: To provide synergy between spatial and qualitative information in a single display, a client computing device displays a schematic representation of geographic entities that includes qualitative information about each geographic entity. The geographic entities may be portions of a geographic area which are organized spatially in the schematic. While each geographic entity may have a different size or geometry, the geographic entities are displayed within same sized geographic information cards. The geographic information cards are also traversable by a user through panning from one geographic information card to the next or zooming in and out of different views of the geographic information cards.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure is directed to techniques for outputting, by a computing device and for display, a graphical user interface of an application currently executing at the computing device (582). A presence-sensitive input device detects two gestures (584, 588). The computing device determines whether the first gesture starts within a first target starting area of the presence-sensitive input device and terminates in a first target termination area (586), and whether the second gesture starts in a second target starting area of the presence-sensitive input device and terminates in a second target termination area (590). If the conditions are satisfied, the computing device determines whether an amount of time between termination of the first gesture and initiation of the second gesture satisfies a timeout threshold (592), ceasing the output of the graphical user interface when the timeout threshold is satisfied (594).

Abstract: To provide navigation directions in mapping applications, an indication of a geographic location and an indication of a map viewport that includes the geographic location are received. Several candidate starting points from which people are more likely to access the geographic location than from other locations within the map viewport are identified. A starting point is selected from among the several candidate starting points, and navigation directions for guiding a user of the user device from the starting point toward the geographic location are generated for display on the user device.

Abstract: A system and method may indicate a user location and compass direction on a digital map. Map data may be requested from a remote mapping system server using a client computing device. The request may include a geographic area. The map data may be received from the remote mapping system at the client computing device in response to the request. The client computing device may then determine a user location and a user compass direction at the client computing device and render both the user location and the user compass direction within a digital map of the geographic area at the client computing device.

Abstract: An interactive digital map of a geographic area is provided via a viewport that defines a visible portion of the digital map. The digital map includes a representation of a structure. The viewport is panned relative to the digital map in response to receiving a user request. An indication that indoor map data is available for the structure is displayed in response to determining that the viewport is panning, and the indication is removed in response to determining that the viewport has stopped panning.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus directed to utilizing an automated messaging system to initiate and/or adapt a dialog with at least one user, where the dialog occurs via user interface input and output devices of at least one computing device of the user. In some of those implementations, the automated messaging system identifies at least one task associated with the user and initiates the dialog with the user based on identifying the task. The automated messaging system may initiate the dialog to provide the user with additional information related to the task and/or to determine, based on user input provided during the dialog, values for one or more parameters of the task. In some implementations, the automated messaging system may further initiate performance of the task utilizing parameters determined during the dialog.

Abstract: A system and method are provided that display search results and user location on a map. A floor selector interface may be displayed with the map. The floor selector interface may include one or more floor selectors, each of which correspond to a floor in a multi-story building. Upon selection of a floor selector, first search result and location indicators may be displayed transparently or semi-transparently to indicate whether the user or the search results are on the selected floor. If the user or the search results are on a non-selected floor, such indicators may be displayed differently, such as with a different transparency. The floor selector interface may also include second search result and location identifiers. Such second identifiers may be displayed at particular floor selectors corresponding to the present elevation of the user and search results, respectively.

Abstract: A system, method and software application implement a visualization scheme for presenting information in a 3D map. A set of rules specifies the visualization scheme, particularly with respect to how the system renders background objects that are obscured by a foreground object. The objects include elements such as building surfaces, streets, pointers, icons, labels, floor plans, and the like. The rules specify details such as stroke, fill, transparency, opacity, and visibility of the elements. Some of the rules may specify relationships between an object and elements that are considered “internal” to the object, while others of the rules may specify relationships between an object and other elements considered “external” to the object.
