Abstract: A method for providing adaptive location sharing based on proximity includes identifying a group of entities (people and/or places) associated with a target person, and setting a location sharing mode to one of a plurality of sharing modes including first sharing mode in which current geographic locations of the target person can be shared regardless of proximity between the target person and any group member, and a second sharing mode in which current geographic locations of the target person are conditionally shared based on proximity between the target person and group members. Based on the location sharing mode and, when in the second sharing mode, the proximity of the target person to one or more entities of the group, either current geographic locations, or a location-based status that does not specify any geographic location, is/are shared.

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.
