  • Patent number: 11216610
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for generation of a unified view of the graphical user interface. Implementations include actions of receiving, from a server, structured data of an interface template that is generated by the server by parsing interface template data associated with the interface template. The interface template is identified based on an interface identifier included in the service data. A virtual view node for the widget is determined based on the structured data. The widget is retrieved based on the location information associated with the virtual view node. A unified view of the graphical user interface is generated by rendering the widget with a plurality of widgets associated with the graphical user interface and is displayed on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11134138
    Abstract: A client device provides mapless user interfaces to show a service provider's progress in movement toward a start location. One type of mapless interface is a grid interface, which the device selects if the device is subject to low network connectivity. The grid interface includes graphics representing the start location and the service provider. The two graphics are displayed at their respective location coordinates on a coordinate grid. Because the grid interface does not include a map, it can be loaded relatively quickly even when the service requester device is experiencing low network connectivity.
