  • Publication number: 20220316917
    Abstract: To provide dynamic generation and suggestion of map tiles, a server device receives from a user device a request for map data for a particular geographic region. The server device obtains a set of user contextual data and a set of candidate map tiles associated with the particular geographic region. The server device then selects one or more of the set of candidate map tiles based on the set of user contextual data, and transmits the one or more selected map tile to the user device for display.

  • Publication number: 20170123623
    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).

  • Publication number: 20170115853
    Abstract: Systems and methods of determining image captions are provided. In particular, metadata and image recognition data associated with an image can be obtained. The metadata and image recognition data can be used to generate one or more image tags associated with the image. One or more caption templates associated with the image can further be determined. Upon a selection of one or more of the image tags, an image caption can be generated using a caption template based at least in part on the user selection. The generated caption can be a sentence or phrase providing semantic and/or contextual information associated with the image.
