Patent number: 10198164Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying imagery of a geographic area are provided. More particularly, a location selector interface element can be displayed in conjunction with the imagery when a continuous zoom event is detected. In response to the continuous zoom event, the location selector interface element can be displayed in conjunction with, for instance, a zoom interface for zooming the imagery. The location selector interface element can include a plurality of geographic labels. Each geographic label can be associated with a different zoom level of the imagery. Each geographic label can provide a description of a geographic area corresponding to the zoom level associated with the geographic label. A user can interact with the location selector interface element to select a desired zoom level for viewing the imagery. In response to the user interaction, the imagery can be zoomed to the zoom level corresponding to the selected geographic label.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Bailiang Zhou, Patrick Hofmann

Patent number: 6418372Abstract: A low-cost guidance system for guiding a user to a selected one of multiple locations in a defined area. The system includes a portable device per user and multiple indicators. The portable device includes an infrared transceiver and an input to receive information corresponding to a selected location in the defined area. An indicator includes an indicator infrared transceiver, direction signs, and directional information corresponding to the relative direction in a path from the indicator to each of the locations. The portable device directly communicates the information corresponding to the selected location via the device infrared transceiver to the indicator infrared transceiver of the indicator to cause the indicator to access the directional information and activate the appropriate direction sign to guide the user toward the selected location.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Siemens Technology-To-Business Center, LLCInventor: Ingmar Patrick Hofmann
