  • Patent number: 11943679
    Abstract: Location mapping and navigation user interfaces may be generated and presented via mobile computing devices. A mobile device may detect its location and orientation using internal systems, and may capture image data using a device camera. The mobile device also may retrieve map information from a map server corresponding to the current location of the device. Using the image data captured at the device, the current location data, and the corresponding local map information, the mobile device may determine or update a current orientation reading for the device. Location errors and updated location data also may be determined for the device, and a map user interface may be generated and displayed on the mobile device using the updated device orientation and/or location data.

  • Patent number: 5754743
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for printing a color computer screen display on a monochrome printer by establishing for the screen display a print filter including a set of filter blocks for controlling the printing of the screen display, wherein each filter block designates a filter realm area on the screen in which the filter block is active and a filter color acted on by the filter block and a filter type instructing the printer to either print or not print pixels which lie within the realm area of the block and have a color which matches the filter color of the block. Plural print filters can be established for a screen display or display components thereof and each print filter is enabled when the associated screen display or display component is displayed on the screen. For any portion of a screen display or display component which lies within overlapping realm areas of different print filters, the last-enabled print filter governs the printing.
