  • Patent number: 10552017
    Abstract: A map lens may take the form of a shape that may be superimposed on a map displayed in the user interface, moved around the map by the user, and activated by the user to select a region of the map bounded by the map lens. Activation of the map lens may cause the user interface to display only those markers that are within the region bounded by the map lens. In situations where the user moves the map lens over unselected regions of the map, the user interface may dynamically show or hide markers on the map. This may have the effect of presenting to the user a visually uncluttered map in which markers are only shown in the region in which the user has expressed some interest, as indicated by the user moving the map lens to that region of the map.

  • Patent number: 10198527
    Abstract: Within a graphical user interface, a window may be spawned at one point in time and then populated with content at a later point in time. By execution of browser-executable code by a user's device and corresponding server-side code by a machine, a pop-under window may be spawned by the user's device. The spawned pop-under window may be initially hidden by the user's browser window and may be initially loaded with no content or default content. The device may monitor the graphical user interface for search criteria submitted by the user and update the spawned pop-under window based on such search criteria. If the user exits the webpage, and if rules allow presentation of a pop-under window, the pop-under window may be updated by the device for presentation to the user. Based on interest or lack of interest in the updated content, the user may revisit the website.
