  • Patent number: 9915548
    Abstract: An approach is provided for presenting a contextual menu in a map display. A contextual menu platform determines an input for a delineation of at least one route, at least one geographical area, or a combination thereof in at least one map user interface of at least one device. The contextual menu platform determines contextual information associated with the at least one route, the at least one geographical area, the at least one map user interface, the at least one device, at least one user associated with the at least one device, or a combination thereof. The contextual menu platform also determines one or more contextual menu options based, at least in part, on the contextual information. The contextual menu platform further causes, at least in part, a presentation of at least one contextual menu to present the one or more contextual menu options in the at least one map user interface.

  • Patent number: 9582146
    Abstract: Apparatus has at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon which when executed controls the at least one processor: to cause a list of search results to be displayed, each of the search results being caused to be displayed with a number of elements of associated information, wherein the number is greater than or equal to zero; after a predetermined time period in which no user input is received, to cause the number of elements of associated information that are displayed for each of plural ones of the search results to be increased; and to respond to a user initiated scroll command after the number of elements of associated information that are caused to be displayed for each of plural ones of the search results has been increased by causing the number of elements of associated information that are displayed to be decreased.
