  • Patent number: 11029172
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a real scenario navigation method and apparatus, a device and a computer readable storage medium. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is feasible to obtain the travel manner, the query starting point, the query finishing point and the destination provided by the user, and then perform navigation map-based first travel manner path planning, according to the travel manner, the query starting point and the query finishing point so that it is feasible to perform real-scenario image-based second travel manner path planning, according to the query finishing point and the destination, if the user reaches the query finishing point and a distance between the query finishing point and the destination is smaller than or equal to a preset distance threshold.

  • Patent number: 10801858
    Abstract: A map based navigation method, apparatus and storage medium. The method includes: acquiring a location status of a user terminal carrying a navigation client and a navigation operation of a user; and switching automatically between at least two types of navigation pages of the navigation client, based on the location status of the user terminal and the navigation operation of the user. This method can achieve an automatic switching between different types of navigation pages and satisfy different needs of the user in different situations.

  • Patent number: 10685378
    Abstract: An online system aggregates content item from third party systems for presentation to users of the online system. To do so, the online system accesses the web pages of third party systems to trigger tracking pixels that have been previously placed by the third party systems. A triggered tracking pixel sends a server call to the online system that includes tracking pixel data such as information about the content item that was available on the web page. Based on the information gathered through various tracking pixels, the online system generates a catalog of the content item that can then be presented to a user of the online system such that the user can browse content items of the third party system while accessing the online system.

  • Patent number: 10642914
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing, by a crawling module, a first structured document from an external server, where the first structured document is associated with a first post by a third-party content provider and includes multiple image objects and information associated with the image objects, extracting from the first structured document a sub-set of image objects and information associated with each of the image objects, analyzing the extracted image objects and information to identify categories of image objects based on their features, selecting a first category of image objects that has a highest number of image objects compared to a number of image objects in each other category of image objects, and generating a second post including a multi-image display that includes two or more of the image objects from the first category of image objects.

  • Publication number: 20200116519
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a navigation method and apparatus, a device and a computer readable storage medium. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is feasible to output a navigation details page including at least one navigation path according to a query starting point and a query finishing point provided by a user, then obtain a location where the user lies and a path location of each navigation path in the at least one navigation path, and then bind the user to one navigation path in the at least one navigation path, according to the location where the user lies and the path location of the each navigation path so that the user's movement identifier can be displayed on the bound navigation path.
