Description

System and method for displaying points of interest

Technical Field

The present application relates generally to systems and methods for map display, and more particularly to systems and methods for displaying points of interest (POIs) on a map.

Background

Map displays, and particularly point of interest displays on maps, are becoming increasingly popular. Some existing maps display points of interest at fixed locations (e.g., upper left or right corners) on a screen on which the map is displayed. The user typically cannot obtain the exact location of the point of interest from a fixed location. For example, there is a restaurant on the south and north sides of the east-west road. Both restaurants are displayed at the upper right corner of the screen displaying the map. When the user wants to go to one of the two restaurants, he/she cannot determine the location of the restaurant. In some existing maps, the detailed information of the point of interest often coincides with a symbol representing the current location of the user. Therefore, the user may not be able to determine the current location and the road conditions around the current location, thereby affecting safe driving. Other existing maps move the location symbol representing the user's current location to avoid overlapping of the location symbol with the detailed information of the point of interest, thereby causing inaccurate display of the current location. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a system and method for automatically displaying detailed information of points of interest without overlapping with a location symbol of a user.

Disclosure of Invention

One aspect of the present application introduces a system for displaying points of interest. The system may include at least one storage medium including a set of instructions for displaying a point of interest, and at least one processor in communication with the storage medium.

Detailed Description

The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the application and is provided in the context of a particular application and its requirements. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes can be made to the disclosed embodiments and that the general principles defined in this application can be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the principles and scope of the application. Thus, the present application is not limited to the described embodiments, but should be accorded the widest scope consistent with the claims.

The terminology used in the description presented herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" may include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this application, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, and/or groups thereof.

The features and characteristics of the present application, as well as the methods of operation and functions of the related elements of structure and the combination of parts and economies of manufacture, will become more apparent upon consideration of the following description of the drawings, which form a part hereof. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for the purposes of illustration and description and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the application. It should be understood that the drawings are not to scale.

Flow charts are used herein to illustrate operations performed by systems according to some embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the operations in the flow diagrams may be performed out of order. Rather, various steps may be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. Also, one or more other operations may be added to the flowcharts. One or more operations may also be deleted from the flowchart.

One aspect of the present application relates to systems and methods for displaying points of interest. To this end, the system and method may display the detailed information of the point of interest as an anchor point, and the detailed information of the point of interest is not overlapped with a symbol representing the point of interest nor a symbol representing a current location of the user terminal. The display area of the detailed information may increase with a distance between the current location and the point of interest. The closer the interest point is to the current position, the larger the display area of the detailed information of the interest point. The system and method may further display more detailed information of the point of interest when the user of the user terminal interacts with the displayed detailed information. When the user moves from the current point of interest (the above-mentioned point of interest) to the next point of interest, the display area of the current point of interest may decrease, and the display area of the symbol of the next point of interest may increase as the distance between the current position and the current point of interest increases. In this way, the system and method of the present application can automatically recommend points of interest to a user and display detailed information of the points of interest without overlapping with the symbol of the current location. In addition, the point of interest information may be used for advertising, entertainment, or recreation.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating exemplary hardware and software components of a computing device 200 on which server 110 and/or terminal device 130 may be implemented according to some embodiments of the present application. For example, the processing engine 112 may implement and perform the functions of the processing engine 112 disclosed herein on the computing device 200.

Computing device 200 may be used to implement system 100 for the present application. Computing device 200 may be used to implement any component of system 100 that performs one or more functions disclosed herein. For example, the processing engine 112 may be implemented on the computing device 200 by its hardware, software programs, firmware, or a combination thereof. Although only one such computer is shown, for convenience, computer functions related to the online-to-offline services described herein may be implemented in a distributed manner across multiple similar platforms to distribute processing load.

For example, computing device 200 may include a network connectivity communication port 250 to enable data communication. The communication port 250 may be any network port or data exchange port to facilitate data communication. Computing device 200 may also include a processor (e.g., processor 220) in the form of one or more processors (e.g., logic circuits) for executing program instructions. For example, a processor includes, among other things, interface circuitry and processing circuitry.

The processing circuitry may perform logical computations and then determine the conclusion, result, and/or instruction encoding as electrical signals. The processing circuit may also generate an electronic signal including a conclusion or result and a trigger code. In some embodiments, the trigger code may be in a format recognizable by the operating system (or an application installed therein) of the electronic device (e.g., terminal device 130) in system 100. For example, the trigger code may be instructions, code, indicia, symbols, etc., or any combination thereof, that may activate certain functions and/or operations of the handset or cause the handset to execute a preset program. In some embodiments, the trigger code may be configured as an operating system (or application) of the electronic device to generate a representation of a conclusion or result (e.g., information of a point of interest) on an interface of the electronic device. The interface circuit may then send the electrical signals from the processing circuit via bus 210.

An exemplary computing device may include an internal communication bus 210, various forms of program storage and data storage, including, for example, a disk 270 and Read Only Memory (ROM)230 or Random Access Memory (RAM)240 for various data files processed and/or transmitted by the computing device. The exemplary computing device may also include program instructions stored in read-only memory 230, random-access memory 240, and/or other forms of non-transitory storage that can be executed by processor 220. The methods and/or processes of the present application may be embodied in the form of program instructions. The exemplary computing device may also include an operating system executed by processor 220 that is stored in read-only memory 230, random-access memory 240, and/or other types of non-transitory storage media. The program instructions may be compatible with an operating system for providing online-to-offline services. Computing device 200 also includes input/output 260, which supports input/output between the computer and other components. Computing device 200 may also receive programming and data via network communications.

For illustration only, only one processor is shown in FIG. 2. The use of multiple processors is also contemplated; thus, as described herein, operations and/or method steps performed by one processor may also be performed jointly or separately by multiple processors. For example, if in the present application the processors of the computing device 200 perform steps a and B, it should be understood that steps a and B may also be performed by two different processors of the computing device 200, either together or independently (e.g., the first processor performs step a, the second processor performs step B, or the first and the second processors perform steps a and B together).

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of exemplary hardware and/or software components of an exemplary mobile device 300 on which terminal device 130 may be implemented in accordance with some embodiments of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, mobile device 300 may include a communication platform 310, a display 320, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)330, a Central Processing Unit (CPU)340, input/output 350, memory 360, and storage 390. The central processing unit may include interface circuitry and processing circuitry similar to processor 220. In some embodiments, any other suitable component, including but not limited to a system bus or a controller (not shown), may also be included in mobile device 300. In some embodiments, the operating system 370 is mobile (e.g., iOS)^TM、Android^TM、Windows Phone^TMEtc.) and one or more applications 380 may be loaded from storage 390 into memory 360 such that execution of the applications 380 by the central processing unit 340 may include a browser or any other suitable mobile application for receiving and presenting information related to route planning services. User interaction with the information flow may be enabled via input/output 350 and provided to processing engine 112 and/or other components of system 100 via network 120.

To implement the various modules, units, and their functionality described herein, a computer hardware platform may be used as a hardware platform for one or more of the elements described herein (e.g., system 100 and/or other components of system 100 described with respect to fig. 1-10). The hardware elements, operating systems and programming languages of such computers are conventional in nature and it is assumed that one of ordinary skill in the art is sufficiently familiar with adapting these techniques to provide the reliability of the transit time of the target candidate path as described herein. A computer containing user interface elements can be used as a Personal Computer (PC) or other type of workstation or terminal device, suitably programmed, and also used as a server. It will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be familiar with the structure, programming and general operation of such computer devices and, therefore, the drawings should not be self-explanatory.

One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that when an element of system 100 executes, the element may execute via electrical and/or electromagnetic signals. For example, when the server 110 processes a task, such as displaying a first window of target points of interest, the server 110 may operate logic in its processor to process the task. When the server 110 is finished determining the target point of interest, the processor of the server 110 may generate an electrical signal encoding a first window of the target point of interest. The processor of the server 110 may then send the electrical signal to at least one data exchange port of a target system associated with the server 110. The server 110 communicates with the target system over a wired network, and at least one data exchange port may be physically connected to a cable that may also transmit electrical signals to an input port (e.g., an information exchange port) of the end device 130. If the server 110 is in communication with a target system via a wireless network, at least one data exchange port of the target system may be one or more antennas that may convert electrical signals to electromagnetic signals. In an electronic device such as terminal device 130 and/or server 110, when a processor in the processor processes instructions, issues instructions, and/or performs actions, the instructions and/or actions are performed by electrical signals. For example, when the processor retrieves or stores data from a storage medium (e.g., memory 140), it may send electrical signals to a read/write device of the storage medium, which may read or write structured data in the storage medium. The configuration data may be transmitted to the processor in the form of electrical signals via a bus of the electronic device. Here, the electrical signal may be one electrical signal, a series of electrical signals, and/or at least two discrete electrical signals.

Fig. 4 is a block diagram of an exemplary processing engine 112 shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the processing engine 112 may include a location determination module 410, a target point of interest determination module 420, a display module 430, an input receiving module 440, a next point of interest determination module 450, and an overlap determination module 460.

The location determination module 410 may be used to determine the location of the terminal device 130. In some embodiments, the location of the terminal device 130 may be a current location of the terminal device 130 or a specified location specified by a user of the terminal device 130.

The target point of interest determination module 420 may be used to determine a target point of interest. In some embodiments, the target point of interest determination module 420 may determine the target point of interest to display based on the location of the terminal device 130. For example, the target point of interest determination module 420 may determine at least one candidate point of interest associated with a route from a starting location to a destination and determine the target point of interest from the at least one candidate point of interest based on the location of the terminal device 130. For another example, the target interest point determining module 420 may determine at least one candidate interest point associated with the location of the terminal device 130, and select one interest point from the at least one candidate interest point as the target interest point according to a preset condition.

The display module 430 may be used to display information related to a location, a target point of interest, at least one candidate point of interest, etc. through a user interface. For example, the display module 430 may display a first window including first information related to the target point of interest. For another example, the display module 430 may display a second window including second information related to the target point of interest. As another example, the display module 430 may display a location symbol for the location, a symbol for each of the at least one candidate point of interest, a point of interest symbol for the target point of interest, a map, and the like, or any combination thereof.

The input receiving module 440 may be used to receive user input from the user's terminal device 130. For example, the input receiving module 440 may receive, through the user interface, a user input associated with a first window of target points of interest. For another example, the input receiving module 440 may receive user input associated with the second window of target points of interest through the user interface. As another example, the input receiving module 440 may receive user input associated with a map through a user interface.

The next point of interest determination module 450 may be used to determine the next point of interest to display with respect to the target point of interest. For example, the next point of interest determination module 450 may determine the next point of interest based on the location of the terminal device.

The overlap determination module 460 may be configured to determine whether the preset window overlaps with a location symbol of the location of the terminal device 130. For example, the overlap determination module 460 may determine a display distance between the position symbol of the position of the terminal device 130 and the interest point symbol of the target interest point and an area of a preset window of the target interest point. For another example, the overlap determination module 460 may determine whether the preset window overlaps with the position symbol of the position of the terminal device 130 based on the display distance and the area of the preset window of the target interest point. As another example, the overlap determination module 460 may move the preset window away from the position symbol of the position of the terminal device 130 until the preset window does not overlap with the position symbol of the position of the terminal device 130.

The modules in the processing engine 112 may be connected or in communication with each other via a wired connection or a wireless connection. The wired connection may include a metal cable, an optical cable, a hybrid cable, etc., or any combination thereof. The wireless connection may be a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), bluetooth, zigbee network, Near Field Communication (NFC), etc., or any combination thereof. Two or more modules may be combined into a single module, and any one of the modules may be divided into two or more units. For example, the target point of interest determination module 420 and the next point of interest determination module 450 may be integrated into a point of interest determination module to determine a target point of interest and a next point of interest relative to the target point of interest. As another example, processing engine 112 may include a storage module (not shown) for storing data and/or information related to route planning services.

FIG. 5 is a flow diagram of an exemplary process 500 for displaying points of interest, shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Process 500 may be performed by system 100. For example, process 500 may be implemented as a set of instructions (e.g., an application program) stored in read only memory 230 or random access memory 240. Processor 220 may execute a single instruction and, upon execution of the instruction, may be configured to perform process 500. The operation of the process shown below is for illustration purposes only. In some embodiments, process 500 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described and/or one or more operations not discussed. Additionally, the order of the operations of the process illustrated in FIG. 5 and described below is not intended to be limiting.

In 510, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, location determination module 410) may determine the location of the end device 130.

In some embodiments, the location of the terminal device 130 may be the current location of the terminal device 130. In some embodiments, end device 130 may generate a positioning signal according to a positioning technology of end device 130 and transmit the positioning signal to processing engine 112 via network 120. Processing engine 112 may determine the location of end device 130 based on the positioning signals. In some embodiments, the location of the terminal device 130 may be a designated location. For example, the user of the terminal device 130 may specify a position on a map displayed on the screen of the terminal device 130. Processing engine 112 may obtain the location from end device 130.

In 520, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, target point of interest determination module 420) may determine a target point of interest to display based on the location of the terminal device 130.

In some embodiments, the target point of interest may be a location point or a place location automatically displayed on a map in response to determining the location of the terminal device 130. In some embodiments, the map may be displayed in an application installed in terminal device 130 (e.g., a map application, a navigation application, an online taxi application, etc.). For example, a user may enter a start location and a destination in an application. Processing engine 112 may determine at least one route from a starting location to a destination and display the at least one route and a location (e.g., a current location) of end device 130 on a map. The processing engine 112 may determine at least two candidate points of interest along the route or within a first preset distance from the route. A target point of interest may be selected from the at least two candidate points of interest. For example, the processing engine 112 may select, as the target interest point, an interest point within a second preset distance from the terminal device 130 from the at least two candidate interest points, and display the target interest point. For another example, the processing engine 112 may select, as the target interest point, an interest point having a shortest distance from the terminal device 130 from the at least two candidate interest points, and display the target interest point. In some embodiments, processing engine 112 may determine at least one candidate point of interest within a third predetermined distance from terminal device 130. The processing engine 112 may select an interest point satisfying a first preset condition from the at least one candidate interest point as a target interest point, and display the target interest point. For example, the processing engine 112 may select, as the target interest point, an interest point having the shortest distance from the terminal device 130 from the at least one candidate interest point, and display the target interest point. In some embodiments, the first preset distance, the second preset distance, the third preset distance and the first preset condition may be predetermined and stored in a storage device (e.g., the memory 140, the rom 230, the ram 240, etc.) of the system 100, or determined by the system 100 or an operator thereof according to different application scenarios. In some embodiments, the process of determining a target point of interest may be found elsewhere in the application (e.g., fig. 10 and its description).

In some embodiments, the candidate points of interest may be a particular point location that may be useful or interesting to the user of the terminal device 130. In some embodiments, the candidate points of interest may include at least two types. For example, candidate points of interest may include scenic spots, amusement parks, restaurants, shopping malls, stores, gas stations, hotels, parking lots, banks, hospitals, and the like, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, at least two candidate points of interest may be displayed on the map with corresponding point of interest symbols. The interest point symbol may represent a type candidate interest point. In some embodiments, the point of interest symbol may be an identifier (e.g., a picture, a label, a letter, etc.) that represents a candidate point of interest type.

At 530, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, display module 430) may display a first window of target points of interest via the user interface.

In some embodiments, the first window may include first information associated with the target point of interest. In some embodiments, the first information may include first detailed information of the target point of interest. For example, the first information may include a name of the target point of interest, a picture of the target point of interest, a type of the target point of interest, promotional information associated with the target point of interest, comments on the target point of interest, an introduction to the target point of interest, a recommended reason for the target point of interest, key points of the target point of interest, or the like, or any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, a first window of target points of interest may be displayed with the target points of interest as anchor points. For example, a user of terminal device 130 may interact with (e.g., click on or touch) the first window to view more information of the target point of interest. In some embodiments, the first window may be any shape. For example, the first window may comprise a rectangle, square, circle, heart, etc., or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the area of the first window may be varied during display. For example, as the distance between the location of the terminal device 130 and the target point of interest decreases, the area of the first window of the target point of interest may increase. The shorter the distance of the location from the target point of interest, the larger the area of the first window. For another example, as the distance between the location of the terminal device 130 and the target point of interest increases, the area of the first window of the target point of interest may decrease. The longer the distance of the location from the target point of interest, the smaller the area of the first window. The area of the first window may be maximized when the location is at a shortest distance from the target point of interest. In some embodiments, the maximum area may be predetermined and stored in a storage device (e.g., memory 140, read only memory 230, random access memory 240, etc.) of the system 100, or determined by the system 100 or an operator thereof according to different application scenarios.

In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may display the point of interest symbols for the target point of interest through a user interface. In some embodiments, the interest point symbol of the target interest point may represent a type of the target interest point. For example, the target points of interest may include scenic spot types, amusement parks, restaurants, shopping malls, stores, gas stations, hotels, parking lots, banks, hospitals, and the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the point of interest symbol of the target point of interest may be an identifier (e.g., a picture, a label, a letter, etc.) representing the type of the target point of interest.

In some embodiments, processing engine 112 may display a location symbol of the location of end device 130 via a user interface. In some embodiments, the location symbol may indicate the location of the terminal device on a map. In some embodiments, the location symbol for the location may be an identifier (e.g., a picture, a label, an arrow, a circle, etc.). In some embodiments, the location symbol may move as the terminal device 130 moves.

In some embodiments, the first window of target points of interest may not overlap with the point of interest symbol of the target point of interest and the location symbol of the location of the terminal device 130. In some embodiments, the map may display a location symbol for the location, a point of interest symbol for the target point of interest, a first window for the target point of interest, a route navigated by the processing engine 112 for the terminal device 130, a location symbol for the start location, a location symbol for the destination, and point of interest symbols for at least two candidate points of interest. The first window of the target point of interest does not overlap any of the location symbol of the location, the point of interest symbol of the target point of interest, the route navigated by the processing engine 112 for the terminal device 130, the location symbol of the starting location, the location symbol of the destination, and the point of interest symbols of the at least two candidate points of interest.

In some embodiments, as the terminal device 130 moves, the processing engine 112 (e.g., the processor 220, the next point of interest determination module 450) may determine a next point of interest relative to the target point of interest for display based on the location of the terminal device. For example, as the terminal device 130 moves along the route, the location (e.g., current location) of the terminal device 130 may be farther away from the target point of interest and closer to the next point of interest of the target point of interest. The next point of interest may be a new target point of interest determined in accordance with operation 520 described herein. In some embodiments, as the distance between the terminal device location and the target point of interest increases, the area of the point of interest symbol of the target point of interest may decrease. The area of the interest point symbol of the target interest point may be the largest when the distance between the terminal device location and the target interest point is the smallest. In some embodiments, the area of the interest point symbol of the next interest point may increase as the area of the interest point symbol of the target interest point decreases. In some embodiments, when the area of the interest point symbol of the target interest point decreases to 0 (i.e., the interest point symbol of the target interest point disappears), the area of the interest point symbol of the next interest point may be the largest.

In some embodiments, the user interface may be part of the terminal device 130. For example, the terminal device 130 may be a mobile device of a user, and the user interface may be a screen of the mobile device. The user may send a navigation request to the processing engine 112. During navigation, the processing engine 112 may display a location symbol for the location of the mobile device, a point of interest symbol for the target point of interest, and a first window for the target point of interest on a screen of the mobile device. As another example, the user interface may be part of an in-vehicle device. For example, a user may use a mobile device to send a taxi taking request to the processing engine 112. The processing engine 112 may schedule the vehicle to the user based on the taxi taking request. The processing engine 112 may direct an in-vehicle device of the vehicle (e.g., an in-vehicle screen, an in-vehicle computer, etc.) to display a location symbol of the mobile device location, a point of interest symbol of the target point of interest, and a first window of the target point of interest on a screen of the in-vehicle device.

It should be noted that the foregoing is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Various changes and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art based on the description herein. For example, operation 530 may be divided into three steps for displaying a first window of the target point of interest, a point of interest symbol of the target point of interest, and a location symbol of the location of the terminal device 130, respectively. However, such changes and modifications do not depart from the scope of the present application.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary map shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, the map may display a start position 610 (indicated by "S" in black circles), a destination 620 (indicated by "D" in black circles), and a route 630 (indicated as a black line) from the start position 610 to the destination 620 of the user of the terminal device 130. The processing engine 112 may determine at least two candidate points of interest and display the point of interest symbols 640 of the at least two candidate points of interest along the route 630 or within a first predetermined distance from the route 630. Different interest point symbols may represent different types of interest points. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a horse may represent a casino and a tree a scenic spot. Processing engine 112 may determine the location of end device 130 and display location symbol 650 for the location. The processing engine 112 may determine the water cube as a target point of interest within a second predetermined range from the location and display the point of interest symbol 660 and a first window 670 of the water cube. As shown in FIG. 6, the area of the interest point symbol 660 of the water cube (i.e., the target interest point) may be greater than the area of the interest point symbol 640 of the candidate interest point. The first window 670 may include first information including a picture of the water cube, the name of the water cube, and a recommended reason for the water cube (e.g., popularity). The first window 670 of target points of interest may be displayed as an anchor point and may not overlap the point of interest symbol 660 of the water cube (i.e., target point of interest), the location symbol 650 of the location, and the route 630.

It should be noted that fig. 6 is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Various changes and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art based on the description herein.

FIG. 7 is a flow diagram of an exemplary process 700 for displaying points of interest, shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Process 700 may be performed by system 100. For example, process 700 may be implemented as a set of instructions (e.g., an application program) stored in read only memory 230 or random access memory 240. Processor 220 may execute a set of instructions and, when executing the instructions, may be configured to perform process 700. The operation of the process shown below is for illustration purposes only. In some embodiments, process 700 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described, and/or without one or more of the operations discussed. Additionally, the order of the operations of the process illustrated in FIG. 7 and described below is not intended to be limiting.

At 710, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, input receiving module 440) may receive, via the user interface, a user input associated with the first window of target points of interest.

In some embodiments, a user of the user terminal 130 may interact with the map through a user interface. For example, the user input may include clicking on the first window, touching the first window, voice input, motion input, and the like, or any combination thereof.

At 720, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, display module 430) may display, via the user interface, a second window associated with the target point of interest.

In some embodiments, the second window may include second information of the target point of interest. In some embodiments, the second information may include second detailed information of the target point of interest. For example, the second information may include a name of the target point of interest, a picture of the target point of interest, a type of the target point of interest, promotional information associated with the target point of interest, comments on the target point of interest, an introduction to the target point of interest, a recommended reason for the target point of interest, a key point of the target point of interest, an address of the target point of interest, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the second information may contain more target point of interest information than the first information. For example, the first information may include a name of the target point of interest, a picture of the target point of interest, and a type of the target point of interest. The second information may include a name of the target point of interest, a picture of the target point of interest, a type of the target point of interest, promotional information associated with the target point of interest, comments on the target point of interest, and an address of the target point of interest.

In some embodiments, the second window of target points of interest may be displayed in any shape. For example, the second window may comprise a rectangle, square, circle, heart, etc., or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the area of the second window may be a preset constant value. In some embodiments, the preset constant value may be predetermined and stored in a storage device (e.g., memory 140, read only memory 230, random access memory 240, etc.) of the system 100, or determined by the system 100 or an operator thereof according to different application scenarios. In some embodiments, the area of the second window may be larger than the area of the first window. In some embodiments, the second window may be displayed on a preset location of the map or screen.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary map according to some embodiments shown in the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the map may display a location symbol 810 for the location of the terminal device 130, a point of interest symbol 820 for a target point of interest (happy city), a first window 830 for the target point of interest, and a second window 840 for the target point of interest. The first window 830 may include first information including a picture of happy city, a name of happy city, and a recommended reason (e.g., popularity) of happy city. The first window 830 of target points of interest may be displayed as an anchor point and may not overlap the point of interest symbol 820 of the great city (i.e., the target point of interest) and the location symbol 810 of the location. The second window 840 may include second information including a picture of happy city, a name of happy city, a recommended reason for happy city (e.g., popularity), an address of happy city, promotional information for happy city (e.g., cash voucher), a brand in happy city, and a comment on happy city. The second information may include more information than the first information. The area of the second window 830 may be larger than the area of the first window 810. The second window 830 may be displayed at the rightmost side of the map.

It should be noted that fig. 8 is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Various changes and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art based on the description herein.

FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary process 800 for displaying points of interest in accordance with some embodiments of the present application. Process 900 may be performed by system 100. For example, process 900 may be implemented by a set of instructions (e.g., an application program) stored in storage read only memory 230 or random access memory 240. The processor 220 may execute the set of instructions and, when executing the instructions, may be configured to perform the process 900. The operation of the process shown below is for illustration purposes only. In some embodiments, process 900 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described, and/or without one or more of the operations discussed. Additionally, the order of the operations of the process illustrated in FIG. 9 and described below is not intended to be limiting.

At 910, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, overlap determination module 460) may determine a display distance between a location symbol of the location of the end device 130 and a point of interest symbol of the target point of interest.

In some embodiments, the display distance may be a distance between a location symbol of the location of the terminal device 130 and a point of interest symbol of the target point of interest on a map displayed through the user interface. In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may determine its display distance based on the location and coordinates of the target point of interest, the scale of the displayed map, the area of the displayed user interface, or the like, or any combination thereof. For example, the processing engine 112 may use a first machine learning model to determine the display distance. The first machine learning model may be pre-trained and stored in a storage device (e.g., storage device 140, read-only memory 230, random access memory 240, etc.) of the system 100.

At 920, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, overlap determination module 460) may determine a preset window of target points of interest.

In some embodiments, the preset window of target points of interest may be a preset window of a preset area that the processing engine 112 directs the user interface to display. In some embodiments, the preset window may include third information associated with the target point of interest. For example, the third information may include a name of the target point of interest, a picture of the target point of interest, a type of the target point of interest, promotional information associated with the target point of interest, comments on the target point of interest, an introduction to the target point of interest, a recommended reason for the target point of interest, key points of the target point of interest, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the predetermined area of the predetermined window may be predetermined and stored in a storage device (e.g., memory 140, rom 230, ram 240, etc.) of the system 100. In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may access the storage device to obtain the preset area of the target point of interest. In some embodiments, the preset area of the preset window may be different based on the area of the map displayed on the user interface. For example, the preset area of the preset window may have a maximum value and a minimum value. The processing engine 112 may determine the preset area of the preset window based on the area of the displayed map on the user interface.

In 930, the processing engine 112 (e.g., the processor 220, the overlap determination module 460) may determine whether the preset window overlaps with the position symbol of the position of the terminal device 130 according to the display distance of the target point of interest and the area of the preset window.

In some embodiments, the map may display the location, the target point of interest, the point of interest symbol of the target point of interest, the location symbol of the location, and a preset window of the target point of interest in two layers. For example, the location and the target point of interest may be displayed together in a first layer of the map, and a location symbol of the location, a point of interest symbol of the target point of interest, and a preset window of the target point of interest may be displayed in a second layer. In some embodiments, the first layer may be scalable, while the second layer may not be scalable. In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may project the first layer and the second layer onto the third layer based on the display distance and the area of the preset window. The processing engine 112 may determine whether the preset window overlaps with the position symbol of the position based on the projection on the third layer. In some embodiments, processing engine 112 may pre-train a second machine learning model that stores the second machine learning model in a storage device (e.g., memory 140, read only memory 230, random access memory 240, etc.) of system 100. The second machine learning model may be trained to predict whether the preset window overlaps the position symbol based on a display distance of the target point of interest and an area of the preset window. The processing engine 112 may determine whether the preset window overlaps the position symbol by inputting the display distance and the area of the preset window into the second machine learning model.

At 940, in response to determining that the preset window overlaps the location symbol for the location, the processing engine 112 (e.g., the processor 220, the overlap determination module 460) may move the preset window away from the location symbol for the location of the terminal device 130 until the preset window does not overlap the location symbol for the location of the terminal device 130.

In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 moves the preset window in any direction away from the location symbol. For example, the processing engine 112 may determine a relative position of the preset window with respect to the position symbol and move the preset window a fourth preset distance in an opposite direction of the relative position. The processing engine 112 may determine whether the preset window overlaps the symbol of the location after each movement. For example, if the processing engine 112 determines that the preset window overlaps the symbol of the position after moving the preset window a fourth preset distance in the opposite direction of the relative position, the processing engine 112 may continue to move the preset window another fourth preset distance in the opposite direction of the relative position until the preset window does not overlap the symbol of the position. In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may move the preset window a fifth preset distance in a direction of a preset angle (e.g., 120 degrees, 150 degrees, etc.) to the relative position. In some embodiments, the fourth preset distance, the fifth preset distance, and/or the preset angle may be stored in a storage device (e.g., the storage device 140, the read only memory 230, the random access memory 240, etc.) of the system 100, or may be determined according to different application scenarios.

At 950, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, display module 430) may display the preset window as a first window of the target point of interest. Returning to operation 930, in response to determining that the preset window does not overlap the location symbol of the location, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, display module 430) may perform operation 950 to display the preset window as the first window of the target point of interest.

In some embodiments, the processing engine 112, in response to determining that the preset window overlaps the position symbol of the position, processes the window in the window to generate a window frame

The area of the preset window may be reduced (e.g., by the processor 220, the overlap determination module 460) until the preset window does not overlap with the position symbol of the terminal device 130, and the preset window is displayed as the first window of the target point of interest. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the preset window overlaps the location symbol of the location, the processing engine 112 (e.g., processor 220, overlap determination module 460) may alter the scale of the map until the preset window does not overlap the location symbol of the location of the terminal device 130 and display the preset window as the first window of the target point of interest. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the preset window overlaps the position symbol of the position, the processing engine 112 (e.g., the processor 220, the overlap determination module 460) may alter the shape of the preset window. For example, if the preset window that overlaps the position symbol of the position is a square, the processing engine 112 may change the square to a circle to avoid the preset window overlapping the position symbol of the position.

It should be noted that the foregoing is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Various changes and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art based on the description herein. For example, operation 940 may include one or more processes that cause a position to not overlap with a position symbol for a position. However, such changes and modifications do not depart from the scope of the present application.

Fig. 10 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary process 900 for determining a target point of interest in accordance with some embodiments of the present application.

In 1010, the processing engine 112 (e.g., the processor 220, the target point of interest determination module 420) may determine at least one candidate point of interest associated with a route from a starting location to a destination.

In some embodiments, at least two points of interest may be stored in a storage device (e.g., storage device 140, read only memory 230, random access memory 240, etc.) of system 100. Processing engine 112 may obtain a starting location and a destination from end device 130 and determine at least one candidate route from the starting location to the destination. In some embodiments, processing engine 112 may determine the route based on the location of end device 130. For example, processing engine 112 may determine a route along which terminal device 130 moves based on the location. In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may access the storage device to obtain at least one candidate point of interest associated with the route. For example, the processing engine 112 may determine a distance between a point on the route and each of the at least one candidate point of interest. The processing engine 112 may rank the distances according to an ascending order and select a first preset number of points of interest at the top of the ranking as at least one candidate point of interest associated with the route. In some embodiments, the first preset number may be stored in a storage device (e.g., storage device 140, rom 230, ram 240, etc.) of the system 100 or determined according to different application scenarios. For example, a first preset number of candidate points of interest may be determined according to the length of the route. For another example, the preset number may be determined according to the type of route (e.g., highway, street, etc.). In some embodiments, processing engine 112 may divide the route into at least two segments. The processing engine 112 may access the storage device to obtain a second preset number of points of interest closest to each segment of the route as at least one candidate point of interest associated with the route. In some embodiments, the second preset number may be stored in a storage device (e.g., the storage device 140, the rom 230, the ram 240, etc.) of the system 100 or determined according to different application scenarios. For example, the processing engine 112 may obtain two points of interest from a route per kilometer in the storage device.

In 1020, the processing engine 112 (e.g., the processor 220, the target point of interest determination module 420) may determine a target point of interest from the at least one candidate point of interest based on the location of the end device 130.

In some embodiments, the target point of interest may be within a second predetermined distance from the location of the terminal device 130. In some embodiments, the second preset distance may be stored in a storage device (e.g., the storage device 140, the rom 230, the ram 240, etc.) of the system 100 or determined according to different application scenarios. In some embodiments, the processing engine 112 may select, as the target point of interest, one of the at least two candidate points of interest having the smallest distance to the location of the end device 130.
