Abstract
One or more location-based clients can be activated on a mobile device for providing location-based services. The location-based clients can be provided with information (e.g., presets, defaults) related to the current location and/or mode of the mobile device. The information can be obtained from one or more network resources. In some implementations, a location-based client can concurrently display map and vehicle information related to a location of the mobile device.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- determining, by a mobile device, a location of the mobile device;
- transmitting, by a location-based client executed by a processor of the mobile device, a request for information corresponding to the determined location of the mobile device, the request transmitted to a network resource;
- in response to the request for information, receiving, from the network resource, information that includes map content and vehicle related content associated with the location-based client, wherein the vehicle related content is based on the determined location of the mobile device;
- in response to receiving the information from the network resource:
- displaying the map content via a user interface of the mobile device;
- and
- displaying the vehicle related content via the user interface of the mobile device concurrently with the map content.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a mobile device, a location of the mobile device;
- transmitting, by a location-based client executed by a processor of the mobile device, a request for information corresponding to the determined location of the mobile device, the request transmitted to a network resource;
- in response to the request for information, receiving, from the network resource, information that includes map content and vehicle related content associated with the location-based client, wherein the vehicle related content is based on the determined location of the mobile device;
- in response to receiving the information from the network resource:
- displaying the map content via a user interface of the mobile device;
- and
- displaying the vehicle related content via the user interface of the mobile device concurrently with the map content.
A mobile device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine, by the mobile device, a location of the mobile device;
- transmit, by a location-based client executed by a processor of the mobile device, a request for information corresponding to the determined location of the mobile device, the request transmitted to a network resource;
- in response to the request for information, receive, from the network resource, information that includes map content and vehicle related content associated with the location-based client, wherein the vehicle related content is based on the determined location of the mobile device;
- in response to receipt the information from the network resource:
- display the map content via a user interface of the mobile device;
- and
- display the vehicle related content via the user interface of the mobile device concurrently with the map content.
