Abstract

Systems and methods of providing a user interface in which map features associated with places are selectively highlighted are disclosed herein. In some example embodiments, a computer system receives a request for a transportation service associated with a place, retrieves an entrance geographic location for the place from a database, with the entrance geographic location being stored in association with the place in the database and representing an entrance for accessing the place, generating route information based on the retrieved entrance geographic location, with the route information indicating a route from an origin geographic location of a computing device of a user to the entrance geographic location of the place, and causing the generated route information to be displayed within a user interface on a computing device of the user.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computer system having at least one hardware processor, a request for a transportation service associated with a place;
retrieving, by the computer system, an entrance geographic location for the place from a database, the entrance geographic location being stored in association with the place in the database, and the entrance geographic location representing an entrance for accessing the place;
generating, by the computer system, route information based on the retrieved entrance geographic location, the route information indicating a route from an origin geographic location of a computing device of a user to the entrance geographic location of the place;
causing, by the computer system, the generated route information to be displayed within a user interface on a computing device of the users;
detecting, by the computer system, that a current geographic location of the computing device of the user is within a predetermined distance of the entrance geographic location of the place;
and
in response to the detecting that the current geographic location of the computing device of the user is within the predetermined distance of the entrance geographic location:
causing, by the computer system, at least one photographic image of the place to be displayed within the user interface of the computing device;
causing, by the computer system, a visual representation of the entrance to be highlighted within the user interface of the computing device;
and
causing, by the computer system, an identifying label to be displayed in association with the visual representation of the entrance within the user interface.

8 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor;
and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a request for a transportation service associated with a place;
retrieving an entrance geographic location for the place from a database, the entrance geographic location being stored in association with the place in the database, and the entrance geographic location representing an entrance for accessing the place;
generating route information based on the retrieved entrance geographic location, the route information indicating a route from an origin geographic location of a computing device of a user to the entrance geographic location of the place;
causing the generated route information to be displayed within a user interface on a computing device of the user;
detecting that a current geographic location of the computing device of the user is within a predetermined distance of the entrance geographic location of the place;
and
in response to the detecting that the current geographic location of the computing device of the user is within the predetermined distance of the entrance geographic location:
causing at least one photographic image of the place to be displayed within the user interface of the computing device;
causing a visual representation of the entrance to be highlighted within the user interface of the computing device;
and
causing an identifying label to be displayed in association with the visual representation of the entrance within the user interface.
