Abstract
An information processing apparatus 1 includes a message display module 142 which, when a predetermined event is predicted to occur at a set location of interest, displays a message indicating occurrence of the predetermined event and the time until the occurrence of the predetermined event. The location of interest may be set to a current position of the information processing apparatus 1. The information processing apparatus 1 may also include a map display module 141 that displays a map including the location of interest, wherein the message displaying module 142 displays the message in such a manner as to be superimposed on the map.
Claims13
An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- set an initial location of interest to a current position of a user and display a map on a screen, the map displaying the initial location of interest at a central position;
- when a predetermined event is expected to occur at a location of interest, display the map on the screen, the map including the location of interest and a message, the message indicating an expected occurrence of the predetermined event and a length of time until the expected occurrence of the predetermined event;
- and
- responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, display a moved map including the initial location of interest, the location of interest, and the message displayed at the same time.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to:
- set an initial location of interest to a current position of a user and display a map on a screen, the map displaying the initial location of interest at a central position;
- when a predetermined event is expected to occur at a location of interest, display the map on the screen, the map including the location of interest and a message, the message indicating an expected occurrence of the predetermined event and a length of time until the expected occurrence of the predetermined event;
- and
- responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, display a moved map including the initial location of interest, the location of interest, and the message displayed at the same time.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media configured to store computer program code;
- and
- one or more computer processors configured to access the computer program code and operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code comprising:
- setting code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to set an initial location of interest to a current position of a user and display a map on a screen, the map displaying the initial location of interest at a central position;
- first displaying code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to display, when a predetermined event is expected to occur at a location of interest, the map on the screen, the map including the location of interest and a message, the message indicating an expected occurrence of the predetermined event and a length of time until the expected occurrence of the predetermined event;
- and
- second displaying code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to display, responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, a moved map including the initial location of interest, the location of interest, and the message displayed at the same time.
A method for displaying event information, the method being executed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
- setting an initial location of interest to a current position of a user and display a map on a screen, the map displaying the initial location of interest at a central position;
- when a predetermined event is expected to occur at a location of interest, displaying the map on the screen, the map including the location of interest and a message, the message indicating an expected occurrence of the predetermined event and a length of time until the expected occurrence of the predetermined event;
- and
- responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, displaying a moved map including the initial location of interest, the location of interest, and the message displayed at the same time.
