Abstract
A method for rendering a user interface, the method including providing a digital map, the digital map comprising a first area surrounding at least partly a target area, defining a point of rotation on digital map, providing locator co-ordinates in respect to digital map, rendering, on user interface, provided locator co-ordinates within first area of digital map and rotating, about point of rotation, digital map to align target area in a predetermined direction (r) with respect to user interface. Disclosed also is a computing device for rendering a user interface on a display thereof.
Claims14
A method for rendering a user interface, the method comprising:
- providing a digital map, the digital map comprising a first area surrounding at least partly a target area;
- defining a point of rotation on the digital map;
- providing locator co-ordinates in respect to the digital map;
- rendering, on the user interface, the provided locator co-ordinates within the first area of the digital map;
- and
- rotating, about the point of rotation, the digital map to align the target area in a predetermined direction (r) with respect to the user interface, wherein a speed of the rotation is inversely proportional to a distance of a locator object from the point of rotation.
A computing device for rendering a user interface, the computing device comprising:
- a display for rendering the user interface;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- provide a digital map, the digital map comprising a first area surrounding at least partly a target area;
- define a point of rotation on the digital map;
- provide locator co-ordinates in respect to the digital map;
- render, on the user interface, the provided locator co-ordinates within the first area of the digital map;
- and
- rotate, about the point of rotation, the digital map to align the target area in a predetermined direction (r) with respect to the user interface, wherein a speed of the rotation is inversely proportional to a distance of a locator object from the point of rotation.
