Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a message display module 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. The information processing apparatus may also include a map display module that displays a map including the location of interest, wherein the message displaying module displays the message in such a manner as to be superimposed on the map.
Claims10
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 including the location of interest and information indicative of an expected occurrence of the predetermined event on the screen;
- and
- responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, display a moved map such that the initial location of interest and the location of interest are included.
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 including the location of interest and information indicative of an expected occurrence of the predetermined event on the screen;
- and
- responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, display a moved map such that the initial location of interest and the location of interest are included.
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, the map including the location of interest and information indicative of an expected occurrence of the predetermined event on the screen;
- and
- responsive to a user operation on the map via the screen, displaying a moved map such that the initial location of interest and the location of interest are included.
