Abstract
Presenting of real-world situational data on a dynamically updateable user interface is provided for by providing a dynamically updateable user interface that includes dynamic objects having variable characteristics and that correspond to real-world objects, receiving situational data that corresponds to a status of the one or more real-world objects, and conforming the one or more variable characteristics to be consistent with the situational data such that an observer of the one or more dynamic objects is informed of a current status of a corresponding real-world situation.
Claims22
One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of presenting real-world situational data on a system-independent, dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising:
- providing a dynamically updateable user interface that includes one or more dynamic objects that correspond to one or more real-world objects, wherein the dynamic objects are associated with one or more variable characteristics;
- receiving situational data that corresponds to a status of the one or more real-world objects;
- and
- conforming the one or more variable characteristics to be consistent with the situational data such that an observer of the one or more dynamic objects is informed of a current status corresponding to a real-world situation.
A method for presenting real-world situational data on a dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising:
- depicting on a graphical user interface one or more graphical objects that have one or more variable characteristics;
- storing in a repository, object-rendering data that describes how to render the graphical objects;
- receiving from one or more traffic-data gathering components traffic data that describes a status of a real-world, traffic-related situation;
- communicating the traffic data to the one or more graphical objects;
- causing the one or more variable characteristics respectively associated with the one or more graphical objects to graphically indicate the status of the current traffic-related situation;
- and
- without user interaction, periodically determining whether the object-rendering data in the repository has changed from a previous state to subsequent state, and if so, automatically re-depicting the graphical objects consistent with the subsequent state.
One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for facilitating a method for presenting real-world situational data on a dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising:
- creating a dynamically updateable user interface (UI) that includes depictions of dynamic objects that correspond to the attribute-receivable objects and that are associated with one or more variable characteristics;
- receiving situational data;
- and
- conforming the one or more variable characteristics incident to receiving situational data.
A method for presenting traffic-related information, the method comprising:
- gathering a plurality of informational attributes associated with traffic conditions of a geographic area;
- and
- representing the informational attributes on a graphical user interface.
