Abstract
In one embodiment, a mobile device or a server updates search results on a three dimensional map. The three dimensional map may include outlines of buildings. A first partial search query is received and a map database is queried based on the first partial search query. A set of map results are output or displayed based on the first partial search query. A second partial search query is received that includes the first partial search query. The set of map results is narrowed or filtered and a subset of the set of map results is output or displayed.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving a first partial search query;
- querying a map database with the first partial search query;
- outputting a first set of map results from the map database;
- receiving a second partial search query, wherein the second partial search query includes the first partial search query and one or more additional limiting criteria;
- narrowing the first set of map results with the second partial search query;
- and
- outputting a second set of map results from the map database, wherein the second set of map results is a subset of the first set of map results.
An apparatus comprising:
- a map database configured to store map data;
- and
- a controller configured to query the map database with a search query for graphical search results and configured to filter the graphical search results with an additional limiting factor for the search query,
- wherein the graphical search results and filtered graphical search results are shown on a three dimensional building model.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed are operable to:
- query a map database with the first partial search query;
- receive a first set of map results from the map database;
- output the first set of map results to a three dimensional building model;
- query the map database with a second partial search query, wherein the second partial search query includes the first partial search query and one or more additional characters or limiting factors;
- receive a second set of map results from the map database;
- and
- output the second set of map results to the three dimensional building model.
