Abstract
Systems, devices, methods, and instructions are described for generating and using expressive icons with status indicators for a map based graphical user interface (GUI). One embodiment involves accessing location information, map data icon information, and action indicator information associated with an account of a social media platform. A device then causes generation of a combined action icon generated using the icon information and the action indicator and causes display of a map interface with the map data and the combined action icon positioned at a location indicated by the location information.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- accessing, using one or more processors of a computing device, first location information and first icon information associated with first account of a social media platform and second location information and second icon information associated with a second account of a social media platform, the second location information being proximate to the first location information:
- accessing, by the one or more processors, first map data associated with the first location information and second map data associated with the second location information;
- receiving, from a first client device, first action indicator information associated with the first account;
- receiving, from a second client device, second action indicator information associated with the second account;
- causing generation on the first client device, of a first combined action icon, the first combined action icon generated using the first icon information and the first action indicator information;
- causing generation on the second client device, of a second combined action icon, the second combined action icon generated using the second icon information and the second action indicator information;
- determining that the second account has a higher priority than the first account;
- and
- based on the determination, causing display on a third client device, of a map interface, the map interface comprising the second map data and the second combined action icon positioned at a second location indicated by the second location information.

A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to perform operations comprising:
- accessing, using one or more processors of a computing device, first location information and first icon information associated with first account of a social media platform and second location information and second icon information associated with a second account of a social media platform, the second location information being proximate to the first location information;
- accessing, by the one or more processors, first map data associated with the first location information and second map data associated with the second location information;
- receiving, from a first client device, first action indicator information associated with the first account;
- receiving, from a second client device, second action indicator information associated with the second account;
- causing generation on the first client device, of a first combined action icon, the first combined action icon generated using the first icon information and the first action indicator information;
- causing generation on the second client device, of a second combined action icon, the second combined action icon generated using the second icon information and the second action indicator information;
- determining that the second account has a higher priority than the first account;
- and
- based on the determination, causing display on a third client device, of a map interface, the map interface comprising the second map data and the second combined action icon positioned at a second location indicated by the second location information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- accessing, using one or more processors of a computing device, first location information and first icon information associated with first account of a social media platform and second location information and second icon information associated with a second account of a social media platform, the second location information being proximate to the first location information;
- accessing, by the one or more processors, first map data associated with the first location information and second map data associated with the second location information;
- receiving, from a first client device, first action indicator information associated with the first account;
- receiving, from a second client device, second action indicator information associated with the second account;
- causing generation on the first client device, of a first combined action icon, the first combined action icon generated using the first icon information and the first action indicator information;
- causing generation on the second client device, of a second combined action icon, the second combined action icon generated using the second icon information and the second action indicator information:
- determining that the second account has a higher priority than the first account;
- and
- based on the determination, causing display on a third client device, of a map interface, the map interface comprising the second map data and the second combined action icon positioned at a second location indicated by the second location information.
