US 2024/0200965 A1 · DYNAMIC SCALING OF GEOSPATIAL DATA ON MAPS

Abstract

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to display a geographical map overlaid with a marker layer comprising at least one marker; receive input from a user to change a zoom level of the geographical map from a first map scale to a second map scale; display the geographical map at the second map scale; and overlay the marker layer at the second map scale with the at least one marker at a second marker size. The second marker size is determined based on a correlation between the second map scale and the second marker size, in which (i) the second marker size is increased or decreased in the same direction as the second map scale when the second map scale is within a range from a low threshold point to a high threshold point, and (ii) a ratio change between two adjacent marker sizes is smaller than a ratio change between two corresponding adjacent map scales when the second marker size is outside the range from the low threshold point to the high threshold point.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, implemented by a computing system, the method comprising:

displaying a geographical map overlaid with a first marker layer comprising a first marker of a first type, wherein the geographical map, and the first marker layer are presented at a first map scale, the first marker is presented at a first marker size;
in response to a change of a zoom level of the geographical map to a second map scale:
based on whether the second map scale is within a first range from a first low threshold point to a first high threshold point, wherein the first lower threshold point and the first high threshold point correspond to the first marker:
determining whether to change a first size of the first marker based on any of a type of the first marker, a density of the first marker, or a resolution of the geographical map;
and
in response to determining to change the first size of the first marker;
determining a first extent to which the first size of the first marker is to be changed;
and
changing the first size of the first marker by the first extent;
and
overlaying the first marker onto the geographical map, the geographical map being displayed at the second map scale.

displaying a geographical map overlaid with a first marker layer comprising a first marker of a first type, wherein the geographical map, and the first marker layer are presented at a first map scale, the first marker is presented at a first marker size;
in response to a change of a zoom level of the geographical map to a second map scale:
based on whether the second map scale is within a first range from a first low threshold point to a first high threshold point, wherein the first lower threshold point and the first high threshold point correspond to the first marker:
determining whether to change a first size of the first marker based on any of a type of the first marker, a density of the first marker, or a resolution of the geographical map;
and
in response to determining to change the first size of the first marker;
determining a first extent to which the first size of the first marker is to be changed;
and
changing the first size of the first marker by the first extent;
and
overlaying the first marker onto the geographical map, the geographical map being displayed at the second map scale.
