Abstract

Method of generating personalized map interfaces with enhanced icons starts with a processor receiving from a first client device location information including location of first client device. Processor causes map interface to be displayed on first client device that includes a first avatar at a location on the map interface based on the location information and an icon corresponding to an establishment. The processor causes the icon to change to an enhanced icon in response to receiving a first selection from the first client device that indicates a request to save the establishment in a database associated with the first user or determining that the establishment is saved in a database associated with a second user that is associated with the first user. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claims (45)

1. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform operations comprising:

receiving from a first client device a location information including a location of the first client device, wherein a first user is associated with the first client device;

causing a two-dimensional map interface to be displayed on the first client device, the map interface including an avatar of the first user at a location on the map display based on the location information and an icon associated with an establishment; and

in response to receiving a request from the first client device to save the establishment in a database associated with the first user or in response to determining that the establishment is saved in a database associated with a second user that is a connection of the first user,

automatically causing the icon associated with the establishment and displayed in the map interface to be animated.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the database associated with the first user includes a list of favorite establishments, wherein the favorite establishments include establishments that have been previously saved by the first user.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the favorite establishments include establishments that have been previously saved by the second user.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system to perform operations further comprising:

causing an establishment detail interface on the establishment to be displayed on the first client device, wherein the establishment detail interface includes a name of the establishment and a selectable image.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the system to perform operations further comprising:

causing the selectable image to change to indicate that the establishment is saved to the database.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system to perform operations further comprising:

causing an establishment detail interface on the establishment to be displayed on the first client device, wherein the establishment detail interface includes a message indicating that the establishment is recommended to the first user or that the establishment is saved by the second user.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the establishment detail interface includes a name of the establishment and a selectable image that indicates that the establishment is saved to the database.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system to perform operations further comprising:

causing the icon that is animated to change in appearance to become a larger, more detailed version of the icon that is associated with the establishment.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system to perform operations further comprising:

causing the icon that is animated to change in appearance from being a two-dimensional icon to a three-dimensional enhanced establishment icon displayed in the map interface.

10. A method comprising:

receiving from a first client device a location information including a location of the first client device, wherein a first user is associated with the first client device;

causing a two-dimensional map interface to be displayed on the first client device, the map interface including an avatar of the first user at a location on the map display based on the location information and an icon associated with an establishment; and

in response to receiving a first selection from the first client device that indicates a request to save the establishment in a database associated with the first user or in response to determining that the establishment is saved in a database associated with a second user that is a connection of the first user,

automatically causing the icon associated with the establishment and displayed in the map interface to be animated.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the database associated with the first user includes a list of favorite establishments, wherein the favorite establishments include establishments that have been previously saved by the first user.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the favorite establishments include establishments that have been previously saved by the second user.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

causing the list of favorite establishments to be displayed on the first client device.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

causing an establishment detail interface on the establishment to be displayed on the first client device, wherein the establishment detail interface includes a name of the establishment and a selectable image.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

causing the selectable image to change to indicate that the establishment is saved to the database.

16. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

causing an establishment detail interface on the establishment to be displayed on the first client device, wherein the establishment detail interface includes a message indicating that the establishment is recommended to the first user or that the establishment is saved by the second user.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the establishment detail interface includes a name of the establishment and a selectable image that indicates that the establishment is saved to the database.

18. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

causing the icon that is animated to change in appearance to become a larger, more detailed version of the icon that is associated with the establishment.

19. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

causing the icon that is animated to change in appearance from being a two-dimensional icon to a three-dimensional enhanced establishment icon displayed in the map interface.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, instructions when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving from a first client device a location information including a location of the first client device, wherein a first user is associated with the first client device;

causing a two-dimensional map interface to be displayed on the first client device, the map interface including an avatar of the first user at a location on the map display based on the location information and an icon associated with an establishment; and

in response to receiving a request from the first client device to save the establishment in a database associated with the first user or in response to determining that the establishment is saved in a database associated with a second user that is a connection of the first user,

automatically causing the icon associated with the establishment and displayed in the map interface to be animated.
