Apparatus, Method and Computer Program for Displaying Points of Interest

Abstract

An apparatus, method, computer program and user interface where the apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, enable the apparatus to: display a perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display; identify a point of interest associated with the geographical location; and display the identified point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 at least one processor; and   at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code;   wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, enable the apparatus to:   display a perspective view which comprises a point of interest at a first scale in a first region of a display; and   simultaneously display a second view which comprises the point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the point of interest is identified as being associated with a geographical location displayed on the display. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 2  wherein identifying the point of interest comprises using a weighting algorithm to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the weighting algorithm uses previous activity by the user of the apparatus to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the apparatus. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the second scale is larger than the first scale. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the point of interest is displayed in a perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display and at a second scale in a second region of the display. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 6  wherein an indicator is displayed to indicate the location of the identified point of interest relative to the perspective view of the geographical location. 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 displaying, by an apparatus, a perspective view which comprises a point of interest at a first scale in a first region of a display; and   simultaneously displaying, by the apparatus, a second view which comprises the point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.   
     
     
         9 . The method as claimed in  claim 8  including identifying the point of interest as being associated with a geographical location displayed on the display. 
     
     
         10 . The method as claimed in  claim 9  including identifying the point of interest by selecting the point of interest from a plurality of available points of interest. 
     
     
         11 . The method as claimed in  claim 9  wherein an indicator is displayed to indicate the location of the identified point of interest relative to a perspective view of the geographical location. 
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 9  wherein identifying the point of interest comprises using a weighting algorithm to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the display. 
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the weighting algorithm uses previous activity by the user of the apparatus to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the display. 
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the identified point of interest is displayed in perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display and at a second scale in a second region of the display. 
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 8  wherein the apparatus displays the second scale larger than the first scale. 
     
     
         16 . A physical entity embodying a computer program comprising program instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of  claim 8 . 
     
     
         17 . An apparatus comprising:
 at least one processor; and   at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code;   wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, enable the apparatus to:   display a perspective view which comprises a geographic feature at a first scale in a first region of a display; and   simultaneously display a second view which comprises the geographic feature at a second scale in a second region of the display.   
     
     
         18 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the geographic feature is identified as being associated with a geographical location. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 17  wherein the geographic feature is identified using previous activity by the user of the apparatus to determine a geographic feature relevant to the user. 
     
     
         20 . Code stored on a non-transitory physical entity, the code comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause an apparatus at least to perform:
 display a perspective view which comprises a point of interest at a first scale in a first region of a display; and   simultaneously display a second view which comprises the point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.
