| 20090244100 | Gradually changing perspective map - Display of digital maps with gradually changing perspective is provided. A perspective engine selects from among possible foreshortening ratios depending on the selected map scale. In one embodiment, the perspective engine uses a fixed perspective view corresponding to each of a fixed set of scales. In alternative embodiments, there is a continuum of scales, and parameters are specified as functions of the scale, rather than as fixed values. In general, at smaller scales—that is, more zoomed-out—the displayed perspective appears to be more flat, as though looking straight down at the map. At larger scales—more zoomed-in—the map is displayed with increasing perspective. In some embodiments, once a threshold scale is reached, continuing to zoom in does not additionally increase the perspective; similarly, once a threshold zoomed-out scale is reached, the map continues to be displayed in a two-dimensional flat appearance. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20160078593 | UNIVERSAL DIGITAL CONTENT ZOOMING TECHNIQUES - Techniques are disclosed for digital content zooming. In one example case, the hypotenuse of the digital content (or a combination of both height and width values of the content) is initially set to provide the 100% zoom level and is subsequently used to resize or zoom that content. In particular, an arbitrary constant that is independent of the content itself is used to define the initial or 100% zoom level at which the content is initially displayed. The arbitrary constant may be, for example, a hypotenuse size in pixels, or a specific combination of height and width in pixels. In one specific example, the arbitrary constant can be selected based on, for instance, an average of current physical screen and/or virtual viewing window resolutions' hypotenuse sizes, in pixels. In any case, the arbitrary constant can be used to set the initial size of the content, and to compute zoom steps. | 03-17-2016 |
