Problems solved by technology

Due to limited memory capacity, users tend to forget the results of previous searches and have to repeat the same search
In addition, it is difficult for users to connect the results of previous searches with the results of subsequent searches
These issues reduce efficiency and productivity
Additionally, existing methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.

[0037] It is also to be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first contact could be termed a second contact, and, similarly, a second contact could be termed a first contact, without depa...

Abstract

A method includes: displaying a map, a first field configured to receive a first query input, and a second field configured to receive a second query input; receiving the first query input in the first field; receiving the second query input in the second field; initiating a search that uses the first query input and a search that uses the second query input; concurrently displaying on the map a first plurality of search results for the first query input and a second plurality of search results for the second query input; detecting selection of a first search result in the first plurality of search results; detecting selection of a second search result in the second plurality of search results; and displaying a route on the map from the first search result to the second search result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to electronic devices having displays, including but not limited to electronic devices having displays showing directions on a map. Background technique [0002] The use of electronic computing devices to provide directions has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary electronic computing devices that provide directions include navigation systems (eg, a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation system). This device is widely used to indicate directions on maps. [0003] Existing methods of combining search results with directions on maps are cumbersome and inefficient. For example, for a user to perform a first search for an origin, identify the origin in the first set of search results, perform a second search for an end point, identify the end point in the second set of search results, and then Entering the identified start point and the identified end point in to determine the route between the i...
