Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of map display, and particularly to a route display method, apparatus, and computer program product. Background Art

[0002] Displaying routes on a map is a key function in fields such as geographic information systems and online map services. Users can use the routes displayed on the map as a reference for travel and navigation. With the increasing demand for users to travel, the current solution is to provide travel routes published by other users (such as user A) for users (such as user B) to refer to.

[0003] The inventors found in the process of implementing this application that the travel routes published by other users often cannot be well matched with the actual travel needs of users, which brings a very poor user experience to users and cannot meet the travel needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a route display method, apparatus, and computer program product to facilitate meeting the travel needs of users and improving the user experience.

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "the" and "said" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0030] It should be understood that the term " / and / " used herein is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " herein generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.

[0031] Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when" or "while" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting". Similarly, depending on the context, the phrase "if determined" or "if detected (stated condition or event)" may be interpreted as "when determined" or "in response to determining" or "when detected (stated condition or event)" or "in response to detecting (stated condition or event)".

[0032] With the increase in users' travel demands, more and more users hope to obtain some travel routes for reference, so as to reduce the time spent on travel route planning. At present, there are already some service providers that collect and publish the relevant experiences or solutions of travel routes made by other users and provide them for the public to refer to. However, the relevant experiences or solutions of such user-made travel routes cannot well match the actual needs of users, resulting in poor user experience.

[0033] However, the inventors of the present application found that due to the differences between tourism and ordinary travel needs, the display method of traditional travel routes cannot be directly adopted. Instead, an information interaction technology that better meets tourism needs needs to be provided according to the actual characteristics of tourism needs, so as to help users make more efficient and accurate tourism decisions and improve the user experience.

[0034] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a route display method, which can be applied to a user terminal, such as Figure 1 shown in, this method may include:

[0035] Step 101: Determine multiple tourism routes to be displayed in the map area to be displayed.

[0036] Step 103: Obtain the display modes and display positions corresponding to the multiple tourism routes; a part of the multiple tourism routes are in the route expansion mode, and another part of the tourism routes are in the route thumbnail mode.

[0037] Step 105: Display the multiple tourism routes based on the display modes and display positions.

[0038] It can be seen from the above process that through the route display method provided by the present application, multiple tourism routes in the map area to be displayed can be displayed, and users can view the tourism routes in any map area at any time for tourism reference. Instead of spending a lot of time searching for tourism routes that meet the location requirements from the tourism routes published by users, it can better meet the tourism experience of users. Moreover, in the present application, a part of the multiple tourism routes are in the route expansion mode, and another part of the tourism routes are in the route thumbnail mode, which can exclude the interference of other routes on the routes that users hope to refer to and further improve the user experience.

[0039] As one achievable way, the above multiple tourism routes can be obtained by the user terminal using the map data pre-stored in the local device. For example, the electronic device pre-stores map data, and through route search on the local electronic device, the above multiple tourism routes can be obtained.

[0040] As another achievable way, the above multiple tourism routes can be obtained by the user terminal from the server side. Figure 2 Shows this system architecture, which may include: a server side and a user side running on a user terminal (corresponding to the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application).

[0041] The server side and the user side are two main parts of the application service. Among them, the server side uses the server as the main hardware infrastructure and may include one or more service modules in the form of software. In the embodiment of the present application, it is mainly responsible for processing the service logic of map services and forms the front and back ends that work together with the user side. Among them, the user side can be a client running on the user terminal, a mini program, or a Web application running through a browser, etc.

[0042] The user terminal where the user side is located may include, but is not limited to, such as: intelligent mobile terminals, wearable devices, PCs (Personal Computers), etc. Among them, intelligent mobile devices may include, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), Internet car terminals, etc. Wearable devices may include, such as smart watches, smart glasses, smart bracelets, VR (Virtual Reality) devices, AR (Augmented Reality devices), mixed reality devices (i.e., devices that can support virtual reality and augmented reality), and so on.

[0043] The server can be an independent server, a server group, or a cloud server. A cloud server, also known as a cloud computing server or a cloud host, is a host product in the cloud computing service system to solve the defects of high management difficulty and weak service scalability existing in traditional physical hosts and virtual private server (VPS, Virtual Private Server) services.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the user side can obtain multiple travel routes in the map area to be displayed from the server side, as well as their corresponding display modes and display positions, and then display the above-mentioned multiple travel routes based on the display modes and display positions. For specific details, refer to the relevant records in the subsequent embodiments.

[0045] It should be understood that Figure 2 the numbers of the server side, the user side, and the user terminal are merely illustrative. According to the implementation requirements, there can be any number of server sides, user sides, and user terminals.

[0046] The following will describe in detail each step in the above process and the effects that can be further generated in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the "first", "second", etc. limitations involved in the present disclosure do not have limitations in terms of size, order, quantity, etc., and are only used to distinguish in name. For example, "the first index component" and "the second index component" are only used to distinguish two types of index components in name.

[0047] First, the above-mentioned step 101, that is, "determine multiple travel routes to be displayed in the map area to be displayed", will be described in detail in combination with embodiments.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, some travel routes can be pre-generated and stored in a database, such as a database on the server side, according to the first information of travel-related POIs (Points of Interest) and the preset route requirement information.

[0049] Among them, the above-mentioned route requirement information may include at least one of style characteristics, tour duration requirements, and cost requirements. The first information of travel-related POIs mainly includes the location information of travel-related POIs, such as latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0050] Some style characteristics, tour duration requirements, and cost requirements can be preset. Based on these route requirement information and the first information of travel-related POIs respectively, travel routes that meet these route requirement information can be planned, and these travel routes can be restricted within a certain area range. For example, a batch of route requirement information is constructed in advance for style characteristics such as parent-child play, couple play, niche check-in routes, second-generation routes, Citywalk (city stroll) routes, and historical site characteristics, tour duration requirements such as half-day tour, one-day tour, and two-day tour, cost requirements such as luxury tour and economy tour, and any combination of these. Travel routes are generated respectively based on the constructed route requirement information and the first information of travel-related POIs and stored in the database.

[0051] Among them, a POI (Point of Interest) represents a specific location in a geographic information system. This location may be any place with specific information or attraction, such as a store, a restaurant, a scenic spot, a hospital, etc. It is a term widely used in the fields of geographic information systems, navigation, and location services, referring to a specific location or geographic entity that a user may be interested in. The POIs involved in the embodiments of the present application are travel-related POIs, such as scenic spots, landmark buildings, museums, art galleries, restaurants, cafes, snack streets, theme parks, theaters, resorts, etc.

[0052] In an actual route display scenario, search in the database according to the map area to be displayed, and obtain multiple travel routes located in the map area to be displayed, and send the information of the multiple travel routes to the user terminal. Among them, the locations of the multiple travel routes may completely fall within the range of the map area to be displayed, or partially fall within the range of the map area to be displayed.

[0053] In some areas of the map to be displayed, there may be a large number of tourist routes. Additionally, to avoid showing the same tourist routes to each user and not meeting the user's needs, in the embodiments of the present application, multiple tourist routes to be displayed in the area of the map to be displayed can be further determined based on at least one of the route requirement information and preference information of the account bound to the user terminal.

[0054] Among them, the route requirement information may include at least one of style characteristics, tour duration requirements, and cost requirements. The user can pre-configure the route requirement information through the user terminal as the route requirement information of the account bound to the user terminal, or the user can also input the route requirement information in real time through the user terminal. The preference information may be at least one of the historical behavior information, attribute information, and set preference tags of the account bound to the user terminal. For example, if a large number of ancient building type POIs or tourist routes are included in the historical behavior information of the account, then tourist routes with ancient monument characteristics can be determined for this account. For another example, if the attribute information of the account shows that the user is an elderly person, then leisure tourist routes that do not require too much physical strength can be determined for this account. For yet another example, if the preference tag set for the account is parent-child, then tourist routes suitable for parent-child play can be determined for this account. In this way, more suitable tourist routes for different users can be displayed, realizing personalized tourist route recommendations for each user.

[0055] In addition to the above-mentioned way of pre-generating tourist routes, a way of generating tourist routes in real time can also be adopted. For example, generating tourist routes using the first information of the POIs related to tourism in the area of the map to be displayed. For another example, using the first information of the POIs related to tourism in the area of the map to be displayed, generating multiple tourist routes in the area of the map to be displayed based on at least one of the route requirement information and preference information of the account bound to the user terminal.

[0056] As a first implementable way, the area of the map to be displayed involved in the embodiments of the present application can be a default area, such as the area initially displayed when the user starts the user terminal.

[0057] As a second implementable way, the area of the map to be displayed involved in the embodiments of the present application can be an area determined based on the target location. Among them, the target location may include the location of the user terminal. For example, taking the current location of the user terminal as the center, an area is displayed according to the default scale. The target location may also include at least one of the starting location and the ending location input by the user.

[0058] Other methods can also be used to determine the map area to be displayed. For example, the map area to be displayed involved in this application can be an area determined based on the location searched by the user. In some scenarios, the user may search for a geographical location through the user terminal. For example, the user enters a tourist attraction or a restaurant, etc. Then, alternative routes passing through the searched location or within a preset distance range from the searched location can be searched in the database, and the searched alternative routes are used as tourist routes.

[0059] Figure 3 In (a), multiple tourist routes in the map area to be displayed are shown (i.e., the routes marked in blue, purple, and green in the figure). It should be noted that when the map area to be displayed changes, the matched tourist routes will also change. For example, the current location of the user terminal changes, or the user generates a drag gesture on the current map page, resulting in a change in the map area to be displayed. If the user Figure 3 generates a rightward drag gesture on the map page shown in (a), the map area to be displayed will also move to the right accordingly, as Figure 3 shown in (b). New tourist routes appear in the new area range, such as the route marked in yellow. Figure 3 The change in the area information in (b) compared to (a) is that the area has shifted. In addition, the change in the area information can also be an expansion or contraction of the area range.

[0060] In Figure 3 the scenario shown, it can be seen that multiple tourist routes are not limited to the starting position and the ending position. Users can see multiple tourist routes near the current position or the searched position for reference, and it is very rare that no tourist route can be matched.

[0061] In addition, in the second implementable method described above, if the map area to be displayed is determined based on the location of the user terminal, the multiple tourist routes in the map area to be displayed can include: tourist routes starting from the current position of the user terminal, and other tourist routes in the map area to be displayed.

[0062] Among them, the current position of the user terminal may not be a tourist-related POI. Therefore, tourist routes with the starting point of the route near the current position of the user terminal can be searched in the database, such as tourist routes with the starting point of the route within a preset distance range from the current position of the user terminal; then, the starting point of the searched tourist route is connected to the current position of the user terminal, and this connection can be implemented based on the route planning algorithm. The route obtained after connection is the tourist route to be displayed starting from the current position of the user.

[0063] If the user inputs a starting position and an ending position, the map area to be displayed can be determined based on the starting position and the ending position input by the user. For example, the map area to be displayed includes the starting position and the ending position, and an appropriate area size is selected. In this case, a travel route can be retrieved from the database based on the starting position and the ending position.

[0064] Among them, the starting position and the ending position input by the user can be tourism-related POIs, such as scenic spots, landmark buildings, museums, art galleries, restaurants, cafes, snack streets, theme parks, theaters, resorts, etc. It may also not be a tourism-related POI, such as a location by the roadside, near a store, near a hospital, etc. Therefore, travel routes near the starting position and the ending position can be searched in the database, such as travel routes within a preset distance range from both the starting position and the ending position. Then, the retrieved travel routes are respectively connected to the starting position and the ending position. This connection can be achieved based on a route planning algorithm. The resulting route after connection is the travel route to be displayed. For example Figure 4 As shown in (a) below, finally, 3 travel routes are obtained, which are shown in blue, purple, and yellow respectively. These 3 travel routes all use the starting position input by the user as the starting point of the route and the ending position input by the user as the ending point of the route.

[0065] In this case, among the multiple travel routes in the map area to be displayed, in addition to the routes obtained based on the starting position and the ending position as described above, it also includes other travel routes in the map area to be displayed.

[0066] If the user only inputs the starting position or the ending position, the map area to be displayed can be determined based on the starting position or the ending position input by the user. The multiple travel routes in the map area to be displayed can include: the travel routes obtained based on the starting position or the ending position, and other travel routes in the map area to be displayed.

[0067] When obtaining a travel route based on the starting position, since the starting position input by the user may not be a tourism-related POI, during the search, travel routes near the starting position can be searched in the database, such as travel routes within a preset distance range from the starting position. Then, the retrieved travel routes are connected to the starting position. This connection can be achieved based on a route planning algorithm. The resulting route after connection is the travel route to be displayed.

[0068] When obtaining a travel route based on the end position, by the same token, since the end position input by the user may not be a travel-related POI, when performing a search, travel routes near the end position can be searched in the database, such as travel routes within a preset distance range from the end position. Then, the obtained travel routes are connected to the end position, and this connection can be implemented based on a route planning algorithm. The resulting route after connection is the travel route to be displayed.

[0069] The following describes in detail step 103, i.e., "obtaining the display mode and display position corresponding to multiple travel routes", and step 105, "displaying multiple travel routes based on the display mode and display position", in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, the user terminal can obtain relevant data of the travel route from the server terminal. These relevant data can include the location information of the travel route, and can also include the second information, detailed information, etc. of the travel-related POIs passed by the travel route.

[0071] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, each travel route has a corresponding display mode. Among them, the display mode can include: a route expansion mode and a route thumbnail mode. The information of this display mode can be sent by the server terminal to the user terminal, or can be determined by the user terminal.

[0072] As one achievable way, based on the scoring of the travel route, the travel routes whose scores meet the preset requirements can be configured as the route expansion mode, and the travel routes whose scores do not meet the preset requirements can be configured as the route thumbnail mode. For example, the travel routes ranked among the top several or the travel routes with scores greater than the preset score threshold are configured as the route expansion mode, and the display modes of other travel routes are determined as the route thumbnail mode.

[0073] In addition to this, other achievable ways can also be used to obtain the display modes corresponding to multiple travel routes.

[0074] The scoring of the travel route involved in the embodiments of the present application can be determined according to at least one of the popularity of the travel route, the matching degree between the travel route and the route requirement information and preference information of the account bound to the user terminal.

[0075] Then, based on the display mode and display position, multiple travel routes are displayed. As one achievable way, in the embodiments of the present application, the route expansion mode can further include a first expansion mode and a second expansion mode, that is, the multiple travel routes in the route expansion mode are further distinguished into travel routes in the first expansion mode and travel routes in the second expansion mode.

[0076] Among them, the travel route in the first expansion mode includes the second information of the travel-related POIs passed by the travel route. For example Figure 3 in (a) of Figure 4 in (a) of Figure 5 as shown in (a) of, the blue route is the travel route in the first expansion mode, and the second information of the travel-related POIs passed by the travel route is marked on the travel route. The second information of the travel-related POIs may include but is not limited to: the name, icon, visit duration, passenger flow information, precautions, etc. of the travel-related POIs. These second information of the travel-related POIs are briefly and concisely displayed on the map page, facilitating the user to understand the key information of the POIs, providing a reference for the user to select a travel route, and improving the user experience. The travel route in the second expansion mode can display the location of the travel route, such as Figure 3 the green route and the pink route shown in (a) of, without displaying the second information of the travel-related POIs passed by it.

[0077] Furthermore, a corresponding card component can be displayed for the travel route in the first expansion mode, and the card component is used to display the detailed information corresponding to the travel route in the first expansion mode.

[0078] Among them, the determination method of the travel route in the first expansion mode may include but is not limited to the following two types:

[0079] The first method: Determine the travel route in the first expansion mode according to the scores of each travel route.

[0080] This method is usually applied when initially displaying multiple travel routes in the area to be displayed. The travel route in the first expansion mode can be one or multiple.

[0081] In the previous embodiments, when determining the travel route in the expansion mode, it can be determined according to the score. In this embodiment, when further determining the travel route in the first expansion mode among the travel routes in the expansion mode, more stringent requirements can be adopted. For example, select the top 3 travel routes with the highest scores from multiple travel routes to be configured as the travel routes in the expansion mode, and determine the travel route with the highest score among them as the travel route in the first expansion mode.

[0082] The second method: Respond to the user operation to determine the travel route in the first expansion mode.

[0083] This method may include but is not limited to the following three situations:

[0084] The first situation, in response to the operation of clicking on one of the travel routes displayed on the map page, determine the clicked travel route as the travel route in the first expansion mode. For exampleFigure 5 As shown in (a) to (b) in the figure, the blue tourism route is initially displayed as the tourism route in the first expansion mode. In response to the user's operation of clicking on the pink tourism route in the second expansion mode, it is determined that the clicked tourism route is the tourism route in the first expansion mode.

[0085] In the second case, in response to the first sliding operation generated in the area corresponding to the card component, the card component displayed on the map page is switched, and it is determined that the tourism route corresponding to the currently displayed card component is the tourism route in the first expansion mode. For example Figure 5 As shown in (a) to (b) in the figure, in response to the operation of swiping left generated in the area corresponding to the card component, the card component displayed on the map page is switched from card component 1 to card component 2, and the tourism route in the first expansion mode is also switched to the tourism route corresponding to card component 2. On this basis, the user can also switch back to the previous tourism route in the first expansion mode by swiping right in the area corresponding to the card component. In the embodiments of the present application, the first sliding operation can be a left - right swipe.

[0086] In the third case, there is more than one first index component corresponding to the tourism route displayed on the map page. In response to the operation of clicking on one of the first index components, it is determined that the tourism route corresponding to the clicked first index component is the tourism route in the first expansion mode. For example Figure 5 As shown in (a) to (b) in the figure, in response to the operation of clicking on the first index component 2, it is determined that the tourism route corresponding to the first index component 2 is the tourism route in the first expansion mode. Among them, the information displayed in the first index component can include, but is not limited to: pictures, names, tour durations, evaluation information, etc. of the corresponding tourism route.

[0087] As one of the realizable ways, the tourism route in the first expansion mode and the tourism route in the second expansion mode can be displayed differently on the map page. For example Figure 3 As shown in (a) in the figure, Figure 4 As shown in (a) in the figure, Figure 5 As shown in (a) in the figure, the line of the tourism route in the first expansion mode is thicker than the line of the tourism route in the second expansion mode, the saturation of the line color is higher, and the overall visual effect is more eye - catching and prominent, which is convenient for the user to focus on the tourism route in the first expansion mode and reduces the visual interference of other routes on the user. In order to achieve the visual effect of highlighting the tourism route in the first expansion mode, methods such as but not limited to thickening the line, increasing the saturation of the line color, and adding dynamic effects can be adopted. For example, there are flowing light points on the line of the tourism route in the first expansion mode, or the line of the tourism route in the first expansion mode blinks at a certain rhythm, etc.

[0088] Furthermore, the user can switch a travel route in the route thumbnail mode to the route expansion mode. For example, the travel routes in the route thumbnail mode on the map page respectively correspond to second index components. As shown in Figure 5 (a) in the figure, the second index components 1, 2, and 3 respectively correspond to a travel route in the route thumbnail mode. The function of the second index component is to mark a travel route in the route thumbnail mode and expand the corresponding travel route after being triggered. Specifically, in response to the operation of clicking the second index component, the travel route corresponding to the second index component is switched to the route expansion mode. Among them, the route thumbnail mode means that the travel route is hidden on the map page, and only the second index component corresponding to the travel route can be displayed. The second index component can be, for example, a thumbnail icon. For example, as shown in Figure 5 (a) in the figure, if the user clicks the second index component 2, the red travel route corresponding to the second index component 2 is switched to the route expansion mode, as shown in Figure 5 (c) in the figure. Among them, the route expansion mode means that the travel route is fully displayed on the map page. When the travel route is in the route expansion mode, the corresponding second index component is hidden. It can be seen that in this way, the user can conveniently view the travel routes they are interested in, eliminate unnecessary interference, and thus improve the user experience.

[0089] Furthermore, in response to switching a travel route from the route thumbnail mode to the route expansion mode, the travel route is displayed in the display map area through the route expansion mode; if there is a display conflict between the travel route and other travel routes in the route expansion mode, the other travel routes in the route expansion mode are switched to the route thumbnail mode, so as to ensure that there is no display conflict between the travel routes in the expansion mode. Among them, the display conflict can include, but is not limited to: situations that affect the visual experience such as intersection and mutual coverage.

[0090] As described in the previous embodiments, a corresponding card component can be displayed for the travel route in the first expansion mode. The card component is used to display the detailed information corresponding to the travel route in the first expansion mode. For example, as shown in Figure 3 (a) in the figure, Figure 4 (a) in the figure, Figure 5 (a) in the figure, a card component corresponding to the travel route in the first expansion mode is also displayed on the map page, that is, the card component 1 in the figure. Displaying the detailed information corresponding to the travel route in the first expansion mode on the card component can include, but is not limited to: pictures, names, tour durations, evaluation information, the number of scenic spots, the number of people who have collected this travel route, etc. In the default state, the content on the component card can be displayed in a thumbnail manner.

[0091] In addition, it should be noted that if the travel route in the first expansion mode on the map page is switched, the displayed card component will also be switched accordingly. If the card component on the map page is switched, for example, if the user applies a swipe gesture in the area where the card component is located, causing the card component to be switched, then the travel route corresponding to the switched card component on the map page will be used as the travel route in the first expansion mode.

[0092] Furthermore, if the user hopes that the card component can display more content or show the details more clearly, then a click or a second swipe operation can be applied in the area corresponding to the card component. The user terminal responds to the click operation or the second swipe operation generated in the area corresponding to the card component, and enlarges the display area of the card component. As Figure 4 shown in (a) to (b) below, in response to the click operation or the upward swipe operation generated in the area corresponding to the card component, the display area of the card component is enlarged.

[0093] As one of the achievable ways, in the enlarged display area of the card component, at least one of the atlas corresponding to the travel route in the first expansion mode, the details of the travel-related POIs passed by, the route itinerary, and the evaluation information is displayed. Users can use this information to understand the travel route in the first expansion mode in more detail and assist users in making travel decisions.

[0094] If the user hopes to show the travel route more clearly and exclude the interference of other elements on the travel route, then a third swipe operation can be applied on the card component. The user terminal responds to the third swipe operation generated in the enlarged display area of the card component, and hides the atlas or picture of the card component. As Figure 4 shown in (b) to (c) below, in response to the downward swipe operation generated in the enlarged display area of the card component, Atlas 1 is hidden.

[0095] This flexible display method of the card component enables users to, according to their needs, enlarge the display area of the card component to show more details, or hide the atlas or picture of the card component to reduce the interference with the display of the travel route, improving the user experience.

[0096] In other achievable embodiments, the second swipe operation and the third swipe operation can also be other swipe operations other than upward and downward swipes.

[0097] As one of the achievable ways, when enlarging the display area of the card component, it can include: enlarging the display area of the card component from the initial size to the first size. Assuming that Figure 4 on the map page shown in (a) below, an upward swipe gesture is applied to the display area corresponding to Card Component 1, then it is shown as Figure 6In the interface shown in (a), the card component increases from the initial size to the first size. If the user wants to view more content on the card component, the user can continue to apply a second sliding operation in the display area corresponding to the card component. In response to the second sliding operation generated in the display area of ​​the first size, the user terminal increases the display area of ​​the card component to the second size, which is larger than the first size. Figure 6 As shown in (a) to (b), in response to an upward sliding operation generated in a display area of ​​a first size, the display area of ​​the card assembly is increased to a second size that is larger than the first size.

[0098] In this embodiment, after the display area is increased to the second size, the sliding operation continues upward, the content displayed by the card component moves upward, the content at the top gradually disappears, the other content moves upward as a whole, and new content is displayed at the bottom. Figure 7 As shown in (a), the labels "Route Features", "Detailed Itinerary", and "Comments" appear, and these three labels are attached to the top of the card component and do not change position as the user slides up.

[0099] The user can select one of the tags to display the specific content of the tag in the display area of ​​the card component. Figure 7 As shown in , for example, if the user selects the "Route Features" tag, the characteristic information of the travel route can be displayed, including a detailed introduction of each tourism-related POI, such as opening hours, average cost per person, recommended visiting time, etc. If the user selects the "Specific Itinerary" tag, the recommended itinerary information corresponding to the travel route can be displayed, such as the method of reaching each tourism-related POI, the estimated time, and the route planning component that triggers reaching the tourism-related POI, etc. If the user selects the "Comments" tag, the comment information corresponding to the travel route can be displayed.

[0100] Furthermore, in some cases, after the user views the card component to understand the details of the travel route in the first expansion mode, if the user decides to use the travel route in the first expansion mode as a reference for travel, it is usually desired to quickly view the travel route in the first expansion mode and to exclude interference from other elements to the travel route in the first expansion mode as much as possible. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, a component with the route fixation function enabled can be displayed in the display area of ​​the card component, such as Figure 4 In (b) and (c), Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, words such as "Pin to Home Page" are displayed on the fixed-function component to prompt the function of this component. Other words and / or graphics can also be displayed on the fixed-function component to prompt the function of this component. For example, the displayed words can also be "Fix this route", etc., and the displayed graphics can be a thumbtack graphic, etc.; in response to the operation of triggering the component that enables the route fixing function, the route fixing function is enabled.

[0101] Among them, the route fixing function includes: fixedly displaying the tourist route in the first expansion mode on the map page, and hiding the card component and the tourist route in the second expansion mode. The map page after enabling the route fixing function is as Figure 8 shown in (a) below. The tourist route in the first expansion mode is fixedly displayed on the map page, and the card component and the tourist route in the second expansion mode are hidden. Through the route fixing function, when the user opens the map page, they can see the fixedly displayed tourist route in the first expansion mode. For example, after the user finishes playing at one of the scenic spots and wants to view the relevant information of the next scenic spot, they can open the map page to quickly view the tourist route in the first expansion mode. Moreover, the card component and the tourist route in the second expansion mode are hidden, making the map page more concise. The user can clearly see the tourist route in the first expansion mode displayed on the map page, which is convenient for the user to track the tourist route in the first expansion mode.

[0102] In addition, after enabling the route fixing function, a prompt message indicating that the route fixing function has been enabled can be displayed on the map page. This prompt message can take various forms such as words and icons. For example, Figure 8 as shown in (a) below, it is represented by an icon of a thumbtack.

[0103] Furthermore, after enabling the route fixing function, a component for closing the route fixing function can also be displayed on the map page. As Figure 8 shown in (a) below, the component for closing the route fixing function can be the "×" component near the thumbtack icon. In response to the operation of clicking the component for closing the route fixing function, the route fixing function is closed, as Figure 8 shown from (a) to (b) below.
