Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a navigation application that presents road signs during a navigation presentation. In presenting the road signs, the application of some embodiments differentiates the appearance of road signs at junctions that require a change of direction from road signs at junctions that do not require a change of direction. The application may perform processes that ensure that it arranges the road signs on the map in an aesthetically pleasing manner. In addition, the navigation application of some embodiments does not display too many road signs along the navigated route so that the route is not by occluded by too many road signs.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a cross application framework that supports a number of different applications and/or services to aggregate data relating to people, locations, and entities. The framework of some embodiments aggregates, from various data sources, different types of data, such as multimedia, communications, social media data, and location data. Once the data is aggregated, the framework provides the data to each requesting application. When an application is used to search for a person, the framework may provide the application with the person's emails, text messages, videos, photos, and social network activities.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that includes a novel dynamic scale that can be used to perform different zoom operations. In some embodiments, the scale also serves as a distance measurement indicator for a corresponding zoom level. The application continuously adjusts several different attributes of the scale, including the scale size, the number of segments on the scale and the representative distance of a segment on the scale. In some embodiments, the mapping application provides a smart zoom feature that guides a user during a zoom to a location. In particular, the smart zoom detects that a location of a zoom is near a pin on the map, and if so, zooms to the pin on the map. Otherwise, if the location is near a cloud of pins, the application zooms to the cloud of pins. Otherwise the zoom is directed towards the user's selected location.

Abstract translation: 一些实施例提供了包括可用于执行不同缩放操作的新型动态缩放的映射应用。 在一些实施例中，刻度还用作相应缩放级别的距离测量指示器。 应用程序连续调整比例尺的几个不同属性，包括刻度尺，刻度上的段数和刻度上段的代表距离。 在一些实施例中，映射应用提供在缩放期间将用户引导到位置的智能缩放特征。 特别地，智能变焦检测到变焦的位置靠近地图上的针脚，如果是，则放大到地图上的针脚。 否则，如果位置靠近云端的引脚，应用程序会放大到引脚云端。 否则，缩放指向用户的所选位置。

Abstract: For a device that runs a mapping application, a method for providing maneuver indicators along a route of a map. The maneuver indicators are arrows that identify the direction and orientation of a maneuver. A maneuver arrow may be selected and displayed differently from unselected maneuver arrows. Maneuver arrows may be selected automatically based on a user's current location. The mapping application transitions between maneuver arrows and provides an animation for the transition. Complex maneuvers may be indicated by multiple arrows, providing a more detailed guidance for a user of the mapping application.

Abstract: This is directed to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for printing maps and directions. In response to receiving an instruction to print directions, a device can define a layout optimized to show the route to travel, along with distinct steps that correspond to the route. The layout can include a map overview showing the entire route, with callouts identifying each step on the route. The layout can also include listings of individual steps, where each listing includes a reference number referring back to a callout and a description of the step. Each listings can also include a map tile showing a detailed view of the step corresponding to the listing. The map overview and the listings can be disposed, for example, in different columns of a landscape view.

Abstract: A mobile device including a touchscreen display presents an image of a three-dimensional object. The display can concurrently present a user interface element that can be in the form of a virtual button. While the device's user touches and maintains fingertip contact with the virtual button via the touchscreen, the mobile device can operate in a special mode in which physical tilting of the mobile device about physical spatial axes causes the mobile device to adjust the presentation of the image of the three-dimensional object on the display, causing the object to be rendered from different viewpoints in the virtual space that the object virtually occupies. The mobile device can detect such physical tilting based on feedback from a gyroscope and accelerometer contained within the device.

Abstract: A device with a touch-sensitive display may be unlocked via gestures performed on the touch-sensitive display. The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device. The device displays one or more unlock images with respect to which the predefined gesture is to be performed in order to unlock the device. The performance of the predefined gesture with respect to the unlock image may include moving the unlock image to a predefined location and/or moving the unlock image along a predefined path. The device may also display visual cues of the predefined gesture on the touch screen to remind a user of the gesture.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to intelligent interruption handling by digital assistants are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first information provision process is initiated in response to a first speech input. The first information provision process comprises preparing a first response and a second response to the first speech input. After or concurrent with the provision of the first response to the user, but before provision of the second response to the user, an event operable to initiate a second information provision process is detected. The second information provision process is initiated in response to detecting the event. The second information provision process comprises preparing a third response to the event. A relative urgency between the second response and the third response is determined. One of the second response and the third response is provided to the user in an order based on the determined relative urgency.
