Abstract: A tiled-map display control with a predictive caching technique that minimizes user wait time and provides at least the illusion of continuous panning, even while map tile images are being loaded. Important components of the tiled map display are its definition and cached use of map tiles, as well as the way that the map tiles are put together on a small screen. Easy, seamless, wait-free and convenient viewing of a map for a user of a wireless device provides information, e.g., mapped traffic conditions. The disclosed embodiments are techniques that have been reduced to practice in both a BREW platform, and then in a J2ME platform, and deployed for operation in major carrier wireless networks. The invention has particular applicability for use in wireless devices with typically smaller display screens requiring the need for panning, and limited bandwidth capabilities of the supporting wireless network.

Abstract translation: 采用预测缓存技术的平铺地图显示控件，即使在加载地图平铺图像时，也可以最大限度地减少用户的等待时间，并至少提供连续平移的错觉。 平铺地图显示的重要组成部分是其定义和缓存地图图块的使用，以及地图图块在小屏幕上的组合方式。 用于无线设备的用户的地图的简单，无缝，等待和方便的观看提供信息，例如映射的交通状况。 所公开的实施例是已经减少到BREW平台中然后在J2ME平台中实践并且被部署用于在主载波无线网络中操作的技术。 本发明特别适用于具有通常较小的显示屏幕的无线设备，这些显示屏幕需要平移以及支持无线网络的有限带宽能力。

Abstract: As part of a handset finder service, a customer will download and install a small application, e.g., handset finder application, onto their wireless device. The first time this handset finder application runs, it registers to receive battery notification events from the device (or if not available, another type of wake-up event, like a timer or SMS wake-up). These events wake-up the application, which will determine whether a "low power" threshold has been reached. When this occurs, the application initiates a location query. The application will submit a determined location to a handset finder server.
