    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a map application with novel map exploration tools. In some embodiments, the map application executes on a mobile device (e.g., a handheld smartphone, a tablet, etc.) with a touch sensitive screen. The map application of some embodiments has a first display area to display a map of a region, and second and third display areas to display information about items displayed on the map in the first display area. In some embodiments, the second display area slides over the first display area to overlap at least a portion of the first display area. After the second display area slides over the first display area, the third display area in some embodiments slides over the first display area to overlap at least a portion of the first display area. In some embodiments, the second and third display areas slide over the first display area from one side of the first display area. This side is the bottom of the first display area in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the bottom side is expected to be closer to a position for resting the mobile device in a hand of a user than a top side of the first display area. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the second and third display areas slide up from the bottom side of the first display area so that information and/or controls that are provided in these display areas are more accessible for one handed operations (e.g., thumb-based touch operations) of the user as the user hold and interacts with the device with one hand.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a region-based method for sharing photos between devices. The method establishes an image-sharing event for a particular region, which in some embodiments is defined in terms of one or more geographic attributes (e.g., a latitude, a longitude, and one or more shape attributes that define a shape about the intersection of the latitude and the longitude). The method then allows devices that enter the particular region to join the image-sharing event, so that (1) the devices can capture and add photos for the event, and (2) they can view and save photos captured by other devices that joined the event. To facilitate the sharing of the photos, the method of some embodiments makes the photos that are captured for the event available for viewing for a period of time after the event has ended. This extra time provides the event participants more time to view and save photos captured for the event.

    Abstract translation: 一些实施例提供了一种用于在设备之间共享照片的基于区域的方法。 该方法为特定区域建立图像共享事件,其在一些实施例中根据一个或多个地理属性(例如,纬度,经度和一个或多个形状属性来定义关于交点的形状 纬度和经度)。 然后,该方法允许进入特定区域的设备加入图像共享事件,使得(1)设备可以捕获和添加事件的照片,以及(2)他们可以查看和保存由其他设备捕获的照片 事件。 为了便于共享照片,一些实施例的方法使得在事件结束之后的一段时间内捕获的用于可用于观看的事件的照片。 这个额外的时间为活动参加者提供了更多时间查看和保存为活动拍摄的照片。
