Abstract:
1. A method for touch screen based interaction with traffic data, the method comprising: generating a three-dimensional virtual broadcast presentation by processing a plurality of two-dimensional satellite images, wherein the virtual broadcast presentation includes a soft key and traffic data received from one or more information sources, wherein the traffic data is automatically synchronized to reflect the most current information available; receiving a first signal generated by a touch screen in response to a user touching the soft key; receiving a second signal generated by the touch screen, the second signal based on user manipulation of the touch screen; manipulating a view of the virtual broadcast presentation based on the received first and second signals, wherein the manipulation of the view corresponds to the manipulation of the touch screen and includes rotating or tilting the virtual broadcast presentation; receiving a third signal generated by the touch screen, the third signal based on user interaction with the touch screen, wherein the user interaction includes selection of an interactive element included in the virtual broadcast presentation, and wherein the manipulation of the view caused the interactive element to be selectable by the user; processing the third signal generated by the touch screen; and updating the virtual broadcast presentation in response to the processed third signal.
