Abstract:
1. A method for locating network resources, comprising: defining a sequential set of (n) distance ranges, a first of the distance ranges including a smallest considered distance and the (nth) distance range including a largest considered distance; associating each distance range with a different subset of location tags of a plurality of location tags; determining a distance between a client device and each of a plurality of network resources; for each of the network resources, selecting a subset of the plurality of location tags for that network resource according to the distance between the client device and that network resource, wherein selecting comprises, for each network resource, identifying the distance range in which the determined distance between that network resource and the client device falls and selecting the subset of location tags associated with the identified distance range; for each of the network resources, causing a display by the client device, of values for the subset of location tags selected for that network resource; and wherein the display is a single display that identifies each of the plurality of network resources along with the values for the subset of location tags selected for each of the plurality of network resources, the values for a first one of the network resources being more geographically coarse than the values for a second one of the plurality of network resources.
