On fig.4 a screen shot of the display 403 device or user interface in accordance with the present invention. Shows the map of 409 town of Roskilde (Roskilde). Location 408 noted using the graphical object 410. In this embodiment, the location 408 noted arrow on the graphics object 410, indicating the location of 408 on the map 409.

Graphical object 410 has a visual presentation 411, which in this embodiment is a photo associated with that location. Nature of this relationship may vary and depends on various applications. An example of a connection can be pictures taken at the point with the coordinates. Pictures that are identified with this location, for example pictures of the premises, connected with the location of the premises, or, alternatively, a photo can be associated with the address of this person.

In one of the embodiments of the invention visual representation 411 indicates the nature of the relationship with marked locations or to the marked location, for example, if a visual representation 411 is a photo of the mentioned location.

In this embodiment, a graphical object 410 is a numeric index 412, which is observer number. This number shows how many objects 410 associated with the given location and merged into one graphical object 410. In this embodiment, in one graphical object 410 combined 13 graphics. Graphics, United in the displayed graphic or graphical group object 410 not need to be associated with one and the same location, and can be linked to other locations near the marked location 408. These locations can be so close that if related graphics objects are displayed separately, they would overlap, which would make the image unintelligible to the user. Instead controller (not shown on the drawing) is configured to determine whether two objects 410 overlap, as they appear on the display 403, and if so, the two objects are combined or grouped in one graphic object 410. This third graphical object then connect with any of the locations mentioned graphical objects or locations, located between the two mentioned locations.

On fig.4b presented to the other screen shot of the display 403 device or user interface in accordance with the present invention. In the screenshot image scale maps 408 been increased for a more detailed view of the area. When you display the zoomed image maps 409 controller is configured to determine whether graphical objects overlap each other or not, in this embodiment, a graphical object 410, which when displayed, shown in fig.4, contained 13 other graphic objects, in this case, divided into 4 graphic object 410, 410b, 410 and 410d, each of which consists of 1, 6, 4 and 2 graphic objects respectively.

If the user will reduce the scale of the image that is displayed on fig.4b, the display will return to the screenshot shown on the fig.4, the graphical objects 410, 410b, 410 and 410d to be re-defined as overlapping and will be consolidated in the group graphic 410.

In one of the embodiments of the invention, the controller detects the overlap whether two objects, by calculating whether overlap visual representations 411 two graphical objects 410 displayed on the display 403. In one of the embodiments of the invention two visual representation 411 considered to be overlapping in case, when they don't overlap, but will be displayed so close, that will be perceived by the user unclear.

In one of the embodiments of the invention two objects 410 considered to be overlapping, if they are close to each other and the display cover large maps 409, so in this case the user is not able to see the map 409.

In one of the embodiments of the invention at least some of the graphics objects 412 represent the image associated with the same location.

On fig.4 presented another screenshot of the display 403 device or user interface in accordance with the present invention. In the screenshot graphical object 410 selected by the user, perhaps with the help of touching a computer pen, if the display 403 is a touch screen, or by placing the cursor over it and click of a button. In this embodiment, above the graphic 410 or instead of it, a popup window appears 413. Pop-up window shows at least some of the visual representations 411 graphic object 410. One view 414 of the mentioned visual representations 411 or images in this embodiment, shown larger than others displayed in the list box 415. The user can easily scroll backward and forward through the linked images and to review the pop-up window 413. In one of the embodiments of the invention image may open in full-sized view with the single or double-click on it or touching it with the stylus, which leads to the launching of the viewer or image editing.

In one of the embodiments of the invention may be scrolling graphics 410 by the acceptance of the controller user input, staff to scroll example, by pressing the arrow keys or the scroll buttons, or by clicking a button or touching the designated area of graphic objects 410.

In one of the embodiments of the invention, all graphics are pictures associated with the locations where they were taken. Visual representations are icons of photographs. Photos taken in locations close to each other, unite depending on the degree of zoom. If the user increases the image scale, the Union of graphic objects are shared, and if the user zoom the image, graphics combine.

In one of the embodiments of the invention visual representations always have the same size, that provides a uniform and less confusing UI look.

Figure 5 shows a block diagram of the algorithm method according to the present invention. Way to carry out with the help of the controller when you want to display the map.

Controller retrieves the step 510 neighbouring or second graphic object in relation to the first graphical object. In one of the embodiments of the invention graphical objects stored in memory structure in accordance with related locations that simplifies the definition of neighboring graphics. In step 520 determine whether to display the graphic to the overlap of these two graphical objects. If so, step 530 create the third graphic. Then, in step 540, the controller checks whether neighboring graphical objects compared to above-mentioned third graphic object. If not, step 550 third graphical object reflect on the display. If there are nearby graphics controller returns to step 510. After the graphics display controller goes to the next graphic object in step 560 until all the graphics will not analyzed and either displayed or merged with a second graphic object in the third graphic.

It should be understood that graphical objects, including the United graphical objects do not need to create anew each map display. They can be stored, if it is determined that the United graphical objects still overlap.

Also, if two objects, each of which contains consolidated graphic objects, it is necessary to unite in one graphic object, these two objects may be deleted, and the relevant United graphical objects can be combined in a single graphical object.

To further illustrate the fig.6 shows the three objects that overlap each other. From the graphic object 610s, marked as "1", the controller (not shown on the drawing) determines that it overlaps a graphic object 610b marked as "2". Hence, create a new graphic object 620 marked as "1+2", which includes the first and second graphic objects 610s and 610b, as seen on fig.6b. Then, the controller detects, blocks if new graphical object 620 marked as "1+2", other graphic object, and because it overlaps a graphic object 610 labeled "3", create a new graphic object 630 marked as "1+2+3", which includes graphical objects and 610 620 and thus includes all three graphics object 610s, 610b and 610, as seen on fig.6. Because of the overlapping of graphic objects are no more, the third graphic object 630 display on the screen (not shown).

On fig.6d shows another situation in which all three graphic objects overlap. From the graphic object 610s, marked as "1", the controller (not shown) determines that it overlaps a graphic object 610b marked as "2". Hence, create a new graphic object 620 marked as "1+2", which includes the first and second graphic objects 610s and 610b, as shown in fig.6. Then, the controller detects, blocks if new graphical object 620 marked as "1+2", other graphic object, and because it does not cover any other graphic, graphics 620 and 610 display on the screen (not shown).

Machine-readable media, including at least a computer code for device management, including the display (203) and the processor (300), referred to a machine-readable media includes code to determine whether the graphic objects (410, 410, 410b, 410, 410d, 610s, 610b), including images, define many different locations when map (409) with the first level of zoom, overlap when the card (409) is displayed with the second level scaling, different from the first level scaling, initiation of the Association at least some of the graphic objects (410, 410, 410b, 410c, 410d, 610s, 610b), which stipulates that they overlap in a location when the second level scaling, to create another graphic object (410, 620), which is mentioned at least some United graphical objects, and initiate the display of the other graphic object (410) in the mentioned location, allows a user to view, at the second level scaling, at least some of these images, specify many locations through the mentioned joint graphic object.

21. The machine-readable carrier under item 20, which includes code to change the second-level scaling on the third level of zoom that provides greater magnification than the second zoom level, and the initiation of the separation of the other graphic object on a lot of second and other graphic objects that do not overlap with each other or with other graphics in the third of the zoom level.

22. The machine-readable carrier under item 20, which includes code to determine whether close graphical object (410, 410, 410b, 410, 410d, 610a, 610b) and other graphic object (410, 410a, 410b, 410, 410d, 610a, 610b) pre-specified portion of the card when the card with the second level, scaling, and initiating associations for at least some of the graphic objects that have been defined, they cover a predefined part of the map, in the mentioned other graphic object, in fact the United graphical objects include graphical objects, including images, which overlap when they are displayed when the map displays with the second level, scaling, and graphical objects, including images, that will close the predetermined part of the map and will not overlap, when the map is displayed with the second level of zoom.

23. The machine-readable carrier under item 20, which includes code to determine whether the first graphical object (610a) overlap the second graphic object (610b), if it is determined that the first graphical object (610a) will override the second graphic object (610b), the controller (300) also configured to initiate the unification of the first graphical object (610a) and the second graphic object (610b) to create another graphic object (620) and determine whether the other graphic object (620) overlap the third graphic object (610), must be displayed.
