Abstract

Some embodiments provide a commute application that provides a first presentation of several stops along a route. The commute application also receives a selection of a stop from the several stops along the route. The commute application further provides a second presentation for displaying several different routes that traverse through the selected stop.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a commute application which when executed by at least one processing unit of a device provides routes and schedules for routes in a transit system, the commute application comprising sets of instructions for:
receiving a selection of a stop on a commute application display; providing a first presentation displaying a plurality of different trips for a plurality of routes that traverse through the stop, wherein each trip of the plurality of trips comprises a different set of scheduled arrival times at which transit vehicles are scheduled to stop at the stop; receiving a selection of a first trip of the plurality of trips, wherein the first trip corresponds to a particular route; transitioning from the first presentation to a second presentation that displays a first set of scheduled arrival times associated with the first trip; receiving an input on the commute application display; and in response to the input, scrolling the second presentation to display a second set of arrival times associated with a second trip.

2 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
identifying one or more routes that include the selected stop; and identifying one or more of the plurality of trips that traverse the one or more routes that include the selected stop.

3 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the second presentation represents a dynamic focus table, and wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
in response to receiving a selection of the stop, providing the dynamic focus table comprising a first portion for displaying a schedule of stops along the route traversing the stop and a second portion for displaying metadata regarding the selected route, wherein the metadata presented in the second portion is automatically updated whenever a different schedule of stops is displayed in the first portion of the dynamic focus table.

4 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the device displays the second presentation on a touch-sensitive display of the device, and wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
receiving a scroll input on the second portion of the dynamic focus table; and automatically modifying, in the first portion, the metadata for the selected route in response to the scroll input.

5 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the scroll input in the second portion is a rightward input, and wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
displaying, in the second presentation, a set of scheduled arrival times associated with a second trip along the selected route that occurs before the first trip.

6 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the scroll input in the second portion is a leftward input, and wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
displaying, in the second presentation, a set of scheduled arrival times associated with a third trip along the selected route that occurs after the first trip.

7 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
displaying a graphical object on the second presentation for transitioning back to the first presentation; receiving a selection of the graphical object; and transitioning from the second presentation back to the first presentation.

8 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
determining that one or more trips in the plurality of trips displayed in the first presentation occurred in the past; and displaying the one or more determined trips in a deemphasized manner.

9 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the commute application further comprises sets of instructions for:
determining that a transit vehicle does not stop at one more stops in the plurality of stops displayed in the second presentation; and displaying the one or more determined stops without any scheduled arrival times.

10 . A method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a commute application, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of a stop on a the commute application GUI; providing a first presentation displaying a plurality of different trips for a plurality of routes that traverse through the stop, wherein each trip of the plurality of trips comprises a different set of scheduled arrival times at which transit vehicles are scheduled to stop at the stop; receiving a selection of a first trip of the plurality of trips, wherein the first trip corresponds to a particular route; and transitioning from the first presentation to a second presentation that displays a set of scheduled arrival times associated with the first trip; receiving an input on the commute application display; and in response to the input, scrolling the second presentation to display a second set of arrival times associated with a second trip.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
identifying one or more routes that include the selected stop; and identifying one or more of the plurality of trips that traverse the one or more routes that include the selected stop.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second presentation represents a dynamic focus table, further comprising:
in response to receiving a selection of the stop, providing the dynamic focus table comprising a first portion for displaying a schedule of stops along the route traversing the stop and a second portion for displaying metadata regarding the selected route, wherein the metadata presented in the second portion is automatically updated whenever a different schedule of stops is displayed in the first portion of the dynamic focus table.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the device displays the second presentation on a touch-sensitive display of the device, further comprising:
receiving a scroll input on the second portion of the dynamic focus table; and automatically modifying, in the first portion, the metadata for the selected route in response to the scroll input.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the scroll input in the second portion is a rightward input, further comprising:
displaying, in the second presentation, a set of scheduled arrival times associated with a second trip along the selected route that occurs before the first trip.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the scroll input in the second portion is a leftward input, further comprising:
displaying, in the second presentation, a set of scheduled arrival times associated with a third trip along the selected route that occurs after the first trip.

16 . An electronic device comprising a non-transitory medium for storing a storing a commute application which, when executed by at least one processing unit of the device, provides routes and schedules for routes in a transit system, the commute application comprising sets of instructions for:
receiving a selection of a stop on a commute application display; providing a first presentation displaying a plurality of different trips for a plurality of routes that traverse through the stop, wherein each trip of the plurality of trips comprises a different set of scheduled arrival times at which transit vehicles are scheduled to stop at the stop
