  • Patent number: 9619489
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for augmenting a view of a physical space of one or more geographically definable locations (“geo-locations”) with social media and/or other content originating from the one or more geo-locations. Generally speaking, the system may include a computing device having one or more processors programmed to augment (e.g., add to, overlay, embed, etc.) the view of the physical space of a geo-location with social media content, thereby allowing a user to view a physical space at a geo-location along with social media content that was created from the geo-location.

  • Publication number: 20170064017
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a geofeed based on one or more geofeed parameters including altitude parameters, ambient condition parameters, and orientation parameters is provided. A geofeed includes a collection of content, aggregated from various content providers, that is relevant to one or more geographically definable locations. The generated content may include, for example, video, audio, images, text, hyperlinks, and/or other content that may be relevant to a geographically definable location. The content providers may include, for example, social media platforms, online knowledge databases, individual content creators, and/or other providers that can distribute content that may be relevant to a geographically definable location. The system may filter content into the geofeed and/or out of the geofeed based on one or more geofeed parameters and/or display the geofeed comprising the filtered content.

  • Publication number: 20170046355
    Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods of identifying social media influencers and providing location-based alerts based on social media content items posted to social media providers from monitored locations. The system may identify a user who visited a specified location based on a social media content item posted by the user from the specified location. The system may provide an alert to an entity such as a retailer whenever the user re-posts from the specified location. The system may further determine whether, to what extent, and identity of users over whom the user has influence based on one or more influence factors. An influencer is a user who is determined to have influenced the behavior of other users, as determined from the user's social media activity and/or the influenced users' social media activity.

  • Publication number: 20170041365
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods of burning, snapshotting, streaming and curating geofeeds, each geofeed including a plurality of geofeed content items that are aggregated from a plurality of content providers using respective requests formatted specifically for individual ones of the plurality of content providers, where each individual set of a plurality of content is relevant to one or more geographically definable locations. Archives of a geofeed may be generated by burning portions or all of the geofeed content items and/or generating snapshots of geofeeds at different times. A real-time geofeed may be streamed by continuously or periodically obtaining newly available geofeed content items and updated a geofeed stream in real-time. Collections of geofeed content items may be curated in order to organize and follow geofeed content items of interest.

  • Publication number: 20160357783
    Abstract: A system and method for managing geotag data associated with content within a geofeed is provided. The content may be tagged with metadata such as geotag data that may specify a location where the content was created. The generated content may be geotagged by one or more geotag sources including a GPS-enabled device, a user input, a content provider, a user profile, or other sources. The system may determine the geotag data for the content that is not already associated with geotag data. The system may determine a confidence level of the geotag data, whether already geotagged or not. The confidence level may be indicative of a likelihood that the geotag data accurately describes a location where the content was actually created.

  • Publication number: 20160359868
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for targeted messaging, workflow management, and digital rights management for geofeeds, including content that is related to geographically definable locations and aggregated from a plurality of social media or other content providers. The system may facilitate targeted messaging to users who create content. The targeted messaging may be based on the content (or location related to the content) such as a request for additional information or a promotional message. The system may generate workflows that allow management of the content with respect to operational processes of an entity that wishes to use the content and facilitates the management of usage rights related to the content as well as payments related to such usage rights. For example, the system may store whether content requires permission to use the content and/or whether such permission was obtained and facilitates payment.

  • Publication number: 20160283561
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring multiple locations based on hierarchical or arbitrary groupings of geofeeds. A geofeed may include content that is aggregated from a plurality of content providers using respective requests formatted specifically for individual ones of the plurality of content providers, where an individual set of a plurality of content is relevant to one or more geo-locations. The system facilitates robust organization, including hierarchical and arbitrary groupings, and analytics applied to the geofeeds. The groupings may be used in a wide range of applications such as location monitoring that allows organizations to manage multiple locations as individual geofeeds and group geofeeds for higher-level monitoring. The system facilitates security settings and rolled up reporting based on permission levels and/or groups of geofeeds, and provides tools to allow management of content that is made available by the system.

  • Publication number: 20160219403
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing a location input that specifies one or more geographically definable locations for input to individual ones of a plurality of social media or other content providers that have different input formats for specifying locations. A geo-location input may be normalized to an input format that conforms to a particular content provider, which may use a format for the geo-location input that is different that a format used by another content provider. The formatted geo-location input may be communicated to the particular content provider to obtain content from the content provider. The formatting may result in artifacts such as over-inclusive results having excess content and/or under-inclusive results that omit content that should have been provided. The obtained content obtained may corrected based on a determination of whether the content is over-inclusive and/or under-inclusive by removing obtained content and/or adding new content.
