  • Patent number: 11936702
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.

  • Publication number: 20230155707
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying broadcast sources within a MapView system. A MapView system may display a first representation of a first geographical area that includes icons representing a location of broadcast sources. User characteristics may be extracted from a first user device associated with the MapView system. A machine-learning model may execute using the user characteristics to generate contemporaneous broadcast characteristics corresponding to a user of the first user device. The MapView system may then display a second representation of the geographical area that includes icons representing a location of different broadcast sources. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of particular broadcast source from the different broadcast sources.

  • Publication number: 20140289000
    Abstract: A system and method for providing crowd sourced metrics for broadcast content providers. For determinations of such metrics, user consumption of broadcast content in multiple streams by multiple content providers may be monitored and user consumption information regarding the broadcast content may be obtained. One or more content consumption metrics may be determined to quantify individual user consumption of the broadcast content. Audience metrics may be determined, for a content provider, to inform about users that are available to consume broadcast content provided by the content provider. Events within the broadcast content may be determined and event information regarding individual user consumption of the broadcast content at the event may be obtained. Event metrics may be determined based on the obtained event information to inform about consumption of the broadcast content at the event by users.
