Publication number: 20260087068Abstract: In various embodiments described herein, a visualization system receives message requests from client devices, wherein the message requests comprise at least location data that identifies a location of a client device, and media content, wherein the media content includes at least one of image data, audio data, and video data. In response to receiving the message requests that comprise the media content, the visualization system analyzes and parses the media content to detect one or more tags embedded within the media content. In response to detecting the tag, the visualization system identifies a campaign or account referenced by or associated with the tag. Based on the identification of the campaign based on the tag within the media content, the visualization system determines a distribution of the campaign based on the location data from the message request.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2025Publication date: March 26, 2026Inventors: Xuan Huang, Andrew Maxwell, Shuai Tong, Xiaoyu Wang
