  • Patent number: 9626446
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can apply searches and/or filters to data of social networks with respect to one or more geographical locations, geospatial references, location-based contexts, and/or map-based references. One or more social networks can be queried with search and/or filter parameters and one or more geographic locations, and results received from the social network(s) can be based on the search and/or filter parameter(s) and the geographic location(s) and presented to a user on a map or other user interface. Location-based information (e.g., in advertisement, a promotion, a coupon, etc.) can be provided to corresponding computing devices that correspond to one or more results of the one or more queries of the social network media data sources associated with the search region.

  • Patent number: 9477991
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can apply searches and/or filters to data of social networks with respect to one or more geographical search regions that intersect respective one or more geographical context regions. One or more social networks can be queried with search and/or filter parameters and one or more geographical context regions, and results received from the social network(s) can be based on the search and/or filter parameter(s) and the geographical context region(s) and presented to a user on a map or other user interface. One or more queries can be saved with their identification(s) of geographical context region(s) and their search and/or filter parameter(s) (e.g. saved queries) can continue to run and/or execute over one or more periods of time transpiring to provide continual and/or periodic reporting.

  • Publication number: 20150066916
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can determine a relation network via analyzing communications of social network users. In one example, a first group of users can be determined via a geographical search region (GSR), and a relation network can be determined via analyzing communications of the first group of users. In another example, the relation network can be determined via analyzing communications of the first group of users with a second group of users that were not directly determined via the GSR. For instance, locations of the second group of users can be determined to be associated with the GSR. For example, associating the second group of users with the GSR can include rating the second group of users, according to one or more criterions and corresponding connection strengths, and determining that the second group of users are connected to the first group of users.

  • Patent number: 8843515
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can apply searches and/or filters to data of social networks with respect to one or more geographical locations, geospatial references, location-based contexts, and/or map-based references. One or more social networks can be queried with search and/or filter parameters and one or more geographic locations, and results received from the social network(s) can be based on the search and/or filter parameter(s) and the geographic location(s) and presented to a user on a map or other user interface. A size of a search region can be changed to a second size, and/or a position of the search region can be changed to a second position. One or more queries can be saved with their geospatial references and their search and/or filter parameter(s) (e.g. saved queries) can continue to run and/or execute over one or more periods of time transpiring to provide continual and/or periodic reporting.

  • Publication number: 20140089343
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can apply searches and/or filters to data of social networks with respect to social network communications through a monitor device at a secure location, such as a home, business or entertainment center, for example. The monitor device is coupled to network equipment coupling the secure location to a wide area network (e.g., the Internet), and monitors all social network communications to and from the secure location. The monitor device is queried with search and/or filter parameters, and social network communications over the network to and from computing devices at the secure location can be monitored, intercepted, censored and/or duplicated based on the queries. Alerts can be generated in response to results of the queries and signaled to computing and telecommunications devices, for example.

  • Publication number: 20140089296
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods, and/or processes described can apply searches and/or filters to data of social networks with respect to one or more geographical locations, geospatial references, location-based contexts, and/or map-based references. A geographical search region can be associated with a computing device of a user and with locations of the computing device, including the ability to track the computing device with the geographical search region along a path of movement of the computing device. Other geographical search regions can be associated with other computing devices that were included within the geographical search region and can be associated with locations of the other computing devices.
