Patent number: 10530783Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: TAI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip B. Harris, Scott K. Mitchell, Michael J. Mulroy

Patent number: 10523768Abstract: A system and method for generating a geofeed 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 geographically definable location may be specified by a boundary, geo coordinates, an address, a place name, a point of interest, a zip code, and/or other information that can spatially identify an area. The geofeed may be presented via an interface that spatially arranges the content according to a geo-location related to the content and/or for integration with other data collection systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: TAI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip B.

Publication number: 20190123927Abstract: The systems and methods described herein relate to monitoring content, generating alerts, determining trends, and communicating notifications related to geofeeds, including content related to geographically definable locations that is aggregated from a plurality of social media or other content providers. The system may monitor the content based on one or more alert parameters that specify alert conditions that when satisfied cause the system to generate an alert, including trending alerts. The system may track an activity as it moves over time. Content may be associated with the activity and monitored such that the activity may be tracked based on the monitored content. Various alerts may be generated based on the tracked activity. The system may communicate notifications that include the alerts, thereby leveraging content from social media or other providers to convey real-time information on subject matter, trends, activities, and/or other information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: TAI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip B.

Publication number: 20180060353Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Applicant: TAI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip B. HARRIS, Scott K. MITCHELL, Michael J. MULROY

Patent number: 9906576Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: TAI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip B.

Patent number: 9838485Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: TAI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip B.

Publication number: 20170046355Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2016Publication date: February 16, 2017Applicant: Geofeedia, Inc.Inventors: Philip B.
