  • 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.
