Abstract: A method and a system for providing a location-based content-linking icon based on a discussion content category, and a computer-readable recording medium are provided. The system includes a server having a database and a linking-icon library. When the server receives location data from a user device, a geographic range can be determined. After querying the database according to the geographic range, one or more location-based contents correlated with a geographic location within the geographic range can be obtained. Afterwards, the linking-icon library is queried for obtaining the location-based content-linking icon that is used to be marked at the geographic location on a graphical user interface according to the category of the one or more location-based contents. The location-based content-linking icon is dynamically updated when the category of the one or more location-based contents is changed.

Abstract: A method and a system for initiating a location-based topic are provided. The system includes a serving system that allows a user to initiate the location-based topic within a social media and a graphical user interface initiated in a user device through a software means. The method allows the user to initiate a topic page when browsing digital contents in the social media via the graphical user interface. Besides being able to browse various location-based topics created by other users and the responses, the user himself can also create a location-based topic provided for other users to browse and respond to. Through web and computer technology, the serving system allows the user to browse the various digital contents via the social media and interact with other users through the various location-based topics.

Abstract: A method and a system for recommending personalized content, and a graphical user interface are provided. The method is operated in a serving system. When a user identification data is received from a user device, a user preference is acquired by querying a database, so as to match one or more digital contents that are consistent with the user preference. These digital contents are grouped according to locations of the digital contents. Multiple thumbnail images representing different groups of digital contents within a geographic range are generated. The thumbnail images are provided for the user device to display on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface switches to the geographic range represented by the thumbnail image that is selected by a user. Multiple linking points are included in the geographic range, and the user selects one of the linking points to play corresponding digital content(s).
