Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating user interaction such as within a social network are described. In one implementation, location-based display of images and/or other information associated with other users or entities may be provided. The information may be provided in association with mapping or other positional data or information such as personal interests.
Claims20
A system for facilitating location-based social interaction comprising:
- one or more servers being configured to:
- receive, from a location-based social interaction application installed on a portable electronic device of a requesting user of an online service for facilitating location-based social interaction, a request for information concerning users of the online service located within a range of a location of the requesting user;
- generate a list of the users located within the range of the location;
- filter, based upon filtering criteria, the list in order to create a filtered list of the users;
- and
- transmit, to the portable electronic device, profile information relating to the filtered list of the other users;
- wherein:
- the location-based social interaction application is configured to utilize the profile information to generate a user interface that includes a location-based profile display including interactive representations corresponding to the filtered list of the users located within the range of the requesting user's location;
- the location-based social interaction application is configured to display a second user interface that enables the portable electronic device of the requesting user to communicate with a device of a second user;
- and
- the second user interface includes an option that enables the location of the requesting user to be transmitted to the device of the second user;
- and
- in response to a selection of the option included on the second user interface, the location of the requesting user is transmitted to the device of the second user.
