Abstract
A system and method for providing location information on a social network, including: sending, to a social mapping system, a request for one or more social media posts, wherein the request includes screen attribute information about a display of a client device, geographic location information, and an identification of a requesting account of the social network; receiving, in response to the request, a suggested group for display by the client device; and displaying, by the client device, the suggested group.
Claims20
A system for location-based social networking, comprising:
- a computer processor;
- a social mapping system executing on the computer processor and configured to:
- receive, from a client device, a request for one or more social media posts, wherein the request includes screen attribute information about a display of the client device specifying a geographic map region displayed on the client device, geographic location information, and an identification of a requesting account of the social network;
- identify a set of social media posts based on the screen attribute information and the geographic location information;
- calculate a first customized score for each of the social media posts by applying a first set of preference factors corresponding to the requesting account to a general score of each social media post;
- calculate a second customized score for each of the social media posts by applying a second set of preference factors corresponding to the requesting account to the general score of each social media post;
- generate a combined ranking for each of the social media posts based on the first customized score and the second customized score;
- select, based on the combined ranking, a subset of the set of social media posts for inclusion in a suggested group;
- and
- provide the suggested group to the client device in response to the request.
