Abstract
Systems and methods for event tracking are disclosed. In one aspect, a set of venues is generated. A set of events that have occurred at one or more venues in the set of venues may be generated. One aspect includes querying a user media database associated with a user, and extracting metadata from one or more media files in the user media database. A match between at least a portion of the metadata and one or more events from the set of events may be determined. In an aspect, responsive to the determining, an entry in a matched events database corresponding to the match is created. A list of events attended by the user may be prepared. The list of events may include the matched events.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- generating a set of venues, wherein the set of venues includes, for each venue:
- a venue identifier;
- a latitude, a longitude and an altitude associated with the venue;
- and
- a radius associated with the venue, wherein the radius is used to determine a limiting boundary distance from the venue, and wherein the radius is compared with a user position in the metadata to determine if the user was present at the venue at a time that a specific event was being held at the venue;
- generating a set of events that have occurred at one or more venues in the set of venues;
- querying a user media database associated with a user;
- extracting metadata from one or more media files in the user media database;
- determining a match between at least a portion of the metadata and one or more events from the set of events, wherein the determining further comprises, for each media file in the user media database:
- calculating a physical distance between a location of each venue in a venue database and media location information associated with the media file, wherein the media location information is included in the metadata;
- determining a physically closest venue to the media location based on the calculating;
- determining a temporally closest event from a subset of the set of events that is within a predetermined time range of a metadata associated with the media file, wherein the subset includes one or more events that are associated with the physically closest venue;
- and categorizing the temporally closest event as a matching event;
- responsive to the determining, creating an entry in a matched events database corresponding to the match;
- and
- preparing a list of events attended by the user, wherein the list of events includes the matched events.

An apparatus comprising:
- a user mobile device including an image capturing device, comprising a computing processor, the image capturing device, configured to capture one or more media files and store the media files to a user media database associated with the user mobile device;
- and
- a computing system, comprising a computing processor, communicatively coupled to the user mobile device, wherein the computing system being configured to:
- generate a set of venues, wherein the set of venues includes, for each venue:
- a venue identifier;
- a latitude, a longitude and an altitude associated with the venue;
- and
- a radius associated with the venue, wherein the radius is used to determine a limiting boundary distance from the venue, and wherein the radius is compared with a user position in the metadata to determine if the user was present at the venue at a time that a specific event was being held at the venue;
- generate a set of events that have occurred at one or more venues in the set of venues;
- query the user media database;
- extract metadata from the one or more media files;
- determine a match between at least a portion of the metadata and one or more events from the set of events, wherein the determining further comprises, for each media file in the user media database:
- calculating a physical distance between a location of each venue in a venue database and media location information associated with the media file, wherein the media location information is included in the metadata;
- determining a physically closest venue to the media location based on the calculating;
- determining a temporally closest event from a subset of the set of events that is within a predetermined time range of a metadata associated with the media file, wherein the subset includes one or more events that are associated with the physically closest venue;
- and categorizing the temporally closest event as a matching event;
- responsive to the determining, create an entry in a matched events database corresponding to the match;
- and
- prepare a list of events attended by the user, wherein the list of events includes the matched events.
