Abstract
Systems and methods for receiving information associated with posts to a social network are described. Posts may be associated with a location. Symbols, portions or posts, or multiple symbols may be shown on a client device in an area of a map indicating a location associated with a post. Posts may be represented by symbols, which may include shapes, and such shapes may include emojis. An amount of symbols, posts, or portions of posts displayed on a client device may be determined at least in part by an area of a map displayed on a client device.

A system for location information on a social network, comprising:
- a computer processor;
- and
- a social mapping module executing on the computer processor and configured to enable the computer processor to:
- receive, from a client device, a first request for one or more social media posts, wherein the first request includes first screen attribute information about a display of the client device;
- identify a set of social media posts based on the first screen attribute information;
- apply, by the computer processor, grouping criteria to the set of social media posts to generate an aggregated group, wherein:
- the aggregated group is a subset of the set of social media posts, and
- applying the grouping criteria comprises:
- ranking each social media post of the set of social media posts according to relevancy with the other social media posts of the set of social media posts, and
- selecting, based the ranking, the subset of the set of social media posts for inclusion in the aggregated group, wherein the selecting comprises excluding at least one social media post of the set of social media posts from inclusion in the aggregated group based on the ranking;
- generate an aggregated graphical symbol based on the aggregated group, wherein the aggregated graphical symbol represents the aggregated group;
- and
- provide, in response to the first request, the aggregated graphical symbol for display by the client device.
A system for location information on a social network, comprising:
- a computer processor;
- and
- a social mapping module executing on the computer processor and configured to enable the computer processor to:
- identify, at the client device, first screen attribute information of the client device;
- send, by the client device, a request for social media posts, wherein the request includes the first screen attribute information;
- receive, by the client device, a set of social media posts;
- apply, by the computer processor, grouping criteria to the set of social media posts to generate an aggregated group, wherein:
- the aggregated group is a subset of the set of social media posts, and
- applying the grouping criteria comprises:
- ranking each social media post of the set of social media posts according to relevancy with the other social media posts of the set of social media posts, and
- selecting, based the ranking, the subset of the set of social media posts for inclusion in the aggregated group, wherein the selecting comprises excluding at least one social media post of the set of social media posts from inclusion in the aggregated group based on the ranking;
- generate an aggregated graphical symbol based on the aggregated group, wherein the aggregated graphical symbol represents the aggregated group;
- and
- display, at the client device, the aggregated graphical symbol.
A method for receiving location information on a social network, the method comprising:
- submitting, from a client device, a social media post including text, a first graphical symbol, and an emotional state selected at the client device, and wherein the emotional state corresponds with a color;
- determining, at the client device, screen attributes of the client device;
- displaying, at the client device, information included in the social media post based at least in part on the screen attributes;
- altering the text in response to a property of the screen attributes;
- and
- displaying an aggregated symbol including at least one image based on:
- at least one attribute of the social media post;
- and
- the color corresponding with the emotional state.
