Abstract
A method for creating and managing a digitized curated list. The list is then distributed to list users that the list owner wishes to grant access. The list user's location is of paramount importance. Based on that location, the user list will vary from user to user. Further, the method is dynamic so that as a specific user's location changes, that user's list will change accordingly in real-time.

A computer-implemented method for generating a geolocation-dependent digital guide, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a list owner, a plurality of records, each record comprising a venue or event and associated metadata including latitude, longitude, category, public description, hidden description, start date, and end date;
- storing the plurality of records in a structured database;
- generating, for each requesting user device, a unique guide identifier (UUID);
- receiving, from the user device, a current geolocation;
- computing a distance between the user device and each record;
- filtering the records by:
- (i) selecting only records whose distance is within a preset activation radius,
- (ii) selecting only records whose start date and end date include the current date,
- (iii) selecting records matching category-or metadata-based filters;
- generating a personalized subset of records for the user device;
- and
- transmitting the personalized subset for display as a mobile-first digital guide.
A computer-implemented method for generating a curated and digitized listing of festivities, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving, from a list owner, festivity information comprising a plurality of metadata fields including a Categorical Classification List Designator (CCLD), city, state, country, start date, and end date, and creating a corresponding structured record for each festivity;
- (b) importing the plurality of structured records into a database and processing the records to detect completeness, formatting consistency, or metadata validity;
- (c) determining whether any unprocessed records remain and, if so, processing the unprocessed records until all records have been validated;
- (d) generating a status indication that all records have been processed and creating a master list comprising the validated records;
- (e) providing a third party with access to the master list through a network-accessible link or machine-readable QR code;
- (f) receiving, from the third party's device, current geolocation information;
- (g) retrieving the master list and computing, for each festivity, a geospatial distance between the third party's device location and the festivity's coordinates using a geodesic distance algorithm;
- (h) generating a user-specific subset by associating each festivity with its computed distance value;
- (i) sorting the subset using a multi-stage ranking process comprising:
- (i) ordering the festivities based on start date or temporal relevance;
- and
- (ii) ordering the festivities based on proximity to the user;
- (j) excluding from the subset any festivity whose temporal metadata indicates that it is no longer active;
- and
- (k) displaying the resulting personalized listing of festivities in a digital format on the third party's device.
