Abstract
Location information is used to build a database of locations having associated audio, video, image, or text data. In some implementations, a device includes a touch-sensitive display and collects data associated with a geographic location of interest. The geographic location of interest can be displayed on a map using an indicator. A touch selection of the indicator provides access to the data through an interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display. One or more locations of interest can be displayed and grouped together by an attribute.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- displaying a map of a geographic region in a user interface of a mobile device;
- receiving, from a location system of the mobile device, data representing a geographic location of the mobile device;
- displaying, in association with the map displayed on the mobile device, an indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
- receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of the displayed indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
- receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of data stored on data storage of the mobile device, wherein the selected data includes text, images, audio or video;
- associating the selected data with the data representing the geographic location;
- and
- storing, on the mobile device, data representing the association of the geographic location and the selected data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more
- sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes operations
- comprising:
- displaying a map of a geographic region in a user interface of a mobile device;
- receiving, from a location system of the mobile device, data representing a geographic location of the mobile device;
- displaying, in association with the map displayed on the mobile device, an indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
- receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of the displayed indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
- receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of data stored on data storage of the mobile device, wherein the selected data includes text, images, audio or video;
- associating the selected data with the data representing the geographic location;
- and
- storing, on the mobile device, data representing the association of the geographic location and the selected data.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes operations comprising:
- displaying a map of a geographic region in a user interface of a mobile device;
- receiving, from a location system of the mobile device, data representing a geographic location of the mobile device;
- displaying, in association with the map displayed on the mobile device, an indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
- receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of the displayed indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
- receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of data stored on data storage of the mobile device, wherein the selected data includes text, images, audio or video;
- associating the selected data with the data representing the geographic location;
- and
- storing, on the mobile device, data representing the association of the geographic location and the selected data.
