Abstract
An apparatus for providing relevance indication may include a processor. The processor may be configured to identify tags associated with a place. In this regard, the place may be a virtual location where information is shared. The processor may be configured to determine a relevance value for the place by analyzing the tags relative to user attributes. The processor may also be configured to provide for an output of a representation of the relevance value to a user interface. Associated methods and computer program products are also provided.
Claims29
A computer implemented method comprising:
- identifying tags associated with a place, the place being a virtual location where information is shared;
- determining a relevance value for the place by analyzing the tags relative to user attributes, wherein a number of matches identified between the tags of a place and the user attributes are used to determine the relevance value for the place, wherein algorithms, formulas, or relationships used to determine the relevance value are based on a number of matches having a linear proportionality relationship, an exponential relationship, or a non-linear relationship;
- determining an activity value indicative of an amount of activity associated with the place based, at least in part, on a number of newly identified tags determined over a period of time defined by a pre-determined time value;
- and
- providing for an output to a user interface, wherein the output comprises a listing of the place and a representation of a level of the relevance value and a representation of a level of the activity value associated with the place.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- identify tags associated with a place, the place being a virtual location where information is shared;
- determine a relevance value for the place by analyzing the tags relative to user attributes, wherein a number of matches identified between the tags of a place and the user attributes are used to determine the relevance value for the place, wherein algorithms, formulas, or relationships used to determine the relevance value are based on a number of matches having a linear proportionality relationship, an exponential relationship, or a non-linear relationship;
- determine an activity value indicative of an amount of activity associated with the place based, at least in part, on a number of newly identified tags determined over a period of time defined by a pre-determined time value;
- and
- provide for an output to a user interface, wherein the output comprises a listing of the place and a representation of a level of the relevance value and a representation of a level of the activity value associated with the place.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
- identify tags associated with a place, the place being a virtual location where information is shared;
- determine a relevance value for the place by analyzing the tags relative to user attributes, wherein a number of matches identified between the tags of a place and the user attributes are used to determine the relevance value for the place, wherein algorithms, formulas, or relationships used to determine the relevance value are based on a number of matches having a linear proportionality relationship, an exponential relationship, or a non-linear relationship;
- determine an activity value indicative of an amount of activity associated with the place based, at least in part, on a number of newly identified tags determined over a period of time defined by a pre-determined time value;
- and
- provide for an output to a user interface of the apparatus, wherein the output comprises a listing of the place and a representation of a level of the relevance value and a representation of a level of the activity level associated with the place.
