Abstract
Content items, such as e-books, audio files, video files, etc., may be recommended to a user based on the user's presence at a geolocation or venue. Geolocation is the geospatial location of the user, while a venue is a designated area for an activity, such as a concert hall, aircraft, waiting room, etc. The recommendations may be of content items relating to the geolocation or venue, or they may be content items being accessed by others who are, or have been, in approximately the same geolocation or venue.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a location of a first access device;
- identifying an electronic book (eBook) that has been accessed by a second access device while the second access device was at the location, the eBook comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including geo-location content and the second portion including non-geolocation content;
- analyzing the first portion of the eBook to determine that the geo-location content of the eBook is geographically related to the location;
- analyzing the second portion of the eBook to determine that the non-geolocation content of the eBook is topically related to the location;
- and
- generating a recommendation of the eBook based at least in part on determining that the geo-location content of the eBook is geographically related to the location and determining that the non-geolocation content of the eBook is topically related to the location.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, instruct one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a location of a first access device;
- determining a content item that has been accessed by a second access device while the second access device was at the location;
- analyzing non-geolocation content of the content item to determine that at least a portion of the content item is topically related to the location;
- and
- sending a recommendation of the content item to the first access device.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a location module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to identify a location of a first electronic access device;
- and
- a recommendation module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to:
- identify a content item that has been accessed by a second electronic access device while the second electronic access device was at the location, the content item comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion indicating a geo-location and the second portion including non-geolocation content;
- analyze the second portion of the content item to determine that the non-geolocation content is topically related to the location;
- and
- generate, based at least in part on the determining that the non-geolocation content is topically related to the location, a recommendation of the content item.
