Abstract
A system and method directed to geo-located audio, image, text and/or video content which may be characterized as content (audio, image, text, and/or video) that is accessed by one or more content consumers when such content consumers (or the associated content consumer devices) are physically located at a given geographic location and/or within a given vicinity (which may be fixed, predefined and/or programmable before or after uploading the content for access by content consumers) of the geographic location.
Claims8
A method of creating and uploading geo-located content by a content creator on a content creator device, wherein the content includes audio, images, text and/or video, the method comprising:
- enabling a geo-locate mode on the content creator device;
- defining one or more content tags to associate with the geo-located content;
- generating the geo-located content, after enabling the geo-locate mode, wherein the geo-located content is associated with a geographic location;
- determining geo-location data associated with the geo-located content wherein the geo-location data is representative of geographic coordinates of the geographic location;
- uploading the geo-located content, the one or more content tags, and the associated geo-location data of the geographic location to a backend computer, wherein the content tags are independent of the geographic location, and the geo-located content is only accessible to one or more content consumer devices when the one or more content consumer devices are physically located at or in a vicinity of the geographic location associated with the geo-located content and when the one or more content tags meet one or more associated filter settings of the one or more content consumer devices;
- and
- downloading the geo-located content associated with the geographic location to the one or more content consumer devices only when the one or more content consumer devices are physically located at or in a vicinity of the geographic location associated with the geo-located content and when the one or more content tags associated with the geo-located content meet the one or more associated filter settings of the one or more content consumer devices,
- wherein the one or more content tags include a period of time tag, the period of time tag defining when the geo-located content is available.
A method of creating and uploading by a content creator on a content creator device and receiving and downloading geo-located content by a content consumer on a content consumer device, wherein the content includes audio, images, text and/or video, the method comprising:
- enabling a geo-locate mode on the content creator device;
- defining one or more content tags to associate with the geo-located content, wherein the content tags are independent of a geographic location;
- generating first geo-located content, after enabling the geo-locate mode, wherein the first geo-located content is associated with a first geographic location;
- determining geo-location data associated with the first geo-located content wherein the geo-location data is representative of geographic coordinates of the first geographic location;
- uploading the first geo-located content, the one or more content tags, and the associated geo-location data of the first geographic location to a backend computer, wherein the first geo-located content is only accessible to one or more content consumer devices when the one or more content consumer devices are physically located at or in a vicinity of the first geographic location associated with the first geo-located content and when the one or more content tags meet one or more associated filter settings of the one or more content consumer devices;
- enabling a geo-locate mode on the content consumer device wherein the geo-locate mode allows the content consumer device to receive geo-located content;
- physically locating the content consumer device at a second geographic location associated with second geo-located content;
- defining one or more filter settings of the content consumer device, wherein the one or more filter settings are independent of a geographic location;
- and
- downloading the second geo-located content associated with the second geographic location to the content consumer device only when the content consumer device is physically located at or in a vicinity of the second geographic location associated with the second geo-located content and when the one or more content tags associated with the second geo-located content meet the one or more associated filter settings of the content consumer device,
- wherein the one or more content tags include a period of time tag, the period of time tag defining when the geo-located content is available.
