INFORMATION PROVISION THROUGH TEMPORARY SOCIAL NETWORKS

摘要

A method for providing location-based information via a temporary social network includes detecting each of a plurality of first user devices within a predetermined proximity of a physical location and, in response, connecting each of the plurality of first user devices to a social network that is associated with the physical location using a communications network. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of first user devices will be connected to the social network for a predetermined amount of time or for as long as they are in the predetermined proximity. While in the social network, location-based information about the physical location is received over the communications network from each of the plurality of first user devices connected to the social network. At least some of that location-based information about the physical location may then be over the communications network to a second user device.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory memory; and one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a plurality of user-generated content submissions over a communications network;determining that a first subset of the plurality of user-generated content submissions were received from at least one first user device that is located within a minimum proximity of a physical location and, in response, adding each of the first subset of the plurality of user-generated content submissions to a location-based information feed that includes only user-generated content submissions that are received from user devices that are located within the minimum proximity of the physical location; andproviding the location-based information feed over the communications network for display on at least one second user device that is located outside the minimum proximity of the physical location.
