METHOD OF INDEXING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT BY CREATING DATABASE RECORDS THAT INCLUDE LOCATION DATA

摘要

A method of indexing multimedia content by creating database records that include location data is disclosed. Devices that generate multimedia content also generate location data corresponding to the location of the device when the content is generated. The location data includes geographical coordinates such as latitude and longitude as well as orientation and tilt. Other data may be recorded such as date and time of day, and light exposure. The content and location data are communicated to a Content Index Processor (CIP) that creates a database record from the location data and determines classifications for the database record that can be used by a person that is searching for particular multimedia content.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a request for media content associated with a location to yield requested media content; in response to the request, accessing a database of stored media content, wherein the database stores an orientation direction for a device when the device generated a respective record of the stored media content; returning a selected record of the stored media content when a vector of the orientation direction of the selected record from a device location intersect a two-dimensional shape around the location; and providing the selected record to a device of a user.
