LOCATION-BASED COMMUNICATIONS ACROSS TIME

摘要

A first user at a location creates content (e.g., a text, voice message, photograph, image, video, or other content) associated with the location and sends the content to a service provider server using a first user device. The service provider server stores the content for future visitors of the location to access. When a second user with a second user device is subsequently at or close to the location associated with the content, the service provider server provides access to the content based on a location of the second user device and one or more criteria, such as a search area criterion, time interval criterion, access area criterion, and/or user interest criterion. The second user may then view the content on the second user device.
