Event attendance determinations

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for determining the likelihood of a user's attendance at an event. For example, the systems and methods can be used to determine that a particular user is attending, is planning to attend, has already attended, or is about to attend a particular event, such as a movie, concert, tour, etc. Further, upon determining that a user is attending, has already attended, or is about to attend an event, systems and methods can be used to serve to a device, associated with the user, content that is related to the event. For example, the content may include invites that invite the user to provide a review of the event and to join a discussion about the event. Further, for example, the content may include links to websites that provide reviews and other information about the event, provide information about related events, or that offer related items for sale.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions: receiving, via a user interface, event data representative of a type of user action taken by a user with respect to electronic information associated with an event, the event being a scheduled performance with at least one time-of-occurrence and at least one location; in response to receiving the event data, obtaining, by a processing apparatus, location data, indicating at least one location associated with the event, and timing data, indicating the at least one time-of-occurrence of the event at the at least one location; obtaining, by the processing apparatus, global positioning system (GPS) data indicating a location of at least one device associated with the user within a specified time of the at least one time-of-occurrence of the event; determining, by the processing apparatus, whether a current location of the at least one device of the user is within a specified distance of the at least one location of the event within the specified time of the at least one time-of-occurrence; and serving to the user, via the user interface, content that relates to the event.
