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 storing information for a social network that is associated with a physical location; one or more hardware processors coupled to the memory and operable to read instructions from the memory to perform the steps of:
connecting each of a plurality of first user devices to the social network using a communications network, wherein the connecting is performed at least partly in response to each of the plurality of first user devices being within a predetermined proximity of the physical location;receiving location-based information about the physical location over the communications network from each of the plurality of first user devices connected to the social network; andproviding at least some of the location-based information about the physical location over the communications network to a second user device.
