Abstract

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprising a processor configured to transmit data based at least in part on an action of users related to consumed media. Further the apparatus comprises a user interface configured to display an indicator associated with the data.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

obtaining data based at least in part on an action of users related to consumed media; and

displaying an indicator associated with the data.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the action relates using media, changing a geographic location, making a phone call, watching an advertisement, using an application, sending a message.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the consumed media is at least one of the following:

audio, video, text files, a podcast, an image sharing application, a really simple syndication reader, rich summary site reader, or resource description framework summary site reader.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the data is displayed on a map.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the data further comprises displaying the data in at least one of the following views:

a movement view, an ownership view, an icon view, or a text view.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the data further comprises displaying an indicator.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a media recommendation to at least one of the users not associated with the consumed media.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving an advertisement for at least one of the users.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising connecting to a server, a service, or an electronic device.

19. The apparatus of claim 1O, wherein the processor comprises at least one memory that contains executable instructions that if executed by the processor cause the apparatus to:

transmit data based at least in part on an action of users related to consumed media.

10. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to;

obtain data based at least in part on an action of users related to consumed media; and

a user interface configured to;

display an indicator associated with the data.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the action relates using media, changing a geographic location, making a phone call, watching an advertisement, using an application, sending a message.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the consumed media is at least one of the following:

audio, video, text files, a podcast, an image sharing application, a really simple syndication reader, rich summary site reader, or resource description framework summary site reader.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the user interface is further configured to display the data on a map.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the user interface is further configured to display the data in at least one of the following views:

a movement view, an ownership view, an icon view, or a text view.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the user interface is further configured to display an indicator.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the processor is further configured to receive a media recommendation to at least one of the users not associated with the consumed media.

17. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the processor is further configured to receive an advertisement to at least one of the users.

18. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the processor is further configured to connect to a server, a service, or an electronic device.

20. A computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform:

obtaining data based at least in part on an action of users related to consumed media; and

displaying an indicator associated with the data.
