1. An apparatus for determining temporally relevant content for a moving mobile client, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication module for receiving a search criteria and persistently receiving a current location of the moving mobile client;
a location determination module, communicatively coupled to the communication module, for persistently locating the moving mobile client on a road network map; and
a content of interest determination module, communicatively coupled to the communication module, for determining temporally or geographically relevant content of interest to be transmitted to the moving mobile client, wherein the geographically relevant content of interest is related to the current location of the moving mobile client and corresponds to the search criteria, the temporally relevant content of interest generated within a pre-determined time interval of receiving the current location and corresponds to the search criteria.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for displaying geographically and/or temporally relevant multimedia notes on a mobile client device. The user creates a multimedia note through the mobile client device and transmits the note to the server. The server publishes the note and when the note becomes geographically and/or temporally relevant for other users, the server transmits the note to mobile client devices of those users. The server also tracks the route of a mobile client device and generates a web presentation with the tracked route including the multimedia notes embedded in various locations of the route.
