METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TAGGING MEDIA ITEMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- causing, at least in part, receipt of a request to tag a media item having spatiotemporal data, wherein the request corresponds to a user;
determining whether the spatiotemporal data satisfies a predetermined criterion;
retrieving a tag specified by another user if the spatiotemporal data satisfies the predetermined criterion, wherein the retrieved tag is associated with other spatiotemporal data; and
causing, at least in part, transmission of the retrieved tag in response to the request.

Abstract
An approach is provided for tagging media items based on spatiotemporal data. A request to tag a media item having spatiotemporal data is received, wherein the request corresponds to a user. A determination is made whether the spatiotemporal data satisfies a predetermined criterion, and a tag specified by another user is retrieved if the spatiotemporal data satisfies the predetermined criterion. The retrieved tag is then transmitted in response to the request.

15. A method comprising:
-
generating a request to tag a media item having spatiotemporal data, wherein the request corresponds to a user; causing, at least in part, transmission of the request to a media services platform; receiving, in response to the request, one or more tags, associated with another user, having spatiotemporal proximity to the spatiotemporal data of the media item; and selecting one of the received tags to tag the media item. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
