Abstract

A system and method for location based event management is disclosed for organizing content based on time, location, application, and relates this information to the user by linking an associated relevant content. This is accomplished by utilizing a time module, a people module, a location module, an applications module, a browser module, an event module, and a content module to filter and display associated content. Through these modules, an event list is updated with results based on time, location, and relevance to the user and location, thus prioritizing information in a unique and novel manner.

Claims

an applications module configured to receive an application profile, said application profile comprising application content related to events;

a browser module configured to display a plurality of selectable people profiles, location profiles, and application profiles;

an event module configured to display an event list, said event list comprising a plurality of selectable dated events populated from selected people, location, and application profiles, said event list displaying events dated between said first and second time; and

a content module configured to display said application content associated with said application profile and selected dated event from said event list;

wherein said people profile, location, and application profiles can be activated for populating said event list or deactivated for withdrawal from said event list, said application profile can be activated for displaying application content and deactivated for withdrawal of said application content, said second time can be activated to for displaying events dated between said first and second time and deactivated for displaying all events dated after said first time, and wherein said event list can be stored on said storage means as a new profile selectable in said people or location module.

2. The time based event management system of claim 1, wherein said selectable results of said browser module further comprises displaying people profiles when said people module is selected, displaying location profiles when said location module is selected, and displaying application profiles when said application module is selected, said selectable results capable of being selected for participation in said event list, said selectable results sorted first by distance and second by popularity.

3. The time based event management system of claim 1, wherein said location module further comprises determining a client location having an adjustable radius defining a scope, said event module only displaying events positioned within said scope, said client location capable of being repositioned automatically or manually.

4. The time based event management system of claim 3, wherein said people profiles further comprise a people profile location, and wherein said browser module will display people profiles positioned within said scope.

5. The time based event management system of claim 1, wherein said content module further comprises;

a plurality of multimedia elements selected from a group comprising;

a location-based map display, a photo display, a text display, a video display, a playlist display, a recording display, and a photo tagging display;

said associated content further comprising interactive content for sending and receiving information between application profiles;

6. The time based event management system of claim 5, further comprising:

a playback module configured to receive an event list and sequentially displaying said application content of said events of said event list.

7. The time based event management system of claim 2, wherein said browser module is further configured to display results relating to a selected event, wherein selectable results are populated with associated people, location, and application profiles of said selected event, said selectable results capable of being selected for participation in said event list.

8. A processor-implemented method for time based event management, the method comprising:

receiving a first and second time;

displaying a plurality of selectable people profiles, location profiles, and application profiles in a browser module;

receiving a people profile comprising a list of dated events related to an avatar into a people module;

receiving a location profile comprising a list of dated events related to a location into a location module;

receiving an application profile comprising related application content into an application module;

displaying an event list comprising a plurality of selectable dated events populated from said people, location, and application profiles between said first and second time in an event module;

receiving an event selection from said event list;

displaying application content associated with said application profile and event selection in a content module;

wherein said people profile, location, and application profiles can be activated for populating said event list or deactivated for withdrawal from said event list, said application profile can be activated for displaying application content and deactivated for withdrawal of said application content, said second time can be activated to for displaying events dated between said first and second time and deactivated for displaying all events dated after said first time, and wherein said event list can be stored on said storage means as a new profile selectable in said people or location profiles.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying selectable people profiles when said people module is selected, displaying selectable location profiles when said location module is selected, and displaying selectable application profiles when said application module is selected, said selectable results capable of being selected for participation in said event list, said selectable results sorted first by distance and second by popularity.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving a client location having an adjustable radius defining a scope, said client location capable of being repositioned automatically or manually;

displaying an event list with events positioned within said scope;

displaying a plurality of selectable people profiles positioned within said scope.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying associated application content selected from a group comprising:

a plurality of multimedia elements selected from a group comprising;

a location-based map display, a photo display, a text display, a video display, a playlist display, a recording display, and a photo tagging display;

said associated content further comprising interactive content for sending and receiving information between application profiles;

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving an event list and sequentially displaying said application content of said events of said event list.

13. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying results relating to a selected event, wherein selectable results are populated with associated people, location, and application profiles of said selected event, said selectable results capable of being selected for participation in said event list.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

receiving a first and second time;

displaying a plurality of selectable people profiles, location profiles, and application profiles;

receiving a people profile comprising a list of dated events related to an avatar;
