Abstract

An approach is provided for a location-tagged user interface for media sharing. A media service platform determines one or more media profiles associated with at least one point of interest. The media service platform also causes, at least in part, a rendering of at least user interface element in association with at least one representation of the at least one point of interest. The user interface element represents, at least in part, the one or more media profiles. The media service platform further causes, at least in part, a rendering of at least one input connection component, at least one output connection component, or a combination thereof for interacting with the at least one user interface element, the one or more media profiles, or a combination thereof.

Claims

1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:

at least one determination of one or more media profiles associated with at least one point of interest;

a rendering of at least user interface element in association with at least one representation of the at least one point of interest, wherein the user interface element represents, at least in part, the one or more media profiles; and

a rendering of at least one input connection component, at least one output connection component, or a combination thereof for interacting with the at least one user interface element, the one or more media profiles, or a combination thereof.

2. A method of claim 1, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

a rendering of at least one connecting user interface element,

wherein one or more interactions among the at least one connecting user interface element, the at least one input connection component, the at least one output connection component, or a combination thereof causes, at least in part, one or more actions with respect to the one or more media profiles.

3. A method of claim 2, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

at least one determination that the one or more interactions are among the at least one input connection component, the at least one connecting user interface element, and one or more applications; and

a transfer of media information from the one or more applications to the one or more profiles in response to the one or more interactions.

4. A method of claim 3, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

an initiation of a playback of one or more media files associated with the one or more media profiles, the media information, or a combination thereof via the one or more applications based, at least in part, on the transfer.

5. A method of claim 2, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

at least one determination that the one or more interactions are among the at least one output connection component, the at least one connecting user interface element, and one or more applications; and

a transfer of the media information from the one or more media profiles to the one or more applications in response to the one or more interactions.

6. A method of claim 5, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

a generation of a request to playback one or more media files at the at least one point of interest based, at least in part, on the transfer,

wherein the one or more media files are associated with the media information, the one or more applications, or a combination thereof.

7. A method of claim 1, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

a rendering of at least one other user interface element in association with the at least one representation of the at least one point of interest,

wherein the at least one other user interface element is associated with performing one or more media processing effects; and

wherein the at least one other user interface element is rendered with at least one other input connection component, at least one other output connection component, or a combination thereof.

8. A method of claim 1, wherein the one or more processing effects are thematically related to the at least one point of interest.

9. A method of claim 1, wherein the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal are further based, at least in part, on the following:

at least one determination of the one or more media files to present in the user interface element based, at least in part, on physical proximity, social proximity, media profile similarity, or a combination thereof.

10. A method of claim 1, wherein the one or more representations are one or more three-dimensional representations, one or more two-dimensional representations, or a combination thereof of the at least one point of interest, one or more structures associated with the at least one point of interest, or a combination thereof.

11. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,

the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,

determine one or more media profiles associated with at least one point of interest;

cause, at least in part, a rendering of at least user interface element in association with at least one representation of the at least one point of interest, wherein the user interface element represents, at least in part, the one or more media profiles; and

cause, at least in part, a rendering of at least one input connection component, at least one output connection component, or a combination thereof for interacting with the at least one user interface element, the one or more media profiles, or a combination thereof.

12. An apparatus of claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

cause, at least in part, a rendering of at least one connecting user interface element,

wherein one or more interactions among the at least one connecting user interface element, the at least one input connection component, the at least one output connection component, or a combination thereof causes, at least in part, one or more actions with respect to the one or more media profiles.

13. An apparatus of claim 12, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine that the one or more interactions are among the at least one input connection component, the at least one connecting user interface element, and one or more applications; and

cause, at least in part, a transfer of media information from the one or more applications to the one or more profiles in response to the one or more interactions.

14. An apparatus of claim 13, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

cause, at least in part, an initiation of a playback of one or more media files associated with the one or more media profiles, the media information, or a combination thereof via the one or more applications based, at least in part, on the transfer.

15. An apparatus of claim 12, wherein the apparatus is further caused to:
