Systems and Methods for Generating Photographic Tours of Geographic Locations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a photographic tour of a geographic location, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user, a first set of photographic images associated with the geographic location;
receiving, from a second user, a second set of photographic images associated with the geographic location;
receiving, from the first user, a request to generate the photographic tour of the geographic location;
providing, by one or more processors, the first and second sets of photographic images for display via a graphical user interface, wherein the photographic images of the first and second sets of photographic images are user selectable for inclusion in the photographic tour of the geographic location;
receiving, by the one or more processors, user selection of two or more of the photographic images of the first and second sets of images, wherein the two or more photographic images selected comprise at least one of the photographic images of the first set of photographic images received from the first user and at least one of the photographic images of the second set of photographic images received from the second user;
generating, by the one or more processors, the photographic tour of the geographic location using the two or more photographic images selected such that the photographic tour of the geographic location comprises at least one photographic image provided by a user other than the user from which the request to generate the photographic tour of the geographic location was received; and
storing, in a photographic tour repository, the photographic tour of the geographic location.

Abstract
Embodiments include a computer-implemented for generating a photographic tour of a geographic location. The method including receiving, from first and second users, first and second sets of photographic images associated with the geographic location, receiving, from the first user, a request to generate the photographic tour of the geographic location, providing the first and second sets of photographic images for display, the photographic images of the first and second sets of photographic images being user selectable for inclusion in the photographic tour of the geographic location, receiving user selection of at least one of the photographic images of the first set of photographic images received from the first user and at least one of the photographic images of the second set of photographic images received from the second user, generating the photographic tour of the geographic location using the selected photographic images.

8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
displaying, at a client device associated with a user, a map indicating a geographic location; receiving, from a server, data identifying a plurality of photographic images to which the user has access rights, the plurality of photographic images identified by the server as being associated with the geographic location; displaying, on the map, a plurality of graphical representations, each graphical representation corresponding to one of the photographic images; receiving input selecting a plurality of the graphical representations; and sending, by the client device, a request to the server to generate a photographic tour of the geographic location, the tour comprising the photographic images corresponding to the plurality of graphical representations selected. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to cause the following steps for generating a photographic tour of a geographic location:
-
determining that a first set of photographic images administered by a first user are associated with the geographic location; defining a second set of photographic images, each photographic image of the second set being;
(i) associated with the geographic location and (ii) an image to which the first user has been granted an access right;providing data usable to display a representation of the photographic images of the first and second sets of photographic images on a display device; receiving, data indicating a selection of two or more of the photographic images of the first and second sets of images, wherein the two or more photographic images selected comprise at least one of the photographic images of the first set of photographic images and at least one of the photographic images of the second set of photographic images; and generating a photographic tour of the geographic location comprising the two or more photographic images. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
