Abstract

A system for analysis and viewing of social interactions based on user devices, comprising an analysis and geolocation platform stored and operating on a network-connected computing device, that receives social interaction information and analyzes the information, and a visualization engine stored and operating on a network-connected computing device that forms visual representations of the social interaction information, and a method for analysis and viewing of social interactions based on user devices.

Claims

1. A system for analyzing and viewing social interactions based on user devices, comprising:

a geolocation and analytics server comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to receive information from a plurality of social media networks, the information comprising at least social interaction information pertaining to users of the social media network and a plurality of geolocation information; and

a visualization engine comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to produce a plurality of visual representations of analyzed social interaction information received from the geolocation and analytics server;

wherein the geolocation and analytics server analyzes received social interaction information;

wherein the geolocation and analytics server derives new information based at least in part on the results of the analysis;

wherein the geolocation and analytics server provides at least a portion of the received and derived social interaction information to the visualization engine;

wherein the visualization engine produces a plurality of visual representations based at least in part on the received information; and

wherein the visualization engine presents at least a portion of the visual representations to a human user for review.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the geolocation information comprises metadata associated with a social media post.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the connected resources comprise at least a plurality of user devices.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the analytics and geolocation platform further comprises a software API;

wherein the API is integrated into software operating on a user device and configured to facilitate two-way communication between the user device and the geolocation and analytics server.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the geolocation information comprises at least location sensor information from a user device.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the connected resources comprise at least a plurality of social media networks.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the analytics and geolocation platform further comprises a software web crawler configured to retrieve information from the plurality of social media networks.

8. A method for analyzing and viewing social interactions based on user devices, comprising the steps of:

receiving, at a geolocation and analytics server comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to receive information from a plurality of social media networks, the information comprising at least social interaction information pertaining to users of the social media network and a plurality of geolocation information, social interaction information;

analyzing the information;

updating the information with location-based information based at least in part on the analysis results; and

storing at least a portion of the information for future reference.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising the steps of:

receiving, at a visualization engine comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to produce a plurality of visual representations of analyzed social interaction information received from the geolocation and analytics server, at least the social interaction information;

generating a visual representation based at least in part on the information received; and

providing the visual representation to a human user for review.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising the step of storing the visual representation for future reference.
