METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AGGREGATING AND PRESENTING DATA ASSOCIATED WITH GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining a current location of a mobile device;
obtaining a filtering criterion;
obtaining a regional profile, based on the filtering criterion, of a region that includes the current location of the mobile device, wherein the regional profile includes a set of points of interest, at least one point of interest of the set of points of interest being associated with geotag data, the geotag data including media content associated with the at least one point of interest, wherein the media content is generated by one or more end-users while at the at least one point of interest and is tagged with a geographic location or other point of interest identifier corresponding to the at least one point of interest;
displaying the at least one point of interest;
obtaining a selection of a point of interest from among the displayed points of interest; and
presenting at least some of the media content associated with the selected point of interest.

Abstract
Implementations relate to systems and methods for aggregating and presenting data related to geographic locations. Geotag data related to geographic locations and associated features or attributes can be collected to build a regional profile characterizing a set of locations within the region. Geotag data related to the constituent locations, such as user ratings or popularity ranks for restaurants, shops, parks, or other features, sites, or attractions, can be combined to generate a profile of characteristics of locations in the region. The platform can generate recommendations of locations to transmit to the user of a mobile device, based for instance on the location of the device in the region as reported by GPS or other location service and the regional profile. Geotag data can include audio data analyzed using region-specific terms, and user recommendations can be presented via dynamic menus based on regional profiles, user preferences or other criteria.

21. An apparatus, comprising:
-
means for determining a current location of a mobile device; means for obtaining a filtering criterion; means for obtaining a regional profile, based on the filtering criterion, of a region that includes the current location of the mobile device, wherein the regional profile includes a set of points of interest, at least one point of interest of the set of points of interest being associated with geotag data, the geotag data including media content associated with the at least one point of interest, wherein the media content is generated by one or more end-users while at the at least one point of interest and is tagged with a geographic location or other point of interest identifier corresponding to the at least one point of interest; means for displaying the at least one point of interest; means for obtaining a selection of a point of interest from among the displayed points of interest; and means for presenting at least some of the media content associated with the selected point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising at least one instruction for causing a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
code for determining a current location of a mobile device; code for obtaining a filtering criterion; code for obtaining a regional profile, based on the filtering criterion, of a region that includes the current location of the mobile device, wherein the regional profile includes a set of points of interest, at least one point of interest of the set of points of interest being associated with geotag data, the geotag data including media content associated with the at least one point of interest, wherein the media content is generated by one or more end-users while at the at least one point of interest and is tagged with a geographic location or other point of interest identifier corresponding to the at least one point of interest; code for displaying the at least one point of interest; code for obtaining a selection of a point of interest from among the displayed points of interest; and code for presenting at least some of the media content associated with the selected point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
