Systems and methods for identifying increased user interest and promoting content in a geographic information system
First Claim
1. A system for promoting content, the system comprising:
- one or more host servers operable to host a geographic information system, the one or more host servers each having at least one memory, at least one processor, and at least one network interface, the geographic information system comprising a plurality of geospatial data objects respectively representing a plurality of geographic areas;
wherein the one or more host servers are configured to perform operations, the operations comprising;
providing access to the plurality of geospatial data objects, via the at least one network interface, to one or more client devices;
receiving a request from the one or more client devices for a geospatial data object from the plurality of geospatial data objects, the geospatial object representing a geographic area;
determining a first geospatial data object experiencing an increased volume of access; and
providing for display by the one or more client devices a promoted item of content within the geographic information system, the item of content being associated with a first geographic area represented by the first geospatial data object.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying increased user interest in a geographic area and selecting and promoting content associated with such geographic area within a geographic information system are provided. One exemplary aspect relates to a computer-implemented method of promoting an item of content within a geographic information system. The geographic information system can comprise a plurality of geospatial data objects respectively representing a plurality of geographic areas. The plurality of geospatial data objects can be accessed by one or more client devices. The method includes identifying a first geospatial data object experiencing an increased volume of access. The method further includes selecting an item of content associated with a geographic area represented by the first geospatial data object and promoting the item of content within the geographic information system. An exemplary system includes a host server system in communication with one or more client devices over a network.

13. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a request from the one or more client devices for a geospatial data object from a plurality of geospatial data objects; monitoring the number of instances in which each of the plurality of geospatial data objects included in a geographic information system is downloaded by one or more client devices, each of the plurality of geospatial data objects respectively representing one of a plurality of defined geographic areas; determining a first geospatial data object experiencing an abnormally large number of downloads; and providing for display by the one or more client devices content within the geographic information system, the content associated with the first geospatial data object and having increased visibility within the geographic information system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
