1. A method comprising:
- monitoring, by a system including a processor, a first device and a first application of a first user to determine a first current location, a first activity at the first current location, a first predicted future location, and a first predicted future activity at the first predicted future location of the first user;
determining, by the system, a first relationship between the first user and a second user;
determining, by the system, a second relationship between the first user and a third user;
determining, by the system, a first interaction region associated with the first user according to the first current location, the first activity, the first predicted future location, the first predicted future activity, and the first relationship, wherein the first interaction region represents a first geographic area in which the first user is determined to be available to meet with the second user;
providing, by the system, first data indicating a location of the first interaction region to a second device of the second user, wherein the location of the first interaction region is presentable on a map by the second device in conjunction with presenting the first current location of the first user;
determining, by the system, a second interaction region associated with the first user according to the first current location, the first activity, the first predicted future location, the first predicted future activity, and the second relationship, wherein the second interaction region represents a second geographic area in which the first user is determined to be available to meet with the third user; and
providing, by the system, second data indicating a location of the second interaction region to a third device of the third user, wherein the location of the second interaction region is presentable on another map by the third device in conjunction with presenting the first current location of the first user.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, presenting, in a map, an interaction region associated with a user, where the interaction region is determined according to a current location, an activity, a predicted future location, and a predicted future activity of the second user, and according to a relationship between the user and another users, where the interaction region represents a geographic area in which the user is determined to be available to meet with the other user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
