1. A method of processing a user request for a recommended area of interest, the method being executable at a server, the method comprising:

  • a. receiving the user request, the user request comprising an indication of an electronic device geo-location and a user defined search constraint;

    b. receiving data associated with photographs, the photographs associated with geo-objects, the data comprising geo-location coordinates of the photographs, the geo-location coordinates of the photographs being in proximity with the electronic device geo-location;

    c. computing a plurality of region representations based on the geo-location coordinates of the photographs, each region representation within the plurality of region representations being associated with a unique photograph density calculation parameter, the computing comprising;

    i. computing a histogram representation of the geo-location coordinates of the photographs;

    ii. calculating a plurality of density estimations of the histogram representation based on the unique photograph density calculation parameter;

    iii. partitioning each density estimation of the plurality of density estimations, wherein each partitioned density estimation corresponds to each region representation, respectively; and

    iv. determining a potential area of interest in each region representation, each region representation within the plurality of region representations being a candidate for an optimal region representation;

    d. determining the optimal region representation based on the user defined search constraint; and

    e. displaying to the user the recommended area of interest that corresponds to the potential area of interest of the optimal region representation.
