Abstract

A system, method, apparatus and computer program utilize unique algorithms to identify relationships among user generated nodes of data to present an objective and dynamic visual computer model of a socio-cultural “scene.” Users enter information through a user interface, based on uniquely structured taxonomies, and the unique algorithms analyze the input information to identify relationships among the input information and then the identified relationships are presented or displayed in a dynamic graphical format. The “scenes” denote voluntary social groupings of individuals who were in geographical proximity at the same period of time and shared experiences based on an affinity to or involvement with a common cultural experience, not based upon any formal membership in an institution.

Claims

1. A method of idenifying and presenting information relating to a scene, the method comprising the steps of:

obtaining information relating to a socio-cultural environment based on at least one of an interest, an experience, a physical presence, a relationship or an artistic preference shared by at least two people;

analyzing the information obtained in the step of obtaining information so as to identify relationships among the information;

identifying a scene based on the step of analyzing the information; and

presenting to a user an interactive model of the scene based on the information obtained in the step of obtaining information and analyzed in the step of analyzing the information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining information includes obtaining information from the user through a user interface.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of obtaining information includes obtaining information from at least one of a storage device, a database, and a computer network.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of analyzing the information obtained in the obtaining step includes using at least one of heuristics and computer algorithms to analyze the information.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of identifying a scene includes identifying relationships between the information obtained in the step of obtaining information.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the interactive model includes nodes and relationships generated based on the information relating to the scene.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of presenting to a user an interactive model of the scene includes presenting to the user information relating to the scene via nodes and relationships.

8. A non-transitory digital storage medium comprising a computer p for performing a method of identifying and presenting information relating to a scene, the method comprising the steps of:

obtaining information relating to a socio-cultural environment based on at least one of an interest, an experience, a physical presence, a relationship or an artistic preference shared by at least two people;

analyzing the information obtained in the step of obtaining information so as to identify relationships among the information;

identifying a scene based on the step of analyzing the information; and

presenting to a user an interactive model of the scene based on the information obtained in the step of obtaining information and analyzed in the step of analyzing the information.
