SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING A GEOGRAPHIC ORIGIN OF CONTENT AND ACCURACY OF GEOTAGS RELATED TO CONTENT OBTAINED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER CONTENT PROVIDERS
First Claim
1. A method of determining an accuracy of location information that indicates a location at which social media content was created, the method being implemented on a computer having one or more physical processors programmed with one or more computer program instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, program the computer to perform the method, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the computer, social media content from a social media content provider;
obtaining, by the computer, metadata associated with the social media content;
determining, by the computer, geotag data from the metadata, wherein the geotag data indicates;
(i) an automatically derived location, or (ii) a manually input location where the content was created; and
determining, by the computer, a confidence level associated with the geotag data, wherein the confidence level is indicative of a likelihood that the geotag data accurately describes a location where the content was created.

Abstract
A system and method for managing geotag data associated with content within a geofeed is provided. The content may be tagged with metadata such as geotag data that may specify a location where the content was created. The generated content may be geotagged by one or more geotag sources including a GPS-enabled device, a user input, a content provider, a user profile, or other sources. The system may determine the geotag data for the content that is not already associated with geotag data. The system may determine a confidence level of the geotag data, whether already geotagged or not. The confidence level may be indicative of a likelihood that the geotag data accurately describes a location where the content was actually created.

11. A system configured to determine an accuracy of location information that indicates a location at which social media content was created, the system comprising:
a computer comprising one or more physical processors programmed with one or more computer program instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, program the computer to; obtain social media content from a social media content provider; obtain metadata associated with the social media content; determine geotag data from the metadata, wherein the geotag data indicates;
(i) an automatically derived location, or (ii) a manually input location where the content was created; anddetermine a confidence level associated with the geotag data, wherein the confidence level is indicative of a likelihood that the geotag data accurately describes a location where the content was created. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
