PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system, and a program for providing location-based information.SOLUTION: A geographical location of a mobile computing device is received at a server system. A request for content is received at the server system from the mobile computing device. A search area that corresponds to the geographical location is selected by the sever system. The search area is selected from a group of the search areas that correspond to the geographical location. At least one of the search areas in the group of the search areas is geographically nested within at least another of the search areas. A search result that is most relevantly ranked for the selected search area is determined by the server system. Content that represents the determined search result is provided by the server system and for being received by the mobile computing device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12

Location-based searching

A technique, method, apparatus, and system to provide sports and sporting events related, integrated social networking, real time geospatial mapping, geo-target location based technologies including GPS and GIS and multiple points of interest, receiving current location of user's electronic or mobile device and multiple points of interest, cloud-type configuration storing and handling user data across multiple enterprises, generating user behavior data and ad links, promotions (“social/geo/promo”) links on a website for sports and sporting events related products, goods, gambling, and/or services, including sports related social/geo/promo data sets for user customized visual displays showing 3D map presentations with correlated or related broad or alternative categories of social/geo/promo links to be displayed with web page content for view and interaction by an end user.

System and method for providing sports and sporting events related social/geo/promo link promotional data sets for end user display of interactive ad links, promotions and sale of products, goods, gambling and/or services integrated with 3d spatial geomapping, company and local information for selected worldwide locations and social networking

A method, apparatus, non-transitory computer readable storage medium, computer system, network, or system, is provided for using location information, 2D and 3D mapping, social media, and user behavior and information to provide alternative a consumer feedback social media analytics platforms for providing analytic measurements data of online consumer feedback for global brand products or services of past, present or future customers, users, and/or target markets, for companies, organizations, government agencies, and the like, by electronically collecting and analyzing, on a networked computer system using a processor, qualitative or quantitative online social media online communications, activity, and online communications and activity relevant to consumer products or services, or promotions thereof, of interest, in order to provide targeted, location based, 2D or 3D mapped, or impressions to generate online location information data or promotions to provide improved or desired customer perception or sentiment regarding a company's products, services or promotions thereof.

System and method for using global location information, 2D and 3D mapping, social media, and user behavior and information for a consumer feedback social media analytics platform for providing analytic measurements data of online consumer feedback for global brand products or services of past, present or future customers, users, and/or target markets

A system for ranking geospatial entities is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises an interface for receiving ranking data about a plurality of geospatial entities and an entity ranking module. The module uses a ranking mechanism to generate place ranks for the geospatial entities based on the ranking data. Ranked entity data generated by the entity ranking module is stored in a database. The entity ranking module may be configured to evaluate a plurality of diverse attributes to determine a total score for a geospatial entity. The entity ranking module may be configured to organize ranked entity data into placemark layers.

Entity display priority in a distributed geographic information system

Interactive geographic information systems (GIS) and techniques are disclosed that provide users with a greater degree of flexibility, utility, and information. A markup language is provided that facilitates communication between servers and clients of the interactive GIS, which enables a number of GIS features, such as network links (time-based and/or view-dependent dynamic data layers), ground overlays, screen overlays, placemarks, 3D models, and stylized GIS elements, such as geometry, icons, description balloons, polygons, and labels in the viewer by which the user sees the target area. Also, “virtual tours” of user-defined paths in the context of distributed geospatial visualization is enabled. Streaming and interactive visualization of filled polygon data are also enabled thereby allowing buildings and other such features to be provided in 3D. Also, techniques for enabling ambiguous search requests in a GIS are provided.

Location-specific content is automatically generated for a particular entity having a plurality of physical locations. Database entries that contain identifying data associated with the particular entity are searched for to obtain location information of each of the plurality of physical locations. The location information, in correlation with one or more keywords associated with the particular entity, is stored in a computer-readable electronic database such that a user-generated query that includes at least one of the keywords and a search location causes a processor to execute operations that initiates a search of the computer-readable electronic database for the location information of the physical locations that are in proximity to the search location. At least one result that is displayable to the user is provided.

Method for generating location targeted, keyword-triggered, ads and generating user recallable layer-based ads

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer- readable storage medium, for campaign management. A method includes: presenting a user interface to a sponsor for customizing targeting information for a campaign including a control for specifying targeting criteria, where at least one targeting criterion includes a presence of a user in a prescribed geographic location or an indication of an interest by a user in the location; receiving a selection from the sponsor of targeting criteria to be associated with the campaign including a selection of one or both of user presence and interest; evaluating content delivery options for presenting content associated with the campaign including determining for a given content request whether a user is present or merely interested in a geographic location; and serving content from the campaign when a content item request satisfies the targeting criteria for the campaign.

Targeting based on intent or presence

A system and a computer-implemented method of serving online content items using a semantic description of a feature that is common to a plurality of online content locations are provided. The method includes assigning one or more identifications based on the semantic descriptions to each of the plurality of online content locations using one or more features associated with a respective one of the online content locations, receiving a selection of one or more of the assigned identifications and a physical location of the associated online content locations, determining at least one of a physical location of an online content recipient, and an intended location of the online content recipient, and transmitting an online content item to the online content recipient when the online content recipient is within a specified distance from any of the selected online content locations.
