Abstract

A system and method for presenting digital information is described. The system comprises a local client, a plurality of geo-located objects (GLOBs), a GLOB Data Sheet, a grouping of GLOBS, and a display device are described. The local client is configured to collect a plurality of objects, in which each object is composed of digital information. Each of the geo-located objects (GLOBs) comprises a location component that is associated with each object. One GLOB Data Sheet (GDS) is associated with each GLOB and each GDS is configured as a data structure that comprises one or more auxiliary data fields that are searchable and store auxiliary information associated with each GLOB. The grouping of GLOBs is organized as a function of time and location information that is gathered from each GDS. The display device is configured to present the organized grouping of GLOBs. The display device is also configured to receive at least one computer instruction that allows additional information that is extracted from the associated GDS to be presented on the display device.

Claims (41)

1. A system for presenting digital information, comprising:

a local client configured to collect a plurality of objects, in which each object comprises a plurality of digital information;

a plurality of geo-located objects (GLOBs) wherein each GLOB comprises a location component that is associated with each object;

a GLOB Data Sheet (GDS) that is associated with each GLOB, said GDS configured as a data structure comprising one or more auxiliary data fields that are searchable and store auxiliary information associated with each GLOB;

a grouping of GLOBS that are organized as a function of time and location that is gathered from each GDS,

an implicit local module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs based on the location of at least one GLOB that is explicitly located;

a display device configured to present the organized grouping of GLOBs, said display device configured to receive at least one computer instruction that allows additional information that is extracted from the associated GDS to be presented on the display device; and

a network that is communicatively coupled to the local client,

wherein a remote server communicatively coupled to the network, said local client configured generate each GLOB and each GDS, said remote server configured to generate the grouping of GLOBs and communicate the grouping of GLOBs to the display device.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said remote server configured to generate each GLOB, each GDS, the grouping of GLOBs and communicate the grouping of GLOBs via said network to the display device.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said remote server comprising a plurality of third party content that is communicated to the local client where the local client is configured to generate each GLOB, each GDS, and the grouping of GLOBs.

4. The system of claim 1 further comprising a virtual tour module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs as an animation that is dependent on time and location.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising a virtual tour module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs as an animation that is dependent on location.

6. A system for presenting digital information, comprising:

a means for collecting a plurality of objects, in which each object comprises a plurality of digital information;

a plurality of geo-located objects (GLOBs) wherein each GLOB comprises a location component that is associated with each object

a GLOB Data Sheet (GDS) that is associated with each GLOB, said GDS configured as a data structure comprising one or more auxiliary data fields that are searchable and store auxiliary information associated with each GLOB;

a grouping of GLOB S that are organized as a function of time and location that is gathered from each GDS,

an implicit local module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs based on the location of at least one GLOB that is explicitly located;

a means for displaying the organized grouping of GLOBs, said means for displaying configured to allow information to be extracted from the GLOB's associated GDS; and

a remote server communicatively coupled to a network, said local client configured to generate each GLOB and each GDS, said remote server configured to generate the grouping of GLOBs and communicate the grouping of GLOBs to the means for displaying.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the network that is communicatively coupled to the means for collecting a plurality of objects.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein said remote server configured to generate each GLOB, each GDS, the grouping of GLOBs and communicate the grouping of GLOBs via said network to the means for displaying.

9. The system of claim 7 wherein said remote server comprising a plurality of third party content that is communicated to a networked client where the networked client is configured to generate each GLOB, each GDS, and the grouping of GLOBs.

10. The system of claim 6 further comprising a virtual tour module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs as an animation that is dependent on time and location.

11. The system of claim 6 further comprising a virtual tour module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs as an animation that is dependent on location.

12. A method for presenting digital information, comprising:

collecting a plurality of objects wherein each object comprises a plurality of digital information;

generating a plurality of geo-located objects (GLOBs) wherein each GLOB comprises a location component that is associated with each object;

generating a GLOB Data Sheet (GDS) that is associated with each GLOB, said GDS configured as a data structure comprising one or more auxiliary data fields that are searchable and store auxiliary information associated with each GLOB;

organizing a grouping of GLOBS based on time and location information that was identified within each associated GDS,

organizing the grouping of GLOBs with an implicit local module that organizes based on the location of at least one GLOB that is explicitly located;

displaying the organized grouping of GLOBs so that auxiliary information may be extracted from the GLOB's associated GDS,

wherein each GLOB and each GDS are locally generated and the grouping of GLOBs is remotely generated; and

communicating the grouping of GLOBs to a local display device.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising, remotely generating each GLOB, each GDS, and the grouping of GLOBs, and communicating the grouping of GLOBs to a local display device.

14. The method of claim 12 further comprising:

communicating a plurality of third party content to a local display device; and

locally generating each GLOB, each GDS, and the grouping of GLOBs.

15. The method of claim 12 further comprising organizing the grouping of GLOBs with a virtual tour module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs as an animation that is dependent on time.

16. The method of claim 12 further comprising organizing the grouping of GLOBs with a virtual tour module that organizes the grouping of GLOBs as an animation that is dependent on location.
