Systems and methods for accessing content at an event
The accessing of event related content on a client device at an event techniques include a method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some embodiments of these techniques, the method includes receiving a request to check-in to the event from the client device. The check-in request includes geographic location information of the client device. The method further includes determining whether the client device is located at a venue holding the event based on the received geographic location information of the client device and a first predetermined radius. The method further includes determining whether the event at the venue is in progress. The method further includes transmitting a first plurality of event information to the client device based upon determination that the client device is located at the venue and the event is in progress.
1. A method for accessing content on a client device at an event, the method comprising:
receiving a request to check-in to the event from the client device, the check-in request including geographic location information of the client device;
determining whether the client device is located at a venue holding the event based on the received geographic location information of the client device and a first predetermined radius;
determining whether the event at the venue is in progress; and
based upon determination that the client device is located at the venue and the event is in progress, transmitting a first plurality of event information to the client device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein based upon determination that the client device is not at the venue, determining one or more venues within a second predetermined radius of the client device.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising transmitting information regarding the one or more venues to the client device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received location information includes latitude and longitude of the client device.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the received location information includes a confidence level indication.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein based upon determination that the client device is not at the venue or the event is not progress, transmitting a second plurality of event information to the client device.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second plurality of event information is a subset of the first plurality of event information.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting a notification to a social network application regarding the client device checked into the event.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the client device is a mobile device.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received geographic location of the client device is determined by the client device based on one or more of the following: GPS, cell-tower, and Wi-Fi triangulation.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the client device is at the venue is based on the received geographic location of the client device and a predefined coordinate map of the venue.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising
determining compliance with one or more rules associated with the geographic location of the client device.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes an instant re-play of a portion of the event.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes event statistics.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes event commentary.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes transportation information.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes weather updates.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes information about another event.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of event information includes highlights and/or instant replays.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of processor executable instructions that when executed by a processor configure a computing apparatus to:
receive a request to check-in to the event from the client device, the check-in request including geographic location information of the client device;
determine whether the client device is at a venue holding the event based on the received geographic location information of the client device and a first predetermined radius;
determine whether the event at the venue is in progress; and
based upon determination that the client device is at the venue and the event is progress, transmit a first plurality of information relating to the event to the client device.
