Abstract

Methods for providing group swarm metrics and content are described herein. In different aspects, the methods may include compiling a content access metric. The methods may also include determining a threshold metric for a user. Further, the methods may include generating a notification message for the user when the compiled content access metric reaches the threshold metric. The methods may additionally include delivering the notification message to the user. The techniques described herein may enable the user to retrieve the content.

Claims (36)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

compiling a content access metric, wherein the compiling the content access metric comprises measuring a number of users in a group accessing a content during a period of time, wherein the group comprises a plurality of users physically present within a specific geographic constraint during the period of time;

determining a threshold metric for a user;

generating a notification message for the user when the content access metric reaches the threshold metric; and

delivering the notification message to the user.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the generating the notification message comprises:

querying the content access metric based on a plurality of user selected filter criteria; and

enabling the user to retrieve the content.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of user selected filter criteria includes filtering by a genre.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of user selected filter criteria includes an interrelationship between another user and the plurality of user selected filter criteria.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the enabling the user to retrieve the content further includes enabling the user to forward the notification message to another user within the group.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the notification message for the user includes a portion of the content access metric.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the determining the threshold metric for the user includes receiving a user generated value from the user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the compiling the content access metric includes communications occurring within an environment of the user.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the compiling the content access metric and delivering the notification message to the user result in providing a real time alert to the user.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

creating content access information, wherein the creating the content access information comprises measuring a number of users in a group accessing a content during a period of time, wherein the group comprises a plurality of users physically present within a specific geographic constraint during the period of time;

sending the content access information to an aggregating component;

receiving a content notification message from the aggregating component when a threshold value of the content access information is met for a user; and

displaying the content notification message to the user.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the creating content access information includes selecting a filter to modify compiled content access metrics based on a plurality of user selected filter criteria.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of user selected filter criteria includes filtering by a genre.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the creating content access information includes selecting a threshold value.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , further comprising:

enabling the user to retrieve the content; and

enabling the user to forward the content notification message to another person within the group.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the selecting the threshold value for a user includes receiving a user generated value from the user.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the displaying the content notification message to the user includes retrieving the content for the user.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the creating content access information includes communications occurring within an environment of the user.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

creating content access information, wherein the content access information includes a threshold value;

compiling content access metrics, wherein the compiling content access metrics comprises measuring a number of users within a group accessing a content during a period of time, wherein the group comprises a plurality of users physically present within a specific geographic constraint during the period of time;

determining when the content access metrics reach the threshold value;

creating a notification message for a user, wherein the notification message includes a portion of the content access metrics; and

delivering the notification message to the user.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the content access information is from the group.
