Disclosed herein are methods and systems for associating contextual information with data identifying a geographic location. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a communication originating from the geographic location may be received at a computing device. In response to receiving the communication originating from the geographic location, the contextual information may be presented to the user.
1 . A method comprising:
associating contextual information with data identifying a geographic location;
receiving a communication originating from the geographic location; and
in response to receiving the communication originating from the geographic location, presenting the contextual information to a user.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the contextual information comprises user-specified information.
3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising generating data based on the communication,
wherein the contextual information comprises the generated data.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein associating contextual information with data identifying a geographic location comprises associating at least one of text, video, audio, and image data with the data identifying the geographic location, and
wherein presenting the contextual information to the user comprises presenting the at least one of text, video, audio, and image data to the user.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein associating contextual information with data identifying a geographic location comprises receiving user input that specifies the geographic location and the contextual information.
6 . The method of claim 5 further comprising displaying a graphical map including a representation of the geographic location, and
wherein receiving user input that specifies the geographic location comprises receiving user input for selecting the representation of the geographic location.
7 . The method of claim 5 wherein receiving user input that specifies the geographic location comprises receiving user input that specifies at least one of a coordinate and area of the geographic location.
8 . The method of claim 1 wherein receiving the communication originating from the geographic location comprises receiving at least one of a telephone call, an email, a text message, and an instant message from a source located at the geographic location.
9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving information identifying the geographic location from where the communication originated.
10 . The method of claim 9 further comprising:
determining whether the communication originated from the geographic location using the data identifying the geographic location and the information identifying the geographic location from where the communication originated; and
in response to determining that the communication originated from the geographic location, presenting the contextual information to the user.
11 . A method comprising
determining a geographic location of a computing device;
associating contextual information with data identifying the geographic location;
receiving a communication originating from the geographic location; and
in response to receiving the communication originating from the geographic location, presenting the contextual information to a user.
12 . The method of claim 11 wherein the contextual information comprises user-specified information.
13 . The method of claim 11 further comprising generating data based on the communication,
wherein the contextual information comprises the generated data.
14 . The method of claim 11 wherein associating contextual information with data identifying a geographic location comprises associating at least one of text, video, audio, and image data with the geographic location, and
wherein presenting the contextual information to the user comprises presenting the at least one of text, video, audio, and image data to the user.
15 . The method of claim 11 wherein associating contextual information with data identifying a geographic location comprises receiving user input that specifies the geographic location and the contextual information.
16 . The method of claim 11 further comprising displaying a graphical map including a representation of the geographic location, and
wherein receiving user input that specifies the geographic location comprises receiving user input that selects the representation of the geographic location.
17 . The method of claim 16 wherein receiving user input that specifies the geographic location comprises receiving user input that specifies at least one of a coordinate and area of the geographic location.
18 . The method of claim 11 wherein receiving the communication originating from the geographic location comprises receiving at least one of a telephone call, an email, a text message, and an instant message from a source located at the geographic location.
19 . The method of claim 11 further comprising receiving information identifying the geographic location from where the communication originated.
20 . The method of claim 11 wherein a user-specified communication rule specifies a mode of notifying the user about a communication originating from the geographic location, and
wherein the method further comprises notifying the user of the communication on the computing device in accordance with the specified mode.
