Application and device to memorialize and share events geographically
A method and device of sharing an event or experience by capturing a geographic location of the and at least one detail of the experience or event in the form of data such as video, text, sound, or pictures, with an electronic device, storing the geographic location plus the data on a database accessible to a plurality of users. The application further alerts a user or a plurality of users of the details of the experience when the user is near the geographic location where the at least one detail of the experience was captured and guiding the user to the geographic location where the experience was captured.
1. A computer-implemented method of sharing an experience, the method comprising steps of:
receiving, by a server, from an electronic device of a data-creating user:
at least one detail of the data-creating user's personal experience;
a geographic location of the electronic device associated with the data-creating user's personal experience; and
a future event notification trigger created by the data-creating user via the electronic device of the data-creating user;
after the step of receiving, storing, by the server, on a database associated with the server, the geographic location of the electronic device, the at least one detail of the data-creating user's personal experience, and the future event notification trigger; and
after the steps of receiving and storing, communicating, by the server, at a date indicated by the stored future event notification trigger, to an electronic device of at least one second user indicated by the stored future event notification trigger, the at least one detail of the data-creating user's experience.
2. The computer-implemented method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the step of communicating further includes:
automatically communicating, by the server, at the date indicated by the stored future event notification trigger, to the electronic device of the at least one second user indicated by the stored future event notification trigger, the at least one detail of the data-creating user's personal experience.
3. The computer-implemented method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one detail is formed as at least one of a textual description, a photograph, an audio file, and a video file.
4. The computer-implemented method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the step of communicating further includes:
as a result of receiving a geographic location of the electronic device of the at least one second user and determining that the geographic location of the electronic device of the at least one second user is within a preset distance from the stored geographic location of the electronic device of the data-creating user, automatically communicating, by the server, at the date indicated by the stored future event notification trigger, to the electronic device of the at least one second user, the at least one detail of the data-creating user's experience.
5. The computer-implemented method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the date indicated by the stored future event notification trigger is associated with at least one of a birthday and an anniversary.
6. The computer-implemented method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one second user includes a plurality of users, each with remote access, via their respective electronic devices, to the server and the database associated with the server.
