ANALYZING AND VIEWING SOCIAL INTERACTIONS BASED ON PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
A system for analysis and viewing of social interactions based on user devices, comprising an analysis and geolocation platform stored and operating on a network-connected computing device, that receives social interaction information and analyzes the information, and a visualization engine stored and operating on a network-connected computing device that forms visual representations of the social interaction information, and a method for analysis and viewing of social interactions based on user devices.
1 . A system for analyzing and viewing social interactions based on user devices, comprising:
a geolocation and analytics server comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to receive information from a plurality of social media networks, the information comprising at least social interaction information pertaining to users of the social media network and a plurality of geolocation information; and
a visualization engine comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to produce a plurality of visual representations of analyzed social interaction information received from the geolocation and analytics server;
wherein the geolocation and analytics server analyzes received social interaction information;
wherein the geolocation and analytics server derives new information based at least in part on the results of the analysis;
wherein the geolocation and analytics server provides at least a portion of the received and derived social interaction information to the visualization engine;
wherein the visualization engine produces a plurality of visual representations based at least in part on the received information; and
wherein the visualization engine presents at least a portion of the visual representations to a human user for review.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the geolocation information comprises metadata associated with a social media post.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the connected resources comprise at least a plurality of user devices.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the analytics and geolocation platform further comprises a software API; wherein the API is integrated into software operating on a user device and configured to facilitate two-way communication between the user device and the geolocation and analytics server.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the geolocation information comprises at least location sensor information from a user device.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the connected resources comprise at least a plurality of social media networks.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the analytics and geolocation platform further comprises a software web crawler configured to retrieve information from the plurality of social media networks.
8 . A method for analyzing and viewing social interactions based on user devices, comprising the steps of:
receiving, at a geolocation and analytics server comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to receive information from a plurality of social media networks, the information comprising at least social interaction information pertaining to users of the social media network and a plurality of geolocation information, social interaction information;
analyzing the information;
updating the information with location-based information based at least in part on the analysis results; and
storing at least a portion of the information for future reference.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising the steps of:
receiving, at a visualization engine comprising at least a plurality of software programming instructions stored in a memory of and operating on a processor of a computing device, configured to produce a plurality of visual representations of analyzed social interaction information received from the geolocation and analytics server, at least the social interaction information;
generating a visual representation based at least in part on the information received; and
providing the visual representation to a human user for review.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising the step of storing the visual representation for future reference.
