Abstract

Location information is used to build a database of locations having associated audio, video, image, or text data. In some implementations, a device includes a touch-sensitive display and collects data associated with a geographic location of interest. The geographic location of interest can be displayed on a map using an indicator. A touch selection of the indicator provides access to the data through an interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display. One or more locations of interest can be displayed and grouped together by an attribute.

Claims (49)

1. A method comprising:

determining, via a positioning system of an electronic device, a geographic location of the electronic device;

receiving, at the electronic device, a plurality of media items at the geographic location;

associating the plurality of media items with the geographic location;

in response to receiving, at the electronic device, input for an indication of a geographic location area of interest, retrieving and aggregating the plurality of media items associated with the geographic location; and

presenting the aggregated media items in succession on the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of media items comprises at least one of an image, a video recording, a note, map information, or an audio recordings.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the aggregated media items further comprises:

generating and presenting video data for playback with a compilation of the plurality of media items.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving input for the indication of the geographic location area of interest further comprises:

receiving a selection of the geographic location at a user interface object.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user interface object comprises at least one of a calendar object, a map object, a notes object, a navigation object, an email object, a web object, a media player object, or a map object.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving input for the indication of the geographic location area of interest further comprises:

receiving input for geographical location information.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

associating a media item from the plurality of media items with the geographic location by storing geographic position information with the media item.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes operations comprising:

determining, via a positioning system of an electronic device, a geographic location of the electronic device;

receiving, at the electronic device, a plurality of media items at the geographic location;

associating the plurality of media items with the geographic location;

in response to receiving, at the electronic device, input for an indication of a geographic location area of interest, retrieving and aggregating the plurality of media items associated with the geographic location; and

presenting the aggregated media items in succession on the electronic device.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of media items comprises at least one of an image, a video recording, a note, map information, or an audio recordings.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein presenting the aggregated media items further comprises:

generating and presenting video data for playback with a compilation of the plurality of media items.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein receiving input for the indication of the geographic location area of interest further comprises:

receiving a selection of the geographic location at a user interface object.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the user interface object comprises at least one of a calendar object, a map object, a notes object, a navigation object, an email object, a web object, a media player object, or a map object.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein receiving input for the indication of the geographic location area of interest further comprises:

receiving input for geographical location information.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

associating a media item from the plurality of media items with the geographic location by storing geographic position information with the media item.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processors;

a positioning system; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes operations comprising:

determining, via the positioning system of an electronic device, a geographic location of the electronic device;

receiving, at the electronic device, a plurality of media items at the geographic location;

associating the plurality of media items with the geographic location;

in response to receiving, at the electronic device, input for an indication of a geographic location area of interest, retrieving and aggregating the plurality of media items associated with the geographic location; and

presenting the aggregated media items in succession on the electronic device.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of media items comprises at least one of an image, a video recording, a note, map information, or an audio recordings.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein presenting the aggregated media items further comprises:

generating and presenting video data for playback with a compilation of the plurality of media items.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein receiving input for the indication of the geographic location area of interest further comprises:

receiving a selection of the geographic location at a user interface object.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the user interface object comprises at least one of a calendar object, a map object, a notes object, a navigation object, an email object, a web object, a media player object, or a map object.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein receiving input for the indication of the geographic location area of interest further comprises:

receiving input for geographical location information.
