example 1

[0457] Example 1: A system comprising:

[0458] one or more computer processors; and

[0459] One or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more computer processors and having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors configure the one or more a computer processor to perform operations including the following:

[0460] maintaining a separate per-user access control list (ACL) for each of the plurality of users of the social media platform, the list listing the associated user's set of visible users, the set of visible users being the social media platform's a plurality of other users, the associated user has the right to view the respective geographic locations of the plurality of other users;

[0461]receiving a request for location-based social media activity information from a user device associated with the requesting user to cause display on the user device of a map-based graphical user interface (GUI) for the soc...

example 2

[0466] Example 2: The system of example 1, wherein each per-user ACL indicates a respective location display granularity level for an associated set of visible users, thereby indicating that each user in the set of visible users is separately represented by two or more A corresponding one of a plurality of different display granularity levels is visible to the requesting user.

example 3

[0467] Example 3: The system of Example 2, wherein the two or more different levels of display granularity include:

[0468] a level of fine-grained viewing at which the displayed location of each user substantially corresponds to the actual location of a user device associated with said respective user; and

[0469] An area view level under which the displayed location of each user is different from the actual location, but within the defined geographic area in which the actual location is located.

Abstract

A server system for a map-based social media platform maintains user location information to enable the rendering of friend icons on a map at a corresponding display locations. The system maintains aper user access control list (ACL) that lists all users whose icons can be viewed by a requesting user. The ACL can include a designation of respective display granularity levels for different friendusers.
