Location-Based Topic Initiation via Geospatial Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional social media technologies lack a community service that allows users to establish location-based topics, limiting the ability to interact and share content based on geographic locations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for initiating a location-based topic via a graphical user interface, where users can input geographic information and topic content, with the system correlating these topics to user IDs and geographic information, and providing links to relevant digital contents within a geographic range, allowing users to browse and interact with location-based topics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional social media platforms collect activity data and recommend audiovisual contents based on user interests, then user stickiness increases, but the ability to establish location-based topics remains limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the social media functionality by separating location-based topic establishment from general content recommendation. It creates a dedicated location-based topic module that handles geographic information independently, allowing users to create location-specific topics while the system manages geographic data separately from user interest profiles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a location-based topic as an intermediary entity that connects users with geographic information. This topic structure serves as a mediator between user-generated content and location data, enabling interactions centered around specific locations without requiring complete restructuring of the social media platform.
2Ease of operation
If the system marks location-based topic links on user interface based on geographic information, then user interaction with location-based content improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the user interface universal by integrating location-based topic links into the existing social media interface framework. The same interface structure handles both traditional content feeds and location-based topics, allowing the system to serve multiple functions without creating separate complex interfaces for location-based interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating location-based topic links and marking them on the user interface based on detected geographic information. Users don't need to manually configure location settings or search for location-based content; the system automatically provides relevant location-based topics based on their current location or selected geographic area.

AI summary
A method and a system for initiating a location-based topic are provided. The system includes a serving system that allows a user to initiate the location-based topic within a social media and a graphical user interface initiated in a user device through a software means. The method allows the user to initiate a topic page when browsing digital contents in the social media via the graphical user interface. Besides being able to browse various location-based topics created by other users and the responses, the user himself can also create a location-based topic provided for other users to browse and respond to. Through web and computer technology, the serving system allows the user to browse the various digital contents via the social media and interact with other users through the various location-based topics.
