Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a terminal, a first command from a first user at time T creating, by the terminal, a journal entry for the location-of-interest at time T receiving, by the terminal, a second command from the first user, wherein the second command subscribes the location-of-interest of the journal entry to one of a first service and a second service; transmitting, by the terminal, the journal entry to a data-processing system, wherein the data-processing system updates an electronic journal based on the journal entry; receiving, by the terminal, when the subscription is to the first service, a second media type from the data-processing system when a current geo-location of the terminal is within a predefined distance of the location-of-interest of the journal entry; and receiving, by the terminal, when the subscription is to the second service, the second media type from the data-processing system regardless of whether the current geo-location is or is not within the predefined distance of the location-of-interest of the journal entry; wherein the second media type is created by a second user in response to being notified by the data-processing system that: (i) the first user has updated the electronic journal, and (ii) the first user has authorized the second user to create the second media type for the location-of-interest; wherein the second media type is a reminder for the first user to complete a task at the location-of-interest; wherein the first command at time T wherein marking the map establishes a persistent, virtual presence of the first user at the location-of-interest such that the terminal automatically and periodically receives the second media type from the data-processing system when the location-of-interest is subscribed to the second service.
