Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for recommending photogenic locations, the method comprising: identifying, by one or more computing devices, a plurality of photogenic locations by clustering a plurality of photographs based on geographic proximity to form a plurality of geographic photo clusters, each geographic photo cluster being associated with one of the plurality of photogenic locations; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, after identifying the plurality of photogenic locations, a signal indicative of a geographic location at which a client device is located; determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether the geographic location is within a threshold distance from at least one of the plurality of photogenic locations; and transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, a prompt to the client device when the geographic location is within the threshold distance from at least one of the plurality of photogenic locations, the prompt indicating the existence of the at least one photogenic location that is within the threshold distance from the geographic location.
