Abstract:
A method of defining a set of parameters for a user computing device in a geographic location system includes receiving, through a user interface on the user device, a signal activating a share profile, wherein a share profile comprises a pre-defined set of parameters for operation of the system with regard to the user device, presenting, on the user interface, options to allow the user to define the share profile, wherein the options include location sharing, profile sharing, and activation, and receiving, from the user device, a set of parameters, wherein the set of parameters define how the geographic location system interacts with the user device while that share profile is active. A method of employing geotags in a geographic location system including monitoring positions of users in the geographic location system, determining when a user is near at least one geotag, determining if the at least one geotag can be sent to a device of the user, and sending a notification to the device of the user when the geotag can be sent to the user.
