Abstract:

Social networks may include computers which cause information to be displayed on maps. A computer may receive temporal and geographic data comprising a location and a moment in time linked to one another, and the temporal and geographic data being associated with an icon linked to a position on a map. The computer may receive a command to filter the icon based on a period of time. The computer may cause a portion of the map to be displayed and the icon to be displayed at the linked position on the portion of the map when the moment in time is within the time period and the location is within the portion of the map. The computer may determine that the icon is not to be displayed when the moment in time is not within the time period and/or the location is not within the portion of the map.
