Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to obtaining event reviews. In one embodiment a method includes receiving location data corresponding to a location of a device and receiving temporal data corresponding to a time when the device was at the location. The method also includes obtaining event information based on the location data and the temporal data, and generating a user interface on the device to permit reviews of an event associated with the event information. The method also includes generating one or more prompts based on the location data and the temporal data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving location data corresponding to a location of a device; receiving temporal data corresponding to a time that the device was at the location; receiving, from the device, search data for a search related to one or more items; obtaining item information based on the location data, the temporal data, and the search data, the item information identifying the one or more items; and generating a user interface on the device, wherein the user interface enables selection and review of an item of the one or more items.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes one or more prompts customized based on one or more of the location data, the temporal data, and the search data.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the location data corresponds to a commercial establishment and the one or more items are items available for purchase at the commercial establishment.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based on the location data, identifying a commercial establishment at the location; and correlating the search data with inventory data of the commercial establishment to determine the one or more items.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the item is one of a merchandise item, a menu item, and a movie.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the location data is determined from payment information associated with the device.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more prompts each include a respective example response customized using one or more of the location data, the temporal data, and the search data.

8 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more prompts are further customized based on a home location of the device.

9 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining, based on the location data and the temporal data, a duration that the device was at the location, and wherein the one or more prompts are further customized based on the duration that the device was at the location.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes thumbnail images of the one or more items.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor, the instructions causing the at least one processor to perform operations to obtain reviews of items, the operations comprising:
receiving location data corresponding to a location of a device; receiving temporal data corresponding to a time when the device was at the location; receiving a search from the device, the search including a search term; obtaining item information based on the location data, the temporal data, and the search, the item information identifying the one or more items; and generating a user interface on the device, wherein the user interface enables selection of an item of the one or more items and, upon selection of the item, enables review of the selected item.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the user interface includes one or more prompts customized based on one or more of the location data, the temporal data, and the search.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to perform further operations comprising:
determining the one or more items based on the search term.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein determining the one or more items based on the search term comprises:
based on the location data, identifying a commercial establishment; and correlating the search term with inventory data of the commercial establishment.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more prompts are further customized based on a duration that the device was at the location, and wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to perform further operations comprising determining, based on the location data and the temporal data, the duration that the device was at the location.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the location data corresponds to a commercial establishment and the one or more items are items available for purchase at the commercial establishment.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the user interface includes thumbnail images of the one or more items.

18 . A system to obtain reviews of events, comprising:
one or more processors; and logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to perform operations comprising:
receiving location data corresponding to a location of a device;
receiving temporal data corresponding to a time when the device was at the location;
receiving a search from the device, the search related to one or more items;
obtaining item information based on the location data, the temporal data, and the search, the item information identifying the one or more items; and
generating a user interface on the device, wherein the user interface enables review of the one or more items.

19 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more prompts are further customized based on a duration that the device was at the location, and wherein the logic when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising determining, based on the location data and the temporal data, the duration that the device was at the location.

20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the logic when executed is operable to perform further operations comprising:
identifying a commercial establishment based on the location data; and correlating the search with inventory data of the commercial establishment to determine the one or more items.
