Abstract

There are provided contextual image presentation systems and methods. Such a system includes a hardware processor and a system memory having stored therein a contextual image generator including a data mapping module and a data visualization module. The contextual image generator receives social media data describing social media posts, determines a geographical location corresponding to at least some of the social media posts, and identifies a subject category corresponding respectively to each of the social media posts. In addition, the contextual image generator groups the social media posts into social media collections based on at least one of the subject category and the geographical location corresponding to each social media post. The contextual image generator further generates a contextual image that visually associates at least one of the social media collections with the subject category and/or the geographical location used to group that social media collection.

Background

BACKGROUND

Social media use continues to grow as established social media communities attract an ever wider membership and as new social media communities arise and are embraced by early adopters. As a result, a typical social media user may access multiple social media platforms, and may engage with multiple virtual communities of friends or contacts that only partially overlap between alternative platforms. Moreover, each platform and each virtual community provides its own stream of communications, such as news feeds, status updates, commentary, and the like, much of which may be substantively redundant between platforms. Consequently, the identification of information that is fresh, popular across one or more virtual communities, and of genuine interest to the social media user, can be a burdensome and sometimes frustrating undertaking, and may detract from the pleasure of social media participation.SUMMARY

There are provided systems and methods for contextual image presentation, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.

Claims

21. A contextual image presentation system comprising: a hardware processor and a system memory having stored therein a contextual image generator, wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the contextual image generator to: receive social media data describing social media posts; identify a plurality of subject categories each corresponding respectively to at least one of the social media posts; group the social media posts into social media collections based on a respective one of the plurality of subject categories corresponding to each of the social media posts; generate a contextual image that visually associates at least one of the social media collections with the respective one of the plurality of subject categories used to group the at least one of the social media collections, wherein the contextual image labels the respective one of the plurality of subject categories; and display the contextual image to a system user. 31. A method for use by a contextual image presentation system including a hardware processor and a system memory having a contextual image generator stored therein, the method comprising: receiving, using the hardware processor, social media data describing social media posts; identifying, using the hardware processor, a plurality of subject categories each corresponding respectively to at least one of the social media posts; grouping, using the hardware processor, the social media posts into social media collections based on a respective one of the plurality of subject categories corresponding to each of the social media posts; generating, using the hardware processor, a contextual image that visually associates at least one of the social media collections with the respective one of the plurality of subject categories used to group the at least one of the social media collections, wherein the contextual image labels the respective one of the plurality of subject categories; and display, using the hardware processor, the contextual image to a system user.
