An approach is provided for recognizing one or more people from media content and determining if the one or more people are associated with a social networking service. A request is received from a user equipment specifying a media content. Electronically processing of the media content to recognize one or more people is initiated. It is determined whether the one or more people are associated with a member account of a social networking service. A prompting of the user is initiated with an option based on the determination.

Method and apparatus for determining social networking relationships

A method including causing, at least in part, rendering of a perspective view showing one or more objects in a field of view. The method further including retrieving content associated with an object of the one or more objects in the field of view, and causing, at least in part, rendering of a graphic representation relating to the content on a surface of the object visible in the perspective view in a user interface for a location-based service of a mobile device.

Method and apparatus for rendering a perspective view of objects and content related thereto for location-based services on mobile device

A method including causing, at least in part, rendering of a user interface for a location-based service that simultaneously includes both a main view portion and a preview portion. One of the main view portion and the preview portion is caused, at least in part, to display a perspective view of one or more objects in a field of view, and the other of the main view portion and the preview portion is caused, at least in part, to display a plan view of at least a portion of the one or more objects in the field of view.

Method and apparatus for rendering user interface for location-based service having main view portion and preview portion

An approach is provided for displaying interactive preview information in a location-based user interface. A content mapping platform determines to render, at a device, a user interface for a location-based service based, at least in part, on a field of view. The content mapping platform determines one or more items outside of the field of view and then determines to render one or more user interface objects in the user interface. The one or more user interface objects present, at least in part, preview information associated with the one or more items.
