Abstract

Apparatus and methods are provided to implement a technique for using location information to identify and select movies or other content. In one implementation, an application for a device such as a smart phone or tablet computer uses location information to identify a movie that corresponds to the location, e.g., by fictional location or by where shots were filmed. Variations leverage the combination of user or target physical location and location information from a movie.
