Artist tour generation

Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer-readable storage mediums for determining tour locations are disclosed. Users are provided access to items of an online marketplace of a first user. Data is received from the first user that includes a request to determine a tour location of a tour. User accesses to the items of the online marketplace are monitored. Based at least on the monitored user accesses, values for candidate locations are determined. One of the candidate locations are selected based at least on the determined values of the candidate locations. The selected location of the candidate locations may be provided to the first user.

         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data received from the first user further includes geographic parameters, the location selector module being configured to select the selected one of the candidate locations in accordance with the geographic parameters. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tour generator interface is further configured to provide, to the plurality of users, rankings including at least one of the candidate locations or the plurality of users, the rankings being based on the values determined from the user accesses. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user accesses include at least one of streaming media content, downloading media content, purchasing physical merchandise, sharing the online marketplace with one or more contacts, or pre-ordering a ticket for one of the candidate locations. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the monitor module is configured to monitor the user accesses by at least:
 receiving, from a second client device of a second user, a user request to access a selected one of the items of the online marketplace; and   in response to receiving the user request, determining a locale of the second user, the determining of the values of the candidate locations being based at least on the request and the locale.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tour generator interface is configured to provide, responsive to the receiving of the data, notifications to one or more users of the plurality of users, the notification providing an indication that a tour generation process has been initiated. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the location selector module is configured to determine the values of the candidate locations by at least:
 matching the user accesses to respective candidate locations;   computing respective values of the user accesses; and   combining the computed values of the user accesses matched to corresponding candidate locations.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the location selector module is configured to select the one of the candidate locations by at least:
 determining selection parameters based on the data received from the first client device of the first user; and   ranking the candidate locations based on the determined values of the candidate locations, the selecting of the selected on of the candidate locations being based on the ranking of the candidate tour locations and based on the determined selection parameters.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tour generator interface is further configured to provide a reward to at least a selected user of the plurality of users based on the values determined from user accesses. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data received from the first user includes a specified number of tickets reserved for purchase by users of the plurality of users that have locales matched to the selected candidate location. 
     
     
         13 . A method for tour generation, the method comprising:
 providing, to a plurality of users, access to items of an online marketplace of a first user of the plurality of users;   receiving, from a first client device of the first user, data including a request to determine a tour location of a tour;   monitoring, using one or more computer processors, user accesses to the items of the online marketplace;   determining values for candidate locations based at least on the monitored user accesses;   selecting one of the candidate locations based at least on the determined values of the candidate locations; and   providing, to the first user, the selected location of the candidate locations.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 comparing the determined values for the candidate locations to a threshold included by the data, wherein the selecting of the one of the candidate locations is responsive to the value of the selected one of the candidate locations being greater than the threshold.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the data received from the first user further includes geographic parameters, the selection of the selected one of the candidate locations being in accordance with the geographic parameters. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising providing, to the plurality of users, rankings of at least one of the candidate locations or the plurality of users, the rankings being based on the values determined from the user accesses. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the determining of the values of the candidate locations comprising:
 matching the user accesses to respective candidate locations;   computing respective values of the user accesses; and   combining the computed values of the user accesses matched to corresponding candidate locations.   
     
     
         18 . A machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
 providing, to a plurality of users, access to items of an online marketplace of a first user of the plurality of users;   receiving, from a first client device of the first user, data including a request to determine a tour location of a tour;   monitoring, using one or more computer processors, user accesses to the items of the online marketplace;   determining values for candidate locations based at least on the monitored user accesses;   selecting one of the candidate locations based at least on the determined values of the candidate locations; and   providing, to the first user, the selected location of the candidate locations.   
     
     
         19 . The machine-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , further embodying instructions that, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
 comparing the determined values for the candidate locations to a threshold included by the data, wherein the selecting of the one of the candidate locations is responsive to the value of the selected one of the candidate locations being greater than the threshold.
