Abstract

A method and a system for providing a location-based content-linking icon based on a discussion content category, and a computer-readable recording medium are provided. The system includes a server having a database and a linking-icon library. When the server receives location data from a user device, a geographic range can be determined. After querying the database according to the geographic range, one or more location-based contents correlated with a geographic location within the geographic range can be obtained. Afterwards, the linking-icon library is queried for obtaining the location-based content-linking icon that is used to be marked at the geographic location on a graphical user interface according to the category of the one or more location-based contents. The location-based content-linking icon is dynamically updated when the category of the one or more location-based contents is changed.
