Systems and methods for creating user-managed online pages (MAPpages) linked to locations on an interactive digital map
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- at a server system;
receiving, from a client, a request to create a new MAPpage of a first type, wherein the first type is selected from a plurality of preexisting types including two or more preexisting types of MAPpages for information, products, and/or services;
creating the new MAPpage of the first type, wherein the new MAPpage is associated with a first physical location and the client, including uploading the new MAPpage of the first type to a platform containing MAPpages uploaded directly from content contributors, wherein the platform includes MAPpages of a second type, distinct from the first type, of the plurality of preexisting types;
indexing the new MAPpage to the first physical location on an interactive digital map, wherein the first physical location acts as a default address of the new MAPpage, and wherein the new MAPpage is not associated with a domain name on the World Wide Web (WWW); and
for each MAPpage associated with the client, enabling the client to associate the respective MAPpage with one or more physical locations, the one or more physical locations including the first physical location.

Abstract
Systems and methods are used to enable creating, searching, and managing user-managed online pages (e.g., MAPpages) linked to locations on an interactive digital map. In one aspect, the method includes, at a server system: receiving, from a client, a request to create a new MAPpage of a first type selected from a plurality of preexisting types; creating the new MAPpage of the first type associated with a first physical location and the client, uploading the new MAPpage to a platform containing MAPpages uploaded directly from content contributors; indexing the new MAPpage to the first physical location on an interactive digital map; and for each MAPpage associated with the client, enabling the client to associate the respective MAPpage with one or more physical locations, the one or more physical locations including the first physical location.

15. A server system comprising one or more processors and memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server system to:
-
receive, from a client, a request to create a new MAPpage of a first type, wherein the first type is selected from a plurality of preexisting types including two or more preexisting types of MAPpages for information, products and/or services; create the new MAPpage of the first type, wherein the new MAPpage is associated with a first physical location and the client, including uploading the new MAPpage of the first type to a platform containing MAPpages uploaded directly from content contributors, wherein the platform includes MAPpages of a second type, distinct from the first type, of the plurality of preexisting types; index the new MAPpage to the first physical location on an interactive digital map, wherein the first physical location acts as a default address of the new MAPpage, and wherein the new MAPpage is not associated with a domain name on the World Wide Web (WWW); and for each MAPpage associated with the client, enable the client to associate the respective MAPpage with one or more physical locations, the one or more physical locations including the first physical location.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by a server system, cause the server system to:
-
receive, from a client, a request to create a new MAPpage of a first type, wherein the first type is selected from a plurality of preexisting types including two or more preexisting types of MAPpages for information, products and/or services; create the new MAPpage of the first type, wherein the new MAPpage is associated with a first physical location and the client, including uploading the new MAPpage of the first type to a platform containing MAPpages uploaded directly from content contributors, wherein the platform includes MAPpages of a second type, distinct from the first type, of the plurality of preexisting types; index the new MAPpage to the first physical location on an interactive digital map, wherein the first physical location acts as a default address of the new MAPpage, and wherein the new MAPpage is not associated with a domain name on the World Wide Web (WWW); and for each MAPpage associated with the client, enable the client to associate the respective MAPpage with one or more physical locations, the one or more physical locations including the first physical location.
