Notifications in a geo-spatial social network
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- generating a community network of user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles associated with a specific geographic location;
generating a display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network and a user profile of the user profiles represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic location of the user profile of the user profiles; and
upon an occurrence of an event, generating a notification associated with the user profile of the user profiles.

Abstract
A method, system and apparatus of notifications in a geo-spatial social network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a community network of user profiles, each user profile associated with a specific geographic location, generating a display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network and a user profile represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic location of the user profile, and upon an occurrence of an event, generating a notification associated with the user profile. The method may also include generating the notification upon the occurrence of an event including creating, updating, modifying, moving and/or deleting the user profile, adding a wiki profile associated with the user profile, modifying and/or adding content associated with the wiki profile. The method may further include generating the notification intended for a destination and generating types of notifications.

14. A system, comprising:
a geo-spatial environment; a community network module of the geo-spatial environment, to include user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles to include a specific geographic location; a notification generation module to generate, upon an occurrence of an event associated with at least one user profile of the user profiles, notifications; a notification receipt module to receive, by at least one destination associated with at least one user profile of the user profiles, at least one notification of the notifications; a map module of the geo-spatial environment to include map data which serve as a basis to render a three-dimensional map view in the geo-spatial environment which identifies at least some physical structures having specific geographic locations; and a display module of the geo-spatial environment to generate a display view of the three-dimensional map view embodied by a community network and a user profile of the user profiles represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic location of the user profile of the user profiles. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A geo-spatial environment, comprising:
-
a first instruction set to enable a community network, to include a map database associated with map data, a user database associated with user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles associated with a specific geographic location identifiable in the map data, and a notification database associated with notifications, each notification of the notifications associated with a user profile of the user profiles; a second instruction set integrated with the first instruction set to generate upon an occurrence of an event associated with a user profile, a notification associated with the user profile of the user profiles; and first instruction set and the second instruction set to display a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network, the user profile of the user profiles, and simultaneously to represent other user profiles adjacent to the user profile of the user profiles in the three-dimensional map view, wherein the user profile of the user profiles is displayed at a location in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic location of the user profile. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
