Direct mailing in a geo-spatial environment
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 and at least one contact address;
associating a first user with a first user profile of the user profiles;
selecting a mail mode;
selecting a communication;
generating a first display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network, at least a portion of the user profiles represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic location of the first user profile of the user profiles;
selecting a second user profile from the at least a portion of the user profiles; and
generating a mailing of the communication, in a format associated with the mail mode, between the first user profile of the user profiles and the contact address associated with the second user profile of the user profiles, wherein the contact address is based on the mail mode.

Abstract
A method and system of direct mailing in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a community network of user profiles, each user profile associated with a specific geographic location and at least one contact address, associating a first user with a first user profile, selecting a mail mode, selecting a communication, generating a first display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by the community network, at least a portion of the user profiles represented at a location in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic location of the first user profile, selecting a second user profile from the portion of the user profiles, and generating a mailing of the communication, in a format associated with the mail mode, between the first user profile and the contact address associated with the second user profile.

18. 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 and a contact address; a map module of the geo-spatial environment to include map data which serves as a basis to render a three-dimensional map view in the geo-spatial environment which identifies at least some residences, businesses, and civic structures having specific geographic locations; a mail mode module of the geo-spatial environment to determine a mail mode; a communication module of the geo-spatial environment to select a communication; a display module of the geo-spatial environment to generate a first display view to include a three-dimensional map view embodied by a community network, at least a portion of the user profiles represented at locations in the three-dimensional map view associated with the specific geographic locations of the at least a portion of the user profiles; a recipient module of the geo-spatial environment to select a user profile from the at least a portion of the user profiles; and a mail communication module of the geo-spatial environment to generate a mailing of the communication, in a format associated with the mail mode, to a contact address associated with the user profile of the user profiles. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34)

31. A geo-spatial environment, comprising:
-
a first instruction set to enable a community network, to include a map database associated with map data and 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 contact address; a second instruction set integrated with the first instruction set to display a three-dimensional map view, embodied by the community network, to include representations of at least a portion of the user profiles, wherein each representation of a user profile of the at least a portion of the user profiles is displayed at a location in the three-dimensional map view corresponding to the specific geographic location associated with the user profile; a third instruction set integrated with the first instruction set and the second instruction set to determine a second user profile of the at least a portion of the user profiles, a communication, and a mail mode; and a fourth instruction set integrated with the first instruction set and the second instruction set and the third instruction set to generate a mailing of the communication, in a format associated with the mail mode, to the contact address associated with the second user profile of the user profiles, wherein the contact address is based on the mail mode. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33)
