SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCATION BASED SOCIAL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, over a network, from a first user, a first request for a creation of a social networking space, the first request comprising a geospatial location, a start time, and an end time;
creating, using a computing device, a social networking space based on the request, the social networking space comprising facilities for posting messages visible to users signed into the social networking space;
receiving, over the network, a second request from a second user to sign into the social networking space, such that the second request is transmitted from a mobile device associated with the second user;
verifying, using the computing device, that a first current time falls between the start time and the end time;
verifying, using the computing device, that a first current geospatial position of the mobile device is within the geospatial location; and
in response to verifying the first current time and the first current geospatial position, signing, using the computing device, the second user into the social networking space.

Abstract
A first request for a creation of a social networking space is received, over a network, from a first user. The first request comprises a geospatial location, a start time, and an end time. A social networking space is creating, using a computing device, based on the request. The social networking space comprises facilities for posting messages visible to users signed into the social networking space. A second request is received, over the network, from second user to sign into the social networking space. The second request is transmitted from a mobile device associated with the second user. It is verified, using the computing device, that a first current time falls between the start time and the end time. It is further verified, using the computing device, that a first current geospatial position of the mobile device is within the geospatial location. In response to verifying the first current time and the first current geospatial position, the second user is signed into the social networking space.

29. Computer-readable storage media for tangibly storing thereon computer-readable instructions for a method comprising:
-
receiving, over a network, from a first user, a first request for a creation of a social networking space, the first request comprising a geospatial location, a start time, and an end time creating a social networking space based on the request, the social networking space comprising facilities for posting messages visible to users signed into the social networking space; receiving, over the network, a second request from a second user to sign into the social networking space, such that the second request is transmitted from a mobile device associated with the second user; verifying that a first current time falls between the start time and the end time; verifying that a first current geospatial position of the mobile device is within the geospatial location; and in response to verifying the first current time and the first current geospatial position, signing the second user into the social networking space. - View Dependent Claims (30)
