Abstract

Alternative computer based systems and methods are provided for mobile device, mobile banking, server and/or cloud based internet access to a geospatial website for a multidimensional representation of information and/or scalable versions of web content that comprises social networking and/or socially conscious information and/or activities, digital coupons and discounts, and multi-dimensional and scalable geospatial mapping associated with entities providing and/or members of the coupons and/or social networking.

Claims

1. A method for providing a combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking, through controlling access to advertisement in a network, comprising:

(a) electronically assigning an identifier to a client mobile device or computer receiving a request from a client application operating on the client mobile device or computer

to access a website that offers a combination of digital coupons, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking,

the request including the identifier assigned to the client computer,

where access to a digital coupon associated with one or more products or services of said company,

said digital coupon having an access limit, the access limit comprising a number of times that the client mobile device computer is permitted to access the digital coupon;

(b) electronically providing through said website access mobile device or computer to a combination of digital coupons, products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking;

(c) electronically monitoring and analyzing the type of information accessed by the client mobile device or computer

to determine one or more of preferred locations, interests, preferences, or networking interests or connections, types of products or services, and marketing interests; and

(d) electronically providing, based on said monitoring and analyzing in step (c), the client mobile device or computer with access to customized webpages comprising

selected types of digital coupons, types of products or services, discounts, geospatial maps, company product or service information, and social networking activities, including plugins, advertisements and online communications in social networks,

relevant to said type of information accessed by the client mobile device or computer related to preferred locations, feeds, interests, plugins, applications, blogs, chat rooms, preferences, social networking interests or connections, types of products or services, and marketing interests.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of electronically providing the client computer or mobile device with access to the coupon or discount is implemented by printing the coupon or discount form.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein step (d) comprises electronically sending to the client computer or mobile device said digital coupons or discounts if the access limit for such digital coupon or discount has not been exceeded.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier assigned to the client computer or mobile device is not a user identification and is not an internet protocol address.

13. A method according to claim 1, wherein said information further comprises socially conscious information.

5. An electronic system for providing a combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking, through controlling access to advertisement in a network, comprising:

(a) a system component for electronically assigning an identifier to a client mobile device or computer receiving a request from a client application operating on the client computer to access a website that offers

a combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking activities, including preferred location, feeds, interests, plugins, applications, blogs, chat rooms, advertisements and communications,

the request including the identifier assigned to the client mobile device or computer,

where access to a digital coupon associated with one or more products or services of said company,

said digital coupon, product or service, having an access limit, the access limit comprising a number of times that the client mobile device or computer is permitted to access the digital coupon, product or service;

(b) a system component for electronically providing through said website access

to a combination of digital coupons, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking activities, including preferred location, feeds, interests, plugins, applications, blogs, chat rooms, advertisements and communications;

(c) a system component for electronically monitoring and analyzing the type of information accessed by the client mobile device or computer

to determine one or more of preferred locations, interests, preferences, or networking interests or connections, types of products or services, and marketing interests; and

(d) a system component for electronically providing, based on said monitoring and analyzing in step (c), the client mobile device or computer with access to customized webpages comprising

selected types of digital coupons, discounts, geospatial maps, company product or service information, and social networking

relevant to said type of information accessed by the client computer related to preferred locations, feeds, interests, plugins, preferences, or networking interests or connections, types of products or services, and marketing interests.

6. A system according to claim 5, configured to be partially operated on a server.

7. A system according to claim 5, configured to be partially operated on a client computing device.

14. A method according to claim 5, wherein said information further comprises socially conscious information.

8. A method in a mobile device or computer system for providing access to geospatial information system data accessible over a network relating to a combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking, comprising

a. electronically receiving a request for geospatial data associated with a geospatial map tile;

b. electronically determining whether a geospatial attribute value associated with the geospatial map tile is

related to said combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking activities, including preferred location, feeds, interests, plugins, applications, blogs, chat rooms, advertisements and communications;

c. electronically assigning an identifier to a client mobile device or computer receiving a request from a client application operating on the client mobile device or computer

to access a website that offers said combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking activities, including preferred location, feeds, interests, plugins, applications, blogs, chat rooms, advertisements and communications,

the request including the identifier assigned to the client mobile device or computer,

where access to a digital coupon associated with one or more products or services of said company,

said digital coupon having an access limit, the access limit comprising a number of times that the client mobile device or computer is permitted to access the digital coupon;

d. electronically providing through said website access to a combination of digital coupons, types of products or services, geospatial mapping, coupon related company or local information with social networking;

e. electronically monitoring and analyzing the type of information accessed by the client mobile device or computer

to determine one or more of preferred locations, feeds, interests, preferences, networking interests or connections, types of products or services, and marketing interests and social networking activities, including preferred location, feeds, interests, plugins, applications, blogs, chat rooms, advertisements and communications;

f. electronically providing, based on said monitoring and analyzing in step (c), the client mobile device or computer with access to customized webpages
