MAP BASED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH AND COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION
First Claim
1. A neighborhood communication system comprising:
- a privacy server to apply an address verification algorithm associated with each user of the online community to verify that each user lives at a residence associated with a claimable residential address of an online community formed through a social community module of the privacy server using a processor and a memory;
a network; and
a mapping server communicatively coupled with the privacy server through the network to generate a latitudinal data and a longitudinal data associated with each claimable residential address of the online community associated with each user of the online community,wherein the privacy server to automatically determine a set of access privileges in the online community associated with each user of the online community by constraining access in the online community based on a neighborhood boundary determined using a Bezier curve algorithm of the privacy server.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system of map based neighborhood search and community contribution are disclosed. In one embodiment, a neighborhood communication system is described. This embodiment includes a privacy server to apply an address verification algorithm associated with each user of the online community to verify that each user lives at a residence associated with a claimable residential address of an online community formed through a social community module of the privacy server using a processor and a memory. The privacy server automatically determines a set of access privileges in the online community associated with each user of the online community by constraining access in the online community based on a neighborhood boundary determined using an algorithm of the privacy server. The privacy server may constrain the particular user to communicate through the online community only with a set of neighbors having verified addresses using the privacy server.

25. A neighborhood communication system comprising:
-
a privacy server to apply an address verification algorithm associated with each user of the online community to verify that each user lives at a residence associated with a claimable residential address of an online community formed through a social community module of the privacy server using a processor and a memory; a network; and a mapping server communicatively coupled with the privacy server through the network to generate a latitudinal data and a longitudinal data associated with each claimable residential address of the online community associated with each user of the online community, wherein the privacy server to automatically determine a set of access privileges in the online community associated with each user of the online community by constraining access in the online community based on a neighborhood boundary determined using a Bezier curve algorithm of the privacy server, wherein the privacy server to transform the claimable residential address into a claimed address upon an occurrence of an event, wherein the privacy server to instantiate the event when a particular user is associated with the claimable residential address based on a verification of the particular user as living at a particular residential address associated with the claimable residential address using the privacy server, wherein the privacy server to constrain the particular user to communicate through the online community only with a set of neighbors having verified addresses using the privacy server, and wherein the privacy server to define the set of neighbors as other users of the online community that have each verified their addresses in the online community using the privacy server and which have each claimed residential addresses that are in a threshold radial distance from the claimed address of the particular user. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
