BUSINESS REVIEWS CLAIMING IN A GEO-SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- applying a logic function of a processor in a manner such that the processor operates using a memory to perform functions including;
generating a community network of user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles to include an associated specific geographic location of a user, at least a portion of the specific geographic location is associated with at least one business;
associating a first user with a first user profile of the user profiles having a specific geographic location associated with the business at the specific geographic location;
enabling the first user to claim ownership of the first user profile; and
generate for the first user a promotion-related activity associated with the business at the specific geographic location after the first user claims ownership of the first user profile.

Abstract
A method, system and apparatus of business reviews claiming in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a community network of user profiles, each user profile to include an associated specific geographic location of the user, at least a portion of the specific geographic locations associated with a business, associating a first user with a first user profile having a specific geographic location associated with a business at the specific geographic location, enabling the first user to claim the first user profile (e.g., may include verifying an email address, a business license, and/or a utility bill), and generating for the first user a promotion-related activity associated with the business at the specific geographic location after the first user claims ownership of the first user profile.

9. A computer implemented system, comprising:
a geographic community environment; a community network algorithm of the geographic community environment, the community network algorithm to include user profiles, each user profile of the user profiles to include an associated specific geographic location, at least a portion of the specific geographic locations associated with at least one of a business and a residence; a map algorithm of the geographic community environment to include map data which serve as a basis to render a map view which identifies at least some physical structures having specific geographic locations; a claim algorithm of the geographic community environment to enable a first user to claim a first user profile of the user profiles having a specific geographic location associated with a business; a display algorithm of the geographic community environment to generate a display view of the map view embodied by the community network and the first user profile of the user profiles represented at a location in the map view associated with the specific geographic location of the first user profile of the user profiles; and a transaction algorithm of the geographic community environment to generate for the first user a promotion-related activity associated with the business at the specific geographic location after the first user claims ownership of the first user profile. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A geographic community environment, comprising:
-
a first instruction set to enable a community network, to include a user database to include user profiles, the community network associated with map data, in which the community network is associated with specific geographic locations identifiable in the map data and at least a portion of the specific geographic locations associated with at least one of a business and a residence; a second instruction set integrated with the first instruction set to enable a user to claim ownership of a user profile of the user profiles having a specific geographic location associated with a business; and a third instruction set integrated with the first instruction set and the second instruction set to generate for the user a promotion-related activity associated with the business at the specific geographic location after the first user claims ownership of the first user profile. - View Dependent Claims (24)
