Creating a projection of a situational network
First Claim
1. A method of creating a projection of a situational network, the method comprising:
- (a) establishing, by a first personal information aggregator, a connection with one or more other personal information aggregators based on an occurrence of a situation, each personal information aggregator corresponding to a node in a multi-dimensional personal information network;
(b) obtaining, by the first personal information aggregator, a geographic location for each of the one or more other personal information aggregators; and
(c) forming, by the first personal information aggregator, one or more projections of nodes of the multi-dimensional personal information network based on the geographic locations of each of the other personal information aggregators.

Abstract
A method of creating a projection of a situational network includes creating, by an event node server, an event node in a multi-dimensional personal information network, where the event node corresponds to a situation. A projection of nodes of the situational network is formed using geographic locations of a plurality of devices corresponding to nodes in the multi-dimensional personal information network. An invitation is transmitted to establish a link with the event node server to the devices corresponding to each node in the projection. A response is received from at least one of the devices accepting the invitation to establish a link with the event node server. A link with each device accepting the invitation is established.

6. A method of propagating information in a situational network, the method comprising:
-
(a) receiving by a second personal information aggregator from a first personal information aggregator, a message relating to a situation, the first and second personal information aggregators corresponding to nodes in a multi-dimensional personal information network; (b) automatically creating by the second personal information aggregator one or more projections of nodes of the multi-dimensional personal information network based on the situation; and (c) concurrently transmitting notifications to a set of third personal information aggregators corresponding to the nodes of the one or more projections, wherein each projection receives a different notification. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for propagating information within a situational network, the system comprising:
-
a first device configured to receive a message with information related to a situation, determine at least one subset of a plurality of second devices to receive notifications corresponding to the situation, wherein the notifications include the message, generate a different notification for each of the at least one subset of the second devices, and concurrently transmit, via the situational network, the different notifications to the at least one subset of the second devices, wherein each of the second devices is configured to receive, via the situational network, one of the different notifications from the first device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
