Abstract

A system for providing a geographic location based information having a server which comprises a transceiver which is operated to receive a request for the geographic location based information of the plurality of people and a processor to locate, to determine a count, to represent the count as a pair of counters in a plurality of blocks and update the count at each counter. A user interface is configured to display the plurality of blocks with the pair of counters. The cloud server dynamically stores/updates user settings and interests of all network devices, stores advertisers static locations and updates ads based off users inputs and populates stored information on universal map shared by all users and also receives request to filter user'"'"'s map by a Label and determines all users in viewing window of map that have that Label saved in their profiles and then sends results to the user.

Claims

1. A method for providing a geographic location based information of a plurality of people on a network, the method comprising:

(a) configuring a server to provide the geographic location based information of the plurality of people;

(b) operating a transceiver to receive a request for the geographic location based information of the plurality of people;

(c) locating the plurality of people at the plurality of locations based on the received geographic location by a processor;

(d) determining a count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on a demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by the processor;

(e) representing the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations as a pair of counters in each of a plurality of blocks based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by the processor;

(f) updating a count of the plurality of people at each counter in each of the plurality of blocks based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by the processor;

(g) storing information and instructions to a memory for execution by the processor;

(h) receiving the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by at least one electronic device having a user interface being coupled through the network to the server; and

(i) displaying the plurality of blocks with the pair of counters using the user interface.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the method allows displaying advertisement banners at a bottom portion of a map depending on a user'"'"'s interest.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the method allows the user to choose specific interest and enables the user to update the map of others on the network.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the method determines the ratio of males and females using the pair of counters in each of the plurality of blocks.

5. A system for providing a geographic location based information of a plurality of people on a network, the system comprising:

a server being configured to provide the geographic location based information of the plurality of people, the server comprising;

a transceiver being operated to receive a request for the geographic location based information of the plurality of people;

a processor being configured to;

locate the plurality of people at a plurality of locations based on the received geographic location;

determine a count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on a demographic characteristic of the plurality of people;

represent the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations as a pair of counters in a plurality of blocks based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people; and

update the count of the plurality of people at each counter in each block of the plurality of blocks based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people; and

a memory being operated to store information and instructions for execution by the processor; and

at least one electronic device having a user interface being coupled through the network to the server adaptable to receive the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people, the user interface being configured to display the plurality of blocks with the pair of counters;

whereby the count of the plurality of people is dynamically updated based on each of the plurality of locations and the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein the system comprises a plurality of blocks in a viewing window including a pair of counters within each of the plurality of blocks which dynamically update with current number of people/users in the viewing window while moving across a map.

7. The system of claim 5 wherein each of the plurality of blocks determine the number of males and females within a given area and each of the pair of counters within each of the plurality of blocks determines the number of males and females.

8. The system of claim 5 wherein the plurality of blocks is configured to protect the anonymity of the plurality of people and a plurality of locations of the plurality of people.

9. The system of claim 5 wherein the pair of counters provides the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people.

10. A system for providing a geographic location based information of a plurality of people on a network based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people, the system comprising:

a server being configured to provide the geographic location based information of the plurality of people, the server comprising;

a transceiver being operated to receive a request for the geographic location based information of the plurality of people;

a processor being configured to enable;

a first module to locate the plurality of people at a plurality of locations based on the received geographic location by the processor on the server;

a second module to determine a count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on a demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by the processor;

a third module to represent the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations as a pair of counters in a plurality of blocks based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by the processor; and

a fourth module to update the count of the plurality of people at each counter in each of the plurality of blocks based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people by the processor;

a memory being operated to store information and instructions for execution by the processor; and

at least one electronic device having a user interface being coupled through the network to the server adaptable to receive the count of the plurality of people at each of the plurality of locations based on the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people, the user interface being configured to display the plurality of blocks with the pair of counters;

whereby the count of the plurality of people is dynamically updated based on each of the plurality of locations and the demographic characteristic of the plurality of people.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the user interface allows the users to search desired locations, scroll across a map and zoom in and out and view dynamically updated counts of males and females.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the system displays ads which pop up on bottom of the map depending on user'"'"'s input or by the user panning the map across a region where businesses are advertising.
