Youth communities in a geo-spatial environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating a set of user profiles above a general mapping environment;
determining that one of the set of user profiles is a guardian profile through a verification technique;
creating a dependent profile in a youth mapping environment when a guardian user associated with the guardian profile elects to allow a dependent user to create the dependent profile in the youth mapping environment;
restricting access of the dependent user in the youth mapping environment based on a set of permissions granted by the guardian user; and
simultaneously visualizing the dependent profile based on a location data associated with the dependent profile along with adjacent dependent profiles having adjacent location data to the location data.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system of youth communities in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a set of user profiles above a general mapping environment, determining that one of the set of user profiles in a guardian profile through a verification technique, creating a dependent profile in a youth mapping environment when a guardian user associated with the guardian profile elects to allow a dependent user to create the dependent profile in the youth mapping environment, restricting access of the dependent user in the youth mapping environment based on a set of permissions granted by the guardian user and simultaneously visualizing the dependent profile based on a location data associated with the dependent profile along with adjacent dependent profiles having adjacent location data to the location data.

16. A system, comprising:
-
a network; a youth mapping environment to generate profiles of minors in a neighborhood and to include only minors who have been verified as permitted as participants in the youth mapping environment; a general mapping environment coupled to the youth mapping environment to enable parents to create access privileges of their minor children in the youth mapping environment; and a central module to enable the parents to form sharing groups with other parents in the general mapping environment, and to provide an interface such that the parents can monitor activities of their children in the youth mapping environment and to segregate users of the youth mapping environment from users of the general mapping environment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
creating a dependent social network having a set of users who have been verified to be dependents of guardian users of a parent social network, and in which user profiles in the parent social network are not visible to users of the dependent social network, and in which profile of the dependent social network are not visible to users of the parent social network except for a particular guardian user overseeing a particular dependent user; forming groups among the set of users such that the particular dependent user is a member of a particular group after being approved by the particular guardian user in the parent social network; restricting access to certain users in the dependent social network by the particular dependent user based on a preference of the particular guardian user; and generating neighboring ones of the particular dependent users of the dependent social network such that users of the dependent social network are able to visualize neighbors living in close proximity and are able to exchange communications between them through at least one of a postal mail communication and an electronic communication. - View Dependent Claims (20)
