GOVERNMENT STRUCTURES AND NEIGBHORHOOD LEADS IN A GEO-SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method of organizing an online community network, comprising:
- obtaining a region on a geo-spatial map using a processor and a memory;
obtaining a first subset of a plurality of members of the online community network in a geo-spatial environment associated with the region on the geo-spatial map;
determining a second subset of the plurality of members with a highest number of points from the first subset;
creating a representative body from the second subset;
enabling the representative body to manage a portion of the online community network in the geo-spatial environment associated with the region on the geo-spatial map;
appointing a lead member user from the representative body from the second subset of the plurality of members with the highest number of points from the first subset based on an acceptance of the lead member; and
providing additional access privileges to the lead member user in the online community network of the geo-spatial environment.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system of determining neighborhood leads and forming government structures in an online geo-spatial social community are disclosed. A method of organizing a community network includes obtaining a region on a geo-spatial map, obtaining a first subset of members of the community network associated with the region, determining a second subset of the members with a highest number of points from the first subset, creating a representative body (e.g., based on an activity level of each of the first subset) from the second subset, and enabling the representative body to manage a portion of the community network associated with the region. A lead member user may be appointed or designated from the representative body from the second subset of the plurality of members with the highest number of points from the first subset based on an acceptance of the lead member (having additional access privileges).

8. A machine-readable non-transitory medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform the method of:
-
obtaining a region on a geo-spatial map; obtaining a first subset of a plurality of members of a community network in a geo-spatial environment associated with the region on the geo-spatial map; determining a second subset of the plurality of members with a highest number of points from the first subset; creating a representative body from the second subset; enabling the representative body to manage a portion of the community network in the geo-spatial environment associated with the region on the geo-spatial map; designating a lead member user from the representative body from the second subset of the plurality of members with the highest number of points from the first subset based on an acceptance of the lead member; and granting additional access privileges to the lead member user in the online community network of the geo-spatial environment.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a member repository database comprising a plurality of members; a geo-spatial repository database comprising a plurality of regions on a geo-spatial map; and a lead management server configured to; obtain a first subset of the plurality of members associated with one of the plurality of regions; determine a second subset of the plurality of members with a highest number of points from the first subset; create a representative body from the second subset; enable the representative body to manage a portion of the community network associated with the one of the plurality of regions; appoint a lead member user from the representative body from the second subset of the plurality of members with the highest number of points from the first subset based on an acceptance of the lead member; and provide additional access privileges to the lead member user in the online community network of the geo-spatial environment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
