SYSTEM AND METHOD OF VIRTUALIZING PHYSICAL LOCATIONS

摘要

The system and method provide an intuitive and user-friendly way to store information about physical locations on a computer network (110). In particular, a physical location information collection (112) is created and stored on a computer network (110) at a network address that corresponds to the physical address of the physical location to which the information pertains. The network address for information about the physical location at 123 Main Street, for example, incorporates at least a portion of 123 Main Street. The physical address can be incorporated into a Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") domain name, such as, for example, www.123mainstreet.com. Alternatively, the physical address can be incorporated into another portion of a network address, such as, for example, www.buildingaddress.com/123mainstreet/.
