Contiguous location-based user networks

摘要

Contiguous location based user networks are disclosed herein. A method includes receiving an identification of an area of interest associated with a user of, and transmitting the identification of the area of interest to a server. The method includes determining a location of the user device and transmitting the location to the server. The method includes receiving information identifying a proximity group comprising the user and a plurality of other users. The proximity group includes least one other user being within a proximate area of the location of the user device and having an area of interest corresponding to the area of interest of the user. The proximate area corresponds to a second geographic region smaller than the area of interest. The proximity group further comprising at least one additional other user identified as a neighbor of each of the user and the at least one other user.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software for instructing a server to:
identify a first proximity group comprising a first plurality of users, each user of the first plurality of users being within a proximate area of at least one other user of the first plurality of users and having an area of interest; each of the proximate area and the area of interest corresponding to geographic regions where the area of interest is larger than the proximate area; and identify at least one additional user within an aggregate of the areas of interests of the first plurality of users in the first proximity group as a neighbor of each of the first plurality of users in the first proximity group.
