A method of providing an interactive multi dimensional visual user interface to groups of users

摘要

Nuclear family ties, social identity, local groups and geographic proximity are important in patterns of human and electronic communication. Yet individuals are members of a multitude of groups, separate and overlapping. Such factors are underrepresented in electronic addressing schemes. Using categorisation cycles, the current invention links databases of different groups, categories and content via structured, iterative, representational frameworks for ease of creation, maintenance and navigation by users. In any electronic addressing schema there are differing requirements for privacy and for locality identification. This method structures multidimensional representations to tie together individuals, groups and physical, social and virtual communities and their multiple communications, content and interaction requirements. This method provides co-ordination of physical with electronic addresses with in addition a third schema of public addresses with non-physical associations. This ensures competing requirements of privacy and proximity is achieved, without losing benefits of knowing physical locations for those with a legitimate need.
