Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0031] Further, although the embodiment is described as including a number of functions, aspects of the embodiment do not require all of these functions. Rather, it should be borne in mind that there are many aspects of the embodiment that are formed using only one or a small subset of all the functions described.

[0032] In addition, the discussion of the embodiment is in the context of a website which represents one way the system could be implemented. However, the system could be implemented using different technologies and still provides its users with the same and or similar functionality.

[0033] Briefly, the present invention includes a method for online community system where users can locate the events/happenings around them or their preference areas and get the insight of event. It is preferred for the application of the invention to be installed upon the user's mobile device to run constantly as a background task with location services enabled. This appeal extends to the service providers that provide the services accessed via background mobile applications and or desktop, who benefit from the user's perceived commitment to those services in terms of advertising effectiveness, community-building and so on.

[0034] The method and procedure in its current domain allows the user to reach the website/application through a mobile or laptop or smart devices and then make an account as a user. The enabling of location services of the user is a necessary requirement to create an account. The website allows users to create a private space where, based on location, the user may access the event information happening within their chosen range of physical proximity around him/her.

[0035] The invention allows direct link between a user and venue, event, and or location details thus alerting the users with real time alerts and information as a display. This direct link also means that it is possible to see the details of the attendees at their choice of venue, event, and or location and get the real time information of the attendees.

[0036] The input from the user is devised from user terminals which may comprise Internet terminals with keyboards as one skilled in the art would recognize. A user may enter their pre-requirements into the interactive system through a user terminal, which transmits the data to the server. As it receives request from user terminals, the system prioritizes the request and search for the events happening in the required vicinity. The system determines continuing priority for providing an ongoing service to the user.

[0037] User computers 102-106 represent the computers of users of the system of the present invention. There can be any number of such computers. These could be any type of device that would allow the user to connect to server 110 via computer network 108, send and receive data to and from server 110, and process that data appropriately. For example, if server 110 is a web server, computer 102 could be personal computer or mobile device running a web browser. User computers 102-106, then, represent all possible systems that users might use to communicate with server 110.

[0038] The user must sign up for a membership, filling out a brief form containing the necessary fields of data and a user account is immediately created or can be done via the means of connecting with another social media platform. Specification of geographical area represents a system by which the user can specify the geographical area under consideration for his purposes at the time he is using the system and/or particular functions of the system. If the user specifies a geographical area, the content and/or functionality of the system can be modified or extended to reflect that area. Search display on the user screen provides search function which allows the user to search the content of the embodiment. The search query can reflect (instead of or in addition to content from around the Internet) the content and/or functionality of any combination of one or more venue, event, and or location; locally or individually or privately or on open invitation.

[0039] The system as per its further embodiments provides unique point system. The point system works in a way where events are worth a certain number of points based on the overall reviews the business gets from customers. For instance, a 5-star business bears 150 points, 4-star business bears 100 points, 3-star business bears 75 points, 2-star business bears 50 points, and a 1 star-business bears 25 points. Business will strive for high reviews in order for their events to be worth more points.

[0040] The system as per its further embodiments provides system for points to affects the users. When users go to these events and punch their attendance with the QR code system, the user profile will be rewarded the number of points that the event is worth. Likewise, if users fail to attend the events, their profiles are then deducted the points the event was worth.

[0041] The system as per its further embodiments provides system for locking the event. This involves users to swipe up on one event for a particular day and time. When users lock in to an event they cannot swipe up for any other event that would interfere with an event they have already decided to go to. They are also unable to back out of the event. Once they lock in, they must attend and gain points, or not attend and lose points.

[0042] The system also aims to provide business feature which allows businesses to enroll and register their events. The businesses can pay a monthly fee to create an event and publish for people to join. Each business will be given a corresponding QR code that users can scan when they attend an event to verify that they attended, and receive their points. Any tickets purchased from businesses through the app will have a QR code that the business can scan to log the ticket when someone is being admitted inside the event.

[0043] The system can be viewed and used from a personal computer, laptop, PDA or any computing device. In order to use the web-based application, the user has to be connected to internet to provide the feedback in real time. For real time utility needs to be connected to internet through local area networks (LANs)/wide area networks (WANs), wireless network or independent internet source. Further, the internet would connect the user to the online feedback application server, through the user's computing or mobile device, where applicable.

[0044] Generally, client device may include virtually any computing device capable of receiving and sending a message over a network, such as LAN/WAN or independent network, wireless network, and the like, to and from another computing device, such as server or mobile device, and the like. The set of such devices may include devices that typically connect using a wired communications medium such as personal computers, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, and the like. The set of such devices may also include devices that typically connect using a wireless communications medium such as cell phones, smart phones, Tablets or PDAs. Similarly, client device may be any device that is capable of connecting using a wired or wireless communication medium such as a PDA, POCKET PC, wearable computer, and any other device that is equipped to communicate over a wired and/or wireless communication medium.

[0045] Client device may include a browser application that is configured to receive and to send web pages, web-based messages, and the like. The browser application may be configured to receive and display graphics, text, multimedia, and the like, employing virtually any web-based language, including Standard Generalized Markup Language (SMGL), HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and so forth.

[0046] Client device may also include mobile computing devices especially the smartphone, which allow the user to download the application and use it on one click. The online website has a responsiveness mode for the application to function in full on the mobile computing device. Any mobile computing device can be used by the user for using the application. Such devices include portable devices such as, cellular telephones, smart phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), handheld computers, wearable computers, tablet computers, integrated devices combining one or more of the preceding devices, and the like.

[0047] The online feedback application is available through a website and also through an app on the android platform. The application can be downloaded easily free of cost from Google Play store. The application is also available on iOS system by Apple.

[0048] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.
