Security in a geo-spatial environment

1 . A method of organizing a community network, comprising:

obtaining member data associated with a member of the community network;

determining a location of the member based on the member data;

storing the member data in a member repository;

obtaining a personal privacy preference from the member;

applying the personal privacy preference to a geo-spatial map; and

displaying the member data at the location on the geo-spatial map based on the personal privacy preference.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a community membership of the member based on the location;

obtaining a group privacy preference associated with the community membership from the member;

determining a validation level of the member;

applying the group privacy preference to the geo-spatial map based on the validation level; and

displaying the location on the geo-spatial map based on the group privacy preference.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

restricting access to an address associated with the community membership based on the group privacy preference.

4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

restricting access to a live webcam feed associated with the community membership based on the group privacy preference.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the validation level is based on a confirmation of the community membership of the member.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

restricting access to an address of the member based on the personal privacy preference.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

restricting access to a live webcam feed associated with the location based on the personal privacy preference.

8 . A community network, comprising:

a member repository comprising a plurality of members;

a geo-spatial repository comprising a plurality of locations on a geo-spatial map;

a member management module configured to obtain member data associated with one of the plurality of members, wherein the member data comprises one of the plurality of locations; and

a privacy module configured to:

obtain a personal privacy preference from the one of the plurality of members;

apply the personal privacy preference to the geo-spatial map; and

display the member data at the one of the plurality of locations on the geo-spatial map based on the personal privacy preference.

9 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein the privacy module is further configured to:

determine a community membership of the one of the plurality of members based on the one of the plurality of locations;

obtain a group privacy preference associated with the community membership from the one of the plurality of members;

determine a validation level of the one of the plurality of members;

apply the group privacy preference to the geo-spatial map based on the validation level; and

display the one of the plurality of locations on the geo-spatial map based on the group privacy preference.

10 . The community network of claim 9 , wherein the privacy module is further configured to:

restrict access to an address associated with the community membership based on the group privacy preference.

11 . The community network of claim 9 , wherein the privacy module is further configured to:

restrict access to a live webcam feed associated with the community membership based on the group privacy preference.

12 . The community network of claim 9 , wherein the validation level is based on a confirmation of the community membership of the one of the plurality of members.

13 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein the privacy module is further configured to:

restrict access to an address of the one of the plurality of members based on the personal privacy preference.

14 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein the privacy module is further configured to:

restrict access to a live webcam feed associated with the one of the plurality of locations based on the personal privacy preference.

15 . A method of configuring a community network for a member, comprising:

obtaining a location request from the member;

displaying a location on a geo-spatial map corresponding to the location request;

obtaining a selection for a camera view associated with the location from the member;

displaying a live webcam feed associated with the camera view to the member;

obtaining a first vote for a camera privacy preference from the member; and

restricting access to the camera view based on the first vote.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining a validity of the first vote;

determining a validation level of the member; and

applying the first vote to the camera privacy preference based on the validity and the validation level.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the validity is based on a residence of the member at the location.

18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the validation level is based on a confirmation of a residence of the member at the location.

19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

displaying an address associated with the location on the geo-spatial map;

obtaining a second vote for an address privacy preference from the member; and

restricting access to the address based on the second vote.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

determining a validity of the second vote;

determining a validation level of the member; and

applying the second vote to the address privacy preference based on the validity and the validation level.
