user computing device 12 may be coupled to theserver 14, and, referring toFIGS. 2 and 3 , theserver 14 may be programmed to receive location information from the user computing device (Step 30); automatically process the location information and determine what properties have a geolocation near the geolocation of the user computing device (Step 31); automatically find and retrieve geo-groupedproperty data 26 corresponding to the properties near the geolocation of the user computing device (Step 32); automatically deliver the geo-groupeddata 26 to the user computing device for display and access (Step 33); and receive and store a post from the user computing device, wherein the post from the user is stored as part of the geo-grouped property data 26 (Step 34). In some embodiments, theuser computing device 12 may be utilized by an occupant of a vehicle 20 (SeeFIG. 2 ). Theuser computing device 12 may be operating a mobile app as part of thesystem 10, wherein operation of the mobile app couples theuser computing device 12 to theserver 14. Theuser computing device 12 operating the mobile app, may further be operated to determine its location and send the location data to the server through the established connection. This location data, for example, may be location data obtainable by a smartphone and then sent to theserver 14. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , theuser computing device 12 may be withinvehicle 20 and the location may be sent to theserver 14. The location may be within apredetermined distance 24 of the geolocation of theproperty 22, thereby initiating the sending of geo-groupedproperty data 26 corresponding to the geolocation of theproperty 22 to theuser computing device 12 within thevehicle 20. - Once the geo-grouped
property data 26 is sent to theuser computing device 12, the geo-groupedproperty data 26 is automatically displayed. In some embodiments, there may be several properties that are available based on the location of theuser computing device 12. In these instances, theserver 14 may be programmed to send a list of geo-grouped property data to theuser computing device 12 for selection. The list may include different properties, wherein the user may select a desired geo-grouped property data associated with a desired property to access on theuser computing device 12. Further still, theserver 14 may also be programmed to send a list of geo-grouped property data to the user computing device for selection, the list including different content types of geo-grouped property data of the property or multiple properties. The different content types of geo-grouped property data may include text comments by other users, photos, graphics, videos, audio and the like. In embodiments, theserver 14 may be programmed to supply lists for both multiple properties and different types of content associated with the multiple properties to theuser computing device 12 for selection by the user. - It will be understood that the geo-grouped property data may be displayed as bubbles of data floating above each property in a mixed reality environment on the
user computing device 12, wherein the bubbles are selectable on theuser computing device 12 in order to access the information. In embodiments, the bubbles of data may be differentiated on the display of theuser computing device 12 to indicate various types and amounts of data. For example, and not by way of limitation, the bubbles may be different colors to differentiate between the type of content of a property. Further, the bubbles may be different sizes to differentiate between amounts of content, wherein the greater amount of content results in bigger bubbles viewable on the user computing device, as shown inFIGS. 4 . Other distinctions between bubble of data displayed on the user computing device may be made for purposes, such as, but not limited to, bubbles with photos, bubbles with video, bubbles with text, bubbles with combinations of text/photo/video, and the like (SeeFIGS. 4-8 ). - Referring to
FIGS. 2, 4 and 7 , the types of comments may include details about the property, particularly information that is not generally known or available using conventional real estate listing systems. For example, and without limitation, the information may include traffic information; noise information; information about previous owners, such as deaths in the home, floods, damage and the like; information regarding neighbor pets; information regarding a home owners association; and the like. As comments are entered regarding a property, the system may assign a score taking into account the amount of information in the geo-grouped property data, but also the variety of information and assign a gossip score for the property. The gossip score may be provided to the system as a data bubble, wherein users can readily see what properties have higher amount and variety of posts relating to the property. - Further, the geo-grouped
property data 26 may further include content that would be equivalent to a property brochure that lists details of the property including size, year built, upgrades, and the like that are typically provided in property brochures. In these embodiments, as a user selects the property brochure content, it is a direct access download of information or file to the user computing device for review by a user. This can be in addition to the other comments regarding the property. This would be a replacement of conventional brochures posted or available in sign outside of the residence. It does not require the potential purchaser to get out of his or her vehicle to obtain the brochure and may be updated easily by updating a digital file. This brochure information may be in addition to anecdotal information that may be posted by neighbors, previous owner and others that have viewed the property. - It is contemplated that a user that is a driver of a vehicle may elect to receive the geo-grouped property data in a form that complies with state driving laws, while passengers may have the same or alternative feeds of information.
- By way of example only, and not as a limitation, operation of the
system 10 may include a user traveling by a certain property while house hunting. The user is operating auser computing device 12 that is the user's smartphone operating a mobile application to access thesystem 10. The location information of theuser computing device 12 is automatically being sent to the server at intervals or continuously. Theserver 14 process the information to determine that the user is within a predetermined distance of a geolocation of a certain property. Theserver 14 automatically send the geo-groupedproperty data 26 to theuser computing device 12 for display and access by the user. The geo-groupedproperty data 26 may be provided as bubbles of data including text, photos, videos and the like of all users that have posted regarding the certain property in a mixed reality environment displayed on a screen of the user computing device. For example, listings near the user computing device may be shown on the user computing device with floating identifiers, such as bubbles with the geo-groupedproperty data 26. The user may consume the geo-groupedproperty data 26 by selecting the bubbles of data on the user computing device to view and/or read the geo-groupedproperty data 26. The user may further submit a post on the certain property, wherein the post of the user will automatically be added to the geo-groupedproperty data 26 for access and consumption by all other users of the system by including the post of the user as part of or another bubble of data. In embodiments, multiple users within the predetermined distance of the geolocation of the same property may post/comment back and forth in real time or in near real time regarding the property. Visually presented, thesystem 10 allows for bubbles of data regarding certain properties to be geolocationally associated with the certain properties and displayed as floating above the property in order to be accessible byuser computing devices 12 within a certain proximity of the geolocation of the certain properties. It allows interaction with individuals who have a common interest in the properties and surrounding community and the like. - In other embodiments, the geo-grouped property data may be displayed as a camera lens coupled to the
user computing device 12 pans and views the property with the camera lens and displays the geo-grouped property data floating or otherwise associated with the property. In other words, as a camera lens coupled to the user computing device is panned, the properties that are in the viewing sight of the camera lens may be displayed on the screen of the user computing device with floating identifiers of geo-groupedproperty data 26 above theproperties 22. - Embodiments may be available on or through the internet, such as through domain names reserved and owned by Applicant that include gossipscore.com, chataddress.com, geobrochure.com or the like.
