Abstract
Methods and systems for managing real estate titles and permissions include using a key to identify titles and/or permissions. The key is preferably operable to control operations of electronic devices within geographic boundaries, with the geographic boundaries preferably being defined by a geofence and/or IP-based addressing. In certain embodiments, a system is linked to real property records to assign the key to the owner of record. Like other property rights, this virtual right-to-control electronic devices while located in a certain space may be sold outright, leased, rented, partitioned or otherwise conveyed to others.
Claims17
A system for managing titles and permissions comprising:
- at least one titles and permissions electronic device including a processor and a database with at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponding to at least one geographic designator and corresponding to at least one key, wherein the at least one key corresponds to at least one title or at least one permission for the at least one geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one titles and permissions electronic device is in network communication with at least one electronic device;
- wherein the at least one electronic device includes the at least one key, wherein the at least one key enables the at least one electronic device to perform at least one permissive function when a geographic location of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator or disables the at least one electronic device from performing at least one prohibited function when the geographic location of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is operable to determine that the geographic location of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator by sending a request including the at least one geographic designator or the at least one IP address to the at least one titles and permissions electronic device, wherein the at least one titles and permissions electronic device is operable to convert the at least one geographic designator to the at least one IP address or convert the at least one IP address to the at least one geographic designator;
- and
- wherein the at least one permissive function includes a right to enter a piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator or a right to occupy a point on the piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator, or travel through the point on the piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator.

A method for managing titles and permissions comprising:
- determining that a geographic location of at least one electronic device including a processor matches at least one geographic designator based on at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address, wherein at least one key is associated with the at least one IP address, and wherein the at least one key corresponds to at least one title or at least one permission for the at least one geographic designator;
- determining whether the at least one electronic device includes the at least one key;
- and
- if the at least one electronic device includes the at least one key, enabling at least one permissive function on the at least one electronic device when the geographic location of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator or disabling at least one prohibited function on the at least one electronic device when the geographic location of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is operable to determine that the geographic location of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator by sending a request including the at least one geographic designator or the at least one IP address to at least one titles and permissions electronic device, wherein the at least one titles and permissions electronic device is operable to convert the at least one geographic designator to the at least one IP address or convert the at least one IP address to the at least one geographic designator;
- and
- wherein the at least one permissive function includes a right to enter a piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator or a right to occupy a point on the piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator, or travel through the point on the piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator.

A system for managing titles and permissions comprising:
- at least one titles and permissions electronic device including a processor and a database with at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponding to at least one geographic designator and at least one key corresponding to at least one title or at least one permission for the at least one geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one titles and permissions electronic device is in network communication with at least one electronic device;
- wherein the at least one electronic device includes the at least one key, wherein the at least one key enables the at least one electronic device to perform at least one permissive function when a geolocation of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator or disables the at least one electronic device from performing at least one prohibited function when the geolocation of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is operable to determine the geolocation of the at least one electronic device;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is operable to convert the geolocation of the at least one electronic device to an IP address;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is operable to determine that the at least one IP address corresponding to the at least one geographic designator includes the IP address;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is enabled to perform the at least one permissive function or is disabled from performing at least one prohibited function;
- wherein the at least one electronic device is operable to determine that the geolocation of the at least one electronic device matches the at least one geographic designator by sending a request including the at least one geographic designator or the at least one IP address to the at least one titles and permissions electronic device, wherein the at least one titles and permissions electronic device is operable to convert the at least one geographic designator to the at least one IP address or convert the at least one IP address to the at least one geographic designator;
- and
- wherein the at least one permissive function includes a right to enter a piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator or a right to occupy a point on the piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator, or travel through the point on the piece of real property defined at least in part by the at least one geographic designator.
