## Abstract

A unique electronic communications account is generated and linked to a physical address of a user. A network of electronic mail addresses linked to physical addresses can be used for the transmission of information in electronic or physical form. Users can send information to a single recipient or multiple recipients by selecting the recipient or an area of recipients on a map generated by the system. A plurality of users can use a single e-mail address linked to a physical address through creation and storage of user profiles. Users can deactivate and transfer their unique electronic mail address upon relocation to a new physical address. The communication platform can overcome technical problems and limitations of electronic mail existing today. The communication platform can create a transparent global communication that can be achieved via an electronic communications account that can be created for every physical address in the world.

accessing, by the computer system, data related to the geographic location, wherein the geographic location is determined based at least in part by identifying a latitude and longitude for the geographic location;
determining, by the computer system using a property database, latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of a boundary of the property that encompasses the latitude and longitude for the geographic location;
calculating, by the computer system, all latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates within the determined boundary of the property that encompasses the latitude and longitude for the geographic location;
initiating, by the computer system, a fraud verification procedure for the request to generate the new electronic communications account for the property, wherein the fraud verification procedure is configured to determine whether the request to generate the new electronic communications account for the property is a fraudulent request;
in response to determining that the request to generate the new electronic communications account for the property is not a fraudulent request:
generating, by the computer system, the new electronic communications account for the property; and
associating, by the computer system, all of the calculated latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates within the boundary of the property to the new electronic communications account,
wherein the new electronic communications account allows an electronic message to be transmitted to the new electronic communications account by identifying the property, and

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises one or more of a mobile device, computer, or other electronic device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, by the computer system, information of an individual associated with the electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises one or more of a mobile device, computer, or other electronic device;
associating, by the computer system, the automatically generated new electronic communications account with the information of the individual; and
identifying a channel of communication for the automatically generated new electronic communications account, wherein the channel of communication comprises at least one of: an email address, an SMS message, or executable code to initiate an alert on the electronic device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:
determining, by the computer system, whether the geographic location is associated with a location of interest; and
in response to determining that the geographic location is associated with the location of interest, automatically associating, by the computer system, the new electronic communications account with the location of interest.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the geographic location comprises one or more of a residence, a building, an infrastructure, an object with a unique identifier, or a vehicle.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)
