Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for creating groups associated with defined geographical neighborhoods for the purpose of providing and distributing information to members of the neighborhood groups, and soliciting assistance from members of the neighborhood groups. For example, an alert concerning a missing child may be sent from a user device (e.g., smart phone) to a server located on the Internet for distribution to user devices of members of a neighborhood groups. The notified members, in turn, using their respective user devices, may send notifications to the alert-originating user (as well as other members) of their participation in the search for the missing child. Additionally, the notified members may send notifications to the alert-originating user of the finding of the lost child. Such features may also apply to other alerts and/or notifications sent to members of a neighborhood group.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically populating a form on one or more webpages with data originating from a central database. According to one embodiment, a user communication device receives the data from a first server via a network, accesses the form on the one or more webpages via the network, automatically populates one or more fields of the form with some or all of the data, and sends the populated form to a second server via the network. According to another embodiment, a framed browser containing the data is generated by the user communication device, which automatically populates the form with some or all of the data when the user visits the corresponding website. According to yet another embodiment, an auto populate program (e.g., a toolbar or widget program) is executed by the user communication device for automatically populating the form with some or all of the data when the user visits the corresponding website.
