Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and associating notification groups, such as affinity groups, and assigned locations, such as associated social hubs. The locations of group members at the assigned locations are tracked and notifications to the notification group are transmitted when group members are at the assigned locations. Group creation requests, location assignment requests, and association requests are received that respectively create generic groups, assigned locations, and notification groups. Invitations can be transmitted to group members to join the notification groups. When an electronic device associated with a group member is at an assigned location, notifications that the group member is at the assigned location are transmitted to other group members. Information is also transmitted to group members when a trigger event occurs. A user can advantageously create and control both the broadcasting of the location of the user and the audience that can see that location.

Abstract: An enclosure adapted to be recessed into a wall is disclosed. The enclosure may include an access frame or base to which an access door or lid is hinged or otherwise movable. The access frame is adapted to be secured to a stud of the wall. The door, in a closed configuration, is adapted to be substantially flush with the wall itself. Accordingly, in a closed configuration, the housing substantially conceals or hides the contents of the enclosure. In certain embodiments, the contents could be wall-mounted electrical devices such as power outlets, thermostats, switches, alarm key pads or audio/visual controls, but in alternative embodiments, the contents can be ordinary objects such as keys, wallets, or the like. In any embodiment set forth herein, a recessed housing is provided to provide for storage space to the user while not substantially disturbing the overall appearance or aesthetics of the room.
