Once the user has downloaded the application,
they'll now be given the option to either login (if they
have an existing account) or to create a new account. The
on-boarding process should be quick and efficient. It
should be brief while also providing us just enough
information to get the user started
1.1 Login
This will most likely be a button that's less visible
than the 'Create Account' button. It's only use will
be when a user logs out, switches phones or reloads
the application after a deletion.
1.2 Create account
This will be the primary button that users
would tap to start the on-boarding process
1.2.1 Register with social signup
The user can create an account using their
Facebook or Twitter social profile. This
will silently provide us their name, phone
number, and profile photo.
1.2.2 Email
The user can also create an account using
their E-mail address.
1.2.2.1 User info collect
User will be asked to provide
their:First Name, phone number, and be
asked to take or upload a profile
photo.
2. Create a group
2.1 Create a group via a gesture
This choice will launch a graphic that encourages
the users to create the group via a gesture (with
phone in hand), i.e. tap knuckles. By getting a
user to perform the gesture with the application
open, our technology will recognize the other
devices also doing the gesture and create a group.
2.2 Create group via contacts
There will be an alternative action that users can
perform to create a group. This could be preferred
for these instance: users aren't in the same
vicinity, or they simply don't want to do a gesture
in public. In this case we'll need to let them
choose fromt heir Facebook friends or their phone
contacts.
2.2.1 User notified when added via contact
The user who's addd via the contact dialog is
sent a push notification letting them know
they've been invited. If they don't have the
application then they're sent an SMS with a
link to the application in the app store. They
must load the application and accept the
invite.
3. Viewing group on map
3.1 Tap on a user's location marker
This brings up a user's detail profile (photo,
name, distance from user viewing the profile, and
option to direct message).
3.2 Add user
Once a group has been created any of the existing
members can add a new user to the group. Once added
all the others in the group are notified.
3.2.1 Add user via gesture
This will open a dialog that illustrates that
the new user (within proximity) should open
their app and do the gesture to join group.
3.2.2 Add user via contacts
This will open a dialog that lets them invite
user from their Facebook friends or their phone
contacts and invite a new user to the group.
3.2.2.1 User notified when added via contact
The user who's added via the contact dialog
is sent a push notification letting them
know they've been invited. If they don't
have the application then they're sent an
SMS with a link to the application in the
app store. They must load the application
and accept the invite.
4. Messaging within the group
4.1 Message the group
Each group has a main message window where users
can post messages to each other that the entire
group can see.
4.1.1 Tap on a user
This will take the view back to the map and
highlight the user on the map.
4.2 Group list
Users can expand the group list and tap on a user
to highlight that user on the map or tap on a
message button to open direct message to that user.
5. Leaving or dissolving the group
5.1 Leave group
A user can chooose to be removed from the group.
5.2 Dissolve group
A user can choose to dissolve the group. When a
user selects this then the rest of the group is
sent a notification to approve. Once 50% of the
group approves then the group is dissolbed. If
there are only two people in a group it is
automatically dissolved.
