User Behavior Assumptions

  • User selects LOCATION=STATE,CITY pair when registering
  • If UNLOGGED-IN-USER selects LOCATION use this as computer LOCATION and save as PERMANENT-LOCATION-COOKIE
  • If a user registers and there are no PERMANENT-LOCATION-COOKIES then set the PERMANENT-LOCATION-COOKIE as what he registered with.
  • If the user logs in use the computer PERMANENT-LOCATION-COOKIE as the LOCATION.


Proposed-Features

  • IP ADDRESS versus geolocation database
  • DB-RECORD = [ IP-ADDRESS, STATE , CITY , LATITUDE, LONGITUDE ]




Design Conclusions

  • Put a very visible location interface on the front page
