| This is the place where new LocaShares are initiated. Joe wants to share his location with Bob during this trip. He also wants to share his current city with his mother Alice. Both of these can be set up here. From the system perspective, there are many parameters associated with a location share. In order to limit the number of these settings that users have to deal with explicitly, in this design we use sharing types, which are essentially templates of settings. Joe can set up his two shares as Vacation shares -- a vacation share defaults to all the time and is not a radius share. The choice that Joe is presented with is whether he'd like to share just his exact location or just his current city. For Bob he's going to choose exact location, and for Alice he's going to choose current city. After the trip, Joe wants to set up a different LocaShare with Bob, where Bob can see whenever Joe is in his neighborhood. This is an In Your Neighborhood share. These shares are based on a location-- this way, Joe doesn't have to reveal to Bob where he is all the time-- just when it's relevant to him. The place should be relevant, and so should the time -- Joe chooses to share with Bob only when he's in the neighborhood in the evening. Out and About sharing is meant for sharing whenever you're in one of several specific places. For instance, Joe may want to let his friends know what places he goes to eat and how often he goes to them. | | | | |

Task 3: View offers and opt-in to create commercial contacts | Storyboard | | | | | | |
---|
| Deals are offered based on proximity. Joe is at the resort and is looking to buy some ski gear. He sees that Rei and Walmart are offering deals. He is more of an REI kind of guy, so he explores that deal, and finds out that Rei is willing to give him 3% off of his purchase if he agrees to share with them whenever he is at an Rei location. He signs up by clicking Sign Up. | | | | |

| Joe's mom Alice has access to Joe's city-location and wants to view it. She hits People from the home screen and then selects Joe. She clicks on the History tab to see a list of places Joe has been. | | | | |
Task 5: Edit social contacts | Storyboard | | | | | | |

| After the ski trip, Joe wants to stop sending his location to Bob. First he browses to the share by clicking on Bob in his contacts. He sees the Vacation share, and can click on it to view the details of the share. He can then delete it either directly from the details view, or by returning to the listing screen and selecting it from there. | | | | |
