Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for setting vehicle prices lack data consolidation and fail to utilize machine learning or artificial intelligence to provide dealers with insights on pivot price points, trends, and buyer visibility, leading to suboptimal pricing decisions that impact sales and profit.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a data collection server, middleware server, and model server that collects and analyzes data from multiple marketplaces to generate visualizations of past, present, and projected price points, reducing artificial intelligence hallucinations and providing dealers with actionable recommendations for maximizing visibility and profit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If current systems use historic dealer sales data for pricing, then dealers can maintain simple pricing processes, but buyer visibility and sales performance deteriorate due to lack of real-time market insights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarket data consolidationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates data from multiple marketplaces (Autotrader, CarGurus, Carfax, Cars.com) and internal dealer systems into a single centralized platform. This merging of previously分散 data sources provides comprehensive market intelligence while maintaining a unified user interface, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary AI layer that collects, processes, and analyzes data from multiple marketplaces before presenting recommendations to dealers. This intermediary handles the complexity of data aggregation and analysis, while dealers receive simplified actionable insights, thus resolving the contradiction between comprehensive data collection and ease of use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If dealers manually analyze pricing data from multiple marketplaces, then they maintain control over pricing decisions, but time consumption and productivity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepricing decision speedVSAvoiddata acquisition time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection, consolidation, and analysis automatically before dealers need to make pricing decisions. By pre-processing market data from multiple sources and generating AI-powered recommendations in advance, the system eliminates the time dealers would otherwise spend manually gathering and analyzing data, thus improving productivity without losing decision-making control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically collecting data from marketplaces, analyzing pricing trends, and generating recommendations without requiring dealer intervention in the data acquisition process. Dealers can quickly review and act on pre-analyzed insights, dramatically reducing the time spent on data gathering while maintaining oversight of pricing decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If systems do not provide AI recommendations, then dealers maintain full autonomy in pricing, but decision-making quality and profit optimization deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprice point accuracyVSAvoidAI automation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where AI analyzes marketplace data, deal rankings, and pricing trends to generate recommendations, which dealers can review and implement. The system continuously monitors the effectiveness of pricing decisions and adjusts recommendations accordingly, improving price point accuracy while maintaining dealer autonomy through informed decision-making support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts pricing parameters based on real-time market conditions, deal rankings, and competitor pricing. By continuously optimizing price points based on analyzed data and providing actionable recommendations, the system improves measurement precision in determining optimal prices while automating the analytical process to support dealer decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system for setting price points for a sale product includes a data collection server that is configured to collect data from display systems of a sale product and third party providers of the sale product. A middleware server is configured to analyze and sort the data to generate a visualization of the data. A model server is configured to tune the visualization of the data and reduce artificial intelligence hallucinations occurring in the visualization of the data and recommendations derived from the digestion of the data. A display platform displays the visualization of the data with an interactive environment for data driven, machine learning informed query and insight for decision making.
