Geo-identification URL System for Direct Business Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack direct access to Universal Resource Locators (URLs) of businesses or locations based on geo-identification areas, relying on search engines with filters and rankings, which complicates information retrieval for users seeking information about nearby businesses.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a server with geo-identified URL data and user computing devices that receive, process, and deliver geo-identified URL data to users, allowing direct access through floating identifiers in a mixed reality environment, enabling users to select and open URLs of nearby businesses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If search engines with filters and rankings are used to find business URLs, then comprehensive search capability is provided, but information retrieval complexity increases for users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential function of URL access from complex search engines by implementing a dedicated geo-URL system. Instead of using general-purpose search engines with multiple filters and rankings, the system extracts only the necessary functionality: receiving location data, identifying nearby businesses, and providing direct URL access. This eliminates the complexity of sifting through search results while maintaining the ability to find business information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a specialized intermediary system between the user and business URLs. This intermediary (the geo-URL system) receives location information, processes it through a dedicated protocol, and delivers relevant URLs directly. This intermediary layer simplifies the user experience by handling the complexity of location-based URL retrieval behind the scenes, presenting only the essential information to users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional search methods are used to access business URLs, then broad information access is possible, but direct access to specific location URLs is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the URL access function into location-specific segments. Instead of providing a single comprehensive search interface, the system divides URL access into geographically segmented results. Each location receives tailored URL results based on its specific coordinates and surrounding businesses, enabling direct access to relevant local URLs while maintaining broad information access across different locations.
3Ease of operation
If geo-identified URL data is displayed as floating identifiers, then direct visual access to business URLs is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical text-based search interfaces with a visual display system. Instead of requiring users to type queries and navigate through text results, the system uses visual floating identifiers that display business information and URLs directly on the device screen. This visual substitution simplifies user interaction while the underlying software handles the complexity of geo-identification and URL retrieval.

AI summary
Described is a system for obtaining Universal Resource Locators (“URLs”) of specific locations, events, public services, businesses and other locations that maintain a URL based on geo-identification area of an identification area, wherein the system may utilize computing devices for implementing the system. The system automatically processes the location information of a user computing device and determine what businesses have a geo-identification area near the location of the user computing device. The system may then automatically find and retrieve geo-identified URL data corresponding to the businesses near the geo-identification area of the user computing device. Further, the system may automatically deliver the geo-identified URL data to the user computing device for access, wherein direct access includes geo-identified URL data viewable on the user computing device and is selectable to open a web browser on the user computing device directly to the URL of the business or location area.
