Geographic Map Interface for Area-Based Real Estate Data Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Obtaining relevant information about a geographic region for real estate decisions involves consulting multiple sources, which is inefficient and costly.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that provides a map on a device, allows users to define an area on the map, and delivers data related to that area, optionally including data from larger geographic regions, using participant terminals and a server with a database to store and process geographic-related information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple sources are consulted to obtain comprehensive geographic information, then the completeness and quality of information is improved, but the time and cost required to obtain the information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple geographic data sources and information types into a single integrated map display system. The server aggregates data from various sources including geographic boundaries, demographic statistics, economic indicators, and property information, presenting them unified in one interface rather than requiring consultation of multiple separate sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The map display system serves multiple functions simultaneously: displaying geographic boundaries, showing demographic data, presenting economic statistics, and providing property information. This multi-functional platform replaces the need for multiple specialized information sources, allowing users to access comprehensive geographic information through a single system.
2Loss of information
If multiple sources are consulted to obtain comprehensive geographic information, then the completeness and quality of information is improved, but the cost and complexity of the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple information sources into a single integrated system. The server aggregates data from various geographic, demographic, economic, and property sources, combining them into one unified map display interface that presents comprehensive information without requiring users to navigate multiple separate sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that mediates between multiple data sources and the user. It collects, processes, and integrates information from various sources including geographic databases, demographic statistics, economic indicators, and property records, then delivers the synthesized information through a single map display interface.
3Loss of information
If detailed geographic data is provided for user-defined areas, then the relevance and usefulness of information is improved, but the data processing and retrieval complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the geographic information system into manageable segments: the map is divided into user-defined areas, and data is organized by geographic regions, demographic categories, economic sectors, and property types. This segmentation allows the system to process and retrieve specific relevant data efficiently without handling entire datasets.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides locally optimized information by delivering data specific to user-defined geographic areas rather than uniform comprehensive data for all regions. The server retrieves and displays only the relevant demographic, economic, and property information for the specific areas users select, reducing processing complexity while maintaining high relevance.
Data Source
