Geolocation Property Data Interface for Unified Buyer Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals seeking to purchase real estate face difficulties in accessing comprehensive and interactive information about properties, as this information is scattered across different webpages and it is hard to see comments from others who have viewed the properties.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes a server to receive location information from user computing devices, process it to determine nearby properties, retrieve and deliver geo-grouped property data, and display it as floating bubbles in a mixed reality environment, allowing users to post comments that are stored as part of the geo-grouped data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If property information is distributed across different webpages, then information completeness is improved, but information accessibility and ease of interaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines scattered property information and user comments from different webpages into a single integrated augmented reality interface. The system merges property data, neighborhood information, and user-generated comments into unified virtual bubbles that float over the physical property location, allowing users to access all information in one place rather than navigating multiple webpages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an augmented reality system as an intermediary layer between users and property information. This AR interface acts as a mediator that retrieves data from various sources, processes it, and presents it in an integrated visual format through virtual bubbles, simplifying the interaction between users and dispersed information sources.
2Reliability
If users physically visit properties to gather information, then information accuracy is improved, but time consumption and travel costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of property information and user comments that are overlaid on the physical property location through augmented reality. Instead of requiring users to physically visit properties to gather information, the system projects digital replicas of property data and user feedback directly onto the physical scene, allowing information access without physical travel.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary information gathering and verification by retrieving property data and user comments from online sources before the user arrives at the location. The system pre-processes and organizes information in virtual bubbles, so when users arrive at the property, all relevant information is already prepared and displayed, eliminating the need for on-site information gathering.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive property data is displayed in detail, then information completeness is improved, but user interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments comprehensive property information into distinct virtual bubbles, each containing specific types of data such as property details, neighborhood information, or user comments. This segmentation allows users to access complete information while interacting with simple, discrete visual elements rather than a complex monolithic interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional webpage interfaces to three-dimensional augmented reality visualization. Property information is displayed as virtual bubbles floating in 3D space over the physical property location, adding a spatial dimension to information presentation. This dimensional change allows comprehensive data to be organized and accessed more intuitively through spatial relationships rather than hierarchical menus.

AI summary
Described is a system for interaction regarding real estate sales based on geolocation. The system includes a server having a memory storing geo-grouped property data and a user computing device coupled to the server. The server may programmed to receive location information from the user computing device to automatically determine a property(ies) near a location of the user computing device. The server automatically finds and retrieves geo-grouped property data corresponding to the property and automatically delivers the geo-grouped data to the user computing device for direct access, and receive and store a post from the user computing device as part of the geo-grouped property data. The system allows users to interact with each other based on geolocation of a particular property that interests the different users, wherein such interaction does not need to be between preestablished connections of users.
