Geotemporal Data Schema for Unified Personal Information Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack a universal, integrated solution for managing personal data related to relationships, events, places, and life moments, making it difficult to record, organize, and share information across different tools and platforms, leading to fragmented data that is not easily accessible for utility, recall, or reliving.
Innovation Solution
The myPlanit system provides a data schema and set of Internet services that integrate venue, event, and social networking features, allowing users to manage relationships, events, places, and life moments through a central database, web service, and user client application, enabling organization, sharing, and reliving of experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate tools (PIM tools, GPS services, online mapping services, digital cameras, social networks) are used to record and manage personal information, then comprehensive data coverage is achieved, but data fragmentation and lack of integration occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple previously separate tools and services (PIM tools, GPS services, online mapping services, digital cameras, social networks) into a single integrated system. This unified system allows users to record, organize, and access personal information about places, relationships, events, and life moments through one cohesive platform rather than switching between multiple applications, thereby resolving the data fragmentation issue while maintaining comprehensive coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated system performs multiple functions simultaneously: it manages personal information, provides location-based services, captures media, enables social sharing, and organizes life moments. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to replace multiple specialized tools, achieving both comprehensive data coverage and system integration
2Reliability
If data is stored in separate systems (social networking systems, PIM tools, location-based systems), then each system can optimize its specific function, but cross-system data accessibility and utility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from social networking systems, PIM tools, and location-based systems into a unified data structure. This allows the system to maintain the functional strengths of each source system while enabling cross-system data accessibility, so users can access and utilize information from any source within the integrated platform without losing functionality
3Productivity
If users manually switch between different services and devices to complete life transactions, then each service can be used at its full capability, but time efficiency and user convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple services into a single integrated system that allows users to complete life transactions without manually switching between applications. The system maintains the full capability of each individual service while eliminating the time loss associated with switching, as all services are accessible within one unified interface
Data Source
AI summary
A system and a method are presented for providing a data schema for managing people's important relationships to other people and businesses, past-present-future plans and events, places, activities, memorable life moments and any information about anything that exists or occurred in the earth's time-space reality, as well as a set of Internet services and transactions that allow people to make plans for the future, discover what to do and where to go for their present and future, discover content and commercial offerings for places in which they are or may be interested, and let them organize, share, recall and relive their history in useful and powerful ways.
