Concierge Golf Service Integrating Local Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is an unmet consumer demand for an easy-to-use platform that can search and book golf courses based on preferences like location and provide accurate tee time information, while also offering access to charity golf events that are not readily accessible to the general public.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows users to search and select tee times and golf course information through an interactive navigation system, enabling secure transactions and access to both public and private golf course information, including charity events, by integrating internet searches with local, non-searchable data to create a comprehensive database.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a comprehensive database integrating internet searches with local non-searchable data is created, then information completeness and accessibility are improved, but system complexity and data collection requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs human collectors as intermediaries to bridge the gap between non-searchable local information sources and the digital database. These collectors physically gather information from documents, interviews, and local knowledge, then input it into the system, effectively mediating between analog information sources and digital storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data collection and organization by gathering non-searchable local information in advance through human collectors before users need it. This pre-collection process converts unavailable local knowledge into structured database entries that can be quickly retrieved during user searches.
2Adaptability or versatility
If private information from authorized sources is integrated into the database, then access to exclusive events and information is improved, but security requirements and access control complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by applying different access control levels to different portions of the database. Public information remains freely accessible, while private charity event information requires specific authorization. This allows the system to provide exclusive access where needed while maintaining open access for general information.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple information sources including local documents and oral information are collected, then database comprehensiveness is improved, but data verification and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information collection into distinct categories: internet-searchable data, local documents, oral information, and local knowledge. Each segment is collected and processed through appropriate methods, with human collectors handling non-digital sources separately from automated web searches, allowing parallel processing of different data types.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method is provided for conversion of information provided on public and/or private networks and managing that information by categories and offering services relating to that information; and particularly to a system and method for offering services related to maintaining an easy to use consumer site which searches golf courses and provides accurate tee time and other information related to golfing services and collects revenue based on those services.
