Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for accessing and analyzing commercial real estate data on mobile devices are hindered by the complexity of data presentation and the need for interactivity, particularly due to resource constraints and the requirement for physical property visits, which complicates obtaining specific information on the go.

Innovation Solution

A mobile application that allows users to query commercial real estate databases, presenting results in an intuitive manner on smartphones and tablets, incorporating filtering, analytics, and interactive features like touch screen navigation, custom tours, and over-post reduction techniques to manage data overload, ensuring ease of viewing and analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If comprehensive real estate data is provided through databases, then information completeness is improved, but data complexity and difficulty of presentation worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments comprehensive real estate data into distinct categories including property attributes, financial information, demographic data, and comparable properties. This segmentation allows the system to manage and present vast amounts of information in organized, manageable sections that reduce perceived complexity while maintaining information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces multiple dimensions for data presentation including spatial dimensions (property locations on maps), temporal dimensions (historical data, future projections), and analytical dimensions (financial metrics, demographic overlays). These additional dimensions organize complex data in intuitive ways that improve comprehension without sacrificing information depth

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If real estate data is accessed on mobile devices, then accessibility is improved, but processing and display capabilities are constrained

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidprocessing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and prioritizes essential real estate information for mobile display, presenting key property attributes, photos, and basic details in the mobile application while allowing users to access comprehensive data through web interfaces or printed materials. This extraction approach enables effective mobile access without overwhelming device processing capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic data loading and presentation in the mobile application, where detailed information is loaded on-demand based on user interaction rather than pre-loading all data. This dynamic approach allows the application to adapt to varying device capabilities and network conditions while maintaining accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of time

If brokers print property search results, then offline access is improved, but interactivity and real-time information access are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoffline accessVSAvoidinteractivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions the mobile application as an intermediary between brokers and comprehensive real estate databases, enabling brokers to access and interact with property data directly on mobile devices during property visits. This intermediary approach eliminates the need for printed materials while maintaining offline functionality through cached data and real-time updates when connectivity is available

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
