Pet Homing Transactions With Automated Pet-Owner Profile Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current pet adoption systems are isolated, inefficient, and fail to integrate pet and pet owner data, particularly when pets are sent to shelters, leading to fragmented and lost medical and personal data.
Innovation Solution
A centralized platform that integrates pet and pet owner data, creating profiles and associating them dynamically, allowing seamless transactions and management of pet adoption processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a centralized platform integrates pet and pet owner data, then data completeness and accessibility are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges pet data and owner data into a single centralized platform, creating integrated profiles that store both types of information together. This consolidation prevents data loss by ensuring all information resides in one accessible location rather than being fragmented across multiple isolated systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized platform serves multiple functions: storing pet information, storing owner information, managing adoptions, and facilitating data exchange between shelters and owners. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single universal platform.
2Productivity
If manual data management processes are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but productivity and efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated profile creation and data association without requiring manual intervention. When an adoption is finalized, the system automatically creates owner profiles, pet profiles, and associates them together, eliminating the need for manual data entry and processing steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data preparation and profile creation before adoption finalization. By having the infrastructure ready to automatically create and associate profiles when an adoption occurs, the system eliminates post-adoption administrative work and speeds up the overall process.
3Loss of information
If isolated systems are used for pet management, then ease of operation is maintained, but information completeness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized platform acts as an intermediary that receives and stores data from multiple sources including shelters, veterinarians, and owners. This intermediary role ensures medical records and other critical information are captured and preserved even when generated by separate external systems, preventing information loss while maintaining the simplicity of existing data sources.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer-implemented method for dynamically managing electronic transactions of pet homing data is disclosed. The method includes receiving a pet selection, sending a confirmation indicating that the pet has been homed, determining whether at least one pet owner profile corresponding to at least one user record exists in a data store, in response to the determining that the at least one pet owner profile does not exist in the data store, creating a new pet owner profile based on the at least one user record, determining whether the at least one pet profile corresponding to at least one pet record exists in the data store, in response to determining that the at least one pet profile does not exist in the data store, creating a new pet profile based on the at least one pet record, and associating the new pet profile with the new pet owner profile.
