Place Search System Using Spatial Cell Partitioning and Natural Language Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for searching destinations require extensive time and consultation of multiple incomplete and dispersed information sources, failing to efficiently provide users with relevant data based on desired parameters without knowing the destination's name.
Innovation Solution
A process involving spatial cutting of the Earth's surface into cells with sensors recording identifiable parameters, allowing for free requests in natural language to be analyzed and interpreted, generating keywords for data subset selection and display of corresponding locations, along with a device using a server and client computer with artificial intelligence for multimedia results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional methods are used to search for destination information, then complete information can be obtained, but it requires consulting multiple sources and takes several days
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple dispersed information sources into a single integrated search system. The system consolidates data from various sources (climate, tourism, economy, politics, environment, safety) into one unified platform, allowing users to access complete destination information without consulting multiple separate sources, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and search time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization and structuring of destination data by parameters before user queries. Information is pre-categorized into climate, tourism, economy, politics, environment, and safety parameters, enabling rapid retrieval when users search, thereby reducing the time required to access complete information
2Adaptability or versatility
If users search without knowing the destination name, then they can find places based on desired parameters, but the search process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional search approach by allowing users to search for destinations based on desired parameters (climate, tourism, economy, etc.) rather than searching by destination name. This reverse search methodology enables users to find places that match their criteria without needing to know the destination in advance, enhancing flexibility while the system manages the complexity internally
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that translates user parameter-based queries into meaningful search results. The system acts as a mediator between user requirements and destination data, automatically interpreting and matching parameters against stored information, thereby simplifying the user interface while maintaining sophisticated search capabilities

AI summary
The invention relates to a process for searching for a place on the basis of a free request of parameters defined by a user on a peripheral unit connected to a central unit, remarkable in that it comprises the following steps:a step of selecting and grouping types of parameters,spatial cutting of the earth's surface into surface cells, with said cells being associated with a plurality of sensors,associating data with a type of parameters and with a surface cell in order to obtain data sub-sets,processing and storing the data sub-sets,constituting the free request,analyzing the language and the interpretation of the free request,searching for and selecting surface cells associated with the sorted and selected data,displaying the place corresponding to the surface cells found.The invention also relates to a device implementing said process.Uses: Expediting the search for places.
