Representative Objects for Tangible Property Data Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies lack an efficient and intuitive method for users to interact with and manage information related to tangible objects and real environments across multi-dimensional data stores.
Innovation Solution
The system generates representative maps of real environments, allowing users to interact with tangible objects through representative objects. These representative objects are linked to various information sources across multi-dimensional data stores, enabling users to access and manage information efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users interact with multi-dimensional data stores directly, then information access is comprehensive, but user interaction becomes complex and non-intuitive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces representative objects (ROs) as intermediary elements between users and multi-dimensional data stores. These ROs serve as intuitive interfaces that map complex data structures to familiar object representations, allowing users to interact with data through recognizable patterns rather than navigating complex database schemas directly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates representative objects that are simplified copies or abstractions of tangible objects in the real world. These ROs replicate the essential characteristics and relationships of physical objects while stripping away unnecessary complexity, providing an intuitive gateway to access underlying multi-dimensional data stores.
2Loss of information
If the system links information across multiple data stores, then information access becomes comprehensive, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal representative object framework that can represent various types of tangible objects across different data stores. This multi-functional approach allows a single interaction model to access diverse information sources (product data, inventory, pricing, reviews) without requiring separate interaction mechanisms for each data store type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges information from multiple data stores into unified representative objects that present integrated data views. By combining product information, inventory status, pricing, and review data into single RO representations, the system provides comprehensive information access while hiding the complexity of multi-source data integration.
3Ease of operation
If the system generates representative maps of real environments, then user interaction becomes intuitive, but processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary processing by pre-generating representative maps and pre-creating representative objects for common tangible objects before user interaction occurs. This allows the system to respond quickly to user queries by retrieving pre-processed representations rather than generating them in real-time, reducing processing requirements during actual user interaction.

AI summary
Apparatus and associated methods related to generate at least one quotation request from records related to tangible property. In an illustrative embodiment, a signal corresponding to input from a user identifying a real environment is received. For example, the user may transmit a quotation request associated with the real environment. Based on the quotation request, for example, identify information related to the real environment based on predetermined requirements associated with at least one API related to a type of the request. For example, at least one second quotation request may be generated as a function of the information to a plurality of vendors through the at least one API. Various embodiments may perform virtual environment operations to present a plurality of records related to the real environment.
