Abstract:
To provide information useful to a variety of users engaged in real estate transactions. Provided is an information processing device, including an appraisal value calculation unit that calculates an appraisal value of a real estate property by using a function which includes appraisal factors of the real estate property as variables and which is different depending on a location of the real estate property, an appropriate price calculation unit that calculates an appropriate price of the real estate property based on the appraisal value, an assessment creation unit that creates an assessment of the real estate property that includes the appropriate price, and a display control unit that causes the assessment to be displayed on a client device.
Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and methods for the aggregation, analysis, display and monetization of pricing data for commodities in general, and which may be particularly useful applied to vehicles are disclosed. Specifically, in certain embodiments, historical transaction data associated with a particular vehicle configuration may be obtained and processed to determine pricing data associated with the vehicle configuration. The historical transaction data or determined pricing data may then be presented in an intuitive manner.
Abstract:
Video drive-by data provides a street level view of a neighborhood surrounding a selected geographic location. A video and data server farm incorporates a video storage server that stores video image files containing video drive-by data corresponding to a geographic location, a database server that processes a data query received from a user over the Internet corresponding to a geographic location of interest, and an image processing server. In operation, the database server identifies video image files stored in the video storage server that correspond to the geographic location of interest contained in the data query and transfers the video image files over a pre-processing network to the image processing server. The image processing server converts the video drive-by data to post-processed video data corresponding to a desired image format and transfers the post-processed video data via a post-processing network to the Internet in response to the query.
Abstract:
A system and method of processing, within a single procedure, cash equivalents and fix assets from any disposition class. The method includes identifying the benefactor and asset to be donation. Once identified, the asset is classified into one of three disposition classes. The disposition classes are used to determine the value for valuing. Once the value is determined, an impact statement is generated. Depending on the disposition class, the item is either converted to funds directly or through an intermediary. Once the item is converted to funds, the funds are transferred to the identified benefactor.
Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided to implement a brand comparison engine. The mechanisms receive a request to compare brand personalities of a first specified brand and a second specified brand and obtain a first brand personality scale associated with the first specified brand and a second brand personality scale associated with the second specified brand. The mechanisms calculate at least one gap value indicating a difference between at least one personality trait in the first brand personality scale and a corresponding at least one personality trait in the second brand personality scale. The mechanisms also output an output indicating an aspect of the at least one gap based on the calculation.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a current, standardized and comprehensive vehicle condition report while also creating lead generation data. Embodiments described herein can process vehicle information, vehicle appraisal, and computerized arrangements that enable shoppers to investigate, locate, specify, requisition, purchase, or otherwise exchange information concerning vehicles.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for improved management of sentiments over conventional approaches are disclosed. Supervised approach is used to augment the rule-based approach for classification. Initially, sentiment evaluation is performed by the system using a rule based approach and an interface is provided to the user to give feedback on the correctness of evaluated sentiment. This feedback is used by the sentiment evaluation system to update the set of rule-based and also apply the supervised approach to train the classifier for evaluating complex posts.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a shopper-centric social networking system. The system comprises a user interface, a user database comprising a plurality of user entries wherein, each user entry represents a user registered therewith, each user entry associated with a plurality of friend entries wherein, a friend entry represents a fellow registered user who is friends with the registered user, each user entry further associated with a plurality of purchase order entries wherein, a purchase order entry represents a purchase order placed by the user on a merchant site, a purchase order defined by a plurality of purchase order attributes comprising the date and time of purchase, the identity of the product purchased, the brand of the product purchased, the identity of the merchant site from which the product has been purchased, the product category of the product purchased, the product rating awarded by the customer, and a purchase orders settings module for enabling a user to allow select friends thereof to access select purchase orders made by the user via the user interface.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and devices for facilitating a location inspection and property tour. A location inspection computing device may receive at least one first rating of one or more characteristics associated with one or more locations, properties, units, parcels or sections. The first rating may be based on perceived importance of the one or more characteristics to a user. The method further comprises receiving, by the location inspection computing device, additional locations, properties, units, parcels or sections included in the location inspection tour and at least one second rating of the one or more characteristics being provided by the user while inspecting each location, property, unit, parcel or section. Further a composite rating for the listing of each location, property, unit, parcel or section is computed based on the at least one first rating and the at least one second rating.
Abstract:
Continuous property-level location effects may be determined by generating property-level location effect functions that map location coordinates to property-level location effect values. Each property-level location effect function corresponds to a sub-region of a larger region, the larger region being a region to which a hedonic equation of an automated valuation model corresponds. Each of the property-level location effect functions may be generated by fitting a set of data points that correspond to the sub-region for which the function is being generated. The set of data point to which a given function is fitted are based on the differences between model-estimated values and actual values (e.g., sales prices) for each of the properties located in the corresponding sub-region and in at least one adjoining sub-region. The property-level location effects functions are continuous and vary within their respective sub-region according to property-level changes in location effect.
