Description

The technical field to which the utility model relates.

The utility model relates to electronic devices for determining the location of organizations according to user requests, including a housing in which there is a display connected to a computing module, connected to a data input module corresponding to user requests, and connected to an organization database storage module with addresses and parameters of goods and / or services, and the computing module is connected to the module for determining the location of the user and the module for exchanging data over the integrated network and It can be used to conveniently search for points of sale of goods or services located near the user's route.

In the present description, an organization is understood as any institution related to the offer of services or the sale of goods, a typical representative is a regular store selling goods, for example, a pharmacy.

User request - a list including the name of the product or service in which the user is interested.

Server (eng. Server) - an electronic device that performs service functions at the request of the client, giving him access to certain resources. For the purposes of this description, a server is considered having a permanent connection to a federated network that can transmit data to the server from client devices. The server can process this data and transfer the processing result back to the client device.

The unified network, as well as all connections between all modules and blocks, include various topologies, configurations, and layouts of the components of the interconnect, configured to interconnect corporate, global, and local area networks, and include, without limitation, traditional wired, Wireless, satellite, optical and equivalent network technologies. A typical representative of the integrated network is the Internet, in particular transmitted via Wi-Fi technology (WIFI) or via cellular networks.

The data input module is a server module that can represent the receiver of incoming signals, and their converter for subsequent processing.

A computing module is a server module, which is a microprocessor specially adapted for signal processing.

A database or database storage module is a server module that stores data corresponding to this module, which can be executed as a hard disk drive or as flash memory, which refers to semiconductors of electrically reprogrammable memory. However, some modules can be combined in separate implementations. For example, different databases can be stored in one memory module.

User movement history database - a set of aggregate data on the frequency of occurrence and duration of a user’s stay near organizations.

State of the art

The task of finding stores or similar organizations in the field of trade or services (for example, searching for a movie theater) in which the requested product (or service) is available is solved.

So, from the prior art, an electronic device is known for determining the location of organizations at the user's request, see the Yandex Market internet resource aggregator: https://market.yandex.ru or the drug search services http://www.medlux.ru/ http : //www.medlux.ru/

At the request of the user, they can issue lists of organizations selling this product and indicate them on the map. But these devices are located on servers, that is, not on the user's personal device and they do not have information about the user's location.

But there are precisely the user's personal devices that have a module for determining the location of the user (GSM module), which allows you to link the results of delivery to the location of the user and give him the options closest to him.

It is well known that an electronic device for determining the location of organizations according to user requests, including a housing in which a display is connected, connected to a computing module, connected to a data input module corresponding to user requests, and connected to an organization database storage module with addresses and product parameters and / or services, the computing module being connected to a user location determining module and a module for exchanging data over an integrated network. See utility model patent No. 63627, published May 27, 2007.

This device is the closest in technical essence to the claimed utility model and is taken as a prototype for the proposed utility model.

The disadvantage of this device is that although it allows you to enter requests and receive information about the location of organizations and the availability of goods, taking into account the actual real location of the user, it cannot determine the location of organizations at the request of the user, taking into account the location of the user for a given elapsed time period. Indeed, if the user needs to purchase a product (or it may be a question of a service with a specific location for its provision), then the location of the organization that is located not near its current location but near those places where it appears more often may be most convenient for it and / or is the longest. This can most easily be illustrated by an example when a user generated a request on the way to work, for example, we are talking about buying a medicine at a pharmacy, and he needs to be able to provide information on the location of pharmacies that have this medicine and are not near the place in which he formed his request, and next to his house or next to work or on the way from home to work and back.

Utility Model Disclosure

Based on this original observation, the present utility model mainly aims to propose an electronic device for determining the location of organizations according to user requests, including a housing in which a display is connected, connected to a computing module, connected to a data input module corresponding to user requests, and connected to the storage module of a database of organizations with addresses and parameters of goods and / or services, and the computing module is connected to the module for determining the location of the user and the module for exchanging data over the integrated network, which allows at least mitigating the above drawback, namely, providing the ability to determine the location of organizations at the request of the user, taking into account the history of user movements over a given period of time, which is the technical task of this utility model. That is, it should have the technical means to automatically change the selection of the locations of the requested organizations, taking into account those locations of the user, where he generally happens. And, in addition, adjust the depth of the job viewing the user's movement history.

To achieve this goal, the device includes a user movement history database storage module connected to the computing module, and the computing module has a time period setting unit for viewing the user’s movement history database, wherein the computing module is adapted to process user requests and provide results, being a sample of those organizations that sell the goods requested by the user or provide the service requested by the user, taking into account the history user movements for a given elapsed time period.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, the opportunity arises:

- limit the selection of found organizations selling goods or providing a service corresponding to the user's request only to those locations that correspond to user movements in the past,

- set the time period for viewing the user movement database.

Thus, the user can automatically be offered only those organizations that are convenient for him to get to.

There is a possible embodiment of a utility model in which the computing module has a unit for recording the length of stay and / or frequency of occurrence of a user near found organizations.

Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to change the selection of locations of the requested organizations, taking into account information about the user's movement history, including locations where he spends the most time or appears most often. This makes it more likely to offer organizations that are most convenient for him, because, for example, they are near the house or near work, or on the way from home to work and back, that is, near places where the user takes longer and / or appears often.

There is another possible embodiment of the utility model, in which the computing module has a unit for setting parameters of the search field of organizations. Thanks to this advantageous feature, it becomes possible to limit the selection of organizations at the request of the client to the center selected on the map and the maximum search radius.

There is also such a possible embodiment of the utility model in which the computing module has a selection block of those organizations that sell the group of goods requested by the user or provide the group of services requested by the user. Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to process a complex request, which includes several positions, and give the user the location of only those organizations that sell the group of goods requested by the user or provide the group of services requested by the user. A variant is possible when goods and services are in the same list.

In addition, there is a possible embodiment of a utility model in which the computing module has a unit for temporarily deactivating an individual position in a group of goods or services. Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to easily activate this block to easily change the selection for different options of the subgroup in the request, including a group of goods or services. This is very convenient to illustrate with an example when you need to buy some rare medicines. Assume that there is not a single pharmacy in which all these medicines are sold at the same time. Then, without changing the request itself, only by activating this block the user can temporarily exclude certain items from the specified group of medicines and decide on the purchase of part of the goods, independently ranking by importance, which part of the group of goods is more important to him.

There is also an embodiment of the utility model, in which the computational module has a block for ranking the results of a query by parameters. Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to easily change the parameter by which the results of the locations of organizations are output. For example, at the price of an individual product, at the price of an entire group of products, at a distance, and so on.

The set of essential features of the proposed utility model is unknown from the prior art for devices of similar purpose, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "novelty" for the utility model is met.

Circle 21 is circled by relevant organizations from the set of all organizations.

Utility Model Implementation

An electronic device for determining the location of organizations at the request of the user is used as follows. (A non-limiting example of a utility model is provided.) Referring to FIG. 2:

Stage A1. Connect through an integrated network 8, for example the Internet, the proposed device with a remote server 10 (or multiple servers), on which there is data on the price and availability of goods and services in organizations.

Stage A2. Data on the price and availability of goods and services in organizations is transferred from the remote server 9 to the device, while the data is written to the organization database storage module 5 with the addresses and parameters of goods and / or services. Further, the device can operate without connecting to a federated network.

Stage A3. The user generates a request for a group of products, for example, a group of drugs, enters through the input module 4 data corresponding to user requests.

Stage A4. The device automatically selects from among many organizations those in which the entered group of goods is on sale, and displays this data on the display 2 of the device. Data can be displayed as a list, or applied to a map. The user in this case can limit the search area beyond which the output is not made. This is done by block 33 of setting the parameters of the search area of organizations. Using block 36, the device can rank the results of the query by parameters.

Stage A5. The user, through block 31, sets the time period for viewing the database of the user's movement history, for example, for a day, three days, a week, a month, and restricts the selection of organizations that is displayed in the previous step to only those organizations that are located near the user's location for the entered time period.

Stage A6. The user, through the unit 32 for recording the length of stay and / or frequency of occurrence of the user near found organizations, can limit the sample of organizations that is displayed in the previous step to only those organizations that are located near the user's location in which he is located for a long time and / or appears most often. Most likely, these will be his places of residence, work and similar ones, or regular traffic routes. The figure 1 just shows the option of issuing when the circles 21 are grouped near two places on the map.

Stage A7. The user through block 34 can specify a group of goods and select only those organizations that sell the group of goods requested by the user or provide the group of services requested by the user.

Stage A8. By means of block 35 for temporary deactivation of a separate position in a group of goods or services, a user can form subgroups of organizations that have (on sale) a given subgroup of a group of goods or services. And it is easy to change these subgroups, which makes it possible to decide what is relevant for the user at the time of the request. For example, it is important for the user to minimize the time spent on the purchase, or to minimize the total cost of a group of goods, or to select a part of the goods that is available nearby at an affordable price.

The above embodiments of the utility model are exemplary and allow you to add new options or modify the described.

Industrial applicability

An electronic device for determining the location of organizations at the user's request can be carried out by a specialist in practice and, when implemented, ensures the implementation of the declared purpose. The feasibility in practice follows from the fact that for each feature included in the utility model formula based on the description, the material equivalent is known, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of “industrial applicability” for the utility model and the criterion of “completeness of disclosure” for the utility model are met.

In accordance with the proposed solution, the applicants made a prototype electronic device for determining the location of organizations at the request of the user.

Tests of the prototype showed that it provides

possibility:

- the formation of a request for goods or services, as well as a group of goods or services,

- the issuance of those results that correspond to the locations of organizations that can sell goods or services to the user upon his request,

- setting the time interval for taking into account the history of the user's movement in the city,

- job accounting for the duration of the stay and / or frequency of occurrence of the user in certain places,

- a convenient search for those results that correspond to the locations of organizations that can sell a group of goods or a group of services to the user upon request.

All this, ultimately, ensures the achievement of the technical result achieved - the ability to determine the location of organizations at the request of the user, taking into account the history of user movements for a given elapsed time period.

In addition, the proposed device allows you to provide a personalized selection, taking into account the law on personal data and possible licensing restrictions on the part of equipment manufacturers, since any remote server may not know the coordinates of the device, and the search is performed by the device itself, and in the absence of a connection to the integrated network (The Internet).
