INTERACTIVE OPTION PLAN ADJUSTMENT BASED ON DYNAMIC RULES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17545684 titled 'INTERACTIVE OPTION PLAN ADJUSTMENT BASED ON DYNAMIC RULES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method that involves receiving spatial temporal factors related to products, which affect the demand for product attributes at different locations and times. Based on this input, a first option plan is dynamically modified to generate a second option plan for a specific location and time. The method is performed by a processor device connected to a memory.

  • The method receives spatial temporal factors associated with products.
  • These factors influence the demand for product attributes at different locations and times.
  • A first option plan is modified based on the received factors.
  • The modified plan is generated for a specific location and time.

Potential Applications

  • Retail industry: Optimizing product options and attributes based on location and time.
  • Supply chain management: Adjusting product offerings based on spatial temporal factors.
  • Marketing and advertising: Tailoring campaigns and promotions based on location-specific demand.

Problems Solved

  • Inefficient product planning: The method improves the planning process by considering spatial temporal factors.
  • Inaccurate demand forecasting: By incorporating these factors, the method helps in predicting demand more accurately.
  • Ineffective product customization: The method enables better customization of product options based on location and time.

Benefits

  • Improved sales and revenue: Optimizing product options based on spatial temporal factors can lead to increased customer demand and sales.
  • Enhanced customer satisfaction: Tailoring product attributes to specific locations and times can better meet customer preferences.
  • Efficient resource allocation: By dynamically modifying option plans, resources can be allocated more effectively to meet demand.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method comprises receiving as input one or more spatial temporal factors associated with one or more products where the one or more spatial temporal factors affect a demand for one or more product attributes of the one or more products at one or more locations at a select period of time and dynamically modifying a first option plan based on the received input of the one or more spatial temporal factors to generate a second option plan for a given location of the one or more locations at the select period of time. The steps are performed by at least one processor device coupled to a memory.
