Abstract
A system and method for aggregating and listing inventory. The system may include a database for storing data in a plurality of record classes. The record classes may include data pertaining at least to a plurality of inventory and may include any variety of identifying data for each inventory record. The database may be a relational database, and the records may be grouped in a plurality of classes, which may be interrelated. The system may further include a search engine for searching the database so as to find and return a list of inventory based on desired criteria.
Claims15
A method for aggregating inventory, the method implemented on a computer with a processor configured to perform the steps comprising:
- receiving identifying data for at least one inventory item from at least one inputting user;
- uploading the identifying data to a database;
- populating the database with the identifying data to create an original inventory record for each inventory item;
- automatically associating an original inventory record with the at least one inputting user who input the representative identifying data;
- creating an inventory list of all original inventory records;
- accepting at least one search criteria from at least one non-inputting user;
- comparing the at least one search criteria to the inventory list;
- creating a subset list of inventory records based on the comparison of the at least one search criteria and inventory list;
- displaying the subset list to the at least one non-inputting user;
- permitting the at least one non-inputting user to selectively associate the at least one inventory item as their own inventory and create at least one non-inputting inventory record;
- automatically aggregating each non-inputting inventory record to the inventory list;
- and
- storing the inventory list on the databases;
- removing an original inventory record from the inventory list as the result of an event;
- and
- removing any non-inputting inventory record associated with the removed original inventory record.
A system for aggregating inventory, comprising:
- a computer system with a plurality of remote network access points;
- a database in communication with the plurality of network access points;
- an inputting user interface for supplying information about at least one item of inventory from at least one of the network access points to create at least one original inventory record on the database;
- and
- at least one non-inputting user interface capable of viewing the original inventory record and altering information to create a non-inputting inventory record
- wherein the database aggregates the original inventory record and all non-inputting inventory records to create an inventory list, and stores the inventory list on the database.
- wherein the database is configured to remove an original inventory record from the inventory list as the result of an event,
- wherein the database further configured to remove any non-inputting inventory record associated with the removed original inventory record.
