Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein can allow an inspector or other user to sketch a floor plan on a customized graph template. The graph template can be customized by a system based on the property the user is visiting. The user can take a picture of the customized graph template with a mobile computing device. An application executing on the mobile computing device or a server can transform the sketch in the picture into a floor plan.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for generating a floor plan, the instructions causing a processor to perform stages including:
- generating a first graph template for printing, wherein the first graph template includes an information region and a graph region;
- capturing a photograph of the first graph template;
- analyzing the photograph to retrieve a property characteristic from the information region;
- vectorizing the graph region to transform a sketch into a floor plan;
- and
- storing the property characteristic with the floor plan.
A system for managing user mobile devices in an environment, the system comprising:
- a database that stores property information and user information;
- at least one processor that performs stages including:
- generating a first graph template for printing based on the property information, wherein the first graph template includes an information region and a graph region;
- analyzing a photograph to retrieve a property characteristic from the information region;
- vectorizing the graph region to transform a sketch into a floor plan;
- and
- storing the property characteristic and the floor plan with the property information in the database.
A computer-implemented method, including:
- generating a first graph template for printing, wherein the first graph template includes an information region and a graph region;
- capturing a photograph of the first graph template;
- analyzing the photograph to retrieve a property characteristic from the information region;
- vectorizing the graph region to transform a sketch into a floor plan;
- and
- storing the property characteristic with the floor plan.
