Abstract
A method for providing comparative fitting and sizing recommendations for saddles, saddle trees, and horse tack, using data from manufacturers which is formatted and stored in a database, a mobile device to capture data from an individual horse, formatting the horse's data for analysis, comparing the manufacturers' data with the horse's data via algorithms, fuzzy logic, and heuristics, and returning a recommendation of “best fit” match within user-determined selection criteria.
Claims39
A method for providing comparative fitting and sizing recommendations for saddles, saddle trees, and horse tack, said method comprising the following steps:
- A. obtain data from a plurality of manufacturers, whereby for each said manufacturer said data comprises specifications for one or more products, said products being of the group of saddles, saddle trees, and horse tack manufactured by said manufacturer;
- B. format said data obtained from said plurality of manufacturers;
- C. store said data obtained from said plurality of manufacturers in a database;
- D. obtain biometric data from an individual horse using a device to capture said biometric data from said horse.
- E. format said biometric data obtained from said horse;
- F. store said biometric data obtained from said horse in the database;
- G. for at least two of the plurality of manufacturers, perform a comparison of at least some of each said manufacturers' data with said horse's biometric data for the purpose of determining “fit” between said manufacturer's data and said horse's biometric data;
- H. rank results of the comparison;
- and
- I. return a recommendation of one or more “best fit” matches;
- whereby
- steps A and D occur in any order relative to each other,
- steps B, C, E, and F occur in any order relative to each other, except that step B occurs after step A, step C occurs after step B, step E occurs after step D, and step F occurs after step E,
- step G occurs after steps C and F,
- step H occurs after step G, and
- step I occurs after step H.
A method for providing comparative fitting and sizing recommendations for saddles, saddle trees, and horse tack, said method comprising the following steps:
- A. obtain biometric data from an individual horse using a device to capture said biometric data from said horse.
- B. format said biometric data obtained from said horse;
- C. store said biometric data obtained from said horse in a database;
- D. for at least two of the plurality of manufacturers, compare said horse's biometric data against at least some of each said manufacturers' data, whereby for each said manufacturer said manufacturer's data comprises specifications for one or more products belonging to one or more of the group of saddles, saddle trees, and horse tack manufactured by said manufacturer, said comparison being for the purpose of determining “fit” between each said manufacturer's data and said horse's biometric data;
- E. rank results of the comparison;
- and
- F. return a recommendation of one or more “best fit” matches;
- whereby
- steps A through F occur in the order presented.
