Abstract
Resource visualization, evaluation, and selection is often a difficult, complex, technically challenging endeavor. This is particularly true when there the resource set is extensive, the resources have widely varying attributes and capabilities, and the resources are also widely disbursed geographically. A multi-dimensional resource evaluation and visualization system implements technical solutions to these technical challenges.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a geographic data storage layer configured to store:
- geographic data for a pre-determined geography;
- and
- time zone boundaries that divide the pre-determined geography into different time zones;
- a resource data storage layer configured to store:
- resource identifiers for available resources in the pre-determined geography;
- resource locations for the available resources in the pre-determined geography;
- and
- resource descriptors for the available resources;
- virtual reality interface circuitry in communication with the geographic data storage layer and the resource data storage layer, the virtual reality interface circuitry comprising a VR processor configured to:
- control one or more control peripheral interfaces to connect with a virtual reality control peripheral;
- control view rendering circuitry to generate a resource analysis visualization comprising the available resources rendered on the pre-determined geography and path waypoints rendered on the pre-determined geography;
- control view guidance circuitry to:
- accept selection inputs from the virtual reality control peripheral that specify selected resources among the available resources for designated waypoints among the path waypoints;
- and
- communication circuitry comprising a communication processor configured to control transmission of resource selection messages to the selected resources for the designated waypoints.

A system comprising:
- a data storage layer configured to store:
- a project path definition comprising path waypoints located within a pre-determined geography;
- geographic data representing the pre-determined geography;
- and
- resource descriptors for available resources within the pre-determined geography;
- and
- visualization circuitry in communication with the data storage layer, the visualization circuitry comprising a visualization processor configured to:
- control view rendering circuitry to render a resource analysis visualization comprising the pre-determined geography represented by the geographic data, the path waypoints rendered on the pre-determined geography, and resource identifiers rendered on the pre-determined geography and linked to the resource descriptors;
- and
- control view guidance circuitry to:
- accept guidance inputs from input devices;
- and
- direct the view rendering circuitry to update the resource analysis visualization responsive to the guidance inputs;
- and
- path planning circuitry comprising a path planning processor configured to:
- determine a waypoint distribution of at least one of the path waypoints across a selected time zone boundary and into a different time zone than other path waypoints to define a segment of continuous project flow.
