Abstract
Described herein are examples of housing slot exchanges. Embodiments may include a housing module, a destination housing module slot, a logistics subsystem, and a controller. The housing module may provide a living space for a user. The logistics subsystem may provide a living space for a user. The controller may include a processor. The processor may issue tokens to users, receive bids for housing module slots, assign housing slots to users, associate bids from users with housing slots, and issue housing module move instructions to the logistics subsystem.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a housing module configured to provide a living space for a user;
- a destination housing module development comprising a destination housing module building, wherein:
- the destination housing module building includes a destination housing module slot;
- the destination housing module building includes a utilities interface configured to interface between one or more utilities and the housing module;
- an origination housing module development comprising an origination housing module building, wherein:
- the origination housing module building includes an origination housing module slot;
- and
- the origination housing module building includes a further utilities interface configured to interface between one or more further utilities and the housing module;
- a logistics subsystem comprising:
- an inter-development housing module transport configured to transport the housing module from the origination housing module development and to transport the housing module to the destination housing module development;
- and
- an inter-building housing module transport configured to transport the housing module from the origination housing module building within the origination housing module development and to transport the housing module to the destination housing module building within the destination housing module development;
- wherein:
- the logistics subsystem is configured to, in response to a housing module move instruction issued by a controller, transport the housing module from the origination housing module slot and transport the housing module to the destination housing module slot;
- and
- the controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- an electronic storage device in electronic communication with the processor, the electronic storage device having a token balance database and a housing module assignment database stored thereon;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- issue a plurality of tokens to the user, thereby yielding a user token balance;
- record the user token balance in the token balance database;
- receive a bid for the housing module slot, the bid corresponding to a portion of the user token balance;
- assign the housing slot to the user;
- record the assignment of the housing slot to the user in the housing module assignment database;
- associate the bid from the user token balance with the housing slot;
- and
- issue the housing module move instruction to the logistics subsystem to transport the housing module to the destination housing module slot.

A method, comprising:
- providing a housing module configured to provide a living space for a user;
- providing a destination housing module development comprising a destination housing module building, wherein:
- the destination housing module building includes a destination housing module slot;
- the destination housing module building includes a utilities interface configured to interface between one or more utilities and the housing module;
- providing a logistics subsystem comprising:
- an inter-development housing module transport configured to transport the housing module to the destination housing module development;
- and
- an inter-building housing module transport configured to transport the housing module to the destination housing module building within the destination housing module development;
- wherein:
- the logistics subsystem is configured to, in response to a housing module move instruction issued by a controller, transport the housing module to the destination housing module slot;
- and
- the controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- an electronic storage device in electronic communication with the processor, the electronic storage device having a token balance database and a housing module assignment database stored thereon;
- using the processor:
- issuing a plurality of tokens to the user, thereby yielding a user token balance;
- recording the user token balance in the token balance database;
- receiving a bid for the housing module slot, the bid corresponding to a portion of the user token balance;
- assigning the housing slot to the user;
- recording the assignment of the housing slot to the user in the housing module assignment database;
- associating the bid from the user token balance with the housing slot;
- and
- issuing the housing module move instruction to the logistics subsystem to transport the housing module to the destination housing module slot.
