The granted patent US12045899B2 describes a non-transitory data storage device that incorporates computer code designed to enhance property information visualization and analysis. When executed by a processor, the code generates a map image of a geographical area alongside alphanumeric characters that detail properties within that area. The system allows users to interact with the map by selecting an icon that represents a specific property, which, when hovered over, highlights relevant property information. Additionally, the device performs two types of multivariable regressions—property-characteristics and property-condition regressions—utilizing distinct sets of explanatory variables to derive a property-condition index for the geographical area.

Further functionalities of the device include the ability to display the map in full screen and sort property information based on specific characteristics. The alphanumeric data can be derived from appraisal reports and may include insights identified through regression analysis. The first set of explanatory variables may encompass factors such as gross living area and the number of bathrooms, while the second set may include condition remarks and the year built. The device also facilitates the reception of property information via a distributed network, enhancing its capability to provide comprehensive and updated property data to users.
