According to GlobalData’s company profile on Procore Technologies, 3d modelling and rendering was a key innovation area identified from patents. Procore Technologies's grant share as of July 2024 was 40%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
The granted patent US12067648B2 describes a computing system designed to analyze two-dimensional (2D) drawings by comparing their structural elements. The system includes at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores program instructions. These instructions enable the system to obtain collections of data libraries associated with intersection points of lines in two separate 2D drawings. The system identifies lines that are aligned with the x-axis or y-axis to a specified threshold and determines intersection points, particularly those located at the outermost edges of the drawings. By comparing the data libraries from both drawings, the system can ascertain whether they represent the same portion of a real-world environment.
The patent further details methods for identifying and analyzing the lines and intersection points within the drawings. It specifies that lines must be oriented within five degrees of the axes to be considered aligned. The system can also rotate the drawings to achieve the necessary alignment before analysis. Additionally, the program instructions allow for the retrieval of drawings based on user input and the omission of non-aligned lines from the displayed representation. The comparison process includes determining scale factors and assessing location information to ensure accurate matching of the drawings. Overall, the patent outlines a systematic approach to comparing 2D drawings, enhancing the ability to recognize and relate different representations of the same real-world environment.
