Patent number: 10726450Abstract: Embodiments including a system for searching through a database using two or three dimensional data or data derived from the two three dimensional data. The database may be populated by searching a network environment to compile two dimensional image or three dimensional model data. A search for two or three dimensional data may be utilized to determine related advertisements that may be shown on a results page in connection with the search results. A database being searched may contain pricing data related to products that are associated with two or three dimensional data.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: NextPat LimitedInventors: Mark S.
