  • Customer preference driven vehicle supply management system
    Patent number: 12682379
    Abstract: A system includes an application configured to, based on user inputs, generate a target vehicle specification, and a database including a collection of inventory specifications of vehicles in a vehicle inventory. The system also includes a spec encoder configured to: encode the target vehicle specification as a first code; encode the collection of inventory specifications as a collection of second codes; and map the target vehicle specification and inventory specifications into a multidimensional space. The multidimensional space includes one dimension for each specification category. A preference class vector includes a weight for each dimension. A matching engine, based on the preference class vector, defines a search neighborhood around the target specification in the multidimensional space; identifies inventory specifications that fall within the search neighborhood, computes match scores for the identified vehicles; and reports the match scores and corresponding vehicles.
