Mobile Digital Property Portfolio Management System

Abstract

A mobile property portfolio management system provides the capability of generating, maintaining, searching and displaying property portfolio data from a mobile device such as a smartphone (e.g., iPhone), tablet (e.g., iPad) or any other mobile computing device. The property portfolio management system comprises a mobile or client portion, a central or server portion and optional satellite offices. The system comprises software that runs on one or more server computers as well as client or user side software that can be realized as a standalone software application or “app” that runs on the client device (e.g., desktop, mobile device, tablet, etc.) or entirely in a standard web browser. The property portfolio management system in effect provides a digital version of a property portfolio with easy access to portfolio data for both internal users and public users and is particularly useful when realized on a tablet or mobile device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of viewing a property portfolio on a mobile device, said method comprising:
 providing an application on said mobile device for dynamic, interactive viewing and management of an electronic real estate property portfolio, said electronic property portfolio generated from property portfolio data entered by a user and stored in a database;   in response to a user command to view property portfolio data, retrieving property portfolio data from said database; and   formatting and displaying property portfolio data corresponding to said user command to said user.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said central database resides in a cloud based data storage facility. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said central database resides on a remote server in communication with said mobile device over the Internet. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said central database resides locally on said mobile device. 
     
     
         5 . A software application product that when executed on a processor in a mobile device is operative to:
 provide dynamic, interactive viewing and management of an electronic real estate property portfolio, said electronic real estate property portfolio generated from property related data stored in a database;   in response to a user request for data, send a request to said database for real estate property portfolio data corresponding to said user requests;   receive from said server, in response to said request, a response containing requested real estate property portfolio data; and   format and display said real estate property portfolio data received in said response to said user.   
     
     
         6 . The software application product according to  claim 5 , wherein said database resides in a cloud based data storage facility. 
     
     
         7 . The software application product according to  claim 5 , wherein said database resides locally on said mobile device. 
     
     
         8 . A computer program product for viewing an electronic property portfolio, the computer program product comprising:
 a non-transitory computer usable storage medium having computer usable code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:   computer usable code configured for receiving a request from a user over a network for information about one or more properties in said property portfolio, said property portfolio generated from user entered property portfolio related data and stored in a central database;   computer usable code configured for in response to said request, retrieving data corresponding to said request for information about one or more properties from said central database; and   computer usable code configured for serving said requested data to said user over said network.   
     
     
         9 . The computer program product according to claim  88 , wherein said central database resides in a cloud based data storage facility.
