DATA AGGREGATION SYSTEM

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to data aggregation systems and methods and, more particularly, to the data aggregation systems and methods for human beings, animals and plants.

BACKGROUND

During the last several years, the advancements in technology have had a tremendous impact on lives of all living creatures. There are various real life scenarios where use of internet, electronics and communication devices such as personal computers, sensing networks and devices, hand-held personal organizers and computerized automotive controls have changed one's daily life. Most of technologies have made performing the task easier for human beings rather than helping them with their decision-making.

In the present scenario, a person, or technology user, has to make various decisions associated with his/her profession, career and other decisions associated with various other entities such as animals belonging to them or owned by them, animals in vicinity of their area or place and the like. However, these decisions taken by technology users, or users, may backfire on them as these decisions are merely based on a personal view or judgment. More often than not, the users do not have an aggregated data of various activities performed by him over a past few years, his likes and dislikes, personal interests and the like. Further, as animals have become an important part in the lives of the humans, it is a common trend to see a person owning and raising an animal. More often than not, the humans have a tendency to ignore value and importance of taking decisions for the animals owned by them. Moreover, the humans do not have aggregated data associated with one or more animals owned by them or the one or more animals living in the vicinity. Furthermore, it is important for users to have detailed information about the animals which they want to buy or the animals which are located in their area.

In addition, various stake-holders (for example, guardians) play an important role in assisting their children (the users) on various fundamental decisions. The stake-holders do not have a single point of viewing and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data.

In light of the above stated discussion, there is a need for a method and system which provide a single point for collection, aggregation, visualization and selective distribution of the quantitative and the qualitative data.

SUMMARY

The present invention aims to overcome the above mentioned limitations and other problems associated with the prior art.

The present disclosure provides a method and a system for data aggregation for human beings, animals and plants in general. The data aggregation system is a single point for collection, aggregation, visualization, and selective distribution of quantitative and qualitative data. The data aggregation system provides development tools and assessment tools. The quantitative and qualitative data pertains to various domains which include sports, education, music, healthcare, animals and the like. The data aggregation system includes facilitating the plurality of users and a plurality of stake-holders to enter the qualitative and quantitative data on a web-based platform, collecting the qualitative and quantitative data, analyzing the qualitative and quantitative data, aggregating and visualizing the qualitative and quantitative data, and selectively distributing the qualitative and quantitative data to the plurality of users and the plurality of stake-holders.
