Abstract: An automated process (and system) for facilitating the creation of a frame based Knowledge tree for use with a configuration system is provided. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a database induction module interacts with a user interface and a vendor provided database containing product information in the form of database files. The user sets induction preferences via a graphical user interface, and the induction module accesses product information from the client database file and automatically generates a frame based product knowledge tree in light of the user's preferences, where the frame based product knowledge tree is intended for use with a configuration system for configuring certain desired products, services, or other assemblages.

Abstract: In accordance with preferred embodiments and applications of the invention, an automated custom configuration system (and method) is provided for facilitating the configuration and customization of desired products, services, or other objects that require users to gather and assimilate disparate relevant information (e.g., knowledge of makes, models, types, features, options, limitations, codes, and prices of the desired product/service (or group of the same) to be configured and customized). In accordance with a preferred embodiment, custom configuration may be facilitated through a parametric drawing engine which provides illustrations of configuration data. User modification of an element of an illustrated object may cause the parametric drawing engine to determine and display a corresponding modification in the remaining elements of the illustration such that the connections of the modified element to the remaining elements remains the same and the parameters of the object adhere to the relevant design rules, or other requirements of a given vendor or manufacturer. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a change in an attribute of an element of an illustrated object (e.g., color, material, texture, etc.) causes the engine to determine and display corresponding changes in the attributes of certain other elements.
