Southern University College

Invention Description/ Abstract:

This invention presents a unified mobile platform for household services, designed to simplify the way individuals access and manage essential daily tasks. The system brings together diverse services such as plumbing, wiring, gardening, cleaning, and errands into a single, convenient application.

The platform responds to the challenges of fragmented apps, unreliable providers, and inconvenient access, which currently limit consumer trust and efficiency. By providing a centralized hub, the application improves accessibility for users of all backgrounds, including the elderly and people with limited mobility, while creating income opportunities for local service providers.

A distinguishing element of this invention is its dual value creation: users gain reliable and easy service access, while providers benefit from structured job opportunities and fair income generation. Through features such as commission models, subscription options, referral incentives, and transparent ratings to be implemented in the future, the platform fosters trust, fairness, and scalability.

The broader impact includes enhancing community convenience, promoting digital inclusion, and driving local economic growth by empowering micro-entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the invention supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, showcasing the role of digital innovation in advancing modern service ecosystems.

Ultimately, this invention redefines household service delivery by bridging consumers and providers in one integrated ecosystem, ensuring reliability, transparency, and long-term sustainability.

Invention Technical Description

The invention is implemented as a modular on-demand service application with a robust architecture that emphasizes scalability, performance, and security.

Technology Stack
Frontend: Flutter enables cross-platform deployment (iOS/Android) with native-like performance.
Backend: Laravel framework ensures a secure API-driven communication layer with efficient business logic processing.
Database: MySQL handles structured records for users, services, transactions, and reviews.
UI Layer: Bootstrap ensures responsive, accessible layouts across devices.

System Modules
Authentication & Roles – Secure login with role-based privileges (user, provider, admin).
Service Booking Engine – Real-time availability, scheduling, and geo-location matching.
Payment & Wallet – Supports commission handling, subscription plans, and automated payouts.
Notification System – Push alerts for confirmations, cancellations, and task updates.
Review & Rating Mechanism – Maintains transparency and service quality.
Admin Console – Dashboard for oversight, performance monitoring, and dispute handling.

Key Technical Innovations
Scalable Microservice-Like Design: Each service type (plumbing, wiring, gardening) functions as a modular unit, enabling easy extension without disrupting the system.
Preference-Based Matching Algorithm: Optimizes provider assignment using availability, skills, and past performance metrics.
Data Security: Encrypted transactions (SSL/TLS), database backup strategies, and two-factor authentication for financial interactions.
Future-Ready Integration: Built to incorporate AI-powered recommendations and IoT-enabled smart home monitoring.
By focusing on efficient architecture and modular growth, the invention provides a technically reliable solution to consolidate fragmented service systems into a single, adaptive platform.
