Abstract

A system and method for acquiring, collecting, comparing and evaluating the condition of rental property at several time periods during a lease or rental agreement. A first image is compared to a second image, a deposit amount remaining is calculated based on the image comparison. The remaining deposit amount is paid using an electronic format.

Claims

1. A method of determining property condition using a CPU and a memory operatively connected to the CPU and containing a program adapted to be executed by the CPU for comparing two images and calculating a remaining deposit amount comprising:

receiving a first image from a image capture device;

receiving a second image from the image capture device;

executing the program in the CPU for comparing the first image to the second image and determining the remaining deposit amount based on the image comparison.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the remaining deposit amount payment to a user in an electronic format.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising transmitting the remaining deposit amount information to a third party in an electronic format.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first and second images are created from a standard film-loading camera, digital camera, camcorder, camera phone, video recorder.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein each image is geotagged, time stamped and date stamped.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first image and the second image comprises a list of items.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first image and the second image comprises a picture.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the first image and the second image comprises a video.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein determining the remaining deposit amount includes using previous information.

10. A system for determining property condition, comprising:

a memory storing a program;

a processor in communication with the memory wherein the processor is directed by the program to;

compare at least two images; and

determine the remaining deposit amount based on the image comparison.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein comparing the two images comprises a time stamp, date stamp and geotag comparison.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein determining the remaining deposit amount includes using previous information.

13. The system of claim 10 further comprises transmitting the remaining deposit amount payment to a user in an electronic format.

14. A computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that direct a microprocessor to:

compare at least two images;

determine a remaining deposit amount based on the image comparison; and

send payment via an electronic format.

15. A method of determining property condition using a CPU and a memory operatively connected to the CPU and containing a program adapted to be executed by the CPU for comparing two documents and calculating a remaining deposit amount comprising:

receiving a first document;

receiving a second document;

executing the program in the CPU for comparing the first document to the second document and determining the remaining deposit amount based on the document comparison.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of transmitting the remaining deposit amount payment to a user in an electronic format.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein determining the remaining deposit amount includes using previous information.
