Patent ID: 7904393

Claim:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of indexing and displaying interests in real property tracts comprising: accepting input of real property descriptions; accepting input of real property interests; maintaining a database containing interests in real property descriptions; creating an array index representing interests in real property tracts where each index in the array index represents a tract of real property, wherein the array index is comprised of a first field containing a legal description of real property; a second field containing ownership information of the real property including mineral and surface interests; and a third field containing property tracts or portions of property tracts with conflicting interests; a fourth field containing a prospect name; a fifth field containing a prospect identification number; indexing of the property descriptions in the database to the related indices in the array index; and controlling a visual display device to indicate conflicting and non-conflicting interests in real property tracts; wherein the information in the array index is compared to determine whether more than one party has an interest in the property; wherein the array index is updated to reflect any non-conflicting or conflicting property interests using unique symbols to represent both non-conflicting or conflicting property interests wherein the visual display device is updated with different symbols to reflect a complete or partial interest in the tract; wherein the visual display device is updated with different colors to reflect a conflict in the tract.
