According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention describes an online resource exchange system developed specifically for academic institutions to support the organized sharing and reuse of educational materials. The platform enables verified students and faculty members to list unused or surplus resources such as textbooks, handwritten notes, stationery, lab equipment, and digital study materials. By allowing these items to be exchanged within the institution, the system reduces unnecessary purchases and promotes sustainable academic practices. Access to the platform is secured through authenticated login, ensuring that only authorized members can participate in the exchange process. Once logged in, users can post detailed resource listings, browse available items, and make use of an intelligent search feature that helps them quickly locate relevant materials. The system also includes a structured request mechanism through which users can formally show interest in a listed resource. To improve user interaction, a built-in messaging feature allows participants to communicate easily, while real-time notifications keep them informed about new requests, approvals, and updates related to their exchanges. A centralized database maintains all user actions, resource details, and transaction records, ensuring transparency, security, and traceability. Administrators can oversee activities, verify listings, and ensure compliance with institutional policies. Additionally, the system incorporates computational techniques to enhance the relevance of search results, match users with suitable resources, and improve overall performance as more data is collected. By enabling the redistribution of educational materials, the invention encourages efficient resource usage, reduces financial burden on students, and supports an environmentally responsible learning culture. It also fosters collaboration within the academic community by offering a user-friendly and well-organized platform for resource exchange."
