Continuum-based selection of product choice

A computer-implemented method that facilitates searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and relevance-indicating visual representations, the method comprising the steps of:

• presenting a continuum-based selector to a user and at least one product choice visual representation, the continuum-based selector being based on a continuum between a plurality of attribute criteria, the plurality of attribute criteria including first attribute criteria and second attribute criteria, and
• the continuum-based selector providing a relative preference adjustment between the first attribute criteria and the second attribute criteria, and
• presenting the user, upon the user presenting an interest in the first attribute criteria through the continuum-based selector, with additional more particularized criteria related to the first attribute criteria;
• receiving at least one input indicating at least one user interest value, the at least one input representing a relative preference between the plurality of attribute criteria, and the receiving at least one input being performed by the user interfacing with the continuum-based selector;
• comparing the at least one user interest value with a stored result value for at least one product choice, the comparing utilizing a ratio relationship between the at least one user interest value and a stored result value for at least one product choice;
• generating a unique weighing value for at least one product choice compared based on the ratio relationship, and
• presenting at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation.

A computer readable storage medium that stores computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions facilitating searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and relevance indicating visual representations when executed by one or more processing devices, the computer readable storage medium constituted by non-transitory machine-readable medium, the computer readable instructions comprising:

• logic configured to present a continuum-based selector to a user and at least one product choice visual representation, the continuum-based selector being based on a continuum between a plurality of attribute criteria, the plurality of attribute criteria including first attribute criteria and second attribute criteria, and
• the continuum-based selector providing a relative preference adjustment between the first attribute criteria and the second attribute criteria, and
• presenting the user, upon the user presenting an interest in the first attribute criteria through the continuum-based selector, with additional, more particularized criteria related to the first attribute criteria;
• logic configured to receive at least one input indicating at least one user interest value, the at least one input comprising a relative preference between the plurality of attribute criteria,
• and
• the logic configured to receive the at least one input by the user interfacing with the continuum-based selector;
• logic configured to compare user interest values with at least one product choice, such comparison utilizing a ratio relationship between the user interest value and stored result values for at least one product choice;
• logic configured to generate unique weighing values for each product choice compared based on the ratio relationship;
• and
• logic configured to present at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation.
