Abstract
A computer-implemented method for responding to user behaviors includes storing category specifications for a plurality of categories configured to characterize users, storing categories for users in a computer network system, detecting behaviors of a user in real time, and determining in real time if the behaviors of the user is within a first category specification associated with a first category that the user is tagged with. If the behaviors of the user exceed the first category specification, the method assigns a second category to the user in real time in response to the detected user behaviors.
Claims12
A system for providing relevant products to users, comprising:
- a data storage configured to store a first category bound by a first numeric range in a data structure, wherein the first numeric range is defined by a first limit and a second limit, wherein a first user is tagged with the first category,
- wherein the data storage is configured to store a second category bound by a second numeric range in the data structure, wherein the second numeric range is defined by at least a third limit, wherein the second numeric range is different from the first numeric range;
- one or more computer processors configured to automatically detect in real time an action of the first user associated with the second numeric range,
- wherein the one or more computer processors are configured to automatically calculate a probabilistic function in real time in part based on the action of the first user, which produces a probability, wherein the probabilistic function is at least dependent on the first limit, the second limit, the third limit,
- wherein the one or more computer processors are configured to automatically determining if the probability is above a threshold value, and if the probability is above a threshold value, to automatically tag the first user with the second category;
- and
- a manufacturing facility configured to produce a personalized product for the first user in accordance with the second category.
