Abstract
Described herein are a method and a system to monitor one or more items offered for sale by sellers in a network-based market place. In addition to the information provided by the sellers to describe the items, interested buyers may also provide their own information to further describe the items for the benefit of the buyers.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- providing, to a first computing device, a first user interface comprising first item information related to a listing of a first item in a network-based publication application, the first item information identifying a first user account, a first price item attribute, and a first remaining time attribute;
- receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of an interest indication of the first item;
- providing, to the first computing device, a second user interface comprising second item information related to a listing of a second item in the network-based publication application, the second item information identifying a second user account, a second price item attribute, and a second remaining time attribute;
- receiving, via the second user interface, a selection of an interest indication of the second item after receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first item;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first and second items, providing, to the first computing device, a monitoring user interface consolidating the first and second item information into a single graphical user interface,
- the monitoring user interface comprising a first adjustable visual interface indicating the first item rating information that corresponds to a relative preference of a user of the first computing device for the first item identified by the selection of the interest indication, and a second adjustable visual interface indicating the second item rating information that corresponds to a relative preference of the user of the first computing device for the second item identified by the selection of the interest indication, the first adjustable visual interface comprising a first interactive graph, the second adjustable visual interface comprising a second interactive graph,
- the monitoring user interface being dynamically updated based on updated first and second item information without the first computing device accessing the first user interface and the second user interface subsequent to receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first and second item,
- dynamically adjusting a display order of the first and second items in the monitoring user interface based on a combination of the corresponding levels of the first interactive graph and the second interactive graph, and a rating of the first user account and a second user account.

A server comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, the instructions providing operations for:
- providing, to a first computing device, a first user interface comprising first item information related to a listing of a first item in a network-based publication application, the first item information identifying a first user account, a first price item attribute, and a first remaining time attribute;
- receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of an interest indication of the first item;
- providing, to the first computing device, a second user interface comprising second item information related to a listing of a second item in the network-based publication application, the second item information identifying a second user account, a second price item attribute, and a second remaining time attribute;
- receiving, via the second user interface, a selection of an interest indication of the second item after receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first item;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first and second items, providing, to the first computing device, a monitoring user interface consolidating the first and second item information into a single graphical user interface,
- the monitoring user interface comprising a first adjustable visual interface indicating the first item rating information that corresponds to a relative preference of a user of the first computing device for the first item identified by the selection of the interest indication, and a second adjustable visual interface indicating the second item rating information that corresponds to a relative preference of the user of the first computing device for the second item identified by the selection of the interest indication, the first adjustable visual interface comprising a first interactive graph, the second adjustable visual interface comprising a second interactive graph,
- the monitoring user interface being dynamically updated based on updated first and second item information without the first computing device accessing the first user interface and the second user interface subsequent to receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first and second item,
- dynamically adjusting a display order of the first and second items in the monitoring user interface based on a combination of the corresponding levels of the first interactive graph and the second interactive graph, and a rating of the first user account and a second user account.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- providing, to a first computing device, a first user interface comprising first item information related to a listing of a first item in a network-based publication application, the first item information identifying a first user account, a first price item attribute, and a first remaining time attribute;
- receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of an interest indication of the first item;
- providing, to the first computing device, a second user interface comprising second item information related to a listing of a second item in the network-based publication application, the second item information identifying a second user account, a second price item attribute, and a second remaining time attribute;
- receiving, via the second user interface, a selection of an interest indication of the second item after receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first item;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first and second items, providing, to the first computing device, a monitoring user interface consolidating the first and second item information into a single graphical user interface,
- the monitoring user interface comprising a first adjustable visual interface indicating the first item rating information that corresponds to a relative preference of a user of the first computing device for the first item identified by the selection of the interest indication, and a second adjustable visual interface indicating the second item rating information that corresponds to a relative preference of the user of the first computing device for the second item identified by the selection of the interest indication, the first adjustable visual interface comprising a first interactive graph, the second adjustable visual interface comprising a second interactive graph,
- the monitoring user interface being dynamically updated based on updated first and second item information without the first computing device accessing the first user interface and the second user interface subsequent to receiving the selection of the interest indication of the first and second item,
- dynamically adjusting a display order of the first and second items in the monitoring user interface based on a combination of the corresponding levels of the first interactive graph and the second interactive graph, and a rating of the first user account and a second user account.
