Abstract
An entertaining and informative method of displaying competitive product performance data is disclosed. The various embodiments include a method for displaying product performance data by use of animated contests between animated representatives of competing products. The contest results are relative to selected product test results. The relationship between the test results and the contest results is a mathematical approximation. Thus, a gross disparity in the displayed animated contest is indicative of a gross disparity in the performance of the products on the test. Likewise, a closely fought contest in the displayed animated contest is indicative of close performance of the products on the test.
Claims29
A method of displaying competitive product performance data, comprising:
- providing a plurality of animated graphic files, each animated graphic file depicting a contest between at least a first entity representing a first product and a second entity representing a second product;
- providing a numeric interval comprising a substantially continuous numeric scale;
- dividing the numeric interval into a plurality of numeric ranges;
- associating each numeric range with an animated graphic file;
- determining a first product value representing the first product's performance on a test;
- determining a second product value representing the second product's performance on the test;
- solving for a numeric contest value by mathematical relationship between the first product value and the second product value;
- determining which numeric range includes the contest value;
- selecting the animated graphic file associated with the numeric range which includes the contest value;
- and,
- wherein the selected animated graphic file may be displayed.
