Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a credibility rating and management system. The credibility rating and management system can be shared amongst any number of independent systems. The credibility rating and management system collects data points from each of the participant systems, tracks user profiles across each of the participant systems and generates a rating for each user profile. Associated systems can then query the credibility rating and management system to obtain the credibility rating for a user and incorporate the credibility ratings into their own systems.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- collecting feedback data from a plurality of independent systems for a specific user by a data collection module;
- and
- calculating a credibility rating from the feedback data for the user by a credibility rating module.
A system comprising:
- a data collection module to manage user specific feedback data obtained from a plurality of independent systems;
- and
- a credibility rating module coupled to the data collection module, the credibility rating module to calculate a user specific credibility rating for a specific user based on the user specific feedback data.
A computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a set of operations comprising:
- collecting feedback data from a plurality of independent systems for a specific user by a data collection module;
- and
- calculating a credibility rating from the feedback data for the user by a credibility rating module.
