US 2012/0260209 A1 · Visualization Tools for Reviewing Credibility and Stateful Hierarchical Access to Credibility

Abstract

Some embodiments provide a credibility system including an interface portal for presenting a holistic view of entity credibility. To provide the holistic view, the credibility system aggregates credibility data from multiple data sources. The aggregated credibility data is processed and ordered to present different dimensions of entity credibility, with each dimension graphically presented in the interface portal through an interactive credibility module. In some embodiments, the credibility data associated with each credibility module is processed to produce at least one value that quantifiably represents the credibility data. In some embodiments, the credibility data associated with each credibility module is hierarchically ordered to present the credibility data in a drill-down fashion with each hierarchical layer presenting more detailed credibility data for better understanding the credibility data presented in the preceding layer.

Claims23

Dependent claims

A graphical user interface (GUI) comprising:

an input field for specifying a specific entity;
a display area;
and
a set of selectable graphical elements comprising at least:
a first selectable graphical element populating said display area with credibility data presenting a first dimension of credibility for the specific entity when said first selectable graphical element is selected;
and
a second selectable graphical element populating said display area with credibility data presenting a second dimension of credibility for said specific entity when said second selectable graphical element is selected, wherein at least said first dimension and said second dimension of credibility compile overall credibility of the specific entity, wherein the credibility data presenting the first dimension of credibility is different than the credibility data presenting the second dimension of credibility.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, said program for interactively accessing credibility of an entity, wherein said program instructs a microprocessor of the verification system to perform sets of instructions for:

parsing a data structure comprising credibility data that is associated with a plurality of credibility dimensions for said entity, wherein each credibility dimension of the plurality of credibility dimensions is a particular derivative of overall credibility for said entity, and wherein said credibility data is aggregated from a plurality of data sources;
generating a plurality of selectable graphical elements for graphically accessing credibility data that is associated with each credibility dimension of the plurality of credibility dimensions;
and
providing an interface (i) displaying the plurality of selectable graphical elements, (ii) displaying credibility data for a credibility dimension that is associated with a graphical element that a user selects from the plurality of selectable graphical elements.
