System, Method, and Computer-Readable Storage Medium For Identifying A Product

A method to identify a product, the method comprising:

• receiving a product identifier from a client device;
• accessing product data associated with the product identifier, the product data including sets of data elements originating from respective sources, the sets of data elements including one or more corresponding data elements across at least some of the sources;
• identifying one or more agreements or disagreements between the sets of data elements including the one or more corresponding data elements;
• generating identification scores for respective sets of data elements, each identification score being generated based on the one or more agreements or disagreements, and further based on a trust score for the source from which the set of data elements originates;
• causing communication of a selected set of data elements to the client device, the respective set of data elements being selected from the sets of data elements based on the generated identification scores,
• wherein receiving the product identifier, accessing the product data, identifying the one or more agreements or disagreements, generating the identification scores, and causing communication of the selected set of data elements are operations performed by a product-identification computer including a processor and memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the product-identification computer to perform the respective operations.

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein that, in response to execution by a processor, cause a product-identification computer to at least:

• receive a product identifier from a client device;
• access product data associated with the product identifier, the product data including sets of data elements originating from respective sources, the sets of data elements including one or more corresponding data elements across at least some of the sources;
• identify one or more agreements or disagreements between the sets of data elements including the one or more corresponding data elements;
• generate identification scores for respective sets of data elements, each identification score being generated based on the one or more agreements or disagreements, and further based on a trust score for the source from which the set of data elements originates;
• and
• cause communication of a selected set of data elements to the client device, the respective set of data elements being selected from the sets of data elements based on the generated identification scores.
