Abstract
A system, method and device generate a score for a marketed offering. In one embodiment, the system has a data storage device storing data associated with a contributor-derived factor, a supplemental factor and at least one mathematical formula.
Claims20
A method for generating a score, the method comprising:
- operating at least one processor in accordance with a plurality of computer-readable instructions, the at least one processor performing a plurality of steps including:
- (a) receiving data associated with a plurality of different marketed offerings;
- (b) receiving a contributor-derived factor associated with one of the marketed offerings, the contributor-derived factor being derived from at least one contribution data source, the at least one contribution data source having information derived from one or more contributors;
- (c) receiving a supplemental factor associated with one of the marketed offerings, the supplemental factor being derived from at least one supplemental data source;
- (d) applying at least one mathematical formula to the received contributor-derived factor and the received supplemental factor;
- (e) determining a score based on the application;
- and
- (f) displaying the score in association with the marketed offering.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one data storage device accessible by at least one processor over an electronic network, the at least one data storage device storing:
- (a) data associated with a plurality of different marketed offerings;
- (b) a plurality of contributor-derived factors associated with the marketed offerings, the contributor-derived factors being derived from a contribution data source, the contribution data source having information derived from one or more contributors, the contributor-derived factors changing depending upon a change in the contribution data source;
- (c) a plurality of supplemental factors associated with the marketed offerings, the supplemental factors being derived from at least one supplemental data source, the supplemental factors changing depending upon a change in the at least one supplemental data source;
- (d) at least one mathematical formula;
- and
- (e) a plurality of instructions which, when read by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with at least one display device to perform a plurality of steps for each of the marketed offerings, the steps including:
- (i) receiving the contributor-derived factor associated with the marketed offering;
- (ii) receiving the supplemental factor associated with the marketed offering;
- (iii) applying the at least one mathematical formula to the received contributor-derived factor and the received supplemental factor;
- (iv) determining a score based on the application;
- and
- (v) displaying the score in association with the marketed offering.

A system comprising:
- at least one data storage device accessible by at least one processor over an electronic network, the at least one data storage device storing:
- (a) data associated with a plurality of different marketed offerings;
- (b) a plurality of mathematical factors, the mathematical factors including:
- (i) a plurality of contributor-derived factors associated with the marketed offerings, the contributor-derived factors being derived from a contribution data source, the contribution data source having information derived from one or more contributors, the contributor-derived factors changing depending upon a change in the contribution data source;
- (ii) a plurality of network activity factors, each one of the network activity factors being associated with one of the marketed offerings, the network activity factors being derived from a network activity data source, the network activity factors changing depending upon a change in the network activity data source;
- and
- (iii) a plurality of social factors, each one of the social factors being associated with one of the marketed offerings, the social factors being derived from a social data source, the social factors changing depending upon a change in the social data source;
- (c) at least one mathematical formula;
- and
- (d) a plurality of instructions which, when read by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with at least one display device to perform a plurality of steps for each of the marketed offerings, the steps including:
- (i) receiving a plurality of the mathematical factors associated with a plurality of the marketed offerings;
- (ii) applying the at least one mathematical formula to the received mathematical factors;
- (iii) determining a plurality of scores based on the application;
- (iv) displaying the scores in association with the marketed offerings;
- (v) determining whether there has been a change in one of the mathematical factors after the scores have been determined;
- (vi) repeating steps (d)(i) through (d)(v) for at least one of the marketed offerings in response to the determination of the change;
- and
- (vii) displaying an updated score for the at least one marketed offering.
