Abstract
Systems and methods to display content are described. In some embodiments, program content is received from a content source. A method identifies product-related metadata associated with the program content where the product-related metadata includes at least one item displayed in the program content. The program content is communicated to a display device for presentation to a user in a first portion of the display device. The product-related metadata is communicated to the display device for presentation to the user in a second portion of the display device.
Claims20
A method for generating a composite rating about a first user, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of ratings about the first user from a plurality of second users, each of the ratings associated with a transaction between the first user and one of the second users;
- classifying, using at least one processor, the first user based on a number of the transactions;
- determining the second users that submitted the ratings from the received plurality of ratings that satisfy a pre-determined profile, the pre-determined profile being in accordance with the classification of the first user;
- adjusting the ratings from at least one of the second users that satisfy the pre-determined profile and which exceed a threshold;
- and
- generating the composite rating about the first user using the adjusted ratings and remaining ratings from the received plurality of ratings.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- calculating a contribution amount of specific ratings from a second user to all ratings from a plurality of second users, wherein the ratings from the plurality of the second users pertain to a performance metric of a first user and the specific ratings are ratings having a particular value from a ratings scale;
- in response to the contribution amount exceeding a threshold value, changing a count of the specific ratings from the second user to an another count;
- and
- calculating a composite rating for the performance metric of the first user based on the another count of the specific ratings and the ratings of the remaining second users.
A system, comprising:
- a storage device including a plurality of feedbacks about a first user from a plurality of second users, each of the feedback associated with a transaction between the first user and the one of the second users;
- and
- a computing device in communication with the storage device and configured to:
- classify the first user based on a number of the transactions,
- determine the second users that submitted the feedbacks that satisfy a pre-determined profile, the pre-determined profile being in accordance with a classification of the first user,
- adjust the feedbacks from at least one of the second users that satisfy the pre-determined profile and which exceed a threshold, and
- generate a composite feedback about the first user using the adjusted feedbacks and remaining feedbacks in the storage device.
