US 2016/0078111 A1 · Method And Apparatus For Quickly Evaluating Entities

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for evaluating entities for a target user, the method comprising obtaining, at a server computer, entity data from a plurality of data sources. The entity data is then stored in an entity database. The method further comprises merging the entity data from the plurality of data sources, mapping the entity data to a corresponding entity, and differentiating the entity. Then a relevance is determined associated with the entity data and data source. The method further comprises generating a set of entity evaluations to the target user using the relevance, determining a set of one or more entities relevant to the primary user based on the entity data, user data, and the relevance, with an initial order of relevance, and displaying, on a user device, the set of relevant entities to the target user in the order of relevance.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for evaluation of an entity for a target user based at least on stored data about the target user, wherein the entity is an entity of a set of entities, and evaluation is related to the entity, the method comprising:

receiving, at a server computer, entity data relating to an entity in the set of entities, wherein the entity data includes a relevance and a weight to the entity data;
generating, by the server computer, a set of entity evaluations to the target user based on the weight to the entity data and the relevance;
determining, at the server computer, a set of evaluations for one or more entities relevant to the primary user based on the entity data, user data, and relevance;
determining initial order of relevance of the set of relevant entities based on the relevance and weight of the set of entity evaluations;
and
communicating to the target user, on a user device, the initial order of relevance of the set of relevant entities to the target user, wherein the target user provides a response to entities in the set of relevant entities via the user device.

A server computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code executable by the processor to implement a method for evaluation of an entity for a target user based at least on stored data about the target user, wherein the entity is an entity of a set of entities, and evaluation is related to the entity, the method comprising:

receiving, at the server computer, entity data relating to an entity in the set of entities, wherein the entity data includes a relevance and a weight to the entity data;
generating, by the server computer, a set of entity evaluations to the target user based on the weight to the entity data and the relevance;
determining, at the server computer, a set of evaluations for one or more entities relevant to the primary user based on the entity data, user data, and relevance;
determining initial order of relevance of the set of relevant entities based on the relevance and weight of the set of entity evaluations;
and
communicating to the target user, on a user device, the initial order of relevance of the set of relevant entities to the target user, wherein the target user provides a response to entities in the set of relevant entities via the user device.
